now bachelor preacher whose
congregation has fallen off with the
season wants to know if a summer
girl can go to Heaven. We should
say that it depends altogether on

A newspaper not thousand miles
miles from Morgantown, is bidding
for public recognition by its abuse
of the State University. A few mis-
guided editors so far forgot them
selves as to mention its senseless ar
ticle and it is to be hoped that any
thing that may hereafter appear in
it's columns will meet with the silent
contempt that it deserves.
1t is rather amusing to see what
monkeys some Republican editors
make OF themselves in trying to ex-
plain the cause of the good times.
Every one knows the bankrupt con
+ dition not only of the Treasury but
of the people generally at the close
of the Harrison administration and

The midsummer issue of the La
dies Home Journal is an especially
excellent and attractive one. 1t is
filled with the wisdom of many of
the best writers in the world. The
beautiful panel of Spring on the GOV

the magazine. 1t is published by
the Curtis Publishing Company, of
Philadelphia, for ten cents per num-

Extensive arrangements are being
made for the comfort of the great
crowd of visitors who will attend
the Cotton States and International
Exposition, in Atlanta, in the fall.
The Department of Public Comfort
has beer fully organized, and is
hard at work. Many new hotels
have been secured, aud the work of
construction on both permanent and
temporary buildings, is making AT
lanta resound with the music of the
hammer and saw. Mr.. Alex. w.
Smith, the chief of the Department
of Public Comfort, announces that
when his plans are carried out,

The calamity howlers have been
driven back steadily by the rising
tide of industry for the past two
months until they are in desperate
straits. The developments have
driven them from every position they
took until the wool industry was the
only thing they had to harp over.
But now even this refuge will no Ion
ger avail them, for announcements
of advances in wages by wooden and
worsted mills are coming thick and
fast. Recently it was made known
that the Collins Wooden Mills Cor
poration, of Dracut, Mass, had in.
creased the wages of its employees 10
per cent, and notices of similar i'm
port were posted by the Beoli Com

facture, but it is none the less sure
