THE old fashioned winter is with
us and it is giving as our moneys
worth.
THE snow makes il hard for people
to get around but they get there all
the same.
The reports of the crops in this
county show that the wheat Is in
excellent shape. Seldom is it in as
fine condition as it is reported to be
now.
The plumbers are having great
time with the pipes freezing up and
from what has been told us about
the weather they will likely continue
to have fun with them.
THE members of the Charles Nor.
timer Company have made numerous
acquaintance here. They are thor
ough ladies and gentlemen and have
made many friends among our people.
ALL this snow should have come
about Christmas so that the old ira
ditional day might have been enjoyed.
When the weather man had so much
up his sleeve he might as well have
given us part of 1t.

TIE Columbus, Georgia, Record
says the last dress parade of the West
Virginians last week was the finest
sight of its kind ever witnessed by the
people of Columbus. 1.-The splendid
discipline of the regiment held the
men to the strict performance OF duty
t. the very last moment" a large
crowd of Columbuspeople honored thu
occasion with their presence.
THE First regiment is being receiv'
ed all over the state. In nearly all OF
the towns from which there was any
considerable number of soldiers public
receptions have been arranged for. In
Morgantown there were but few who
went owing to the fact that we were
not allowed to furnish Company and
they were not numerous enough t
give them reception.

those who have seen both items the
effect is very amusing.
If the fruit had intended coming
out before the last cold snap it would
now have a differerent opinion as to
the wisdom of the move. The buds
are thoroughly convinced that the
best thing to do is to remain where
they are until spring really comes.
Should there be no unexpected mis-
haps we are likely to have the largest
fruit crop this year that we have ever
had.
