LENT, that penitential period
which is observed more in Morgan
town than was the case some years
ago, begins Feb. 3. Easter comes
just six weeks after.
TICKETS for the Schumann Quar-
tet are for sale at McVicker's drug
store. 1t will be better for people to
get them beforehand and thus save
any delay at the door.
FIVE new residen are to be built
on the Beechurst Avenue addition in
the spring. This is very favora-
BILE time to make contracts as ma
terial can be purchased low.
THE colored brass band will give
a concert about the 18th of Febru-
airy. The members are preparing a
splendid program and they will no
doubt give an excellent entertain
met.
N. E. SHAFFER is adding a line of
dry goods to his stock. He is grad

The taking of the dispositions Of
witnesses in the divorce case of Mrs.

has been going on for several days
past before Notary Frame The
case will be heard at the coming

THERE will be a great shooting
match down ON Beechurst next Sat
urday. A whole drove of turkeys,
several cans of oysters and the coun
ty championship will be to win.
Dorsey Slime seems to be the prime
mover in the tourney.
One of The most worthless buns
about town stole fl re cans of oysters
from Major Keener's door few
evenings ago. He was seen taking
them and has been given time to re-
store the value of the theft. Should
be fail to do so he will be arrested.
BUSINESS, of course, has been dull
in Morgantown for some time past
but not so much so as in many other
places. In the spring with the
building operations that are now as
sured and the opening of the B. &
o. north we may look for a veritable
boom.
SOME one entered the stable and
cut the throat of the only horse that
belonged to Mrs. Sam'l Mccoy, widow
of the man who was foully murdered
near Waynesburg recently. This
seems to bear out the theory that
Elsiminger, the man in jail charged
with the murder had an aceomplice.

country think they can beat the law
years in expounding the law one half
think they can beat the doctors
healing the sick; two thirds think
they can beat the minister preach
ing the gospel, and all of them think
they can beat the editor in running
a newspaper.
SCARCELY week passes that we
do not refuse cheap advertisements.
The advertiser, knowing its value, is
as rule very persistent, and he tells
US he can get the same work from
other newspapers that claim to
have larger circulation, We
frequently invite him to go there and
he generally gets it at his own price.
THERE will be graceful walking
among the colored people at munich
pal building next Saturday night. A
genuine, adulterated cake walk,
that form of display for which the
sons and daughters of Ham are ia
nous, will take place. Some people
never saw a cake walk. To them il
may be said that the amusement is
well worth the price.
CLEL BRIGHT was fined 50 and costs
Monday in Mayor Lazzell's court.

unprintable pleasantries the night
before, eliminating in Clel hitting

The building associations are
about the most fourishing institu-
tions here. Our people are carrying
something over 100000 in building
association stock. These organiza-

many people. There are quite
number of cozy homes in and about
Morgantown whose owners were
greatly helped by the associations.

THE ice men are despairing of
gathering crop of the home grown
article. If we have no ice this win,
ter nothing but the weather will be
to blame for slight rise in prices
next summer. But winter is not over
yet, although the time is past in
which ice is usually harvested Last
year and year before the ice houses
were ell filled before this late in the
month. And while winter is not over,
there is little prospect of ice of suffi-
Gent thickness to put up for use.
The railroad rumor rumbling on
the West side is not very distinct up
this way, but down below it is heard
loud and often, with no very positive
date to base prophecy as to the
time of probable construction. But
this is the way with railroads. They

event is some place not very far in
the rear.
