For several days last week the
dust nuisance was almost intolera
Bile. There seems no way to remedy
it however and the best must be
made of the circumstances.
THE lawns about town are looking
very well, the majority of them hav
ing been neatly trimmed. Nothing
adds so much TO the appearance of a
town as well kept lawns and nothing
detracts so much from its appearance
as poorly kept ones.

WHENEVER time hangs heavy on

spondents hands they extend the

The mayor is determined to have
clean town and in this laudable in.
tention he is backed by every good
citizen. The health OF the town de-
ponds on it's cleanliness and per-
son who makes filth is as dangerous
as mad dog. The offenders should
be watched for and when caught
given a salty dose.
WEST VIRGINIA can lay claim to
having one of the very youngest
couples that ever eloped. They are
Willie Butler and Susie Boyd, the
former of the patriarchal age of II
and the latter of s long summers.
They eloped in Jefferson county and
are now said to be keeping house to-
gether in an unoccupied shanty in the
woods
ABOUT the meanest trick played on
anybody lately was the one perpetra.
ted on Tim Bennett. Some unfeel-
ing wretch slipped up behind him
with a bicycle bell and suddenly gave
tremendous wrench. Tim thought
that the next instant scorcher
would would be climbing his frame
and the high jump he gave could only
be equalled by the fellow who sits
down unexpectedly on an enthusiastic
hornets nest.
THE board of regents will be de-
luged with applications for positions
many of which are already so accept
ably filed. These applications come
from all over the United States. One
of them comes from Kansas. The ap-
| plicant Is President Fairfield, of Kan
sas University, who has had seven
teen years successful experience, has
powerful backing and promises to
make things interesting The board
is composed of conservative able men
who are expected to move only in the
best interests of the institution. The
changes will be few in number and no
radical change in policy need be ex-
pected.
AUDITOR LAFoLLETTE is having a
great deal of trouble in explaining to
the people of the State who have
claims against the State government
why their claims are not paid prompt
ly. The Auditor is kept busy answer
ing these numerous inquiries. The
fact is, all unpaid claims made prior
to October /, 1896, are to be paid out
of the money appropriated by the de-
ficiency appropriation bill, passed by
the Legislature at the last session.
The ninety days will have expired on
the 9th Of this month, when claims
prior to last October will be ipaid, or
as soon thereafter as they are audited. :,
The sum of $l34, 900 was appropriated
to pay for criminal charges, including
the expense of keeping lunatics in
Jail. None of this amount can be
paid out before the 9th inst.
PROF. l.. G.. CoRBETT has returned
fiom Hancock county where he went
to investigate the ravages of the APP
pie scab. The apple crop is the most
important crop raised in that coun-
ty hundreds Of thousands of barrels
being raised every year and any
thing which threatens it strikes at
the very foundation of the country's
prosperity. When the scab was
first noticed Prof. Corbett was sent
Tor and as the case was an important
one he went at once. The remedy
to be applied for this pest is what is
known as the Bordeaux mixture.
The farmers reported that they had
been applying this but without sue
cess. Prof. Corbett found out that
they had not been mixing the prep
aration properly and had not sprayed
the affected trees properly. A large
number of fruit growers were visited
and the process was duly explained
to them. No further fear need be
entertained as to any damage from
this source as the remedy given
is invariably effective.
