WHEN money is close people are
more careful to scan the advertise

very favorable time for our merchants
and business men to advertise ex
tensively.
IT should be understood by al

A GENTLEMAN remarked to us yes

in the newspaper business judging
from the number now in Morgantown

sixth one to appear next month
There is fortune in it but no one
seems able to get it out

market business, including refriger-
ator and all appliances and the good
will, to j. l.. Keener, who will take

THE Board of Health Withdrawing
any protest, the public schools open
ed again on Monday. While the
number of cases Of scarlet fever are
very few, it was em;nently proper
as a precautionary measure to keep
the schools closed while there was
even the slightest degree of danger
of a general infection from the NAL
ady.
FOXES are either more numerous,
or come out of their holes with less
fear than usual Reports are in
from the west side that it is no trick
at all to get up chase, and further
that so many of the fleet little quad
rnpeds have never been seen before.
Now who is the natural history dew
otee who can tell the reason of the in
crease and multiplying of reynard.
EFTHE great fear now among or
chard owners is that the sunshine
and warmth so unduly displayed
for the time of year will bring out
the fruit blossoms and then later
along would come nipping and an
eager cold spell, and apples would
be apples indeed and in truth. There
is danger of this or the warm wea-
ther we have had would make the
farmers perfectly happy.
A HORSE can't be bought in Mon
ongalia for the small figure that was
the condition of the early fall. The
price has been aided by the gifts of
Providence evidently. The weather
has not been such as to require the
heavy feeding that was naturally ex-
peeted Several weeks of the winter
passed have saved immensely the
small stock of feed, and as the
springtime is shifted the price is put
up on horses, and many who wanted
to dispose of them are now going to
keep them.
WELL, dear people, since you have
thenames Of the Williams who went
ahont and broke all previous records
at destroying other peoples property,
what is to be done with them? The
matter seems to have been let die
down with the implied comment
OF we know you, but don't you ever
do it again. Some people say that
one member of the crowd, who got
scared from some cause, gave away
the names of his partners in crime.
Some say he didn't. No one seems
quite ready to verify either report.
Lon HENRY the young man who
eloped and then did not marry the
girl he eloped with because her father
caught up with and put him off the
train, started back from Terra Alta
in his cart, but the report comes in
that he has not yet reached home.
Probably he is afraid of the guying
hat he is sure to get from those who
used to know him best. 1t certain
~ is humiliating experience to a
young man to have everything fixed
for a quiet wedding and then get
left as badly as he did. Poor Lon.
But the girl is to be congratulated.
A SAD, hut effective, lesson has
lately been clearly outlined to the
small boy, so clearly that he who
runs may read, that there is danger
in dynamite. This powerful explo-
sive is handled on public works on
ly by old, experienced, careful men,
who know of the deadly results OF
the merest false detail in its USE
This should be reason sufficient to
keep boys who think they know all
and do not know anything about it
from touching it under any circum-
stances or conditions. Keep away
from it. Its harmless appearance
will get YOU into serious trouble. A
man who stays in the house with the
doors locked is not likely to be bit.

The Register intimates that before
many weeks there will be change
of schedule on the B. & O. People
all along the line are protesting
against the present time table. Sc
far as Morgantown people are con
cerned. their hope is for trains te
soon run on the extension to Union
town, and then, whether going cas-,
or west, they will be enabled to make
proper and convenient train connec
lions below. Our interests are dowr
that way and of course we are mos
concerned about when trains shall
run in that direction We look in
thot direction for tho capital to do
