The Time Set for the Sunnyside
Annexation Election.
Five Voters Ask the Council to Order
an Election on the Proposition to
AnnexlSunnyside-A special Meeting
Of Council Held and the Election Or
dered-Will Undoubtedly Carry.

Council held special session last
night TO consider the petition which
had been drawn up on the Sunnyside
annexation matter. The petition was
signed by five voters of Morgantown
as required by law and after satisfying
themselves that the paper was in
proper form an election was ordered
TO be held. The date set was Febru-
airy first and this heads the Seneca
four days.
The commissioners appointed for
Morgantown were James A. Davis,
G. w. McVicker and John Alexander.
For Sunnyside the men to look after
the voting were Ewing Martin, w. M.
Boyd and S. f. Conner. The voting
place for the the town is to be Munic-
ipal hail. and for the suburb Hough's
store will be the place
The opposition which was antlci-
pated and which would be felt to the
scheme under any other circumstances
has eyaporated. 1t is either the town
of Morgantown or the town Of SEN
eea, and as a choice of evils they will
take Morgantown. The town is sup
posed to be in favor of the annexa-
tion and the proposition will undoubt-
edly carry. 1t will require majority
in both the districts interested to car
ry. Every resident Of Sunnyside who
is voter can vote on the proposition
and in addition every voter who is a
property holder out there, although
not resident, can also vote on it.

FINANCES OF WEST VIRGINIA.
The State Treasurer's Reports Shows
a Fine Balance.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. H.
The balances made up in the State
Treasury on December 81 show bal
ances covered as follows: State fund,
1856, 697 40: general school fund, 800, :
647.36; school fund, 1892, 73s A.
making total OF 1894, 080.32. The
income Of the State treasury will be
large this month, due to the collec-
ton Of railroad taxes, licenses, etc.
These will probably amount to more
than $500, 900, making the balance on
the first OF February more than 81
900, 900.
The 1892, 1854 reported as the
school fund balance is only cash
portion of that fund, the total in
Guiding Understanding securities now
exceeds 800, 200 which yields for the
support Of the public schools for the
State from $40, 900 to $45, 900 yearly.
The general 10 per cent levy is in adj
dition to this, and yields about the
same amount, SO that West Virginia
receives each year about $S5, 900 for
the support of its free schools.

PRODUCED a joint resolution authoriz-
ing the secretary Of war to have a
survey made of the West Fork of the

1t Is reported, and we believe truth-
fully, that Mr.. Harry Craig and Miss
Sallie Hood, daughter of Joseph Hood,
OF Louisville, were married last week
at Oakland, Md.
Isaac Google, of Rivesville, and
Mrs. Azilla Camp, were united In
marriage on Sunday morning, January

Stewards run, Monongalia county,
Rev. Cain of the M. Il. church south
officiating.
j. e. Beatty Of Warrington, was
in town on Tuesday. He wanted to
see that long hog, but we told him
that whenever Warrington district
could produce something that had a
longer stretch to it we would trot out
our porker. We expect somebody
down there 10 beat it.

is loyal Marion county man he al
ways speaks in the highest terms
of Morgantown and Monongalia, his
native county.
Fairmont is in need of an organi-
zation for the prevention of cruelty
to animals. The poor horses that
work in the hacks driven about town,
would no doubt attract first attention.
All day and all hight are these dumb
tired brutes either made to stand
out in the weather or be driven until
they are scarcely able to move at all.
We believe that an ordinance created
by the town providing that these
hacks should not run after L. at night
would prove a great benefit to the
animals, and at the same time put an
end to midnight maudling and assist
in regulating the morals Of the town.

1t is said that Goldsmith, much an

The indolent doctor was delighted
with this idea and ordered the "clever
man" in question to be sent to him the
next day. The amanuensis arrived, and
sat, pen In hand, waiting for the dicta-
ton to begin.
Goldsmith paced the room with great
solemnity at first and then with rapidly.
increasing disturbance Of mind and fea-
lures. At last he.came to a sudden. halt
before the waiting scribe and thrust his
hand into his pocket.

MIGHT ON The SHORE.

Dark is the sea and dark the sky:
The hurrying clouds drive swiftly by,
And the waves are wild tonight
They laugh at the bird that cries on the
crag.
The eeaweed from on the rocks they drag:
There IL never q one that cares To lag.
And they shout In glee at their might
Hitler and thither they ever roam,
flashing themselves 10 gllstening foam.
Over the black night sea
They long to leap their rocky bound.
To seek the height where freedom is found
~ run with Joy DER the sandy mound.
And over the world TO fee.
Then up and VI the granite wall
They hurf Themselves, but back they fall,
Down through the dizzying air.
TIP. with a Shrek OF rage and pain.
They dash from the crest of the foamlng
main,
Climbing so msdlyi But back again
They fall with q roar Of despair.
The soul Of man would sometimes leap
The environments that round 1t sweep.
But Its bonds are set; like the mighty deep.
1t must not seek To know.
As in IN morning the waves will lap the
shore,
The soul must be content as before,
Till the great unknown Is the evermore
Which God Himself shall show.
