The practice of lot of young pup
pies in standing on street corners and
insulting every young lady will be
properly rebuked by a man with a
stout club. Everybody wants to see
it done.
The order at the Opera House

gratifying to the learned gentleman

ST. PATRICK's day was observed in
Morgantowu to quite an unusual ex-
tent. Many shamrocks were worn and
the display of his favorite color would
have warmed the heart of any son of
Erin who might have noticed it.
The dispatch sent out from Charles
ton recently stating that the new adj
jutant general went in for red tape
with a vengeance and constantly wore
his uniform is fake pure and simple.
No such order has been issued and it
will not be issued.
A BIG gasser has been struck in
the Masontown field at depth of g.
200 feet. The pressure is 700 pounds

As WAS expected General Spillman
denied Colonel Fasts allegations of
partiality as set forth in the Colonel's
resignation. But it is undeniably true

considerable asperity over it.
A FAMILY who has lived in Nor
gantown for years has been forced
t. make arrangements to leave town
on April first on account of inability
to rent house. And yet the wide
awake up to date monied men will
stand around and see such acondition
and not go to building houses. When
viii they get their eyes open?
MEssRs. Wilmington and Waters
have bought the shoe store on Main
street of L. ID. Williamson and will
take charge on April Sd. They will

or near the Monongahela. There is
absolutely no reason why it cannot
be held and will undoubtedly result

concerned. Let our students put

thoroughly enjoyed by all participa-
