Of Gen. r. Z. Lees surrender
IF the peach blossom escaped it's
old foe, late frost, it was not more
than by a neck.

The West Virginia Woman's suf-
frage association now has over fif-
teen hundred members.
MoRGANTowN is growing steadily
and the signs of her great prospect
ty can be seen on every side.
The price of whiskey raising Just
as the fishing season is almost here
is in the nature of national calam-
ity.
THIRTY new students are enrolled
this term at the University. 1t may
be again observed that this breaks all
records.
SOME one around town evidently
wants the curfew Judging from the
number of ours which have been pois-
oned recently.
FAIRMoNT is to have another lot
sale on the 18th of this month. 1t
will take place in what is known as
the Hamilton addition.
But five licenses to sell liquor, be-
sides those granted to druggists, were
issued at the recent meeting OF the
town council at Fairmont.
The foundation for the new court
house at Fairmont has been bid on.
The lowest bid was $4,000. Lind

mayor.
Mrs. K. +. NARET has moved into
her new house on North Main street

that portion of town.
GEO. w. ATKINSON and staff will
go to New York to participate in the
ceremonies at the unwilling of the
Grant monument. They will make
the trip in the private car of Presi-
dent Cowan of the B. d 0.
The Tennessee building and loan
society has announced that it is
again on its feet This leads us to
remark that the Morgantown build
ing and loan societies never are any
other way. Home talent in this
case has been unquestionably prov
en- the very best.
THE notorious "Cap" Hatfield is
now ON trial for murder in Mingo
county. Heis expected to be cleared
and from the development during
the trial he will likely take the war
path Immediately after being set at
liberty.
In several neighboring towns the
police have become vigilant in ar
resting puppies who make habit
of insulting ladies ON the street. A
little of the same would prove valua-
BILE in Morgantown. There are cases
every day.
IT is now rumored that Hon. N.
B. Scott will have to wait until the
man who holds the position he wants
gets something else. The man in
question is WIS. Forman, of Illinois, a
gold Democrat, and Mckinley in
tends giving him another office I'm
til that is done Scott is to wait.
CARDS are out announcing the mar
riage of Miss Bessie L. Nuzum to Mr..

place. He was coach Of the foot ball
team during the season of '95, and is
consequently quite well known here.
The Novelty Company under the
management of Mr.. j. S. linn has
steadily prospered from the start,
and will enlarge at once Mr.. Zinn's
brother has moved to Morgantown

which are already here. The care
to business and the general effort to
accommodate have made them popu-
lar.
| IT is now asserted that the much
talked of Nevada prizes fight pic
lures are total failures due to some
error in preparing the plates or tax
ing them. If this is true they will
of course not be shown in Morgan
town. The promoters of the scheme
saw millions in it for themselves and
had they not met with this bad luck
would undoubtedly have realized
their expectations.
| SwINDLERs are always on the alert
for new schemes to separate the pub
| lie and their dollars. The latest t.
be tried has been quite successful
A man comes along and offers to sci
} so many bars of soap for dollar ant
gives as premium china dishes
He carries the soap and gets the
cash for it. The dish wagon will
he says, be along in day or so
But it never comes.
The Iron Age in a recent number
expressed the opinion sooften giver
by this paper, that the Monongahe
la would soon become the manufact
uring center of the world. 1t CAV,
very much the same reasons as We
have given. This fact is becoming
more generally known and the wide
/ it circulates the sooner will tn,
wished for results arrive. And Nor
, gantown is most favorably situated
when it does come.
