The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1897-12-15


Parkersburs, has accepted a call to
Christ's Episcopal church, at Wells
burg.
WHAT TO give is an important
question just now. Why not solve
it by deciding to send this paper to
some one for year No better or
more appropriate gift can be found.
THE ministers of Huntington,
Guyandotte, Central City and Ccredo
have formed library association and
are collecting special library Of
works useful TO members Of their
calling.
THOMAS b. ALLEN, OF Pennington,
w. Va, is 106 years old. He was
born in England and fought under
Napoleon, having been IN three wars
altogether. He is a very interesting
old man.
FIGHTING Tom" Cooper has been
indicted four times, twice for felony
for his Baldwin township escapades
but that does not stop the Consta-
bles from jawing over which of them
was the drawer when they arrested
him.
AN epidemic Of scabies, commonly
known as the itch, has temporarily
knocked out the compulsory school
law over In Preston county. The
schools of Valley district have btea
closer for at least week in order to
give the disease chance to abate.
THE Elkins people have decided
not to reopen the contest over the
county seat of Randolph just at
present. The county court has de
cided that they did not want to
build new court house, any way,
and the matter will not likely come
up again until the court again
changes its mind.
|. The University notes issued by Mr..
Barbe and printed at this Office are
used by more than one hundred and
fifty papers in the state and nearby.
The resultant good to the school is
incalculable. THE New DOMINION
suggested the scheme last spring in an
article calling attention to the adj
vantage to be gained by such plan.
A TUCKER county man discovered
a wire stretched along on high poles
by the roadside, and never having
seen or heard Of telephone line, he
could not make out what it was put
there for but remembered that he
needed a Clothes line at his home,
and so he climbed up, cut off about
200 feet of the wire and took at along
with him.
THE Grafton Town Council re-
Gently passed an order that all of the
city policemen should carry maces, AS
sign of their authority and a great
improvement to their appearance.
But trouble followed this order for
four policeman are on duty during
the day and they only had three
maces At the last meeting of the
council the order was rescinded.
The recent publications of the ex-
pertinent station have been of more
than usual interest, and have rendered
valuable help to the orchardists and
farmers of the state. In one locality
where one eounty's report of apples
reached more than one hundred
thousand dollars there is keen appre-
citation of the right way of raising
and handling fruit.--Charlesfon Ga
zette.
j. W. BISHOP, of MAJ tinsburg, who
was one of the most successful bust
ness men of that place committed
suicide Sunday by shooting himself.
Nervous prostration was the cause of
the deed being committed. He was
a native OF Kingwood and leaves a
widow and three children to mourn
his loss. He was probably the
wealthiest man in the city.
FAIRMoNr is to have daily to be-
gin in the spring. Such thing has
been badly needed up there for
some time and it is gratifying to
learn that at last it is a sure go.
The field is good one and will be
well covered by the proposed daily
as it will be published by the Index.
That is sufficient guarantee that it
will be a cracker-iack Iuck TO the
venture.
