We're quite popular.
Prof. B. White will open a
Business College and Classical
Institute in Weston the first of
October. The charter will be
ready in about three weeks. 1t

associated with him in the work.
The proceedings of the recent
Democratic convention at Clarks-
burg were splendidly and graph.
ically portrayed in each of the
Wheeling papers. That prince
OF writer's, George A. Dunning-
ton, represented the lnteaigencer.
The handsome and cultured H.y.
Arkel kept the Register posted
and Naylor, the radiant and
poetic prophet of the EUentng
Ne'cs not only wrote his story
gracefully but captured the hearts
OF some of our girls as we'll.
During the recent lectures for
the U. B. church at Buckhannon
Sam Jones made many friends.
He contracted with the church to
deliver three lectures, but with
out any additional charge gave
five and before he left made them
a present of $25. His manner of
speaking was considered rather
coarse by some of his hearers, yet
there is no doubt that Sam Jones
las doing good for humanity and
his worth is being more and more
appreciated.
Bill Coon one of our iolliest
of young colored boys-often
called Laughing Bill"-met with
a most humiliating accident in
front of the Government build
ing last Monday about noon. A
large number of people were lott
ering about the post Office as Bill
passed and some of his friends
gave him friendly shove that
sent him bestride a hydrant that
stood near and got tangled in his
pantaloons. He fell in such i
way as to almost completely teal
all his clothing from HIM. IL i.
reported that all that remained

mortified but managed to get into
a store near by where his dilapi.

The demand for stalls for cat,
lie and pens for hogs, sheep and
other domestic animals to be ex.
hibited at the fair is far in ad.
vance of anything dreamed of by
the managers. Every stall was
engaged the first day the books
were opened and a number OF
men were put to work building
new stalls and pens. 1t is safe
to say that the exhibits will be
larger this year than ever be-
fore. The large display of fine
stock will be one of the best
features of the exhibition. 1t will
be remembered that sixteen new
pens had to be built last year
and certainly this additional de-
mand during these hard times
speaks well for the farmers of
Harrison county.
The big wreck on the b. 6 o.
last Monday is the first passenger
wreck that has occurred on the
Branch for years. The B. & O..
has been exceedingly fortunate
in its wrecks. 1t has never killed
one of its passengers on the
branch. or course a good many
people have been killed on the
crack and some while stealing
passage on freights, which was
generally the result of careless
ness. There is no watchman at
Cannon's cut where the wreck oc-
