This story is Of a little girl, and it may
or may not have been told publicly before,
says the New York Times. 1t is a cap
story, brought out by that OF the little girl
and her salutations. This other little girl
had been taken TO church for the first
time, and she was somewhat surprised by
the general style OF the building, which
was quite unlike anything she had ever
seen before.
Whose house is this ?" she asked.

and the little girl took another critical view
of the building.

A Good Act.

Morgantown did itself proud in
voting bonds to assist In building the
proposed railroad from Kingwood to
that city, which enterprise will be OF
great advantage to both towns and
open up new and rich field between
them. There are some people who
will contest the election on the tech
meal ground that Morgantown would
become indebted beyond the consti-
tutional limit.
Ordinarily we do not believe in vio-
lating constitutional provisions; but
there are times when il the welfare OF
a community is at stake, an objection
to the issue Of bonds to the amount
OF $45, 600 would not likely bankrupt
SO progressive and modern a commun-
ity as Morgantown, particularly when
it means new railroad. This rail-
road will be Of greater financial bene-
fit to Morgantown in a few months
time than the expenditure Of the $45,-
600 win be damaging TO her credit.

UNHAPPY END.
George Chiyers Dies After Living as a
Recluse For Years.

The death of George Chivers re-
moves one of the characters of the
town and county. He had lived for
several years the life of hermit al
most until seized with senile gan
creme which ended his life,
He was taken care of by Sim Austin
who lived near the Hog Back and in
return for the kindness the property
owned by the old gentleman was left
to his benefactor. The funeral took
place on Tuesday afternoon at four
O'Clock and the interment was in Oak
Grove cemetery. The services were
conducted by Dr.. Leech.
Mr.. Chivers came originally from
Philadelphia and had taught school at
that place and in Pittsburg, being a
man of more than average scholastic
attachments. A disagreement with
his wife occurred some years ago and
he left home drifting finally to this
place. A divorce followed and he
ended his life alone. He lived here
ten or twelve years.

The school board did not meet on
Tuesday night as they had expected
but were prevented by the absence of

There are number Of applicants
and the board wants to get the mat
ter definitely settled and off their
minds before the rest of the work has
to be taken up. Superintendent
Brand is an applicant for reelection

WILL NOT COME.
Governor Atkinson will not get
here Commencement.


But viii be Unable to Attend-Im-
portant Meeting ut Scio will Take
his Time-0nly Change so far Made
in Commencement Week.
Governor Atkinson will not be here
during Commencement week to deliv-
er the address that he promised us
some time ago to deliver. He is now
on the road and will be on the Jump
until the % Of the month when he
will finish by delivering an address at
the dedication of the College at Way
nesburg
He left Charleston day or so ago
to attend the Commencement at
Buckhannon being member of the
board Of trustees OF that institution.
From there he will 20 TO Kingwood
to be present at the wedding of Hon.
w. M. O. Dawson, June 18th. He
will be present, June 1921, at the
commencement exercises of Ohio
Wesleyan University, at Delaware, o.,
of which he Is a graduate and mem
Der of the board Of trustees. From
Delaware he will go to New Philadel-
phia, o., where he will deliver an adj
dress before the students of Scio Col
lege, of which he is member Of the

be Wheeling, where he will deliver an
address, June &c, at the .Elks' street

his itinerary at Waynesburg College,
Pa, where he will deliver an address
before the students, June %.
Everyone regrets that he will not
be here and hopes that next year he
may be able to map out his plans so
that he can get here to see us. This
year the consolidation Of the Colleges
Of Scio and Mt. Union will take up
his attention just when he had in
tended to be here.
This is the only change as far as
known that will be made in the pro-
gram Of Commencement week which
begins on this evening by an enter
tainment given at Commencement
Hall by the members of the Woman's
League who are trying to pay their
debt incurred last year through the
publication Of year book.
A large crowd is expected TO attend
the exercises tonight and they will be
repaid for their trouble as very ex-
cellent program has been arranged by
the League for their entertainment.

A Good idea.

