has been authorized by the Governor
to raise company.

in mans head by the spokes that
come from his mouth.
MAcKER BABE, formerly major has
been appointed by the Governor
major in the second volunteer regi-
ment.
A LARGE number of students are
mot waiting for Commencement but
are leaving as soon as their work is
completed.
IT is now settled why Manila is
spelled with one | when it formerly
required two. One of our University
Professors explains it by saying that
Dewey knocked ell out of it.
M. G. HOLMES, OF Clarksburg has
filed his application for place I'M
der the government in the Philip
pines. He spent ten years there
and would like to return.
A MERCHANT who carries large
line of goods and does not advertise

THE wedding of Miss Fannie Belle
Robinson, formerly Of Fairmont, and
Mr. ]. 0. Skinner, of Pittsburg, is
announced. The wedding will occur
In Pittsburg and they will make their
home in that city.
THE streets should be fixed as much
las possible before commencement.
There is to be an unusually large
number of visitors here and they will
not get very favorable impression Of
the town with the streets as they now
are.
AN interesting letter from Capt. w.
j. White will be found in another
column. A great many of our people
will be very much gratified to see it.
We learn from it that our soldier boys
are getting along fairly well and all
are able for duty.
PEOPLE are beginning to feel that
they have had enough of rain and
would be glad if the weather man
could arrive at the same conclusion.
The constant rains have a depress-
ing effect on everything but the
mud.
The chorus, on account of the
nearness to commencement, and a
consequent desire on their part to get
into the best shape for singing during
that time, is practlcing often and will
be able to furnish some excellent mu-
sic for the various events of that sea-
son.
The four national banks of Park
ersburg in their statements Just
made public, show individual depos-
its aggregating $1,700,000. The
State bank, as also shown, has to-

100000.
The current number of Harpers
Weekly contains a merited notice of
Lieutenant Van Duzen, formerly of
Wheeling, now on the battleship
Iowa, helping lighting Bob Evans
carry out his threat of making the
Spanish language the most popular
tongue used in certain country.
ALL the old buildings and debris
are being removed from the lower
end of the '.old bank" lot on Pleas
ants street and the ground will be
prepared for the erection of hand
some brick building that will be al
most as large as the Post Office
building.
REPORTS from several sections in
dictate that the potato beetle is not
nearly so numerous or destructive
this spring as for some years past
and in many places have not dis
turbed the potatoes. Other insect
pests however are getting in their
work. We learn that Will Cobun
put out 5000 cabbage plants that
were all destroyed and must be re
set.
AN almost fatal poisoning occurred
at the Seminary in Buckhannon a few
evenings ago. Ice cream was served
at supper and the extract with which
the cream was favored contained
arsenic in large quantities. Some of
the young ladies became very sick and
eral hours they were all out of danger
though suffering from the effects of
the poison. A similar case occurred
here short time ago but the sickness
was caused by eating icing on cake.
Six or seven people were made very
sick for time but all recovered with
in day or two.
NOTHING freshens up place and
purifies it for the summer heat as
fresh white wash will do 1t should
be put on neatly and without the
unsightly spluttering that so often
accompanies the process. To pre-
vent rubbing off try this: Stake
one bushel of fresh lime with hot
water. While shaking add pound of
glue previously dissolved in hot wat
er and stir thoroughly. If desired
for use on inside tint with bluing or
diamond dye to the colored desired.
Logwood water will give a soft vel
low brown tint that is particularly
pleasing.
To SOME of the people the preach
er is too sober, to others he is always

er quite sober enough. Remember
that the pastor can never quite adj
just himself to the varying moods
and views of all his congregation.
People should think of this. and
content themselves to let the pastor
be simply himself, even if allowing
him his liberty he is not always just
as we would have him. 1t may be
that the very thing we would criti-
else in him commends him in the
highest degree to those of different
taste
