IT is said that previous engage
ment will prevent the Wheeling
Opera House Band being here during
commencement If the report is
true we would suggest that Rutter's
Band of Uniontown, Pa, he secured
Rutter's Band was here during the
lot sale in June and the general YER
dict was that better band was new
err in the town, and their string mu-
sic is said to be of as high order as
the brass.

THERE seems to be little doubt
that the fruit is to great extent
killed in this vicinity. In converse
ton with Mr.. Sampson Pool, one of
our intelligent and observant farm
ers, we learn that his fruit except
damson plums is killed, even the ap.
pies. Mr.. Pool thinks however that
here and there orchards that stand
on protected land will bear at least
part of crop. 1t is greatly to be
better that the present outlook in
dicates.
PREPARATIONS are already being
made for the commencement ball.
Six hundred invitations will be sent
out TO society people in towns
throughout the State and neighbor-
ing towns in Pennsylvania. A large
number Of ladies and gentlemen from
Pennsylvania towns will no doubt be
present, now that the railroad is
completed, and the prospects are
bright for the largest and SWEETEST
social affair in the history of the
University.
The man going West was talking
to the man going East from Kansas.
II understand" he said, "you have
very clear atmosphere in Kansas. -
"Yes, yes" replied the Kansan, not
wishing to depress real estate values,
and yet not entirely oblivious of his
early training; that is to say, most
ly; but 1T sometimes gets choked up
little with houses and barns and
fences and household effects, and
trees and few cattle and pigs and
horses, and occasionally some of the
population. AS a rule, though, that
is, mostly, it is very clear atmos-
phere.'
THERE is no doubt but that the
late cold snap did great deal of
damage in this section One farmer
said that he would have to re pillow
and plant his potato field as the po-
tatoes planted had been frozen and en-
tirely ruined. We suppose it is the
same throughout the county. Early
vegetables in gardens, onions, lettuce
etc, were almost all ruined and the
people who expected to have early
garden truck are looking sad. In
Preston county and the mountains
of this county where the season is
from two to three weeks later no
damage is reported to the fruit.
A LAWSUIT that might have cost
the county considerable sum was
amicably settled by the commission
ers on Saturday. 1t was the case of
Jas. A. Comley against the county
court and was for damages for Mr..
Comley's traction engine breaking
through bridge on Dolls Run and
getting badly demolished. The
bridge was unsafe hence his case
was good one. The commissioners
awarded Mr. Comley $225.00 which
paid the actual cost of repairing the
engine, but they declined to pay any
damages. Both sides wanting to do
the right thing Mr.. Comley then de-
cided to not go into law over the
matter and thus settled it without
costs.
A MoRGANTowN woman sleeps with
a horse shoe under her pillow for
good luck. The other night she put
her false teeth under her pillow.
She oversight the next morning, and
jumping out of bed slapped the shoe
into her mouth and wore it several
hours before she discovered her mis-
take.-Inder. Yes, the above is
true. The lady was born and raised
in Fairmont and her husband know
ing that her sister needed set of
masticaters drove nails through the
holes in the shoe and sent it TO the
young lady who lives at that town
with her parents. The young lady s
name is suppressed as Brother Smith
of the Index while here last week
said that, she was very sensitive
about having the young men know
that she wore store teeth"

Weaver has become somewhat EN-

either the dishonesty or inefflcency
of some other men with whom he was
