wait on them.

BORN, to Mr.. and Mrs. W. E.
Glasscock, on January 26, son.
AT meeting of the stockholders of
the Equitable Fire Insurance Com
pany held last week in Wheeling DR..
l. @. White, w. G. Brown, Jr., and
Ex-Governor A. b. Fleming were
among the gentlemen chosen as direc-
tors,
SEVERAL narrow escapes from
drowning in the river occurred last
week caused by the ice being thin in
places but these have had no effect on
the average small boy. The pearly
gates cut no figure with him when
there's skating to be done.
MANY of our readers will remem-
Der the Moss Family when they were
here some twelve years ago. Since
then they have reached the topmost
round on the ladder of fame. Man
ager Somehow has secured them
for the Opera House for Thursday,
Feb. IL.
Tue Brownsville correspondent of
the News-Standard says that the Guy
brothers were each presented with a
handsome cane made Of wood from
James G.. Blaine's birthplace on their
recent visit to that town. They make
friends wherever they go by their quiet
gentlemanly behavior.
THE inaugural comm .tee has Civ
, en out that they expect from 10000
to 10000 visitors to the ceremonies
incident to that occasion. The 9TH
er 10000 Republicans in the state
either have an office or have applied
by letter. Truly the pie counter
has it's attractions.
THE West Virginia Exposition
and State Fair Company is already
revising its premium list and ar
ranging program of special attrac-
tions. The list of premiums will be
ready in the spring and a copy will
be sent to persons interested by Mr.
George Hook, the secretary, when re-
quested.
EDGAR STEWART Is faring extreme
ly well at the hands of the legislature,
being appointed as one of the COM
mittee clerks for which he receives
the pittance of four dollars per day.
We congratulate him on the get there
abilities displayed by him aud con
graduate the committee on having
secured the services of such a compe-
tent person.
tAIRMoNT's ministers raised an
other howl last week over too liber-
al display Of women in tights on
show bills but this effort failed as
the first one It's naughty to shock
the dear old women in that manner.
A liberal donation of second hand
trousers would aid materially in the
crusade against this crying iniqui-
ty.
ALTHOUGH the recent cold snap
froze the creek to great depth the
ice was was not fit to be put up, as
it was too badly gorged and broken
up. The ice on the river however in
places was very fine being about six
inches thick and of excellent quail
ty. We will not have any need to
suffer from the heat next summer if
plenty of good ice can prevent it.
The ice men have made good the
opportunity given them and some
excellent ice has been put up. John
Hunt has filled his house down on
the river and Sam Thompson filled
one on the West Side. The houses
on the creek have all been filled, the
men working on Sunday in order to
get it up. On the whole the pros
pect for keeping cool next summer
seems to be very refreshing one.
SHOULD the plan of having some
noted man speak at commencement
be adopted it is very likely that II on
J.PDolliver, of Iowa, will most proba-
bly, be the star attraction. He needs
no introduction to "a Morgantown
audience and should matters be sat
isfactorily arranged there will be an
immense crowd out to hear him. We
sincerely hope that the proposition
may be passed upon favorably by
the faculty.
MY SON, follow not suit in the steps
Of the loafer, and make no example
OF him who is born tired, for verify /
say unto you, their business is over
stocked, the seats on the corners are
all taken and whiting places all oc-
cupied. 1t is better to saw wood at
two bits cord than to white in a
loafing match and cuss the govern
ment. My son, while thou has left
in thy skull the sense Of a jay-bird,
break away from. the cigarette habit,
for 10! thy breath stinketh like glue
factory and thy whole appearance is
less intelligent than a store dummy.
Yea, thou art cipher with the rim
knocked off.
A FOOL tried to commit suicide in
Chicago few days ago by jumping
into the river and taking the Lake
Shore route for eternity. A policeman
happened along, who could not swim
and saw the would-be suicide founder
ing around in the cruel waves and at
the point of revolver commanded the
candidate for the Golden Shore 10 de-
slst and come out on dry land or he
would perforate his carcass with bull
let's. He yelled TO the policeman not
to shoot---he was coming out. Ac-
cordingly he waltzcd out and was ia
ken In charge by the minion Of the
Iw. If Chicago keeps up its pace 1t
will soon be as great town as Nor.
