MoRGANTowN people have the So
cial bump well developed. There is
no place where people entertain their

A CASE of cruelty to animals was
reported to the humane society of

THE owners of the sold bank" prop
erty are arranging to tear away the
old wooden building next to the M. e.

used as meat market farther up the
street.
THE successful advertiser is one
who tells the truth. Shrewd mer
chants recognize the fact. Having

is almost in as bad plight as the
merchant who cannot pay his notes.

and ia case the owner comes in and
proves property, the same will be turn
ed over without the customary fee for
advertising. 1t is not dog collar"

NEARLY every town of any inn Or
lance in the state sent considera Die
sums of money to Miller the "Frank
lin Syndicate" swindler In Who ell

companies acknowledged to having
sent large sums and a goodly num-
