popular girls and Uniontown at

be notable one in society circles.
EDITORS sometimes get into trouble
as did the Missouri editor who
thought he was writing very nice
obituary notice In speaking Of a
respected old lady in his town he made
his paper say: 'sShe was devoted
Christian until about four years ago,
when she joined the Presbyterian
church.
On account of the long run on the

the ordinary engines used to haul
these trains have been replaced by the
large type Of engines, similar to the

up of the B. & O. trains now, and
what ones are not new have been re-
painted in the recently adopted coll

err until January, and then com
mence lengthening very gradually.
The shortest day from sunrise to
sunset occurs December 81, when
the sun is nearest the earth, but
when, instead of shining perpendi-
cularly upon our globe, 1t sends its
rays down obliquely, and thus
causes the atmosphere to be cold.

If the rural delivery of mail shall
prove success as it now gives prom
Use, the credit will be due to the late
William l.. Wilson, who made the
first experiment in this direction. In
1896 while Postmaster General, Mr..
Wilson conceived the idea OF making
an experiment of rural delivery in a
section which is strictly an agricultu
raj community. He chose Jefferson
county, w. Va, his home county one
of the best agricultural communities
to be found anywhere.
IT may be that the finding of the
dismembered body down the river
near Monessen will solve mystery
in which Morgantown was interest
ed. The body is now thought to be
that of Mr.. Dill who left here two
years ago and was never seen again.
1t is thought that he was murdered
for money as he always carried a
great deal of it with him being a
cattleman and needing much curren
CIV in his business.
AN exchange very pertinently re-
marks that hundred things happen
every week that the newspaper man
never sees. He does the best he can,
keeps his eyes and ears open, but he
is only human being neither omnis-
Gent nor omnipresent. You often
wonder why this thing was not pub
lished and maybe you say the newspa-
per has its favorites. There are peo-
pie who are thoughtful enough to send
what news they have to the newspa-
per Office or invite its reporter to come
where the news is.
