The Big Ball.

December fourth will be red let
ter day to Morgantown society for
that is the day set for the Big Event.
The benefit ball will take the
place of the defunct and lamented
military ball and is now engrossing
the minds of the Four Hundred to
the exclusion of all other topics.
The ladies of the town are enlisted
to woman in the undertaking and
when they set their heads to thing
it has to be done right. Several hun
dred invitations have been sent out
to all the prominent people in the
state, including Governor MacCorkle
and Senator Elkins. Large delega-
tions of pleasure seekers from Graf
ton, Clarksburg, Fairmont and other
nearby points will attend and moth
ing will be lacking to make the af-
fair a brilliant success. The woody
headed warriors in whose honor the
ball is to be given will be on exhibit
ton and all of our fairest will be
there. The decorations while they
will probably not be so elaborate as
those that graced the military balls
will be very fine. Missing this func-
ton will mean the loss of the pleas
ure of an evening such as will not
soon again be presented to the devo-
tees of the light fantastic in the state

The New Vocation.

The Episcopalians recently pur-
chased for use in their chapel an or
gan which for purity, depth and
sweetness of tone is perhaps without
an equal in this part of the State. 1t
is called Vocation on account of
its tones resembling the human voice
1t is two manual reed-pipe organ
and has full set of pedals. The
most prominent organists pronounce
it equal in tone to $4,000 pipe Or
gan. The platform for the choir has
been enlarged and accommodates
about twice as many as formerly.
The choir under the direction of Mr..
Crossman has made wonderful pro-
gress and its singing the first morn
ing after the installation of the organ
was very fine, Misses Donley and
Spencer being exceptionally effect
i've. The new instrument means a
great deal to our citizens in the way
of developing their musical taste and
the church deserves great credit for
its enterprise in securing such a
prize.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1896-11-28

a special election will be held at
Fairmont on Dec. at which the yot-
ers win pass on the proposition to add
Mapel avenue, the Pierpoint addition
and the Hamilton addition to the in
corporation Of the town. The pur-
pose Of the election is to make anoth-
er step toward consolidating all the
suburbs into the town making a
ssGreater Fairmont." We sincerely
hope that the measure will carry as it
will aid the town materially in induc-
ing manufactures and other enter
prises TO locate there. We also desire
very much to see the day when all the
scattered little towns around Morgan
town shall unite with the old town
and aid in this way to give us the po-
sitioh that we deserve and should
have but for the spirit that prevents
consolidation. A fair investigation Of
the subject will show all parties con-
cerned that such a move would be
highly beneficial to them all. 1t is
bound to come sooner or later and the
sooner the better. Speed the day.

A Family Reunion.

There was great joy in the home
of Lewis S. Hilderbrand on Thurs
day last, Nov. 18th, when his family
of eleven children all invaded his
premises to his complete surprise,
for the purpose of having reunion
of his living descendants before the
aged parents should leave for the
Golden Shores"
Mr.. Hilderbrand is now so years
old, and his wife is IS. They reside
at Opekiska, in Monongalia county
These aged people are the parents of
twelve children, all of whom but one
are living The oldest child is now
IS and the youngest is 80 years.
There were 50 grandchildren and 80
great grandchildren. Four of each
generation have died. There has been
but one death in the first family in
fifty years. The crowd met at the
home of Clark Hilderbrand, near the
old home, and proceeded in one body.
On their arrival the surprise was
complete, and the parents were joyed
beyond description. Well filled bask-
cts accompanied the intruders (?)
and a most happy day was spent. 1t
was the first time the family were
all at home at the same time. A
photographer made picture of the
assembled families. Thomas Hid
erbrand, of this place, is son and
R. L. Stevens is grandson, both
families being present at the reun-
ion.-Free Press.

A Meritorious Entertainment,

The company that will appear at
the Opera House tomorrow evening
was at Washington, Pa, last Satur-
day. Mondays Washington Obser-
yer says of it:
"The Gilbert Opera Company,
which appeared at the town hall
Saturday evening in the comic opera
Mascot up to Date" played to a
well filed house and proved itself to
be possessed of great merit. The
company is not a large one but is
composed of star material. The plot
of Mascot up to Date" is pleasing
and the situation dramatic The cos
tunes were rich and worn with good
grace. In bringing such an excel
lent company to Washington Man
ayers Stuart & White score another
success"

Good Luck Befalls a Former Monsnga
liam.


The most important oil strike of re-
cent date in Tyler county is located
on the farm of w. J. Wharton. The
we'll is about ten miles from the
nearest producing well and is the re-
suit of long and patient drilling
About year ago well was begun
ON the farm and drilled to the depth
of several hundred feet when part of
the tackle broke off and became fast
ened in the well. After months of
unsuccessful fishing another well
was started. This proved to be one
of the richest strikes ever made in
the county. When first drilled in il
produced about 200 barrels. This
production has steadily increased
until it now produces $50 barrels and
is still increasing. Mr.. Wharton is
well known in this county having
been born and raised here and his
many friends will be glad to hear of
his great good fortune. 1t is thought
that several more good wells will be
located on the farm.

she wants dude with tooth pick

A BRICK crossing has been laid
across Beechurst at its junction with

The blade is about two feet long

would take keen edge. The han
die is made of two pieces of horr
riveted on either side of the same
piece that forms the blade.

A SMOOTH talker visited town few
