AS MEMORIAL TO LINCOLN.
Congregational Churches, Sabbath
Schools and Endeavor Societies
Asked to Observe Feb. IL.

New York. Jan. 6.-The American
Missionary association has issued All
appeal to the congregational
churches of the country to observe
Sunday, Feb. 9. as memorial of
Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is
Feb. II. The churches, and especially
their Sabbath schools and Endeavor
societies, are urged to emphasize
Christian patriotism.
Abraham Lincoln" says this ap-
peal was born in the mountains of
the south. where schools and
churches have been established by
this association, The negroes have
grown into great multitude of more
than 100000, among whom this as.
ISOLATION has planted its institutions
and missions. Through it's mission
aries the colored people are being
trained IN shop, on the farm, in the
school and church and home, for safe
citizenship and Christian responsible
lty. President Lincoln urged the kind
and Christian treatment or the In
dians. The negro and Indian depart
ments OF missionary work carried on
by this association are therefore nat
urally suggested by his name.

plate sinking is not yet determined.

EXPECT NEW SHOPS,
Fairmont Figuring on Something New
From Ii. n O.

FAiRMoNr, Jan. 6--The rumor that
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany intends to carry out it's plan
OF erecting shops in the lower yards
at Fairmont is again ahoat It il
sail to- be the company's intention
to erect these buildings here and do
the class of work that il being done
at Grafton, yet not on as extensive a
scale. The rumor seems to have a
solid foundation. This much is
known to certainty, that the com
pany sees that their yard room here
was rapidly becoming too small for
the amount OF railroad business be-
ing done here and few months ago
they purchased several acres more
of ground in the lower yard 1t was
either purchased to give them addi
tional yard room or to give, them
sufficient ground on which 20 erect
their railroad shops.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY
Will Hold Its First Meeting on Tuesday
Evening.

The Choral Society of the UNIVERSE
ty begins the second term of its exis-
tence on Tuesday evening at seven
o'clock, in the Chapel. And it would
be well that many of those who have
not sought its advantages during the
past three months should avail them
selves of these rare privileges.
A choral society is not a literary
society; it is not place where few
participate In the work and are bene-
fitted by it. Instead, it is an organi-
cation for purposes OF individual ben
eft aud pleasure, for personal instruc-
tion and endeavor 1t matters not
whether you are gifted with a musical
voice of rare sweetness or possessed of
ordinary vocal power. you are welcome
among the members, it is your Irivi-
lege to identify yourself with the
work.
During the past college term the
society has had success and a fair
recognition by the people of the Uni
yersity. But it Is believed that the
people Of the town are comparatively
uninformed as to the opportunities,
and that our churches and church
choirs have failed to take the priv.
leges of this school of training The
church choirs cannot afford to over
look this point. For the opportuni-
ties for choir training are necessarily
matter of Importance with us. 1t
has been impossible for the chors of
the churches to take adequate train
ing. Demands upon the time of the
leaders as well as the members have
limited their training. Hence it
ought to be thoroughly realized that
the Choral Society is at the present
time the only school in which the in
dividual can so freely prepare FOR choir
work or become more perfect ia it.
1t is suggested that you ought to
attend, that you ought to bring your
friends with you that all the plans of
the work may be fully understood and
realized

SENSATION AT GRAFTON.
indictments Returned by the Grand
Jury for Shooting afFray.

GRAFTON, Jan. 6--The grand Jury
this morning returned two indict-
ments against Engineer Samuel II.
Martin one for shooting Prosecuting
Attorney b. f. Bailey in his office,
last November, with intent to kill,
and the other was for similar at
tempt at the same time and place on
the life of his wife Eta b. Martin.
This news will come as surprise, as
the shooting of Mr.. Bailey was sup
posed TO have been accidental as
gathered from his statement at the
time. TT Bailey was the attorney
for Martin in a divorce suit for sepa-
ration from his wife, also in a $40 900
damage proceeding against Editor
Somerville for the alienation of his
wife's affections. The trial will be
called for next week and promises

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.
Number of Sales of Real Estate
Being Made.
Monday is Big bay with Special Com
missioners- Hilarity Club Property
Sold County Court Meets in Regu-
lar Session.

