AN ARGUMENT.



Is be in the hole!
Half the town was tangled up in an
argument last night over plan OF
drawing suits of clothes and dis
cussion of how much If any that the
tailor would lose on every transaction
and whether or not he could get out
anyway without getting burnt.
The plan is for twenty five men to
form club. Each man puts in one
dollar IA week. Every week a man
draws suit and drops out. A new
man is put in his place. However
the proyiso is made that every man
who pays in twenty-five dollars with
out being lucky enough to draw suit
will have one presented to him by the
tailor.
Now how much will the tailor lose
If he runs the series out? How much
will he lose If instead of having the
drawing on the twenty fifth night he
proposes that each man make up the
difference between what he has al
ready paid in and twenty-five dollars
and in return for this gives each one OF
them a TWENTY-FIVE dollar suit?
A correct answer to this with a
diagram that Bernie MADEIRA can see
through will be greatly appreciated.

corp0ration-Notice will soon be
given of the Move.

Morgantown is likely to have an
other town formed under the shadow
of its wing. Greenmont is getting
trifie overgrown for country neigh
borhood and feels that it is large
enough to make town out of its
self Several of the people over
there are interesting themselves in
the matter and they are looking into
the matter, of the cost Of the i'm
proyement.
In case they decide to take the
step they win give a notice and
hold their election and get into a
municipality as soon as they can at
tend to it. The people feel that they
would be more secure and have less
outbreaks to contend with If they
had the protection of towns

given in Morgantown.

mensely-The feet between the

The banquet which was given on
Saturday night by the council was the
finest thing that has ever been given
in the town. Every one who was
present was loud in his praises OF the
way the affair was conducted. No
little of this credit is due to Host
bantz who was interchangeable in his
efforts to see that everyone had the
very best time possible.
The banquet was all right Ia every
particular. The courses were very
fine, they were prepared in the best
manner and they were served In the
best possible style.
The people from Fairmont came in
on the afternoon train and they were
entertained in the Mingo club rooms
until the banquet came off. A num-
Der Of those who expected TO come
were unable to be here much TO the
regret of everyone. Not one OF the
newspaper men of the up river town
came in.

We are Endorsed.

The plan of cleaning off the streets
is very good one but the plan as
used in Parkersburg should be put
into effect here. There they have
found that to hold up the nozzle of
the hose tears the sand out of cracks
in the brick. In order to remedy
this they hold the nozzle close to
the brick and the water comes out
so that it cleans the surface without
washing out the sand.-NEw Do
MINIoN.
The latter plan should be strictly
followed wherever street hose is used
for cleaning the surface Of brick
paved streets. Incalculable harm is
done the pavement by holding the
hose in such a position that the wat
er will cut the sand from between
the cks.--Grafton Sentinel.
