HARRISON county promises to send
several candidates here in August for
for examination before the law facul-
ty for admission to the bar. The
whole number to be examined is ex-
pected to be quite large this time al
though as it is the first examination
to be held the number to take it will
not be as large as that coming for the
succeeding ones. Thus another source
of revenue has been given to Morgan
town and in course of a years time it
will prove to be no inconsiderable
one.
A YOUNG man who had imbibed
too freely of oil of joy had a narrow
escape from serious injury Sunday
morning near the Episcopal Hall.
Together with companion who was
driving he was coming up Wiley
street in buggy. On making q
sharp turn into Spruce street he fell
over board and lay as if stunned.
Several persons witnessed the mis-
hap and ran up to see what injury
had been sustained. The driver was
at first oblivious of the fact that he
had lost his partner and drove down
to Frank Cox's residence before he
discovered what had occurred. The
down fallen was uplifted, the dust
brushed from his clothing and he
went on his way rejoicing.
A TELEGRAM from Charleston says
that Charles McDermott, of Morgan
town, has been appointed on the
Governors staff with the rank of colo
mel. 1t says that he is an oil mar
who is operating largely in the Man
nington district. There is no Charles
McDermott about Morgantown, the
only gentleman who would fill the
rest of the description is Jos. Nc
Dermott, and it is very likely that he
is the new colonel. He is over or
Cheat and cannot be reached in time
to ascertain if he is the lucky one but
we will presume that he is. Tht
staff has been gorgeous aggregation
even before this latest acquisition
but it is now expected to eclipse al
similar organizations in the country
Col. McDermott, we salute you and
hope that the supply of gold lace will
hold out until you can obtain the re
quired amount to decorate that mar
tial form.
HARRISON COUNTY farmers received
another splendid object lesson o
Mckinley prosperity last Monday
1t was the genuine stuff, approved BY
Hanna and countersigned by Elkins
his prophet. The splendid Blak'
farm near Rockford was sold at pub
lie sale. IL comprises a house ant
IL acres of land in the village o
Rockford and 1856 broad acres o
grass, carpet hill and vale, as fail
and rich as the sun searches fortl
in its entire journey. During tn
Cleveland panic, Mr.. Blake sacrificed
this property and sold it for sever
thousand dollars, less than one hal
it's value under free coinage laws il
1870. But McKinley's boom pros
perity cured all the ills--with
club. After thorough advertising
and two days spent in getting bid
ders this magnificent propert,
brought tour thousand and ten dol
lars on q credit sale. The gold stand
ard IL the thing for the farmer.
