The public schools opened Mon
day after ten days vacation The
enrolment this year is much larger
than ever before and the character
Of the work being done is very salts
factory. Morgantown is very fortu-
nate in having such an excellent
system of schools and is ahead in
this respect of any other town in the
state.
+ The business manager of the an
nual published at the University
last year will shortly institute suits
to collect the amounts due on sub
scription and otherwise. Quite a
large stun remains unpaid and as he
has been threatened with suits by
the publishers he has been forced to
this course. 1t is understood that
if the outstanding accounts could be
collected the debt could be paid off
REAL estate agent, L. w. Ander-
con recently made several important
real estate sales. The first was the
lot on Peasants street and Long
Alley belonging to S. A Poster, sold
to Amanda and Annie Camp. They

it in the near future. He also sold
two lots on Beechurst belonging to
S.A. Posten to Frank Bannister. An
other sale consisted in selling the
stock in the store on Beechurst to
S. A. Poster.
A SURPRISING number of the retir-
ing sheriffs are showing surprising
ly strong Discrimination to "cough
up" One of them has been arrest
ed for embezzlement and suits are
now pending against nine others who
are behind with their accounts.
These facts make the business like
methods and capable management of
our sheriff, Silas w. Hare, stand out
with greater distinctness. We al
ways have the best of everything,
sheriffs not excepted.
Ir is to be hoped that we will be
even less trouble by fire this year
than last. Last year was singu-
larly fortunate one in this respect,
the only blazes being small ones and
easily gotten under control. The fire
brigade here is an excellent one and
one which would be credit to a
much larger town. AS they serve
practically without pay they deserve
great credit for their efficiency.
Their hearts are in the work conse-
quently a high degree of excellence
is attained.
The scrap over the postoffice, al
though the appointment is a long
way off, is getting very warm among
the local applicants. Several elo-
quent appeals have been sent to
Hon. A. G.Dayton by the a-hungered
but to them all he has replied that
it is in the hands of the local execu-
tive committee. The committee how
ever absolutely refuses TO act and
there you are. No matter how it
may be settled there is fun ahead for
somebody. Let the battle proceed. ;"
