A NOVEL CHARITY.
The Public School Children Of Union
town Give 43 Bushels Of Potatoes
to the Poor.

An idea was recently suggested in
Uniontown that was meant TO enlist
the school children In benevolent
matter. 1t was that each child should
on certain day bring at least one pr
tato to be given TO the poor. The
matter was carried out and yesterday
evenings News Standard tells of the
result in the paragraphs below:
"Potato day at the Uniontown
public schools was success In every
particular. The promoters of the
scheme were simply taken by surprise
this morning when the great Irish
tubers began To pile up in the base
ment of the school house. The inflow
was so great that it was thought that
halt ought to be called before the
building became full UP with the
choicest specimens of the potato hill
The barrels placed for their reception
were soon filled, for nobody ihad any
idea that the contributions would ex-
coed Is bushels, but instead the
amount reached nearly 43. and extra
ones had TO be skirmished in line.
The day had been advertised we'll,
both by teacher and patron, and all
the pupils were anxious when morning
came TO hurry off TO school with their
share OF the gifts. twas amusing to
see them going with package or
bundle under their arm, and often d
pocket or two bullying out with some
Of the articles. Macy jokes were
cracked by the youngsters; and the
older citizens took part in the fine
display Of generosity by commenting
on the utility Of the scheme. As the
pupils entered the school they handed
their packages over to man in wait
ing in the hallway, and after receiv-
ing thanks, journeyed on to their
rooms. Two pupils took a bushel
each, half bushel was sent by well
known patron of the scheol, and the
rest of the measures ranged from a
single potato to peck. Every tuber
was large and the best that could be
secured.
The plan to raise this food for the
needy of town was first suggested by
Rev. q. j. Gongaware, who laid the
matter before the school board This
body promptly acted and consented to
carry out any plan that would enhance
the interests OF the relief society, as
long as 1t did not interfere with the
school work. The school teachers ac-
cordingly bottled their pupils, and
everybody concerned Is delighted with
the success of the affair.
Events of this kind have moral
effect on school children, as IL teaches
them to become generous and kind to
the poor. In ascertaining the source
Of supply 1t was learned that all the
pupils but one in No. 3 room earned
their potatoes in some way or another.
Up to noon to- day II bushels OF po-
tatoes had been distributed among the
needy and the rest will be given out
as needed or to others who come with
In the line Of charitable gifts.

Well Deserved Compliments.
Fairmont Index.

The concert given at the Normal
auditorium last evening by the mem
bers of the faculty of the University
School of Music, of Morgantown,
was highly enjoyable and they were
greeted with large audience. Mrs.
Hester was the vocalist of the eve
ming, and she rendered a number OF
high class selections. Miss Sitter,
the violinist, completely charmed
the audience and she was loudly en-
cored. Miss McMurphy, the plan
ist, who is quite favorite with Fair
mont people, was well received. She
is talented musician. The render
ing of THE Lady of Lyons" by
Miss Bussing, whose appearance is
always looked forward to with de
light by our people, was most
pleasing feature of the evening. She
was heartily encored.

ing, and were greeted by large au-
dienee of both ladies and gentlemen.
The Guy Bros. are very popular
here as evidenced by the large audi
enees they commanded. Their or
chestral music was exceptionally
good, the overture was well staged
and first class, and the jokes new.
In the second part some very clever
specialties were seen. The musical
artists, Heating and Forestner, gave
pleasing performances, which pre-
sented a varied and emusing feature
by the colored intruder George r.
Guy. We can safely say that this
gentleman has no. peer upon the
minstrel platform to day. His clear
cut witicisms and clever acting is a
good performance in itself. The six
Guy brothers in their separate roles
are star artists, and like good wine
improve with age. Their entertain
ment gave unbounded satisfaction

RURAL DELIVERY.
Hon. A. B. Smith Talks of Its
Extension
In West Virginia-He Says Ii is Great
Success and is Proving
Quite Popular.

Hon. A. r. Smith, well known as
the former editor of the Tyler county
Star and the Martinsburg Herald, and
now connected with the postoffice de-
partment at Washington, was visi-
tor to Wheeling a few days since.
Mr.. Smiths special work has been the
introduction of free rural delivery
In conversation with News man he
said:
THE free rural delivery system has
been the greatest success initiated by
the postotfice department in years.
Everywhere it has proven popular and
almost everywhere it has proven a
tremendous financial success. The
postoffice department has established
free rural delivery routes now in near
ly every state and territory of the
Union. | have just finished putting
on two very fine routes in the eastern
parts of Ohio and Brooke counties.
We expect TO start one soon from
Moundsyille back into the populous
portion of Marshall county. We now
have four very fine rural delivery
routes starting out from Fairmont,
one from Philippi and numerous other
points of West Virginia, and every
West Virginia route, with single
exception, is paying.
sin practically every case in which
free rural delivery has been instituted
there has been an instant increase in
the postal revenues. Farmers who
and that they can. get daily paper
delivered at their doors are quick to
add to their newspaper subscriptions.
More letter writing is done. People
come out of their shells, so to speak
and begin to brush up against the
world. 1t is a tremendous education
al force. In the course of a very few
years | expect to see practically every
farm house in the United States with
in easy reach of daily mail. 1t is
coming faster than most people real
ize."
