The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1894-10-20
Our Beechwood Budget.

BEEcHwooD, Oct 13.-Wm. J. Wind
sor, and Masters Charley and Harry, Of
Clarksburg, were the guests OF friends
and relatives in Grant district last week.
They returned the 18th inst, expecting
to visit relatives in Palatine on their
way. Mr.. Windsor was born and raised
in this county, and has been Superin-
tendent Of the Pattern Department in
the Hart Foundry at ClarksbuIg for sew
eral years. He is a subscriber to the
New DOMINION, and says the first thing
he looks for after receiving it is the local
letter from near his old home, and that
he wishes there would be a whole col
umn in every letter and issue of the pa
per. But we correspondents cannot
write a whole column without the re-
quired amount OF news. The verdict Of
this gentleman shows how much the To-
cal letters are appreciated.
Mr.. |. W. Kirk and Master Earl, Of
Masontown, came to the Republican
mass meeting at your town last Tuesday
and then paid flying visit to their
grandmother, Mrs. Nancy Windsor, of
west side.
Mr.. S. &, Morgan OF The west side,
leased some coal land last week at $50
an acre to DR.. Brock.
Several school terms in Grant begin
to-day. Some say the people Of Grant
district will vote for six months school
instead of five the coming election,
That's fright, and we hope it will carry !;
for We do not want to be called Sang
diggers" any longer by the people Of
| Pennsylvania and other states, who are
ahead Of us in the country schools. We
learn many country districts in Pennsyl-
vania have seven months school every
! year, and we surely can afford a six
months term in Grant district, and the
| increase in the school tax will be but
| little-On an average OF less than one
half OF what persons spend for tobacco
in the course OF year. We must be
/ patriotic; take an interest in the well
fare of the girls and boys, remembering
| that youth is the best time to educate,
and that they should have a school term
| OF such length that their minds would
not be idle too long in the year; aid
those persons who have the mind, and
are willing to work hard in the instruc-
ton Of the young, to make a living at the
| profession, and keep them in the pro-
fession as long as possible, so as to get
the benefit of their experience which
should get more valuable the longer they
teach Practice makes perfect, is an
old maxim, which you know is true from
experience.
Died at the residence of his son, John
A. Jones, in Huntington, on Thursday
October 4th, Nathan Jones, formerly of

brought to Morgantown, and taken
thence to Zoar graveyard near Laurel
Point on the 9th and laid by loved ones
gone before.
