The present warm days have driy
en- many people to Cheat and othel
mountain resorts. While the day.
get very warm the nights are pleas
ant and bring great relief.
THE piles of trash ON the streets
should be removed when the paving
is completed. They litter up thu
streets and are in some places I
menace to people using the stress
THERE has been more or less talk
for some time about a depot for Sen
eca. The railroad authorities have
taken the matter up and there seems
to be little doubt that it will be cs
tablished before long.
THE acceptance Of the invitation
extended to Rutter's band to give us
concert on Thursday is Of interest
to everyone. The whole town will be
out to hear the concert and show by
this that they appreciate the kindness
of our visitors.

prettiest places in the town. Pave.
nlents will be laid shortly all around
the building ard there will be nc
iced OF getting on the grass.
THE West Fork river at Clarksburg,
w. Va, is completely dried up. A
few days ago the floodgates of the
dam at the Point Mills, which have
ceased operations, were removed and
the water was entirely run out of the
bed of the river, leaving ii dry as tin

MONT Chateau has good crowd of
summer visitors and those who have
visited the place recently unite in say
ing that the cuisine is very fine one.
The fame of the chicken and waffle
suppers that are being given attracts
many people out to spend the even
ing.
A NUMBER of coal deals are on the
carpet and several more may be report
ed in this and adjoining counties be-
fore very long. We hope that the
plans may 20 through as it means
money and plenty of it for our people
In case they do not fall through in
stead of going through.
THE piles of brick and paving ma
terial that are scattered along Pleas
ants street should be removed accord
ing to the ideas of people living on
that place. They want the pavement
laid or the stuff taken away. The
council will remove them as soon as
they decide where the stuff is to CO.
ERNEST Stemple of Morgantown
formerly of Company M. of the Second
regiment is the way one young man
registered when he entered the service
a few days ago at Wheeling. He is
probably resident of Preston county
and may have been employed at this
place but he is not native of Nor
gantOwn.
The person or persons who broke
down the sign board leading to Mt.
Chateau will likely find out that they
have wakened up the wrong passen-
ger. Mr.. Voigt offers a reward of
fifty dollars for the arrest and convic-
tion of the scoundrels and he will
prosecute them to the fullest extent
of the law.

as given in this paper yesterday.
Miss Hodges was one of the five teach
ers outside Of Morgantown who were
elected to places She comes very
highly recommended as in fact do all
Of those chosen.
THE hot wave of the past few days
has been some thing terrible, the
heat on Sunday being particularly
severe. The weather man has been
promising us relief for several days
from showers and moderate tempera-
ture but no one outside of the weather
man has been able to locate any mod
crate temperature or any rain either
for that matter.
GOVERNOR ATKINSON has been sue
cessful in securing for the city of
Charleston one of the largest cannon
captured from the Spaniards in the
late American Spanish conflict 1t
will be substantially and handsome
ly set in the State House yard. A
popular demonstration will be made
when the gun is mounted, which

THE largest water maple in front
of the f. & M. bank has been taken
down. 1t seems pity to remove
this tree which was one of the finest
In the town but there were many rea-
sons why it should have been taken
out of the way 1t interfered with
the entrance to the room in the base
ment of the new post Office building
and this was the main reason for its
removal.
THE iron steps for the new post
Office have arrived and have been put
in place. The ratings on either side
were too long and a section had to be
left off but it is better this way than
in the way originally intended. The
steps are all right but the loafers who
expected to sit on the railing are dis
posed to rail at it because they will
have a pointed refusal stuck at them
when they try to sit down.
A CONFESSION that it is hard to
get men for the Philippines is to be
found in an offer that is being made
by the war department. They will
give commission to any one who
will raise forty volunteers for the
service and have them accepted.
This plan is being followed by those
who are anxious to get to the is
lands as commissioned officers.
S. A. PosTEN has rented the base
ment of the Postoffice building and
will move his grocery into it as soon
as the finishing touches are put on.
1t is the largest room in town being
100 feet deep. Except Architect
Jacobs office the two upper floors
are not yet taken. 1t is all elegant
ly finished and will make an ideal
place for offices or almost any other
purpose.
A FULL grown machette is on ex-
hibition in the windows of the
Athens Cigar store. This was pre-
sented to Frank Caples by a friend
who saw service in Cuba. The weap-
on is identical with those used by
the insurgents in their fight against
the Spanish and is very savage
ooking corn cutter. The execution
with such weapons at close quarters
must have been some thing dread
