BOTH STARTED.
Forty fourth and Forty first reg
iments get Under way.
One OF Them toes East aud the Other
West to the Philippines Morgan.
town People in Each Command Elk
pect to be in Manila by the First of
the Year-N0tes of the Start.


Monday is the day set for the start
ing of the two regiments in which
Morgantown is most interested for
the Philippines. These are the 44th
and the 41st. The first of these has
for one Of its members Lieutenant w.
j. White and the other is command
ed by Col. Richmond and one of its
Captains is w. r. Standiford
The second regiment has been I'M
der orders for some time to embark at
New York on the Goth of this month
ana they left Camp Meade some days
ago in order to be ready for the start
whether or not they have been able to
get ready has not yet been learned
but nothing to the contrary has been
in any of the papers SO that it is
likely that they have made the start.
They go by the way of the Suez
Canal and take the eastern route to
the seat of war. Few of the regi-
ments have gone this way and the
trip will be a novel one to the soldiers.
They expect to be in Manila shortly
after the beginning of the year.
The 44th regiment has left the
camp at San Francisco to take the
transports Hancock and City of Plueb-
10. The latter is the one that En-
sign Leps went over on. The regi-
ment has been in camp at Preside
for several days coming in from Fort
Leayenworth and is ready to go.
They are under command Of Col.
McClernard, Lieut.. w. J. White. Ser
geant Des Moines Utt, Corporal NAL
colin and Private John Shay of Nor
gantown are members OF this regi-
ment. They are getting along nicely
and are ready for the front. We hope
TO give our readers number of letters
from the members of the Morgantown
delegation to keep them informed OF
movements Of all commands in which
they are interested.

would lead TO the stalk Of corn being nsed
as The symbol Of binding contract, For
instance, the Litin for stalk is stipulstio
whence naturally comes stipulation,
In medieval times the presentation OF a
stalk OF corn was q sign OF service and
faith. SO, too, st hiring fats in later
times servants wishing TO be hired carried

when unscrupulous persons deliberately
hired themselves out TO litigsnts to give
any evidence thst wss wanted, they wore
straws in thsir sboes. from which custom
we have the saying "msn OF straw"-s per
son OF no material or moral worth. Tho