1t has been suggested that the road
to be built through the lots owned by
Cox and Baker and Others on the other
side Of deep hollow be extended to
meet the Decker's Greek road near
the Hog Back. This will enable peo-
pie to avoid the two grade crossings
on the Blackbottle that are at the
end OF the two bridges on the creek
above here. The extension could be
made with little trouble and it would
afford better inlet and outlet to the
town than the present road up the
creek.

CHADWICK DAY.
Immense Celebration TO take
place in Morgantown.

State Affair to be Made out of it-Mag-
nificent sword TO be Presented to
Chadwick Who is a Native of This
Place Notables will Attend-COm.
mittee Working on the plan.
Morgantown is making arrange
ments to do honor her son Frank
Endswer Chadwick of the Flagship
New York Of SIMPSONS fleet. The
arrangements have not been per-
tected as yet although they have
been on foot for some time. They
have grown far beyond the first
ideas of those who proposed that
matter and the result will be cele-
bration that will eclipse anything
ever given in the state
Chadwick is Morgantown lad
having been born and bred in this
place and it is peculiarly fitting
that he receive the recognition due
his services in his native town. The
town however will share the glory
with the entire state and the state
will participate in the occasion.
Thousand of people are expected
to be here. Admiral Sampson will
be present together with other
equally distinguished men of the
Nation and State. Several of the
other high officials in the Navy are
expected to attend
Some time ago it was proposed in
quiet way to have sword presen-
tation and have Captain Chadwick
here The idea was well received
and the plan grew to greater and
greater proportions as time went
on. 1t enlarged and spread out I'M
til now the idea is to have celebra-
ton that the whole state can join in
and one that will be remembered for
years to come.

They have sent out several thou

their co operation in the affair.
There is nothing IN way of a great
and bewildering success but hard
work and that will be forthcoming.
Every one will put his shoulder
to the wheel and make the affair
what it should be made and that is
one of the most notable of the kind
that has taken place since the close

June It'll, 1899.
DEAR SIR:-At a meeting of some
friends of French f. Chadwick, a for
mer Morgantown boy, but now dis
tlnguished officer Of the United States
Navy, it was suggested that some
thing should be done at his old home
TO express some appreciation OF his
most valuable services to the country,
especially those rendered 10 the late
Spanish war.
The idea was most enthusiastically
endorsed by all to whom 1t was mem
toned and steps were taken TO put i'm
to execution those suggestions. Many
Of our fellow citizens are enthusiastic
over the matter. It has grown spon-
taneously, till Morgantown is too
small limit and it Is now proposed
TO make it a state affair. We had
expected in modest way to have a
sword presentation at Morgantown.
but we are reliably Informed that
should we conclude to make a popular
demonstration, Admiral Sampson,
and other distinguished men of the
Navy, State and Nation would honor
the occasion by their presence. III is
therefore thought that all the state OF
West Virginia should be invited TO
participate therein. II it Is made a
state affair we desire, first, TO secure
the endorsement and cooperation OF
the state officers, senators and repre-
sentatives In Congress.
The following Committee has been
appointed in relation TO the matter,
to-wit:
Hon. waitman I. Wiley, Chairman,
Lieut.. Com r. NJ. G.. Brown, Vice
Chairman.
Frank Cox, L. S. Brock, w. Il.
Glasscock, J. G. Lantz, NJ. s. Garri-
son, G. b. Ollie, Joseph Moreland, Il.

e. Nj. Grant, j. Fl. Stewart, Geo. G.
Baker, JOS II. McDermott ID. H..
Courtney, S. d. Hirschman, Robt. A.
Armstrong.
Feeling that you are interested in
Capt. Chadwick and DESTROYS Of assist
ing in honoring him, you are asked
for your opinion about the matter, as
well as your cooperation and assis-
lance Will you advise us OF your
views and assist in formulating plans
so that the occasion will be one that
will reflect credit to the whole state?
Ii you concur in making this a state
affair, please sign the enclosed slip
and return with your answer to this
letter so that we may use the same.
Please address all correspondence to
the vice-chairman, X. M. G. Brown,
Morgantown w. Va.
BY order of the Committee.
Very Respectfully,
