PEOPLE who come into crowds
with much money in their pockets
are taking an unnecessary risk and
they are almost sure to be sorry that
they have done so before the story
is ended.
The opening game Of football
was very hot argument but it
gives us the hope that the team will
be good one this year. They show
ed wonderful staying qualities at
the critical point.
WE have some very large pump
kins in this county. Mr.. ID. f. Kidd
has just received one weighing S94
pounds. He nad one last week
weighing "a pounds and disposed of
it.
If a law could be passed and en-
forced, prohibiting people from using
the money they owe Others in putting
on style and trying to act aristocratic
the number of dudes and dudines
would be decreased about two-thirds.
The farmers are doing their fall
blowing. The weather has been very
fine for this and it has been done
with less discomfort than usual to
the hardy men who are the bone and
sinew of our land
THE West Virginians on the facul-
ty are to be eliminated, is 6he way
that 1t is put by one Of the regents.
Some of the outside influences may
also be eliminated In the scrap that is
sure to follow the Inauguration of
such policy.
The demand in Morgantown is
for small homes for sale and rent.
People who have money to invest
cannot do better than to put it into
such property. 1t will help the
town and will help everyone con-
cerned.
The Buffalo Whirlwind published
at Buffalo this state and edited by
f. L. Naret formerly of Morgantown
has reached us. 1t starts with the
intention of building a court house
in that county and is a very warm
number. Success to it.
The roads were never better than
they are right now and the delights
of drive or wheel ride are sufficient
to tempt many people out on the
road. II you haven't tried it take
spin or drive and see how much bet
ter you will feel after it is over.
MEN are very hard to get for any
purpose around Morgantown but
this is no sign that they are all at
work. There are some people who
won't work no matter what the in
ducement is offered nor how badly
they may needed to help out the
contractors.
CHADWICK contributed no little
amount to the ending Of the war In
writing his letter to Toral which
Shafter signed and he deserves much
of the credit for the ending of HOSTILE
ties by means of this letter. He and
Rowan are the bright particular stars
of the war as far as West Virginia is
concerned.
THE forests are at their prettiest at
this season of the year and it will re-
pay any one to take stroll out into
the woods and note the Thousand col
orings of the trees. 1t Is summers
farewell and she is making it as i'm
pressive as possible in order that we
may long for her return with great
desire.
MANAGER Grassland is working on
an excursion to Ciarksburg for the
football game on the goth. If it is sue
cessful there will be an awful crowd
up there. The team that is to be
met is very fine one and excursions
will be run from all around to take
it In. The University stock was new
er better in a football way than it is
now.
The little boat Blanch- Edna mar
rowly escaped destruction by fire
day OF two ago. She was
lying at Point Marion and John S.
Costello noticed smoke issuing from
her side and promptly took action
to save her. The fire was caused by
some kindling wood being left too
near the furnace.
The stores should continue the
early closing hour. They worked
it all summer and did more business
than they have ever done. The
clerks will be able to have shorter
hours and they can do better work
in consequence. Taken around there
is nothing that has more to com
mend it and the movement should
receive the appreciation Of ALL
The part Of unwritten history told
by Admiral Sampson concerning the
surrender at Santiago while he was
addressing the people here during the
sword presentation is attracting great
attention over the country and the
news papers are using it to great
extent. The interest attached to
such a statement is peculiar and is
due to the fact that it has been so
long since the events took place with
out it being made public.
If Patron had signed his com
munication to this office it would
have received more consideration.
AS it was it hit the waste basket. 1t
is now known to about all of the in
telligent people who are able to read
that communications addressed to
newspapers must contain the real
name of the writer. This does not
need to be published but it is to be
added as an evidence of good faith
on the part of the writer.
LOOKOUT for the new counterfeit
two dollar treasury note The U.
s. secret service had discovered one
of the series of 1891, check letter ID I;
Bruce, register; Roberts, treasurer:
portrait, Mcpherson. The seal is
dark-red, instead of pink, and the
parallel ruling is poor, as is most
of the lathework. 1t is a fairly de-
ceptive photo etched, and the silk
fiber distributed through the gen
uine paper has been closely initial
ed.
MANY pleasant meetings of old
friends occurred here last week hav-
ing been brought about by the gath
ering to honor Capt. Chadwick.
