shining hour
THE NJ. & X. has returned the b.

AS the winter draws to close the
season at the Opera House also APP
proaches its end. There are to be
but two more plays this year. One

COLDER weather did not come in
with the day but the mercury this
morning stood at forty. Rain began
shortly after seven thirty and has
been adding to the delights OF the day
since that time. No one can COM
plain of scarcity of rain this winter.
THE service at the churches to-mor-

PRESTON county's development at
| Mannheim has brought in very unde-
sirable class of people and the shoot
ing that took place there few days
ago was done by one of these. 1t was

ty. As a rule people living in Preston
are peaceable and lawabiding

whistler and he will make hit where
ever he goes.
MoNONGALIA county shares in
much of the prosperity brought by the
oil development. Some large wells
have been struck recently in this coun-
ty and the development is going right
on. Just now we would have more Of
it if we had roads that could be nayl-
gated in winter with the heavy loads
that the oil men require. This branch
of industrial activity is held back
along with many Others by the roads.
| A GENTLEMAN from Fairmont who
has been here states that it is the
opinion of every one who has looked
at the suspect up there that the man
hasn't trace of small pox. 1t is an
attack of erysipelas from which he
is suffering. At the same time the
| greatest precautions are being taken
in order to avoid every possible dan
ger. There will be no spread of the
disease if people all over the State
are equally careful
EVERY one who is at all connected
with the delivery Of mails will be glad
to know that the department has fin.
ally decided to do away with many OF
the evils of the star route system OF
carrying the mails. 1t is announced
that the contractors must live close tC

have contracted for. Then all OF
nearly all of the drawbacks of the
Il present system will be obviated.

is very prevalent along the West

FARMERS in this section of the state
I can congratulate themselves on the
fact that they do not have the Sar
Jose scale to fight against. They
