A Great Game-The Farmers VS. the
Faculty.
md they all plaved ball.

And they all played ball.
The Experiment Station Staff
challenged the Faculty of the Uni
versity; the Faculty accepted; and
didn't they play ball? DeRoode
quit pulverizing fertilizer and tried
to pulverize the ball; Rane dropped
his hoe and played great ball; the
handsome Director moved about the
diamond like a man who felt sure
that the downtrodden farmer was
now to be indicated; Cincinnatus
Stoker left his pillow in the furrow !;
Hopkins stopped chasing bugs and
beetles and chased the ball; Rumsey
left his bicycle; and they played
ball.
The Faculty were there too; Mar
co Bozzaris Ramsey could be heard
above the din of battle cheering his
men; Aldrich left his blacksmith
shop and steam engines and played
under high pressure; Hare forgot for
the once the speech of Ariovistus to
the Ambassador and made home
runs; Anderson thought of the old
Roman games and threw the ball
with fury and force; Armstrong
made new study of porabolic curves
and caught'em every time; Miller
remembered Frebel's idea that we
learn to do by doing and he played
with the ball; Hartigan thought of
"the evolutions of the ball not a
theory but fact;' and they all
played ball.
Was it fun?
Did the students cheer'em?
Ask the boys what they are taking
for tired throat.
At first there was slight inclina-
ton among the spectators to bet;
but they concluded that ri SIX on
either side would be sure loss.
About the third inning disagree
ment arose which almost stopped
the game; there was difference of
opinion as to whether the batters
should run to the right or to the
left around the diamond, the UNI
pires didn't know; SO it was com
promised by allowing each man to
take his choice.
About this time there was cry of
fight" eight"
But no one could be induced to
fight and the game went on.
DR.. Myer retreated in good shape
leaving orders not to give up the
ship; Stoher fell by the wayside
The Faculty got the bat and it took
took two men to keep the score, the
tide turned; the farmers were now
ready to harvest their second crop
of clover, and they did. The game
was called at $50, Faculty 81,
Farmers 80. They would have
scored fully hundred a piece if
they had not called in outside help.
At $50 the ambulance drove over
the field and carried off the disabled
players. Spectators 500; gate re-
ceipts SIS; doctor bills $3.50.
1t was a great game; yes, they all
played ball

TowER-Died at her home in Oak
land, Md, Saturday, June 9, 1894,
Miss Cora Tower. Miss Tower is
kindly remember by many of our
people who met her two years ago
when she was the guest of Hon. aud
Mrs. Joseph Moreland, and they all
will regret to hear of her death.
TuRNER-The saying that death
loves shining mark" was surely
exemplified on Saturday June 9,
1894, when the Angel of Death en-
tered the home of DIR. and Mrs. E.
M. Turner, of Morgantown, and bore
away the soul of their youngest son,
Henry,to the Savior who said "Suffer
little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not for such is the king
dom of heaven" Little Henry would
have been years Of age on July
18th, and was an exceptionally pref
ty and sweet child, for whose un-
timely death, after three weeks of
patient suffering, there is the deep
est regret throughout the commupi-
ty, and the parents have the sincere
sympathy OF. ali in their sad afflic
ton. just as the sun was sinking
below the western horizon, the cas-.
ket containing the remains was
lowered into the grave, a SHADOW fell
over a group of mourners in Oak
Grove, and the light went out from
a happy home.
LoNa-Mr George I. Long, of
West Grafton, who has been in deli
cate health for some months past
died at the home of his father Flaw,
Mr.. w. w. Pixler, on last Sunday
morning at $50. Mr.. Long came to
this county with his father-in-law,
Mr.. w. w. Pixler about eight years
ago from Monongalia county, and
they together purchased the Elisha
Marker farm about four miles south
of town, where Mr.. Pixler still lives.
About three years ago Mr.. Long sold
his interest in the farm and moved
to West Grafton and engaged in the
mercantile business with Mr.. G. E.
Brand, in which he continued as
long as his health permitted. Mr..
Long was an excellent business man
and though his business career was
short here he made many friends and
he will ever be remembered as most
excellent citizen and an active, hon
est and intelligent business man and
a kind neighbor and faithful friend.
The funeral which was large one,
took place from the Baptist church
on Monday afternoon. Revs. Sim
mons, Barnes and Curry conducted
the funeral services, after which the
interment took place in Bluemont.-
Grafton Sentinel. Mr.. Long was a
son of Mrs. j. S. Brookover and his
many friends here will regret to hear
of his untimely death.

The Building up of Morgantown.

How often do we tell story over
and over again, until at last we be-
lieve it implicitly and can not see
how any body under the sun can see
it otherwise than it is presented to
our eyes and ideas. May this not
apply to the rare advantages in and
around Morgantown for the estab
lishment of Manufacturing enter
prises? Haven't we talked this mat
ter up until we have believed out
side capital would find it impossible
to stay away from our town, and
must flow in and build us up almost
against our wishes? But what is
the prospect: we have waited some
time but the capital that is invested
in other places has not been very
much disturbed about our superior
advantages. Now is it not time that
we took hold ourselves to build up
our own town, and develop the nat
ural resources that we have so Law
ishly extolled. Not in some great
scheme that would require, in our
mind, some hundreds of hands to
operate, but in manufacturing enter
prises that send their goods out of
town for sale, these bring money
in and place it in circulation. Mon
ey must circulate to make business.
Hard times show themselves prompt
ly when the surplus cash that circu-
lates is drawn out of the town or
country.
Let each progressive citizen look
around and see what can be done
Individually to the development and
building up ofsour own town. If some
enterprise already started wants
some assistance, let us look into it
and if success is reasonably sure we
must go into our own pockets and
place our own capital at work for the
development of our own town, we
must not sit still any longer telling
our story waiting for outside cash
to come in here and enrich us one
hundred per cent while it only makes
for itself eight or ten per cent.

An Important Amendment.

A certain Russian princess lost her husband few years ago, at which she
 was inconsolable and raised a fine mausoleum to his memory with this in- scription: My grief is so great that cannot bear it." Time rolled on and accomplished it's usual work of forget fitness, and the lady one morning was remarried to handsome officer in the imperial guards, followed by an mex pressibly happy honeymoon. Then the day came when the inscription conse- crated to No. 1 began to trouble the now consoled widow, who, with most naive simplicity, modified it by the ad- dition of single word: My grief is so great that I cannot bear it-alone.'

A Terrible Reminder.

Near Floyd Springs, Ga., lives on old negro woman. Her husband was a slave who followed the fortunes of his master in the late war. One night dur ing the war, while the owls were hoot- ing in an unusual way, the tidings came that her husband had been killed. Since that time, so long ago, the woman becomes violently insane whenever she hears an owl in the darkness. The fit, however, is momen- tary.
