MUNICIPAL improvement is going
on everywhere. One vast building
in the Pittsburg Exposition is given
up to the display Of mechanical and

that makes the average Morgan
towner proud of his town.
ONE hundred and forty-two students
are enrolled at the Normal, about
twenty more than at this time last

were 80 enrolled, in '91 there were 95,
in 1872 there were "a, in '93 there were
Ill, in '94 there were 125 and in '95
there were 1877. This certainly indi-
Gates an increasing desire on the part
of West Virginia young folks to OBJ
tain an education. Inder.
