THOUSANDS of dollars come here
every year because of the Universe
ty. Other thousands will come if
we have a Public school on plane
with it. There iss but one way to
have it. Let the voters take that
way.
MoRGANTowN is the best and
most favorably known of any small
town in the state. Her schools have
made her so. We must see to it
that no backward step is taken and

RUSSELL Huston has the first tan

town 1t is a beauty and has prov

population. Whilc,it is.geared higher
than most single wheels it is much
easier to run with two on it and
some very fast time is being made
with it.
IT is reported that Morgantown is
to have two circuses this month. FL
this be true the dull season will
not be so dull after all Two circus
es and meeting of the board of re-
gents ought to afford some little ex-
citement. The animals on exhibit
ton at each of these are said to be
very rare.

THE recent examinations for Pea.
body scholarships only attracted II
candidates. The majority of young
people recognize the fact that the
: West Virginia University is as good
as the best and that the advantages
offered here are as great as those given
anywhere. There are no hard exam
nations to pass before getting them
either.
ANOTHER hot wave is due here. We
are already enjoying the advance guard
of it and may as well prepare to swell
ter for the next few days. The tenn
perature in the west has already gone
over the 100 mark. The excessive
heat which characterized the July hot
spell nor its continued length are not
expected to mark the progress of this
torrid wave.
SEVERAL hundreds of Morgan
towns population came here on &C
count of our excellent schools They
are among the best of our citizens
and have contributed no little to
the building up of the town. Do
you appreciate their presence and
do you want still greater additions
from this source? Then help to get

WE are informed that the Goshen
Baptist Association will be held at
Albrightsville this year August oath,
25th and Goth. This is not the reg
ular time for holding it, and we can
not understand why they fixed on
these dates, as it comes the week of
the Teachers Institute here, which
will prevent most of our people from
attending the Association, as they
would like to do. No worse time
could have been fixed upon for the
Association, as many of the teachers
would like to attend, but will have
to be at the Institute that week.

The latest fad to engage the atten-
ton of the sporty young man is to
wear a small button Thermometer.
Several have been seen on the lapels
of travelling men but as yet none
have been obtained by the local
sports. The thermometers are very
small and register only the highe,
degrees of temperature. They are
quite neat but the utility of wearing

1t is bad enough to have to bear the
hot weather without wearing an in
strument whose only effect is to
make it seem hotter than it is.
DIR. GEORGE NJ. JosEPH was driy-
ing along Spruce street near Pleas
ants one afternoon recently when
his horse became frightened at
something and began to rear. In
one Of his plunges the horse became
ovcrbalanced and fell on his back
turning completely around with his
head toward the buggy. A greater
part Of his weight fell on one Of the
shafts which strange to say was not
broken. A crowd quickly collected
and soon cxtricated the animal from
his predicamcnt. The horse was not
injured in the least and the damage
done TO the harness was trIning It
was certainly most lucky accident.
