Our genial friend Colonel Noel
downey sometimes talks about the
weather. Here is his latest obserya-
ton: Hot weather is a great thing
for corn, but for men and women
who claim to reside in the Temperate
Zone, it is not SO refreshing. We are
told that the hot rays of the sun de,
stroy the germs of disease. If any
were located in our system before the
past week they must be about done
up.
WHEN at Pittsburg last week, the
Rev. Mr.. Day was chosen by the
Board of Visitors of Pittsburg Fe-
male College to write their report.
This makes the third report Mr.. Day
has been called upon to write of this
character, in three years. The West
Virginia conference has elected him
to write the past two years their re-
port upon Education. Making for
him five papers upon Education in
three years. Guess they think that
living in university town agrees
with him.
MONDAY afternoon r. T. Holland
was laying brick on the northeast
corner of the new Watson Hotel, and
by some means lost his balance and
fell to the ground, a distance of over
twenty feet. He struck ON an empty
barrel, which no doubt checked his
fall A brick followed him from the
scaffold and struck him on the head
and made an ugly wound He was
taken to DR.. Rogers office, where
his wounds were dressed He was
badly bruised about the limbs, but
none Of his injuries are thought to
be serious. Some two years ago Mr..
Holland had a sun stroke, and from
which he has never fully recovered.
-Inder. Mr.. Holland is brother
of Jacob and Cape Holland of this
county
ED. KENNEDY one of the young men
arrested on the speakeasy boat and
indicted for resisting an officer, was
tried Saturday and acquitted. Ken
nedy was simply cook on the boat
and had nothing to do with the whis-
key traffic, Harding was found
guilty on six indictments for selling
whiskey and sentenced to 80 days in
Jail and to pay the fines and costs.
The case against him for resisting
an officer was continued until next
court. Gold, the one who was out
on bail, failed to turn up for trial,
and Cook who escaped by hiding in
the hold Of the boat when it was cap
tured by the officers has not been
heard of.

ABOUT every so often, and fire.
quently oftener, some one writes
lot of twaddle about there being no
hitching posts in Morgantown to
which farmers can hitch their
horses while trading. The simple
facts of the case are, there are hitch
ing posts at the East end of Walnut
street and in front of many stores,
and there is not merchant in town
who does not keep heavy iron
weights for the sole purpose that
their customers can hitch their
horses to them. We will wager dol
lars to doughnuts that no man, be he
from the country, city or town can
ride or drive up to any store in
Morgantown without the merchant
offering to take care of his horses.
This matter has been misrepresented
often that some few people have
come to believe it the truth and it
has injured the town. just ride up
