The death of man like F. M.
Durbin is always a great loss to the
community in which he lives. His
loss will be felt in Inorganic town
though he has not lived here for
many years. A native of the place
he was widely known and none knew
him except to respect him. He was
a man of broad mind, unquestioned
integrity, and an upright life in ev-
cry sense of the word. In his earlier
life he was teller in the Merchants
National Bank of Morgantown. He
severed his connection with that in
stitution to become cashier of the
Grafton National Bank which be
made one of the best financial insti-
buttons of the state. At the time of
his death he was cashier of the Wood
county bank in Parkersburg. His
has been an Industrious, useful life
and the world will miss his work.

Its a Good Town

The town of Morgantown was new
er SO prosperous as on this Sth day
Of November 1894
Neither the blighting effects of
Mckinley tariff, or the universal de
preston which has followed as log
ical result in the trail of that meas
ure, has served to check the growing,
irrepressble progress of our town.
There is not an unemployed labor
er among our population. There is
no line of business or industry that
is not in a healthy condition. There
is more money now going into build
ings on Main street than was ever
before expended in the whole town
at one time.
Moreover the growth of the town
is natural and substantial. There
is no abnormal imitation in it. 1t is
healthy, uniform and legitimate.
So it will continue to grow. We
are only beginning to acquire the
natural results of our local advanta
ges. There is no other town in the
State, or none in many States, which
has so many natural advantages to
invite capital and population.
Its good town." is the general
verdict Of every visitor. People like
to come here. They like to stay at
ter they get here They will contin
ne to come and to stay, and our sub
urbs will continue to spread and
widen, new faces will be seen on our
streets and in places of business, fine
business blocks, and tall churches.
and elegant residences will continue
to loom up here and there, until. in
few years, we will have reached a
point where the natural impetus Of
growth and prosperity will carry us
rapidly to the dignity of small CITY.

Workmen at Pullman, Illinois,
want to colonize at some place close
to large markets where farming
would pay. Some of them have &C
cepted inducements offered them to
go to..Alabama. If there was anorgan-
ization in this county, which would
encourage it, immigration would
blossom like the rose. Halt the PEG
pie who own farms in this county
don't till nearly all of it. Land can
be bought cheap here, and on good,
easy terms. But some enterprise
and energy is necessary to attract
the people, why should our people
not display that needed energy now?

Now attend to your own business.
Chances are it needs attention. This
election business is something every.
body attends to and in many cases
the individuals private affairs suffer
meanwhile. It's all over now. And
times are good and will be better if
we all go to work with the idea that
each one of us can do something to-
ward making them better. There
will be no tariff agitations to bother
any of us for several years to come.
Look at the matter squarely and you
will see how true it is. Now let all
personal differences brought about
by political discussion be buried
Let's all do something for old
Monongalia. Let's make her boom
Get more farmers and laborers to
come in and be happy with US.

dies Radically Cured.

The spacious parlor offices Of DR.. Damon,
at COS Twelfth street northwest, continue to
be crowded with anxious people. The fame
OF the doctors wonderful success has gone
abroad far and near, and the afflicted are
avalling themselves of what has proven to be
their only reliable means of cure. Here may
be seen the deaf, the rheumatic, the palsied,
and the blind sitting side by side with dys-
peptic, the sufferer from catarrh, and the un-
fortunate whose life has been sapped by the
lingering torments OF spinal curvature. In
short, there is no variety Of disease which
does not find its way to the Offices Of these
gifted magnetic healers. These mec are pos
sessed OF a power that belongs to no other
men In the curing of disease. It is power
which the doctors have been conscious of
since early hfe, and, combining with it
thorough training In the science of medicine
and the treatment of disease, they have been
able to obtain results unequaled by other
practitioners. DR.. Damon cures all forms of
female complaints without the use Of instru-
ments or exposure. In fact, no disease in the
whole category of human ailments is proof
against the doctors magnetic power.
Take no ones word except that Of cured
patient. Let no prejudice stand in the way
OF reason, but whatever your complaint may
be, it will be to your interest to consult him.
Magnetism Is the greatest boon OF this age,
and 1t is fast supplantiDg the old-fashioned
and obsolete methods of our grar dfathers by
making permanent and lasting cures when
all other systems have utterly failed.

A WORD OR TWO FOR
WOMEN TO READ

Until women stand by women and show
their support in all the womanliness OF their
nature no lasting result can be obtained. Let
women uphold each other for the right as
men do each other for either right or wrong,
and in the end the steadfastness OF their pur-
pose must accomplish the noble aim In
view.
If you dress or act in way to attract atten-
ton on the street. you will win neither admi-
ration nor envy. and the remarks your ap-
pearance will elicit would cause you pang
of modification could you hear them. A
startling style of dress will tend to emphasize
whatever bad points you may have, and bring
into prominence the defects you are seeking
to hide. Observe the next woman who at
tracts attention on account of her noticeable
style of dress. and see if it is not the case.
pretty carriage robe for baby is made OF
pale blue Saxony wool with stripes of open
stitch alternating with close knitted ones.
Through the open work is run wide satin rib
bons of pale blue. and the name may be en-
broidered or painted on the center.
Cultivate amiability of manner. IAN amia-
bic woman" says some one. "can never
grow DID," In regard TO sulky people this
same woman remarks: 'They always appear
to be ten years older than they really are.
The face grows wrinkled from contracting
the brows; the mouth projects disagreeably
when sulking.''
