ST.. GLARS bakery offer has attract
ed considerable attention and brought
new customers. A discount of about
25 per cent is not to be overlooked by
the average buyer.
A NUMBER OF years ago gentle
man bought piece OF property in
Morgantown for $2400. He was
somewhat scared at the size of his in
vestment and felt some uncertainty
as to whether he would ever get the
money out of it. Some time ago he
sold it for $l2, 500 and the property
now would bring $l5, 600. The rents
would probably amount to ten per
cent on that sum.
THE South MorgantoWn bond ordi-
nance is published again to-day there
being several changes made in it since
yesterday. The proposition as it ap-
pears to-day will stand there being no
probability of further changes. The
corrections show little difference in
the phraseology and make the bonds
ron % instead of "a years. 1t is plain
and simple enough to be easily under
stood by any one. There is little
doubt that it will be adopted as i6
now reads.
THE Morgantown papers note the

sists Of two spans Of 245 feet each and
one span of 105 feet. The work of
this home firm has given great salts

pleased to record this additional mon

The company that presented Els

CLOVIS idea to send one of his compa-

neighbors and is anxious that our
people understand him so they will
know when he sends a company here
it will be good and good play will
be assured.
If the predicted collapse in bust
ness is to come we hope it may be
DELAYED a long time. Should there
he panic it would take considera-
bic time for it to reach Morgantown
and then it could not do a great deal
OF harm. Our people are not in debt
much and those who are have hedged
until nearly all could square up on

~ to do so.

may need q word of explanation.
The Kansas Legislature, in recog-
milton of the patriotic deeds of her
soldiers, voted to buy 800 tents for

nish the same free of charge. These
tents were to be distributed by the
adjutant general of the Grand Ar.
my Of the Republic, as requests or
acquisitions were made by the Off.
cers of the various state reunions.
Mr.. Collins, the general manager OF
the Baxter Syringe reunion, applied
for 300 tents last January, before
any one else had applied. Last
month he was informed that he
could have no tents as they had
been promised to other reunions.