There were number of judicial
sales OF real estate made on Monday
in front of the Court House. The
most important sale to be made is
the one of the Hilarity club house
and grounds. Frank Cox has the
matter IN charge. The sale began
this morning and will not be closed
until this evening. There are about
sixty acres connected with the club
house and the price which Il will
bring Is expected to be good one.
Clarence b Ollie has to sell
about $50 acres of the Daniel Ken
nedy land which lies a short dis
lance from town. This includes the
home farm of Kennedy. Frank Cox
in addition to the Hilarity holdings
has a forty one acre tract of land in
Union district belonging TO the es
tate of the late Francis Ross.
5. f. Glasscock is selling thirty
acre tract belonging to the late
James Houston on Bakers Ridge.
The crying of these sales has been a
feature in front of the court house
to-day. The bidding has been rath
er lively on some of them.
The county court met in regular
session this morning with all of the
members present. They have con
siderable business to transact and
may do some things of much public
interest. A petition for a bridge
from High street to South Morgan
town will probably be presented to
them at the present term. 1t has
been largely signed.
George Baker is acting in the
place of Frank Cox in the sales
named above. None of the pieces
of property mentioned had been dis
posed of as we 90 to press this az
ternoon with one exception. The
Hilarity Club was knocked down to
DR. S. S. Wade for $4,000 at two

River and Harbor Bill to be
Taken up.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The mem
bers of Congress have nearly all re-
turned to Washington, and are in
readiness for the re.opening of the
season. The accumulation of bills
on the calendars of the two houses
has been very large, but the indiea-
lions are that there will be second
avalanche the coming week. The
measures now before the law making
body are largely of private charac-
ter and many of them were before
the last Congress, and failed to pass,
but the public bills, of which there
will probably be an unusual number
are yet to be introduced
As heretofore stated the rivers and
harbors committee will be among the
first to have an appropriation bill pre-
pared for consideration. During the
coming week notice will be given of
the hearings to be given by the CON-
mittee, and the work will be fastened
as rapidly as possible.
All the appropriation bills are under
consideration by the respective COM
mittees, with the view of having
them put out of the way at the ear
Hest practicable moment.

A GREAT NEWSPAPER.
The Pittsburg Gazette one of the most
Progressive Publications In Exis-


Since the present proprletors as
sumcd charge OF the Pittsbnrg Gazette
a transformation In the character of
the paper has been effected. Ultra
conservatism had characterized the
Gazette for many years. Now it's
chief characteristic Is progressiveness.
Much money is being spent to keep 1t
10 the forefront of the country's most
enterprising publications, and the
way the circulation has increased un-
der the new management must be
very gratifying to those directly in
terested.
A record has already been made by
the latest Sunday paper 10 this field
the bona tide circulation approximates
so, 000 The only explanation of this
Is found 10 the superior character or
the exclusive features Of the Sunday
Gazette. The management logically
reasoned that the public could be per-
suaded to buy the new paper Ia pref
erence to all others only by offerin-
something better than the other Sun
day papers contained So they reso-
lutely set about obtaining high priced
talent wherever il was available, till
now the Sunday Gazette's staff is the
talk OF newspaper people everywhere.
Both writer's and artists of high re-
pute are contributing to the pages Of
this interesting publication every
week
The engagement of Josiah Flynt to
investigate the "Under World was a
characteristic stroke ON the part OF
the Gazette. Mr.. Flynt's series of ar
ticles on the "Offieiai Protection OF
Vice In Pittsburg and Allegheny" has
proved the greatestest newspaper sem
sation of years. The series appeared
exclusively in the Sunday Gazette.
