onc of the Latest Toilet Accessories Is
 For Care of tho Feet.

NOA NtSS ol tttc Hecte
 The latest addition to the smart wom- ans belongings is her foot box. This, like the perfect manicure case, is of American oontrivance, and is one of tho gifts brides of this season usually re. ceive from their mothers, To all an- pearances the foot box is much like a large English dispatch box, only made of leather, and most elegant affair where the brides mother is rich and in- dulgent. It's stout trunk shaped franc on the outside is mounted in polished yellow pigskin, bearing silver initial disk on the lid silver hinges, locks and re-enfercements about tho corners.
 Within the lining is done in fine quality of brown French kid, and 6 woman not initiated in the revived art of caring for her feet would be puzzled at first to know just what to do with the amazing array of dainty articles disclosed to view. Looking to the fine well being of the foot is custom re- vived from tho time of sandaled Greeks and Romans.
 They rightly required that these ex- tTemltles should be not only correct in shape and without oorns or big joints, but plump, white, with rosy soles, gleaming nails, and altogether as invit- ing members to touch and show as are the best kept hands. Since the rational round toed shoes and flat heels have come into fashion again the foot is to get it's ancient due of attention, and she who owns foot box puts it's contents to use once or twice every day.
 Inside the lid she finds, slipped under straps, an ivory horn, a couple of big hooks and little one, to button fragile evening slippers with, and then the in- terior body of the box is divided up into q sories of trays. Everything her feet or shoes could need are contained here. First, complete set of ebony backed brushes for removing dust, putting on lacquer and blaeking polish. and some of them in the form of flannel or cham ois covered finishers.
 Into appropriate hooks fit series of glass boxes, to hold tho various pomades for treating French kid, calfskin and fine Russia leather slippers, and these are accompanied by row of silver top ped crystal bottles, full of liquid dress.

first Talk a Success.

Judge johnson inaugurated the
series of Saturday night talks at the
Episcopal Hall, Saturday night
There was quite large attendance
and the Judges remarks were listen
ed to with great attention. He
discussed the Law, the profession it
self, the kind of men needed in it
and the way to win success in it.
His talk was full of helpful hints
not only to those who look forward
to the law as their chosen profession
but to all young men. AT the con-
clusion general informal discussion
ensued and questions suggested by
the talk were answered. The next
talk will be given next Saturday
evening by DIR. Hartigan on medicine
and very interesting and instruc-
tive lecture is expected. The public
generally is invited.

A Preston County Young Mans Exper-
fence in Grafton.

fence I'm Grafton.
The Kingwood Argus gives the fol-
lowing account of how young man
of that county lost SIS in Grafton:
If the story told by Walker Pell, a
son of NJ. f. Pell, of Pleasant Dale,
is true, they have some bold banditti
in the town of Grafton. The young
man has been working up ON thew. Va.
Central Railroad this winter and
came home last Saturday. While
waiting in Grafton for a train, he re-
lates that he walked out on the rail-
road bridge to look at the river and
had been there but few minutes
when certain policeman came along
and arrested him for being on the
bridge. Pell tried to explain TO him
that he was a stranger and knew
nothing of any regulations about be-
ing on the bridge and was waiting for
a train to get away on. The police
man told him that the fine was Sl5
and II he would pay him he would let
him off. The boy demanded to be
taken before the Mayor or some one
for trial and the policeman started
with him, but told him it would cost
him 81 extra If he went before the
Mayor, and he would probably be sent
to jail, ETC., and finally drew his club
on the boy and frightened him into
paying him the SIS. He was then
released and got out Of town as soon
as possible for fear Of another hold
up and losing his watch and what
money he had left. AS a matter OF
course the policeman put that money
down in his jeans and never said a
word about it, The young mans
father was in town Monday and EN-
ployed an attorney to go to Grafton
and look the matter up. Can Grafton
afford to have this kind of men on the
police force?

Mr.. wilson Like Jefferson.

Referring to the statement of
Hon. William L. Wilson to friends
in Charles Town, W. Va, that he
'retires from public life as poor as
when he entered it," the Raleigh { N.
c. News and Observer says: an
an age when few public men of Mr..
Wilson's distinction remain poor, it
is crown of honor to him that he
has had an eye single to the welfare
OF his people, giving no heed to the
temptations that caused so many to
neglect their public duty to add to
their private fortunes.
''Mr. Wilson's statement reads
like the old times, when such men
as Jefferson, Randolph and Monroe
were the representatives of the peo-
pie. He leaves the public service to
become an instructor Of the youth.
His pure life, his unsullied integri-
ty, his devotion to truth, as he sees
the truth, make him not only fit in
structor of the youth, but his life
will be as well an object-lesson for
their emulation

Clean this Place Up.

In cleaning up the streets and CIV
ing Morgantown the advantage of
looking her best, the authorities are
doing something worth dollars and dol
lars to the town. Many of the old
and disreputable hooks and crannies
have been thoroughly cleaned up. But
in their good work they have over
locked the very worst looking eye sore
in town. This is the vacant lot on
the corner of Peasants and Chestnut
streets. 1t is piled full of trash of
every description which should be re-
moved at once. This place is seen by
every stranger who enters the town
and as much depends on first impress
sions very long time is usually re-
quired to eliminate the consequent
unfavorable impression. A look at
the place referred to is all that will be
required to start cleaning up on it.
When it is gone but very few, trifihg
places remain to engage the attention
of the street cleaning department.

M0rgantown Savings and Loan Society
Open for Business.

Saturday night another building
and loan society opened for business
in Morgantown. While the plan had
been under discussion for some time
no special effort was maoe to get a
large subscription at the start.
Hence the taking of 400 shares Of
stock is very gratifying thing to
the promoters, As stock can be
taken at any time and there was no
particular advantage arising from
being in at the start, still many
more shares of stock will undoubted-
ly be taken. The matter has been
in shape for final organization for
some little time and the meeting
which was held in Hon. John J.
Browns Office Saturday night was to
elect officers and choose a board Of
directors.
The officers elected are: DR.. L.

Johnson,s Mill Burned.

Last Wednesday morning the
Touring mill belonging to Charles
johnson, near Dellslow, went the
defective fue route with great sue
cess. The fire caught from the fue
leading from the engine and the loss
is about 81 800 with no Insurance.
The blaze was discovered ..pout nine
o'clock, in the roof and as the means
of fighting it were limited to the
bucket brigade it steadily gained
headway In a very short
space of time the entire building was
a mass of flames and so fiercely did
it burn that but a very small quantity
of grain was saved. Quite large
amount was burned in the mill,
about 800 bushels being burned.
This belonged to Mr.. johnson, his
son and to Mr.. William Kennedy.
Adjoining the mill were stable and a
blacksmith shop both of which were
totally destroyed along with the
mill. 1t is the intention to rebuild
sometime between now and fall. We
are very sorry to learn of this mis-
fortune OF Mr. Johnson's and hope
that the consequent embarrassment
will prove only temporary.
