AHoRsE WITH BROKEN ANKLE
May Cause Damage Suit Against the
City.

One of Deck Smiths boys drove a
team to the city Saturday morning
from their home on Simpson Creek
and hitched it in front Of Lowndes'
store. About noon in fighting flies
one of the horses plunged his foot be-
tween two curb stone strewn along
there by direction of the street paving
contractors. The stone lay in such a
manner as to form small v. In try
ing to extrlcate his foot from this, the
horse broke his left ankle. Mr.. Smith
was sent for, the horse remaining there
the entire afternoon. Mr., Smith ar
rived about o'clock and sold the ami
NAL to Nathan Bartlett for $3.50, who
in turn sold him TO Billy Fowler and
he was taken out OF the city. There
is some talk Of a damage suit against
the city, though the boys own care
lessness in hitching the horse there
likely precludes the recovery of any
thing from the city. The horse was
worth $50 or $50.

CIarksburg's City Directory.

The demands for city directory OF
Clarksburg have been met by Messrs.
John b. Smith and w. Ebert Dawson,
and Clarksburg can boast OF splendid
compilation Of that sort. These gen.
tlemen, after great painstaking, are
enabled to place on sale, at nominal
price, complete directory, containing
much valuable Information about our
rapidly growing and prosperous city.
The work is complete in every par
ticular, embracing a carefully COM
piled list of names of persons and bust
ness firms alphabetically arranged, a
comprehensive compendium of the city
government, public and private and
religious and educational institutions,
secret and benevolent societies, a COM
plete classified business directory, adj
vertisements Of the leading business
Arms and much other information
useful in business.
The book covers nearly two hundred
pages and is neatly and substantially
bound. The typography Is plain, but
modern and business-like. The ar
rangement is with a view to ready
reference. The best book paper was
used, rendering 1t durable. Alto
gethcr, the mechanical work, as we'll
as the compiling, Is first-class in every
particular.
In an Introductory note the publish
ers express their deep appreciation Of
the generous patronage extended by
business men and firms, and the hearty
approval given by the public. A glance
through the directory convinces one
that the advertising patronage has
been liberal, demonstrating the high
regard business men have for the en-
terprise.
The publishers will place the dlrec-
tory on sale at the Telegram Office,
lis South Third street. Price one
dollar. The eminent usefulness Of the
directory to every citizen, as well as
the commendatory enterprise of the
publishers, should ensure the disposal
of every copy of the work, the number
of copies Of which is limited, but prob
ably sufficient for the introduction Of
such work. An examination OF the
directory, we think, will lead you to
possess one.

DR.. Craig was one of the COM

take charge of the fund for the

largely due to his activity that
so large an amount was prompt
