L we should not we don't pretend to keeE
pace with our neighbors Of Fairmont

The district institutes held in the

change experience and get each others
ideas:
The town of Weston has "Jack

The traction company ad.ertlses
for bids to deliver $40 tons of steel
rails from the depot to the points
where they are to be used. Also

IT all depends ON the man whether
or not his advertisement will pay.
He may be sure it will be dead loss
unless he gets back of it and projects
1T forward with all the energy at his
command. AS well might we expect
electric cars to be propelled without
the aid Of that subtle fluid as that an
advertisement will forge to the front
as winner without the intelligent
help OF It's author.
A LADY yesterday subscribed for
the Weekly New DOMINION to send
to gentlemen in the West saying
that she knew If he read it for time
he would move back to West Virginia
and she wanted him to come. The
good lady also said she had re ad it
ever since it had been published and
there has not been an Improvement or
a new enterprise that the New Do
MINIoN was not in the lead in advo-
eating. We very much appreciate
her good opinion and will try to always
deserve it.
IT has been suggested that the
State purchase the historic Mounds
vile mound and erect reservoir
thereon for the use Of the prison, it
being argued that with strong wa
ter pressure insurance rates in the
prison would be materially decreased.
When Mr. McFadden, owner Of the
pile, was asked about the matter, he
replied that the mound will either be
sold or obliterated within the next
year. If the State does not purchase
it he will lay it off in town lots which
will be placed on the market.
PROF. MATTHEWS. Principal of the
Gibson schools, near Connellsville,
was arrested yesterday on an informs
ton made by James Gribbon, pa

PENDANT did commit an assault and
battery upon the person Of deponent's
child by grabbing said child by the
throat and beating his head against
the wall; throwing him upon the floor
and holding him pinioned to the floor
by placing his knee upon said child's
throat" The case is attracting much
attention in school circles, and the
township Directors will make it a
test case.
THE secretary of the Alumni Asso-
citation of West Virginia University
is engaged in collecting information
for an Alumni Record which will be
published in book form in the near

them are occupying positions of i'm
pOrtance and influence. As introduce
tory to the Record there will be his
torical sketchee of old Monongalia
Academy WOODBURY. Seminary, and
the University thus making an educa-

widow of the late j. r. Moore, the
great teacher, will write the sketch of
old WOODBURY. and it is hoped that
Judge John w. Mason, formerly
student and teacher in Monongalia
Academy, will write OF that historic
Institution. The book will be one Of
much interest.
AN old gentlemen who recently Wis
tied this Office thought the New Do
MINIoN had rather too much to say
in commentator of Morgantown.
