THE opening Of school will take a
J number OF boys off the streets and will
j teach them something better than be
ing unemployed.
| AsoLDIERs uniform which has been
rarity on our streets for long
time is becoming a common sight
The returning soldier boys are proud
of their livery and well they may be
RURAL mail delivery was promised
us some time ago but we have not
yet begun to experience it. We
1, would like 10 know what is the mat
ter that the thing is not pulled of
with more dispatch.
THE foot ball boys will report for
: duty here on the twentieth Of this
: month. The long haired warriors
: will take the place for the ten days
that they will be here before the arri-
val of the rest Of the students.
| IF yon speak of mans marble
brow he will glow with conscious
pride; but gllude to his wooden
head, and he's mad in minute.
Language is a slippery thing to fool
with.
ANY town can do herself lots of
good by entertaining her visitors
properly. We will see to it that the
members of the grand lodge that
meets here next week are properly
cared for.
| THE Juniors will find that we have
pleasant town and one of the best
in the state. We will see to it that
they have nice time and that they
go away with the very best possible
opinion Of Morgantown and her peo-
pie.
THE opening of the Public Schools
will be followed in few weeks by
the beginning of another University
year and the town will soon begin To
fill up with the men and women who
are to study here during the coming
months.
SQUIRRELS have begun to cut on
hickory nuts and the hunters who like
to pursue this game are beginning to
take to the woods. There are not a
great many Of the frisky little fellows
to be found but the sport is more en-
ticing on that account.
BUILDING operations now cost thir-
ty percent more than they did one
year ago but this fact has had no
effect on the rapid growth Of Morgan
town and there are now more build
ings in process of erection that there
has been for a long time previous to
| this
WE are about to enter on the pretti-
est time of the year. The weather is
just right. All natures garb is the
most pleasing and nothing is left TO
be desired in the aspect or condition
Of things surrounding US. We will
part with the heat and dust OF sum-
mer without single regret.
EVERY ONE should see to it that
the very best possible front is main
tanned while the Juniors are here
next week and the members will
take away glowing accounts Of the
wonderful little city that they have
found on the banks of the Monon-
| gahela.
The new Marion county court
house is rapidly taking form and it
now gives promise of being one of
the most beautiful buildings of the
kind in the state Those who have
seen it recently are very much taken
with it. 1t will be worthy of the
county whose seat of justice it is.
A TERRIBLE storm visited Fayette
county few nights ago and large
number of barns were struck by light
ming. 1t was the worst that has been
experienced for years and the damage
| done was very great. The storm did
not reach this county but it could be
seen to the north by those who were
up while it was going on.
The new school building will be
dedicated by the use to which it is
put. Our children congratulate
themselves that they have the best
arranged building in the state and
have in many other respects the adj
vantage over other children who are
attending public school over the
state.
COMPANY l. will meet twice week
until after Chadwick Day They
will take part in the parade on that
occasion and also in the parade of
the Juniors here next week. The
company expects to be in splendid
shape for these affairs. They will
meet on Tuesday and Thursday
nights.
WooD county is having trouble in
raising the money and enthusiasm
for Centennial celebration. 1t will
likely get the latter pretty easily
but it will be harder matter to
raise the coin. The celebration
however ought to be worthy of the
occasion and the county and no
doubt it will be.
THE season for summer visitors over
Cheat is rapidly drawing to a close
and it will not be long before the last
of the tribe has departed for home.
The number of visitors has been
smaller than last year although the
season has been a better one as far as
weather is concerned than it was last
summer. The number of camping
clubs was smaller than usual both
over Cheat and on the Monongahela.
Mrs. VAN DUsEN who was struck
by the train in Uniontown is still
alive and hopes are entertained that
| she will eventually recover. She is
however very seriously hurt. The ac-
cident took place at the same point
where Mr.. Day of Pttsburg was kill
ed a few weeks ago. Gates should be
provided on this street but it is not
expected that such common sense
means of avoiding the danger will be
| followed.
THE room used for the millinery
department of the Novelty Cos
store has been enlarged, the old
room proving too small for the in
crease in business. This company
has made remarkable success of
it's business They handle goods at
a narrow margin, give the best for
the money, do little or no credit bus
mess, and give careful attention to
every detail
The Methodist congregation heard
a sermon Sunday on "The Church
at Sardis.' 1t was one of DIR.
