How many times did you get fool
ed ON Saturday,

THE earth has hard time Of II
since it has to move every day.
THE painters are taking hold OF tbs
Disciple church and before long the
structure will be ready for occupancy
Nearly every one who is to move
this time has done so but occasionally
"a straggler can be seen enjoying al
The comforts Of a change Of residence
THE side walk leading into st. Clair:
restaurant has been enlarged at the
street and there is no longer any
necessity of trailing on the grass wher
going in or coming out.
THE supper at the NJ. P. Church on
Saturday evening was largely attended
and the people who went had a very
nice time. The affair netted very
tidy sum for the church.
THE festival given by the ladies Of
the NJ. P. Church on Saturday even
ing was very pleasant social occasion,
and financial success, more that for.
ty dollars being realized.

THERE has been considerable com-
plant over the practice Of dumping
garbage near the South Inorganic town
bridge. This should be stopped unless
a terrible eye sore is to be created
there.
APRIL has fooled everyone so far
and they are getting tired of the mum
cry. They want to see the gentle
spring time come. They are tired of
the Klondyke in atmosphere which
they have struck by some mischance.
The waiting room at Seneca will
be used by lots of people who do not
have time or who do not want to come
up town to take the trains. The
freight depot If authorized will be
much more convenient and is needed
great deal worse.
ALTHOUGH there have been many
slides this spring the number has
not yet reached the limit. The
rains of the spring time with their
soaking penetrating insistence will
bring down lots more dirt to delay
and vex the railroad people.
A TRI-coUNTY medical society,

known railroad contractors have Sc
cured the contract for the building OF
a large new tunnel, which will be con-
structed at White Hall on the Wheel
lag division Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. 1t will be a double track
tunnel, 1,700 feet long
THE influence of the free bridge was
/ seen in town on Saturday afternoon
when the largest crowd of country
leopie were on the streets that has
been seen here all winter. Had the
day been more fit or the roads better
there would have been many more of
our friends in town. The merchants
all report big days business.
A GREAT many people have come to
Morgantown to educe te their children.
They form the most valuable part of
the towns population and the influx
from this source will become more
marked when the advantages gained
by the erection of the new school
building become more generally
known.
We welcome Brother U. s. G. Pit
ger, of the Martinsburg Herald,
back into the editorial circle. We
like him personally, and when he be-
comes converted from the ways shall
look for some strong Democratic cd
itorials in the columns of the Her
ald-Charles Town Spirit.
IT will soon be seen whether OF
not the pavements that have already
been laid are any good and how
good they are. The thawing which
is now going on will test them more
than anything else that can take
place They appear to be standing
up all right and the chances are
that they will be all right.
If any branch OF age of the human
family has escaped the grasp of the
trusts it has not been observed. They
reach out for the baby's cradle, the
youngsters candy, the mans toddy,
the woman's corset and the corpses'
coffin. No one has yet devised a
scheme to get corner on salvation,
so this is probably safe until the lawyers
become more familiar with the sub
| ject.
MANY young trees have been set
out over town and this summer they
will start out on their mission to
make the town prettier and more
healthful There is nothing that
does more to add to the beauty of a
place or its health than nice shade
trees. Morgantown is lucky in this
respect and she should see to it that
there is no backward step taken
along this line.
