Why Not Celebrate?

The University is thirty years old.
This commencement marks the end of
the third decade of its usefulness. Dur
ing this time it has grown from very
small beginning to splendid institu-
tion ranking with the very best. Its
power for good has been very great.
But even yet is unknown in many
parts of the State or at least not very
favorably known. Then why would
it not be an excellent plan to cele-
brate its both birthday with appro-
pirate exercises? The occasion could
be made a most notable one. A
grand reunion of alumni and old
students could be had and an i'm
mense crowd of visitors would I'M
doubtedly attend. Beside being a
source of a great deal of pleasure
to all participating, the festivities
would result in much favorable adj
vertising which would result in the
upbuilding of the school. SO both
sentiment and practical reasons
can be given for this move.
The time IS short and it may be too
short to arrange for anything of the
kind but 1t would certainly seem that if
the proper effort is made by the au-
thoritiei that the matter could be ar
ranged. The lively cooperation of
the town people is assured. Let the
faculty act at once.

and extra work outside Of the regular
curriculum are included in the qualities
OF first class teacher, then we must
say that the Granville school loses the
best teacher in the county in letting
Mrs. Horror leave.
Miss Addie Bonnifeld who spent the
winter in Granville, has returned to her
home near Flickersville.
We understand that the council has
ordered the removal OF the remaining
hitching racks in town and recommend
that blocks or weights be provided.
These blocks as commonly used are
too light and are very dangerous things
for this purpose.
II the rack ON the streets is unsightly
let the town set apart piece OF ground
and erect racks upon it, for unless the
town can offer few free accommoda-
tions to the people she will drive the
country people from her. When the cit
liens of your town come into the coun-
try the farmer treats you as we'll as he
can and never thinks about charging
you anything, and you must show him
little respect when he comes to your
town and not try to exact money for
every courtesy shown him. You can
gouge all the farmers part Of the time,
part Of them all the time, but you
can't gouge all the farmers all the time.

Sold Again.

Some Of our West Virginia ex-
changes are telling about Charles
Wilson, of Hampshire county, who
dehorned large drove of fine cattle
in order that they might not horn
each other. He also filled the re-
naming horn with strong wood ashes
in order that they might not get the
"hollow horn" A little later a
heavy rain turned the ashes to I've
and quite number of the flock have
since died from the effects. 1t is
just such cases as this that the hui
name agent is supposed to look after
and he should not pass it by unno-
ticed. The dehorning of cattle is
entirely too common and it isn't all
done in w. Va, either. There are
many good farmers who think there
is much good derived from the prac-
tice but for our part we think it de-
cidedly inhuman and that it should
be abolisheds-Genius Of Liberty.

More improvements Contemplated at
ScraffOrd.

The damage and delay resulting
from every rise in the river Is con
siderable and very unwelcome to the
people who are in charge of the
pump station. They have been con
sidering the matter for some time
and Superintendent Russell has
about decided to enclose the larger
buildings in strong water proof
wall. The material of which these
are to be constructed has not yet
been determined upon but may be
stone and cement The foundations
of them will be placed below the
foundations OF the buildings and the
walls themselves will be built high
enough to prevent any possible over
flow. How soon the work will be-
gin and other details in connection
with the scheme are as yet undecid-
ed. But some means will he taken
if possible to prevent any more de-
lays ON account Of floods.

will give one of the best shows seen
here this season in the shape Of the
Sporting Craze, musical farce come
dy, on which vehicle all sorts of fun
and humor are hung. This farce is
certainly one Of the seasons biggest
successes and is a sure cure for the
''blues." If you like to laugh, this
will be the show, as you must laugh
at it no matter what troubles you
have. In the company will be the
eyerybody's favorite, George II. Adams
the clown and comedian. Mr.. Adams
is known from one end of the country
to the other and his performance is
one of the hits of the show. In fact,
anything that Mr.. Adams does is sure
to be done well, and in the Sporting
Craze he is seen to better advantage
than ever before as his part fits him
like glove. Other clever comedians
and dancers who will assist Mr.. Adams
are Carlin & Clark, II. Messimer, # i.
Farley, John Boone, Alice Hanson,
the pleasing soubrette, Tonina Adams,
Cecil Iyerness, Lily Adams and others.
Plenty Of singing, dancing, special
ties and music 60 to make the Sport
ing Craze bright, clean and whole

please the most critical.

Closing Dance.

Saturday night marked the close
Of a series of dances being held atMu-
nicipal Hall. The occasion attract.
ed . very large crowd fully fifty
couples being present. The evening
was very enjoyable one and the
whole affair was an extremely cred
table one. Another series will be-
gin next Saturday evening. These
Saturday night dances have proven
very attractive and particularly SO
since those at the University have
suspended. This suspension was
made ON account of Lent and it is
expected that they will resume just
as soon as this period Of penitence
shall have ended.

to provide suitable hitching racks at

Another MonougaIian's Success.

