been much more prevalent among the colored PEG
Pile than among the white people, but the situation
is such that there need be but little fear. If any,

him at the recent election.
There could be no more charitable or graceful
act at this time than Christmas donations to the
poor and especially the poor unfortunates in the
poor house. True their temporal wants are pro.
vded for in substantial way, but there are many
dainties and useful things in the way Of clothes
very acceptable and serviceable. Then, again, tie
fact that they had been remembered would bring
them Joy. Other cities are making donations Of
this kind. Why not Clarksourg ? While there is
no organized effort here where there is will there
is Q way, with but little trouble attached.
The city health officer is energetic that he
dare not con6ue himself 70 the sanitary conditions
OF the city. and. Therefore, dabbles into outside
matters-such rs the street railway line and the
kind OF rails 70 be used. He alse embodies in his
health report recommendation or suggestion that
all connections be underground For the benefit

ground, but one end will be. We trust this will
satisfy him.

worth and public spiritedness of two concerns,
namely the Pine Grove Manufacturing and Land
Improvement Company and the West Fork Oil and
Natural Gas Company both of which have done
much to upbuid the city. Free sites by the first
named company are great inducements. So is
cheap gas for fuel by the latter company superb

ticians is largely artificial. and is SIM
ply partisan campaign thunder. No one
cares to cut down the representation
of the Southern states in congress sim
ply because they are Southern states
but every man in such state as Wash

his vote IN a national election only
