tie thing like that when their custo-
mers can reap the benefit. They are
the celebrated United Brand Shirts.

thority that the scheme to have locks
and dams for the West Fork is in ev-

needed improvement. Telegram.

The last legislature made it more
difficult to gain admission to the
Bar in this State. Persons desiring
to practice law will have to pass an
examination before the law faculty
of the University at Morgantown.
This has been criticised by some of
the papers of the State, but to our
mind it was one of the best things
the last body of law makers did.
The admission to the bar had be-
come too easy in this State, and as
the result there are young men in
nearly every county attempting to
practice law who are entirely UMPIRE
pared for that business, and they
are doomed to drag along through
life without being able to gain de-
cent living or to even reach medioc-
rity in their profession. Let admis-
sion be made more difficult so that
only those best equipped will start
upon the practice of profession,
which in these later days, does not
offer dattering inducements except
to the best and the brainiest.-In-
