He'd Got Him Sure.

Who has seen the Washington mon
ument in Baltimore, with the crouch
ing bronze lion of Bayre near its
base, will appreciate the story they
tell about the rustic huntsman on
his first visit to town. He was shown
all the objects OF interest in Balti-
more one by one, but gave each only
a passing glance and not even so
much as word OF comment When
he came in sight OF the Washington
monument, however, a new light
shot from his eye. At last it was
obvious that something had been
found to interest him. He scanned
the shaft for some minutes, running
his eye from the base to the point on
which the statue stood and back
again, then fastened his gaze on the
crouching lion as if fascinated. His
lips parted, and his city friends
drew near to hear his criticisms Of
the sculptor's art. At last out came
the words:
"B'gad, he's got the old man
freed, amt he!"

d. L. Roberts and John Gump of
the Mt. Morris region were here to-
day and they report the excitement
running high over the big oil strike
made by the Bald Hill company in
their well at Barker's on Dunkard
creek. Thousands of people visit
the well and sometimes the workmen
find it difficult to get to the rig for
the crowd.
Mr.. Roberts is a tool dresser and
has been working at the well for
some time. He says a fair strike
was made in the first pay streak of
the Big Injun sand at a depth of
about 100 feet, and on going little
deeper the big strike was made in
the second streak He says the we'll
is now doing 140 barrels day and
this flow will be increased when the
tubing is completed. The we'll is on
the Mary Mcclure farm. Two more
wells are going down on the Lott
Mcclure farm adjoining. The latter
has rs acres yet not leased, and fer
the lease of this tract he has been
offered cash bonus of 81, 000 Good
offers are being made for other un-
leased land in the vicinity. Samuel
McCauley has a field leased and is
putting down we'll on the David
Donley farm. Charles South has
leased nearly 1000 acres and Others
are also hustling to secure leases on
better terms to the owners than have
ever before been offered.

The Game to be Played at Uniontown
September 9Th.

The greatest game of the season
has been arranged to take place at
Uniontown on Thursday of next
week between Morgantown and Fair
mont. This is the outcome of the
recent game at Fairmont. When
the home club challenged Fairmont
the answer came as bluff naming
large sum of money as the stake
and accepting on condition that the
game be played any place except
in Morgantown. All the prelimin-
aries have been arranged and $1,000
put up by each side. Bets aggre-
eating over $4,000 more have been
made by private parties and the
greatest interest is shown in the
game. Scores of people from here
will go to see the giants play.
AS we go to press a great game OF
ball is in progress on the University
grounds between Morgantown and
Brownsville. The visitors reached
here about 8 o'clock Tuesday after
noon and the two clubs marched
through town to the ball grounds
each headed by a brass band. Sew
eral hundred excursionists accom-
panied the visitors and the crowd
made the streets quite gay during
the evening. AS our forms close
there is no indication as to the re-
suit of the game.

evening, August 22nd, the contract

Episcopal church, of which the fami-
ly are members. But few select
friends were present. The occasion
was joyous though quiet. Nice re-
freshments were served in time to
allow the greater number of guests
to accompany the happy young couple
to the station where they took the
1925 train for the East to remain a
few days near Baltimore with the
family of the groom. Mr.. Shultz
has been the Telegraph operator at
the railroad station here for about
two years past. He is very care
full, industrious and upright young

A Proposed New Branch in the Public
Schools.

Mrs. S. Fl. Wentworth, who has
for some years been a successful
teacher of Physical Culture in New
York City, is staying for a few
months in our town. She has mas
tered all the systems of physical cul
ture including the Swedish, and al
the urgent solicitation ofsome friends
she has consented to give instruction
to classes of young girls, and ladies
in our town who may wish to avail
themselves of this rare opportunity
since her regular work in New York
does not begin until the first Of the
year.
Those who value correct posture
graceful movements, and carriage
and training in the latest method O.
acquiring and retaining physica
perfection should not fail to embrace
this occasion which may never come
again.
Our public school authorities could
do no greater service for their patron;
than to secure her services during
her brief stay in giving regular les
sons to the pupils.
AT the request of the conductors
of the teachers institute now in pro
gress here, Mrs. Wentworth read ;
short paper on the Swedish system
of physical training as applied il
school work, and created great in
terest and enthusiasm in the teach
ers and others present. Those in
terested in this work can see Mrs

False Economy of Fair Managers.

The Fayette county fair is said 10
be poorer this year than ever and the
attendance worse. Possibly the dull
times may have something to do with
this, but bad management has had
more.
The managers of the fair appear
to be of that out of date class OF
people who do not believe in adver
Using. They have yet to learn that
county fairs, like circuses, cannot be
successfully conducted without lib
eral advertising. The managers OF
the Grand Army Reunion in Pitts
burg could give them some valuable
pointers on how to run a successful
county fair.
So poorly has the fair been adyer
tised that many Fayette county PEG
pie do not know there is a fair. A
brief local notice was run in some o.
the county papers, and few posters
mailed to hotels and offices. We
have seen but single one of these
posters m Connellsville
The managers of the fair have Ger
tainly been economical in advertising
it, but it has been costly economy tt
the association. For every dollar
saved ten dollars have been lost
