The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1897-07-03

| suited in wholesale removals. Much
bitterness had been engendered and
the university had received much I'M
| favorable advertising. a large falling
| off in attendance was confidently ex-
pected. In the face of these discour-
aging conditions DIR. Reynolds took
hold of the work. He performed the
duties now done by the president, the
private secretary, the travelling agent,
himself and Prof. r. e. Fast. So well
did he perform these duties that not
only was there no decrease, but large
increase. This increase has kept up,
thanks to the splendid ideas first put
into operation by DR.. Reynolds.
During his incumbency there was
no friction in the faculty nor with the
students. Discipline never was better
and the knock down and drag out
methods were not used. The faculty,
students and town people respected
DR.. Reynolds as a scholar, a gentle
man and as the right man in the right
place.
A GENERAL invitation is extended
to all the Sunday Schools in Cass
District to be present at the Con
vcntion to be held at Bethel, July 3,
1897. L. N. DOMAIN, Pres.
J. j. WHARTON and Rev. Ross
Ward have sacrificed their whiskers
and it is hard to decide which would
take the BOBBY prize in a beauty
show if they both should enter.
Mr.. F. B. BANNlsTER has bought
the North side of the splendid lot in
which is the residence of the Misses
Hough and will at once erect upon
it handsome residence. This is a
splendid site for home and is in a
very desirable part Of the town.

Capt. j. r. Miller is back from
foil City, Pa, where he attended the
annual shoot of the Pennsylvania
state sportsmen's association last
week. He did not enter many of
the events but as usual acquitted
himself very creditably in all the
races entered. Crack shots from all
over the country competed and the
occasion was a most notable one.
THE report of the assessor for the
Morgantown independent district is
finished, being completed yesterday.
The school board will at once canvass
it, find out just how everything stands
and order a special election. This
must be. held within thirty days of the
time in which the report is received.
So within few days we shall be in
the midst of another election contest.
WHILE we will have no organized
celebration at home on the fourth it
is confidently expected that the us
ual number of small boys will sue
coed in denuding themselves of eye
brows by means Of fire crackers.
Simply because it is not down ON the
bills is not reason enough to keep
young America from disfgufing
himself.
The board of education of the
Morgantown independent district
will meet next Monday. While they
are not compelled to do so it is their
intention to elect the corps of teach
ers for next year at this meeting.
The changes if any which may be
made will be of minor Importance.
The teachers as general rule give
entire satisfaction and of course will
be continued.
Guy WILEY was the victim of
curious accident one day last week,
In company with the government en-
gineers he was sounding the river at
various places. The instrument used
for this purpose was heavy steel
drill. On withdrawing it after max
ing sounding Guy was seized with
what is known as crick in the back
and was unable to straighten up.
He suffered considerable pain and it
was some time before he was able to
get back straight again. He was
removed to his home and soon re-
covered from the accident
IT develops that everything about
the Fairmont celebration Saturday is
not as smooth as it might be- There
will be two celebrations. The local
patriotism of some of the people up
there is to be given credit for this act.
The manager of the big time hired
the Uniontown band to come up. This
made some persons very angry, as
they thought the band there should
have been engaged. So a rival cele-
bration has been organized. The Odd
Fellows and the various temperance
societies will give big picnic at the
fair grounds. Between them the two
celebrations are expected to draw an
immense crowd.
SINCE the Franklin has been re-
built and in fact for number of
years its excellence has drawn a
large number of guests. So great
has the volume of business grown
that it is intinded to build large
addition to this hostelry. This will
include about thirty bedrooms and
will make the hotel very large one.
The addition will hardly be made be-
fore fall as building operations would
interfere too much with the comfort
of the summer visitors. Morgantown
is proud of her splendid hotels and
the Franklin is doing it's share to
maintain their reputation for every
thing which makes hotels desirable.
