C. White. The house when com
pleted will be occupied by Mr.. F. B.
Bannister.
The discovery is being made that
it is no longer exactly good form to
get bowling drunk on the streets
and that fashionable people headed
by the mayor have decided to frown
severely on this former popular fad
w. S. BAKER has received the con
tract and will begin work at once on

town down the way.
WEST VIRGINIA heads the list in
the number of fourth class postmas-
ters who have been fired to make
room for hungry patriots. The state
congressman evidently don't give
the civil service plank quite as 10y al

would seem to prophesy.

THERE are II graduates in the va
rious department of the University
this year. Forty-nine of these are in
the law class and twenty-five in the
other departments. Five of the aca-
demic graduates are young ladies.

ted in every respect and is composed
of excellent material.
THE essays for the regents prize
were submitted Monday. Not as
many competitors as usual entered
the lists this year. The subject is
one in which every citizen should
take most lively interest and deals
with the problems of American gov
eminent. The sol utions offered will
be aw aited with interest.
The quantity of garden truck
coming in every day would surprise
the average citizen were he to see
it, The quality of much of it would
also surprise him if he knew 1t. The
prices are still high but are much
lower than few weeks ago. The
demand is very good and as the
prices come down may be expected
to increase.
OCTOBER 20 has been set apart as
West Virginia day at the Tennessee
Centennial at Nashville. This ex-
position is second only to thew Worlds
Fair held at Chicago and is attract
ing thousands of visitors. 1t is ex-
pected that many West Virginians
will be present on their day as it
will be at the most pleasant time OF
the year.
THERE is but one week longer of
recitations at the University and then
comes examinations. The exams
held at this season of the year do
usually cover as much ground as
the others but owing to the warmth
of the weather the exertion of pass
ing them is most painful one.
Things are rapidly getting in shape
for the closing exercises.
THE boom is still booming. There
are more houses in course of construc-
tion in Morgantown than ever before.
This is a very gratifying fact and
speaks volumes for the steady growth
Of the town. The demand for men
in all the building trades is unprece-
denied and is attracting many arti-
sans from neighboring towns where
the conditions are not so favorable.
THE b. & o. schedule was changed
Sunday. No additional trains were
put on, the request for the extension
of the run of the Uniontown evening
accommodation to Fairmont being de-

utterly inadequate to support it and
the officials did not grant the petition.
The changes in time were few and
only in one case of any Importance.
The morning train which formerly ar
rived at 9:46 now comes in at $50.
The 5:25 evening train was changed
to 500. The other trains runs 11:45

EVERYBODY should decorate on
Memorial Day. The occasion is one
of deep significance and its import
ance should be impressed on the
younger people in every way possible.
No means will be so efficient as most
liberal display Of the colors of our uni.
ted country and nothing will SO in
culcate the lessons of patriotism as
this mute testimony to the loving re-
membrance in which the heroes Of the
time which tried mems souls are held
by their countrymen. Let the motto
be decorate, decorate, decorate.
In the Former pool in Greene county
No. 2 Fonner is expected to get the
sand shortly. Since the first well was
drilled in the property has changed
hands, and the price paid for it was
in part based on the size and staying
qualities of the first well and the prob
ability Of developing pool Of nc
small dimensions. While there arr
no interests involved In the extension
of the pool, unless 1t reaches far Out
and touches territory not included IL
the purchase, there have been SO many
opinions expressed relative to thu
price paid that 1t will be subject Of
gossip to watch developments. AL
