Judge Hagans Surprised,

The members of the Monongalia
county bar and Judge John Marshall
Hagans will often remember with
pleasure the 18th of August on ac-
count of that date being the 9th an
niversary of the Judges birth, and
the occasion of a most pleasant gath
ering of legal lights at the Judges
hospitable home. The Judge went
up town in the evening and at $50
a message was sent to him that a
gentleman desired to see him at his
home On arriving at the door The
Judge was escorted to the parlor
where 2 members of the bar con
graduated him on his good health
and wished him many happy returns
of the day. At $3.50 Mrs. Hagans
served elegant refreshments to the
party of ID but the little fact that it
was the 18th of the month and with
the host there were 10 in the party
did not for an instant cast a shadow
over the flow of wit and humor AT
ter the party returned to the parlor
Col. IL. h. Fast on behalf of the mem
bers of the Monongalia county bar
in neat little speech presented the
Judge with an elegant solitaire dia-
moud stud of the first water. The
Judge was surprised on finding the
party at his home and doublv sur
prised when the Colonel presented
him with the "sparkler" as token of
the esteem in which he is held by the
bar The Judge expressed his thanks
and appreciation in that most happy
vein for which he is noted and az a
late hour the guests departed leav
ing the Judge in a happy frame of
mind and feeling themselves that it
was good to be there. A number of
the members of the bar were out of
town and could not be present, those
who were there were, Judge John A.

him to be fuller and richer than ever

To the general superintendent Dr.

individual living in Putnam county,

to find it,

loss. He is over rs years of age and

We Are Thinking About 1t.

The Republican press notes the
surprising fact that the Democrats
are again thinking of carrying West
Virginia.
Well, yes, yes we are, for fact.
When the election of 1894 rolled
over us it was sometime before we
had time to think. We were swamped
under two enormous evils; business
depression and a Republican victo
ry. For several months we couldn't
have carried five-pound weight
without bracer, to have saved our
lives.
But after the adjournment of the
late Republican legislature we began
to thinka little. A return of bust
ness prosperity, under Democratic
administration, has caused us to
think little more At first we were
barely hopeful. Democratic success
then became possibility. Things
have gone on until it has become a
probability, and from this day on we
shall work to make it certainty IT.

The University.

The fall term of the University
will begin on Wednesday Septem her
l1th. The time is drawing compar
atively near-four weeks from to day
and faculty and students are max
Ing preparations to enter upon the
years work with more vigor than ev-
er before. The school is better than
ever New facilities are added every
year and more students can be in
strueted. 1t is gratifying to note
the growing interest in its usefulness.
The Wheeling News speaks of the
institution in its editorial columns
in late issue as follows:
1t is gratifying to note the earnest
efforts that are being put forth by
the new management Of the State
University toward the upbuiding
and popularization, so to speak, of
that institution A vast number of
West Virginians have failed to real
ize, through lack of effort To attract
their attention, and others have per
sistently refused to recognize the
splendid advantages and opportuni
ties that are offered to the youth Of
West Virginia by the University.
Here is great school, created bv
the generosity of the State 1t has
been improved and added to ' ear at
ter year, until it can Justly claim
rank with any similar institution in
the country, with possibly a half
dozen exceptions. To West Virgin
ians its magnificent facilities are of
fered absolutely free of charge; the
expenses of attendance are, it is safe
to say, fully 80 per cent less than
would be incurred at any other school
of equal standing in the country.
This consideration alone should nat
urally have very great influence in
persuading West Virginia parents to
favor the University.
But there is another consideration
which possibly an alumnus of the
University may appreciate more than
any other The West Virginia boy
who receives an education in a West
Virginia school, among West Virgin
ia boys, forms associations which
prove of inestimable value to him in
after life. He knows his own State
and the people of it, when he leaves
school, as thoroughly as ten years of
business career can teach him.
Such the News believes will be the
testimony of every alumnur of the
State University whose home since
graduation has been in the State.
