THE "Elksn intend giving THE
show of the season It costs them
money, but that means success
OTHER people are beginning TO no
tice the ward habit that Fairmont
has fallen into and to poke fun at
them.
The election in Greenmont on the
twenty-fifth has not as yet caused
any great outburst of excitement.
They are hardly large enough to
make the offices worth enough to
fight over.
The early robin has appeared at
last, and fills the balmy air with his
song of prospective warm weather.
While his arrival has with it many
pleasant memories, yet to some who
think along pessimistic lines, it con
lures up visions Of house cleaning
and carpet heaters and spades and
lawn mowers and blistered hands
and expressions that are not found
in the Sunday school books. All of
the ideal is driven into Oblivion by
thoughts of the material. But spring
will come and with it will come du-
ties that will have to be performed,
and the easier we take the burdens
which they involve, the lighter will
they become.
TIE Charleston Gazette Is authori-
ty for the statement that the expenses
! of the presidents Reception" held
at the University last June were paid
out of the public funds of the Univer-
sity. We regret to say that this is
true and something unheard Of in the
past but something that will be heard
OF in the future from our taxpayers.
| The expenses of the Function" were
quadruple that ever given by any
President before and it is not unrea-
sonable to presume that the next one
will be on still more elaborate scale.
When this state of affairs comes to be
understood by the people who foot
the bill there may be gentle remon-
STRANGE supplemented by the toe of a
good sized boot.

ing made for the new Wood building
on Walnut street is being placed
along the Walnut street side OF the
Poster building so that it may be
brought up to grade on that side.
1t will take good deal of grading
to make the fill up to where the new
grade line runs This will raise the
street in front until some of the
buildings are almost covered up.
This will be found to be the case all
over town when the pavements go
down This will lead to endless rag
chewing on the part of property
owners but they can hardly do any
thing to remedy it The mistakes
have been made in establishing the
old grade lines by the engineers.
Hardly any two side walks on oppo-
site sides of any streets are on lev
ell with each other.
