IHE Iufn eFeIn EXCURSION ludue
hit at the end of the circus parade to-
day and it will make hit with the
river people Tomorrow.
DoN'r allow the circus to make you
forget that the Turn Veren will go
TO California tomorrow and that they
expect to have very large time.
The Seneca base ball team goes down
to get even with the Californians.
CAMPING parties are beginning to
hit Cheat river pretty hard and there
are a number Of them scattered along
that stream. They have not come in
the numbers that they usually do
however and may make this up later.
w. ScoTT STUMP, who was killed
at Clarksburg had his life insured
for S11 900 part of which was taken
out a few days before he was killed,
$4,000 of this was in the United
Commercial Travellers of America.
THE late lamented Prof. Purinton
taught the largest Bible class in
Nashville, or the entire South for
that matter. 1t had three hundred
members. Prof Purinton was an
earnest christian and had been
member Of the Baptist church from
a boy.
Our of So applicants for teachers
certificates in Richie county, last
week, twenty four failed to pass the
examination. and of the number who
did pass fourteen landed in the No.
3 class. There must have been
rather hard lot of questions or a
hard lot of applicants.
WHEN you have an item you would
like to see in the NEW DOMINION
drop in and tell us or write it down
and mail it. Don't be as mum as
clam and then complain to us that
such and such a mention was not in
the paper. If it wasn't, the whole
thing was your fault.
THE railroads have system of
keeping tally on the results of a adj
vertising Careful investigation
shows that advertising in the news
papers has brought the greatesa re-
suits and many Of them will limit
their advertising to the papers.
Hereafter they will refuse handbills,
posters, placards, programs etc.
The circus came in e. Eve thirty
this morning and Of course there
was a goodly delegation down to
meet it. They had apparently at
least some of them stayed up all
night The small boy was greatly
in evidence and he will not leave
his post of duty until the last car
is loaded and gone tonight.
THE day of shows may be ended but
to those who have seen the crowds
pouring into town to-day it certainly
does not seem that the people here
are very tired OF them. Probably the
reason for the continued interest is to
be found in the fact that there hasn't
been big circus here since Barnum
visited US number of years ago.
The county institute will be very
ihtSi CoVAhS Wills y col anu WILL NC
very well attended if present indica-
tions have anything to do with the
case. 1t will be the first to make
use of the new public school building
and no better way can be found to
dedicate it than by assembling the
teachers Of the county under it's
roof
IT is to be hoped that the failure of
the town to get possession of the Hus-
ton and Domain lot on Main street
will not prevent the demolition
Of the eye sore on the front Of the lot.
Some have suggested that it be allow
ed to remain until after Chadwick day
SO that there might be something
about the town in the way of land
mark that he would be familiar with
/ but even this matter should not be
allowed to stand in the way Of the
tearing down of the old building. 1t
is shame that it has been allowed to
remain SO long.
