Preston County Jus tice.

Preston County the other day sent
two men to the penitentiary. One of
them had stolen a $500 diamond and
denied it. A costly trial convicted
him. The other had stolen an IS.
suit of clothes. He confessed and
saved the county the expense of IA
trial.
The diamond thief was sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary while
the other thief received for his hor-
rible crime three years in the same
institution. 1t is such things as this
that cause people to have contempt
for courts and for law. Where the
justice of the thing comes in is only
plain to denizen of that county who
has "liyed under the shadow of the
festive buckwheat or engaged in the
harvesting of ginseng" Those who
live under the shadow of the Univer-
rity cannot understand it.

Negro Concert.

One OF the best entertainments ever
given in this town is that of the New

all genuine negroes and give the old

seldom heard nowadays. 1t makes

fundo of this troup is "a full blooded
negro about six feet six and no other
such a base voice was ever heard.

A Long Range View.

The Hustlers went to Morgantown
Saturday and returned yesterday
They were defeated by Ed Shelby
and the w. V. Z. team by a score of
II to s. The cause of the defea' is
the poor support given Frazee. They
had nine errors behind him. which
is enough to drive any pitcher to
desperate deeds and would cause
Frank Killen of the Pittsburgs to
throw himself into the Allegheny
river. Ache caught beautiful
game for the Hustlers. Whaley met
with an accident in the sixth in col
liding with McWhorter. He was
unable to finish the game and carries
a stiff neck yet as the result. The
