Delegates Return to Moreantown From
The Inter Collegiate Contest.


The representatives of the two
societies, Mr.. Will John and Mr.. A..
W. Smith are back from New Will
mington where they had been attend
ing the contest between the different
colleges in the association. Mr..
White who was the President of the
Association has also returned to Nor
gantown. Mr.. Spear has gone on to
Fairmont.
The men who have come in state
that the contest was not very good
one and that it was not nearly up to
the standard Of last year. Several OF
the orations were rather good but tho
rest were tame. There were three
ties for third place and we drew
fourth. Two Of the colleges were un-
represented.
Westminster besides taking first
place also furnished the man for
President of the Association thus par
allelling the action Of w. V. o, last
year.

After the Crip-What?

You thought you had the best of
the grip and you determined to wear
it off; but somehow it does not wear
off as you expected. You pass restless,
sleepless nights and get up in the
morning feeling more exhausted than
when you retired. You are irritable
and nervous and have no appetite for
your food. You go about in a listless,
halfhearted sort of way, and every
thing you undertake to do seems to
80 wrong. Do you know that you
are on the verge Of nervous prostra-
ton? You need help; and you need
it more now than you did when the
grip was at its worst.
DR.. Miles Nervine is the best medi.
cine you can get to build up your
shattered nerves and restore your
wasting strength. 1t invariably in.
sures sound sleep and gives the over
strung nerves their natural rest. II
makes the appetite keen, facilitates
the digestion, gives healthful vitality
TO nerves and restores health.
II was nervous, restless, irritable
and altogether out Of sorts. It was
impossible to get my natural sleel
and became SO weak and exhausted
that could not leave my bed. III
nally commenced taking DR.. Miles
Nervine and ] began to improve from
the first dose. In short time IN,
nealth was completely restored.

The CONVOCATION.
Finishes its Labors and has
left Morgantown.

Interesting Sessions on Wednesday,
Missionary Meeting Closes the SEES
sion-yery Interesting Talk by Rev.
Mr.. Ambler-Eyery one Delighted
by it--Others Note of the Meeting.
The central convocation of West
Virginia which has been in session
herefor two days has closed its la
bors and has adjourned The mem
bers all started for home ON the
noon train on Thursday. The ses-
sion has been an interesting and
profitable one and the members en-
joyed their stay in Morgantown i'm
mensely.
On Wednesday afternoon Sunday
Schools and their General Scope was
the first topic for consideration.
This was handled by Revs. A. X.
Fenton and L. w. Cooke. The next
topic taken up was preparation OF
Candidates for Confirmation dis
cussed by Revs. J. c. Amber and T.
Z. Winecoff. This exhausted the
afternoon and adjournment was
taken until evening
At seven thirty a missionary
meeting was held in the church.
This was one Of the most interesting
meetings ever held in Morgantown.
The attendance was'not as large as
it should have been but those who
were there had rare treat. The
Dean Rev w. II. Bnrkhact opened
the meeting with a short introduce
tory talk and then Rev. J. G. AM
bier delivered an impromptu adj
dress.
He took for his subject the
work being done in Japan by
the church. This talk was full OF
interesting and varied experiences
and was thoroughly enjoyed by those
who were there and they seemingly
could not hear enough of the sub
ject.
The business transacted at the
meeting was not of very great inter
est to people outside of the church.
Some very interesting matters to
the ministers were taken up. The
convocation will meet here again next
spring.

BY LAND AND WATER.
Morgantown has a Chance to
Get Many new Ways of
Exit.
West Side Railroad Looks More and
go-People Wanted to get on the
Right Of Way-This is Taken to
Mean that Construction Is Going to
Begin Soon-New Activity on River.
Other Raat Lines TO be Started.

Other Boat Lines to be Started.
Talk about the railroad on the west
side has not been going on much late
ly but just now it is being agitated as
much as it ever was. 1t begins TO
look much more certain that the road
will be built ON through from Browns
vile to the south the coming sum-
mer Every one hopes that the infer
ence is z true one and will be glad to
see the dirt begin to move.
1t is reported that the people who
are living on the right Of way have
been notified to get out of the way.
This looks like the company expected
to use the ground at once or they
would be 10 no hurry TO make the for
mer owners get off.
Along the same line it is stated
that the road will not come direct 70
Morgantown but will go up Dents
Run from Granville giving US the cold
shoulder and spur track up here.
This may or may not be true. The
importance of the town would GER
tainly seem to be SO great that the
road cannot afford to do this but even
If they did we would be all right in
great measure. However it will be
much more agreeable to have them
come right up on the West Side.
At any rate 1t is now certain that
there is some thing very important in
the wind and before long we may
learn what is to be done. The road
is certainly going to be built. 1t is
now only matter of time and that
may not be very far off.
With the increasing prospects of
transportation by land we are likely
to get better facilities by water. Not
only are we going to have slack water
navigation from here to Fairmont but
we are to have more boats enter the
down river trade.
The old line is going t0put on an
other boat and a new line is going to
compete with them for the share OF
the trade that is coming to them.
This company and its hackers are
amply able to carry out the plans that
they have. They will enter the trade
to stay
The Hudsons may come back this
summer but that is hardly likely.
They did not do so well last season
and are in no condition to buck the
older company. Rivermen say that
the boating has never been as active
as it is now and that the indications
for very great increase in the bust
ness are very good indeed.

GRAFrON's GREAT GATHERING.
The State Epworth League. to Meet
June 1928.

The biennial convention OF the
West Virginia Conference Epwortt
League will meet at Grafton, on June
1929. The membership is large, and
the basis of representation is such as
to insure fine attendance Of the en-
thusiastic young people composing
that aggressive organization. Good
talent is being secured, the local chap
ter of the League is actively engaged
in the preliminary arrangements, re-
duced rates will be secured on al
railroads, and thus everything points
to highly successful and noteworthy
occasion.

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent.
The enormous increase in the num-
Der of letters carried in the U. S..
mails make it certain that the rate of
postage must eventually be,reduced to
one cent an ounce instead of two
cents. The president who succeeds
in getting such measure through
congress will hold high place in the
esteem of the people, but no higher,
perhaps, than the esteem in which
everybody holds Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. This medicine has an I'M
equalled record in reducing the sick
ness of mankind. it gets at the
starting point of the disease by act
ing upon the stomach direct, helping
that important organ in its duty of
|digesting food. 1t fills the blood
with the rich, red corpuscles Of
health, building up the tissues that
general debility has destroyed. 1t
makes good appetites, allays nervous
ness, stimulates the kidneys, and
makes the rundown man or woman
feel like new person. Try 1t.

ANOTHER BRIDGE.
Finest Building Sites In the Country
May Soon be Made Easy OF Access.

A bridge across to the building
sites between Greenmont and South
Morgantown is being talked of again
and it has gone further than talk
this time. The people who are back
of it are thoroughly inearnest and
they have a good start on finishing
the work.
Should this bridge be built it
will add the finest building territory
in town to our available territory
and will help the town as nothing
else has done The people who
own the land and put the bridge
over will reap great big per cent
for the money and time. Nothing
that can be done will pay better or
quicker than this move will do.

older ones know better. There is
nothing more true than that it de-
mands time for the accomplishment
of any desired object. The farmer
sows his wheat in the autumn and
waits until the following June or July
for a harvest. Makers of wagons buy
