A FLOCK of wild geese flew over
town Monday night. The geese were
flying due East and the racket made
by them attracted the attention of
everybody. They were flying low,
but not low enough for the small

ers of the sport were not at all back
ward about taking advantage of the
first ice of the season. The ice was

glass and highly enjoyed even if sew

down on it the others kept right on
skating.

up in large box, or stand, and Sat

door off the box. Ten days in Jail

CLARKsBURG girls put on more airs
than the society ladies of Paris.
The boys are as plain as old rags
and wouldn't use a clothes brush if
they had one.-Clarks6urg News
And the difference is that the Paris
ladies come naturally by their "airs''
and wear them gracefully while the
Clarksburg girls put on so many
that they bend beneath the load and
are thereby disfgured.

the other night and Sanford says he,
the coon, is half dead with dyspep-
STA caused from eating too much fat
turkey. The place where the turkey
was wont to roost is now decorated
with his feathers watered by San
ford's tears and made pleasant by
the coon's smiles.
THOSE who show a newspaper man
a kindness never made a better in
vestment, nor one'that will pay them
larger returns. There are times in
the life of every man, may he be in
either private or political life, when
a newspaper can either make or
break his future prosperity. News
paper men, like others are only hu-
man. They favor those who favor
them and unmake those who do
them a wrong. Men, too often, in
vain imagination of their own con-
ceit, undervalue the true power of
the press. No matter how powerful
a man may be, the persistent effort
of the press will kill his strength
despite the best efforts he may other
wise put forth.
