his bench some distance away, he
seemed to be held by Gils prying eye.

aghast, zone had better. leave" Hav-
ing thus justified himself he disappear

In the poor little rented room from
which he had escaped sat his wife,
Martina, with two children; and Gil
came prying about, wondering how
many weeks he had best wait till he
ran off with her, or took her without
running off. Martina was calm and in
different God Wills" said he.
After time her third baby was
born. 1t was a poor place for baby
to come to-two chairs, board bed
and a few pots on the brasero; and
the other children somewhat soiled. So
the youngster, having endured 1t a
week, began to pine The cobbler put
his head in at the window, peered all
about, and said: '1t is going to die"

She put the baby In, and leaving the
other children in the beans. took the
burden under her arm and sauntered
out by hersef toward the graveyard. 1t
was a happy morning; and the baby
had gone to heaven. Everything was
dreamy and cheerful; she saw some
queer shoesl in a window and stopped
to look, the coffin resting on her hip.
In the plazaeit was pleasant, so she sat
down and stared at the sky, might even
have taken a nap, but band went by.
She started up and ran to see what 1t
was, leaving the baby on the bench
surrounded by trees, fountains and
church towers. Why. that was queer
band, and there was a baboon bowling
from the top Of something. Her face
was full of ebsent- minded interest. and
her jaw hung a little down. The baby
would wait; she ran round the corner
to see where the band went, and yon-

tract.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. IL
Governor White Saturday sent to the
State printing commission his veto Of
the award to j. G. Upton, of Hunt
ington, Of the State binding contract
The contract was awarded to Mr.. Tip
ton week ago at his bid of 1879,
which was the lowest received The
governor states his disapproval of the
proposition submitted by Mr.. Upton
In lengthy communication, in which
he reviews at length Tipton's failure
with former contracts. He attacks
his character as responsible man;
charging that he has no plant with
which to execute the contract, and
designated his bid as "tricky." 1t is
the warmest document issued from
the executive office for long time.
The Charleston Typographical Union
has also fled with the commission a
protest against awarding the contract
to Upton, charging him with refus-
ing TO pay workmen employed by him
two years ago when the printing and
bidding contract was awarded to him.
The commission has re-advertised for
bids which will be opened December
9th.

ried at High Neon Wednesday.

The fortunes of two well known
and esteemed young people OF this
place were united at high noon Wed.
nesdBy December 18th when Mr..
William S. John and Miss Estolla
Cox were quietly married at the
home of the bride on Peasants
street. The ceremony was perform
ed by DR.. A. M. Buchanan.
There were no attendants, and
only the members of the two families

The bride wore satin gown of blue
and white and carried white roses.

A Farmer Editor.

The editor Of one Of the exc hanges
is also somewhat OF a farmer and IN a
recent editorial has the following to
say:
1.-The newspaper is an editors farm.
The reading space he sells to sub
scribers at so much per year. The
advertising is cash rent space to mer-
chants who cultivate it to their ow n
liking. Ii he were to grant "potato
patcn" free to everyone who is 10 eed
or one he would soon have no land left
for himself and the charitable institu-
tion whose members are seldom found
on subscription list, would, sooner
OF later be compelled TO appreciate the
fact that an editors "God bless yout"
does not pass current as circulating
medium on Saturday evening when
the hands OF the office must be paid.
Let US assure "eharitably' inclined
citizens that it is bad aste to be con-
tinually asking for potato patches
from newspaper which they do not
patronize themselves, and which they
either have to borrow or steal to find
out whether their request had been
complied with. The conclusion we
wish to arrive at and the impression
we wish to make, Is that a ewspaper
is real, live business inyestment--a
stiff oposition-which could not
keep its head above water for twenty
four hours ON faith and love, nor for
minute satisfy Its hands on pay day
with the glorious promise OF happy
hereafter. -Ex.

BOARD OF TRADE.
One Needed at Morgantown Every
Day.

Every day instances are noticed Of
the demand for board OF trade at
this place. Postmaster J. P. Fitch
receive many letters from persons
and business firms making inquiry fol
business opportunities or manufacture
ing sites.
DIR. Fitch usually refers these to
business men who are interested in
bringing enterprises to our city. Mr..
Geo. G Sturgiss, has had four COM
munications Of this character to an
swer in the past week.
All this but illustrates the urgent
need of a Board OF Trade for this city.
All our neighbors who make any pre-
tensions to industrial progress have a
board of trade to advertise their re-
sources. Fairmont has it, Wheeling
has one very well organized. King
wood with one tenth cur population
and one hundredth of our business
has a board Of trade.
Soon Granville and Dellslow will
organize and go after the industries
that ought to be secured by Morgan
town, il she had an organized body To
make her resources known.