March 10Th marked the close OF
the Ninety Seven" term of the Bal
timore College Of Dental Surgery
Among the graduates was A. l.
Boyers, of Randall, w. Va; whose
portrait appeared in the Baltimore
Sunday Herald on account Of his
having taken the prize which is an
nually offered by the college for
greatest proficiency in mechanical
dentistry. The faculty require the
work to be done in the presence of
a professor so that the successful
candidate always deserves his sue
cess. DR.. Boyers has just right to
feel proud of his noteworthy achieve
ment. Especially when the fact that
the graduating class contained six
ty-three, is taken into consideration.
DR.. Boyers has not decided where he
will locate for the practice Of his
profession. We predict for him a
successful career where ever he may
cast his lot, if energy, skill, and abil-
ity of the very highest type count
for anything, all of these Mr.. Boyers
possesses.

Helpful Talks on Every Day Topics.

The warden Of the Episcopal Hall,
Rev. James Sheerin, is constantly
reaching for something to instruct
and entertain the boys in his charge
as well as all others whswish to
avail themselves of the opportunities
afforded The Round Table Talks
last year proved of very great bene-
fit and engaged the close attention
of quite goodly number of the stu
dents. Now he is at work on plan
which. may prove of even greater
benefit than those already used
This is to have course of short
talks upon different subjects in
which most people are Interested
These talks are to be given by men
in the town and college who are best
equipped upon the different themes
to be presented. They are to be short
and to be followed by questions from
the auditors. The subjects dealt
with in the main will be those deal
ing with the several professions, the
way to success in them and the kind
of men needed in them. They will no
doubt be highly profitable and be at
tended by great many students.
They will be free and will take place
on each Saturday evening at the
Hall

Everybody Had a Good Time.

The strawberry festival was very
great success despite the fact that
there were no Strawberries availa-
BILE. The cold snap prevented these
delicacies from being shipped and it
was from no fault of the ladies that
they were not The sum of fifty-two
dollars was cleared on the venture
and it was a success financially.
Miss Sterling, of Palatine was pres
emit and recited several selections in
a very pleasing manner. She had
to respond to an enthusiastic encore.
Mrs. Hirschman added new laurels
to those already won by her as a
singer and completely captivated
her audience Misses Leila Gamer
on and Mary Hayes sang duet
which fully sustained their reputa
ton as splendid singers. Miss Mary
Mestrezat recited pretty little Sc
lection and was the recipient of
many well deserved compliments.
Taking the occasion as whole it is
doubtful whether the crowd could
have borne up under any greater
pleasure and probably the disap-
pointment in not getting strawber-
ries was for the best after all. The
ladies who had it in charge deserve
much credit for their excellent man
agement.

This is the Truth.

Fairmont is being invaded by
tramp and travelling stores, which
come here to sell goods by sample
and otherwise, greatly to the disad-
vantage of our home business people
who have thousands of dollars invest
ed in property in this town for the
express purpose of conducting a le-
gitimate business. Our home mer-
chants are able to meet COM
petition in their various lines in the
quality of the goods and prices. Per-
sons who patronize these transient
stores don't find out until they have
been worsted time or SO, that the
the home merchant is the friend and
neighbor. We think that our peo-
pie should patronize their home mer
chants, for in doing SO they are al
ways assured that what they buy
will be as represented, and they can
go back to their merchant if it
prove otherwise, with the state
ment of facts and receive their mon
ey back or that the matter be settled
fairly to both parties. We have be-
fore referred to this matter and we
trust that our council will provide
against this encroachment by adopt
ing an ordinance that will meet the
case. 1t should be done at once
Such laws exist in other towns. and
it should be so here.-Free Press.

A personal blind bigger approach {

A personal blind piggsr approach a
prominent Milton attorney the other day
with proposition which fairly shattered
the nerves of the aforesaid legal lumin-
airy. His proposition was as follows:
II propose to start a restaurant with a
blind pig attachment-ando of course the
pig will be the whole thing-at some
point in this county, have similar en-
terprises IN other counties and want to
get established here. I want you to
negotiate the deal with the states attor-
pey and other officers the same as I have
in other counties SO as to make it easy
for me when the enforcement league or
W. G. 7. Q. get troublesome. In other
counties abont 500 fixes the whole push
and l do not expect TO pay any more
here. When the limb of the law recover
ed sufficiently from the shock he said he
would require time to consider the pro-
position and make some investigation be-
fore taking hold of the case 1t is not to
be expected that the aforesaid booze
vender will be able TO establish the desir-
ed system of protection" for his peculiar
industry in this county.
