The people who own gardens are
hard at work getting ready for the
usual crop of garden sass this year.
IL every direction can be seen new
houses going up and still there is
no let up to the demand for houses
by the renters.
THE number of awnings going up
over town shows that the heated term
is nearly here and that the merchants
are getting ready for it.
The warm weather has brought
out the leaves in great profusion and
the trees in few days will be in
their full summer foliage.
EVERY postal card you see these
days is made at the Piedmont Pulp
mill, and manufactured from timber
grown on the West Virginia Hills.
IT isn't possible for us to be every
where and see everybody, conse-
quently we do not know everything.
II you know news item, tell us. we
appreciate such favors.
IT is difficult for a man coming
home late at night to realize that the
towering female who stands at the
head Of the stairs is the timed little
girl who once tainted 10 his arms at
sight Of a mouse.
TINS week should be one of great
interest to everyone in town. There
will be many addresses which you
cannot afford to miss and many men
whom you should by all means get
acquainted with will be here.

The cadets had sham battle on
the hill east Of town Thursday after
noon. The shots were not heard in
town. 1t had been intended to have
had the excitement in town but the
orders were misunderstood and the
parts of the corps got separated.
THE streets of the town which
have the most trees on them are the
prettiest in town. There should be
more trees planted and the improve
ment in the appearance of the
streets which have been neglected
in this direction would be wonder
full.
TIE steamer Nellie Hudson gave
an excursion on Sunday afternoon
from Morgantown to Lock No. s.
A jolly well behaved crowd was
aboard who expressed themselves
well pleased with the trip. The
purser's report at No. 8 showed 2l6
passengers aboard.
SOUTH Morgantown is not yet
ready for street improvements. Some
Of the conservative citizens over
there who voted against the ordi-
nance say that it will carry in the
future and explain that the town
was not quite ready yet for such
decided step in advance
PROVISIONS in Havana and in the
Klondille region go at about the same
figures. In Havana beef is $100 a
pound and chickens $3.50 a piece.
And the chances for ones life are
about equal. In the Klondike you
are liable to freeze to death and in
either to be shot or blown up.
We believe Havana to be the safest
place.
The switch board at the Bell ex-
change was out of order and some

know what was the matter. The
board has been fixed and everything
is lovely now.

the army.
Now IS the time to clean up and
beautify your premises. The town
should try to look as well as possible
while the editors are here. They
will go back home and tell what
they have seen while our guests.
Much depends on whether or not
their report is favorable and that
will in great degree depend on the
of the town as they see it.

Of the names mentioned most promi-
nently in connection with the organ
ization of VOLUNTEER company here, is
that of the Rev. j. w. Francis, whose
patriotism, popularity and
presence would likely
insure for him the clptaincy, or some
official position in the company.
THE young man who deserves the
best treatment to be had at the West
Virginia University is he who walk
cd 55 miles and carried his satchel
from his home in the interior of the
State to a railway station where he
could take train for Morgantown.
One of West Virginia's boasts is
that the majority of students at her
State institution are young men and
women of limited means, with the
pluck to make their way through
despite little inconvenience of that
character.-Charieston Gazette.
