FOR BIDS.
The Council asks for Bids on the
Street paving Contracts,

These will be Received until June thir-
teenth when the Contract will be let.
Right is reserved to reject any or all
Bids-yery best thing for the towns
Interests will be done--rec0rd or the
city fathers in this respect Is very
good one and the People appreciate
their Efforts for the good Of the town.
Work on the paving will be done as
fast as it can but the arrangements
be made slowly enough to make them
Absolutely right--Eyerv chance for
mistake will be avoided If possible
and every care taken that none oc-
eur.
The council has advertised for
bids for the street paving These
will be taken until June 18th when
they will be gone over and it will be
decided what is to be done The bids
may all of them be rejected ifthey are
too high and the whole contract may
be,given to one man or the thing may
be separated as it will be the best
for the town to do
The council has shown that in ev-
thing it does it is anxious to look !
after the very best interests Of the
town and that the affairs OF the mu-
nicipality in their hands are in safe
and secure keeping.
The plans and specifications are
now to be seen at two places In town
and those who expect to bid ON them
can now see what is intended to do.
The letting Of the contracts and ev-
erything else about the paving will
be done as rapidly as possible and
the laying of brick will begin at an
early date. 1t will certainly be as
soon as the matter can be arranged
right. There is to be no bungling
nor mistakes made on account OF a
desire to rush the thing. Whatever
is done it is to be done right no
matter how long it takes. 1t is
much easier to correct a mistake
before it is made than afterwards
and it is also much cheaper.
While of course everyone is anx-
ious to see the paving begin they
want to see it done right when it is
done and they are endorsing the in
tention of the council to make haste
slowly and get what they do done
the very best way possible.
The council has put much time
and labor on the problem of street
paving and they expect to continue
to do SO all without the slightest
hope of reward save that which
comes to man from a conscious
ness of duty well done No town
ever had more careful or painstak-
ing council and the people appreci-
ate their labor on behalf of the adj
vancement and progress of the town.

A GRAFTON TRIBUTE.
The Editor of the Leader tells hew the
meeting of the Editors struck him.

The West Virginia Editorial As
ISOLATION held its annual meeting
at Morgantown on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of last week,
and while the attendance was not
what it might have been, yet it was
one Of the most important in the
history of that organization; it was
indeed gathering Of much interest
to the members of that fraternity, to
say nothing of the many pleasant
social features.
The hospitality shown and defer
entail attention shown the members
of the press upon this occasion by
the citizens of Morgantown was re-
markable. The representatives of
the New DOMINION and Post, true
to their West Virginia breeding and
raising, never lost an opportunity to
make every visitor feel completely at
home. j. Slidell Browns good ma
ture was again imposed upon and he
was prevailed upon to accept the
presidency of the Association for the
next ensuing year.

some MILITARY MATTERS.
and the appointment
of a Brigadier General for
the Brigade.


The reasons why he was turned down
and Smith put in the place which had
been virtually given Spillman How
the Bows are getting along-the lack
of water Is not being felt as badly as
Mt flrst--the regiment is getting in
splendid shape for seryice--their
arms and equipment have arrived and
they are in more presentable con
dition than they were some days ago.
General Spillman that was and
Col Spillman that is of the first
West Virginia volunteers can con
sole himself with the reflection that
be would have had command of his
brigade if he had been mustered in
few days before that event did re-
ally occur. He was made Brigadier
General of the brigade composed of
the first West Virginia, eighth Ohio
and the one hundred and fiftieth In
diana as it was supposed that he was
the ranking Colonel of the organiza-
ton. But the friends of the colonel
of the Indiana regiment bestirred
themselves having made the diseov-
cry that their man was mustered in
first and consequently ranked Col
Spillman. They made great kick
about their man being jumped by
Spillman and the appointment was
revoked and the place given to
Smith.
Spillman's regiment will be the
first regiment of the command how
ever and he will be the first for pro-
motion should any accident occur
to the present commander of the
brigade.
The West Virginia boys have re-
celyed their arms and uniforms and
are in better fix than they were
when they first went to camp Ar
rangements for piping water from
the river to the camp are said to
have been made and ifthey have, the
men will not suffer for water as they
have been doing in the first few days
of their camp life. Why is it that
camp should be made seven miles
from any available water supply is
more than any one outside of the
strategy board can ever discover. 1t
looks like some one had blundered
and blundered terribly. The first
requisite for camp is water and
plenty of it. There was lots of time
to look up camping places and there
was water only seven miles from the
place finally selected as a camp.
Why the men were not taken nearer
the river in the first place is hard
to see.
Some Of the troops are being taken
further south and our boys may go
on in short time. They expect to
be taken to Cuba before long and
will take out of the Spanish hide
any discomfort and hardships that
they may have suffered since they
have gone into the service. The
health of the men has been good and
so far as reported none of them have
been Frustrated by the heat as is
happening to many of the men from
states further north.
The regiment under the influence
of the almost constant drills is be-
coming very proficient in the art
and they will be first class before
long.
