AN enterprising young lady an
nounces that ice cream will stop
hiccoughs and the impecunious
young man has another woe added
to the catalogue.
A TYPE writer which can be carried
in the vest pocket is recent inven-
ton. This innovation will not be re-
ceived with open arms like the one
which can sit upon the lap.
THE camp meeting announced for
last Sunday at Georgetown will not
take place until next Sunday when it
is a sure go. A large crowd will un-
doubleday attend the meeting.
NOTHING speaks so well for com
munity as good schools. Morgan
town always has had them and we
cannot afford to allow her to go
back upon her record at this period
in her history.
IT is said that the "Gold Brick" is
being overworked in the rural dis
tricts. Since the Klondyke epidemic
has become so wide spread it is said
to be comparatively easy to turn the
trick now days.

A NUMBER of small fruit trees over
the county are dying from the effects
of the visitation of the 17-year To-
Gusts. The insects bored the trees in
order to provide places for depositing
their eggs and in consequence many
farmers are losing their young orch
ards.
TAKE things coolly. The old heavy
suit won't do for this weather. The
wearing of it means being overhead
ed and general discomfort. We have
studied your needs for cool, comfort
able and breezy coats and vests and
crash suits. "A big line of them at
little prices. HIRscHMANs.
Our Of ll9 certificates issued to
school, teachers in Marion county af-
ter the recent examination but Is
bear the mark of mo. L." The Free
Press very pertinently asks, Is not
this a very poor showing for so large
an army of people who are supposed
to be the brightest in the county2
FAIRMoNT and Uniontown cannot
get enough of each others company
it would seem and are going to have
another ball game tomorrow. 1t
will be played at Fairmont and will
be the fourth of the series two of
which have already been won by the
up river boys. Several people will
likely go up from here to see the
game
Gov. ATKINSON probably rejuvena-
ted by his recent wedding has been
exercising the pardoning power to
quite large degree. Six convicts
were pardoned in one day. This may
be all right and we don't know but
what it is but the criticisms passed
on democratic governors for a less ex-
ercise of this prerogative were quite
violent. A rehash of them in the
same republican papers would make
interesting reading just now.
QUITE number of the younger
set picniced at Raven Rocks, near
Ellington on Friday. The time had
was a fine large one and the occa-
sion passed off without the usual
picnic accompaniment of rain.
Among those participating were,
Messrs. James Moreland and John
Harvey and Miss Nellie Moreland,
Miss McClusky, Miss Julia McGrew
Miss Hunter, Miss Rinehart and
Miss Marie Harvey.
THE eclipse last Thursday brought
out the amateur astronomer in great
numbers. Everybody had pieces of
smoked glass and was gazing intently
at old Sol. The eclipse here was only
n 70 Of hn;
obscured at the point of its greatest
observation. The light clouds with
which the sky was overcast interfered
somewhat with the observations but
they soon passed away. The eclipse
was generally observed all over the
country but was void Of Sly important
scientific Importance. The next one
to be visible here occurs May 81, 1900.
w. w. ScorT and 4. M. Showalter
both of Fairmont have received a
couple of nice juicy plums. Mr..
Scott is special attorney for the De-
partment of Justice of West Virgin
ia for the United States. The work
will occupy one-half of his time and
his headquarters will be at Fair
mont. Mr.. Showalter was appoint
ed Deputy District Attorney for
West Virginia. He has been hard
party worker and well deserves the
appointment from a party stand
point. Besides this the appointment
is worthily bestowed and the duties
of the position will be discharged in
an acceptable manner.
SEVERAL young men about town
are talking of making the trip to the
new Alaskan gold fields. The best
advice to give them under the circum-
stances Is that given by Josh Billings
to couple about to be married
"Don't." The summer is nearly over
and in winter the mean temperature
up there is 30 degrees below zero. This
is even meaner than we have to put
up with in Morgantown. Wait until
next spring when more will be known
about the region and when 1t will be
better to start. That will give your
ardor time to cool. But IL the desire
is as strong then as 1t is now why 20
and do the best you can. But rem en-
