here Saturday morning.
A FLAG staff has been placed ovel

THE annual address at the West
Liberty Normal Sshool will BE deIiv-
cred by Professor Armstrong on June
l4th.
A MAN in Richie county saw the
airship last week and produces an
empty beer keg as evidence. This
+ will be readily accepted as unim-
peachable evidence that he at least
saw something remarkable.
LINCOLN county has another pest.
They have robbed over thirty of the
farmers of all their corn, wheat and
meat. 1t is the supposition that
they have an organized gang and
live in a cave, The sheriff is trying
his best to run them down, but so
far has been unsuccessful.
THE decision in the regents prize
essay contest has been announced.
Mr.. G. f. Jollif, of Wetzel county, a
member of the senior class was the
winner. The subject was the The
Problems Peculiar to American Mu
nicipal Government. We congratu-
late him on his success.
The ex-confederate soldiers have
abandoned their attempt to build a
home for their INDECENT comrades.
They have organized themselves in
to State Camp, with Col. Robert
White, of Wheeling, commander. It
was agreed to let each camp take
care of its own INDECENT soldiers.
A DISPATCH from Elkins says that
the grand jury failed to find an in
dictment against Rev. Mustoe, of
near Kerens, who, it was charged,
hired Christopher Tusing and 9TH
ers to burn his barn. Tusing stated
that he (Tusing) had also intended
to murder the Mustoe family and
burn the house. but was frightened
off by dogs
THERE has been quite good deal
of misunderstanding about the new
bicycle law. Lamps are not required
to be carried but bells are. The law
went into effect on the 26th and
it is a state law Bells must be car
ried at all times. Any ordinances
not in conflict with the state law
may be passed by the different towns
in the state.
AN item has been going the rounds
of the state press for the last month
about certain Col. Napoleon Bona
parte French who was candidate for
governor of the state on the
| greenback ticket in 1858. AS Meth
er the state nor the greenback party
existed at that time the Colonel
must have been somewhat extraor-
mary parsonage.
The Baptists will open a chu rich
hall next fall under Rev. J. L. Nc
Cutcheon. About twenty young men
will be taken. This is the second
denomination to found such an in
stitution here, the Episcopalians
having successfully conducted hall
for two years. Others are expected
to follow the lead shortly. They will
aid the progress of the school won
derfully and disprove the unjust as
sertion, that this is Goddess insti-
tuition.
The publishers of the Avoca, Iowa
Herald recently sued delinquent
subscriber and recovered Judgment
for seven years subscription with
costs amounting to 1924. The paper
had been ordered stopped and had
been returned from the postof1ice as
refused, but the subscriber had not
paid arrearages and his name was
continued on the books and the pa
per mailed to his address. The de-
eision of the court was that sub
scriber could be held for subscrip-
ton until all arrearages were paid.
A TRAVELLING sign painter has
been in town in the past few days
and a large number of business men
have had him to paint signs for
them. He is very clever artist and
his work is excellent but the query
arises, why not allow our home tai
ent to do these jobs. There are sew
eral fine sign painters in town; men
who live here, whose interests are
identified with the town and who
spend their money with these bust
ness men who patronized astranger.
Some of these men would be the
first to advocate the policy of al
ways supporting home institutions.
1t may be said to the credit of sew
eral men that when approached they
informed the painter that whenever
they had any work to do Morgan
town man should do it.
