CLARKSBURG, w. Va, November
10.-One OF the events of the season oc-
Cured Wednesday night when the fif-
tieth anniversary OF Mr.. and Mrs. E.
B. Hursey's marriage was celebrated
by a golden wedding. Owing to the
extreme illness of Catherine Davis, a
sister of Mrs. Hursey, only intimate
friends were invited. However, It
turned out 70 be an occasion long to
be remembered. A bountiful repast
was served, and Mr.. and Mrs. Hursey
were the recipients of many handsome
presents.
Ruhl, Koblegard & Co. are throwing

The so-called ten round glove con-
test between Teddy Glen, of New York,

They did not apply for theatre license
and Mayor Thompson declined to per-

had their fun.

the Traders parlors for final organlza-
ton. The President, M. M. Thompson,
having received the charter of moor
poration Thursday from the Secretary

In the death of William H. Dawson

But little excitement exists here ow-
ing to the political landslide. In fact
many Democrats expected defeat. or
course they did not believe that it
would be so bad as it turned u
Mortimer w. Smith made a hard fight
for sheriff. More than five hundred
Republicans voted for him. Strange
to say he was defeated by the Demo-
Gratis. When the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party found there was no hope
for the county ticket every effort was
concentrated for the election of Smith,
and in this way the friends OF other
candidates on the ticket felt that all
should stand or fall together, which
meant according to the returns that
more than $50 Democrats voted for
Fleming, which had they voted other
wise would have overcome Fleming.
Republican candidate for sheriff, who
received a majority of 205, which was
the smallest given any Republican on
the ticket, the largest being 1,227, that
given Mckinley.
Many citizens Of Clarksburg eX-
pressed their opinion adversely to the
articles appearing in the New York
Journal and Parkersburg papers in re-
gard to the smallpox, as Clarksbug had
been done an injustice to crafty a
mere political within. The fact is that
the smallpox is practically over at
Wallace. The inner quarantine which
guards the camps where there are a
few cases has not yet been raised, but
the five mile quarantine was properly
raised in order to permit the people
desiring to vote, there not being be-
tween it and the inner quarantine any
cases of smallpox. There is not nor
has there been for twenty years q sim
gle case of smallpox in Clarksburg.
There are three cases of variloid at
Wilsonburg, and one case in the
try just outside of town, where rigid
guarantees are enforced, and the par
ties are now convalescent. We con-
graduate Mayor Turner, of Parkers-
burg, who has recently been here, and
knew the facts, in preventing his city
quarantining against this place.
Clarksburg will neve suffer smallpox
in her midst without quarantining the
same, and at the same time give the
true state of affairs to neighboring
cities. Clarksburg believes Parkersburg
and other cities will do likewise in case
they have smallpox among them.
