THANKSGIVING SERMON
Enjoyed by Great Audience at
Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Compton Delivered Scholarly and
Appropriate discourse - Collection
of $40 for the Poor-Giyen TO socie-
ty for Distribution.

At l0:45 o'clock Thursday morn
ing, large audience had assembled
in the Presbyterian church. filling
the auditorium and Sunday school
rooms, to participate in the annual
Thanksgiving services. All the
ministers of the city, with the ex-
ception OF Rev. Marley, who had a
special service In his own church,
we're present and took part in the
services.
Dr. Nj. f. Compton preached a
strong and inspiring sermon, which
contained many notable atterances.
at was largely devoted to arraigning
the theories of materialists, atheists,
Ignostics and goddess evolutionists.
He showed the marvels of Gods
handiwork in the universe, and in
conclusion, declared that the Anglo
Saxon had been, and Under Gods
direction, must continue to be the
torch bearer of the ages, and quoted
the thrilling words of the "Battle
Hymn of the Republic"
DIR. Buchanan instantly announced
tue hymn, america" and the con-
gregation was in fitting mood to
sing il.
A collection for the poor of the
city was taken up, and about $40
was secured. This will be placed in
the hands of an organization of
young people, representing all the
churches, and by them will be dis
tributed to those who seem post
needy.
Last year this money was given to
the local corps OF the Salvation army
for distribution, but the corps is
now somewhat disorganized, being
without captain, and 1t was thought
wise to place the fund in the hands
Of more thoroughly organized
body.

How a preacher Gets His support.

Forseveral months past our read

few marriage notices from our city
pastors The facts are as follows.
The clerks of the county court say
that man, protesting to be a
preacher, hangs around the court
house Hobbies each day. from morn
ing to evening, hunting for wedding
parties. Before the candidates get
into the clerks Office to secure their
licenses he tackles them and engages
the jobs. He is not a pastor of any
church here. 1t would be in order
for the court TO revoke the authority
to marry held by any preacher who
will stand about the court halls,

of such a case before. 1t is certainly

NEW READER ADOPTED.
School Beard Decides to Use Baldwin
Reader Instead McGuffey's.

The school board has decided to
use the Baldwin reader in the pub
lie schools OF the city in the future
instead OF the McGuffey, which has
been in use during the past thirty
or forty years. That they were con-
templating some change was pub
lished in these columns several days
,go but the matter was only fully
decided yesterday.
The Baldwin Is made by the Amer
lean Book company and is in popu
lar favor all over the country. The
company agrees to take the Nc
Guffey reader in exchange for the
Baldwin for 40b OF their value. The
chance 20 the new book will be
made gradually. For INSTANCE, whcI
a pupil completes his McGutiey's
third reader, he will pass into the
Baldwin fourth reader aud so
through the whole series. In this
way, thh change will be no hardship
on the parents who have to buy the
books. The change will begin at
once.

Interesting Summsryof Railroad
Projects in This Section.
a. 4 X. a Portion of the Tidewarer
Route of Extension From
Rowiesburg to Parsons-B. 4 n. VIII
Connect at Rivesyille.

The Pittsburg Post has the follow,
ing interesting gossip 10 regard 10
railroad matters in this section:
While less attention has been given
lately by the general public to the
Wabash extension from Plttsburg
southwark to connection with the
West Virginia Central & Pittsburg
Railway, there has been no Stacking
Of interest along the route OF the pro-
posed line. One OF the latest develop
ments OF this line is 10 Yves Virginia,
where 1t is reported quiet. that the
Morgantown s. Kingwood railroad,
extending now from Morgantown
enthusiastically to Bretz, is to form
portion OF the Wabash tidewater
line. The route, IL decided on, would
giye-a more direct and shorter line
from here eastward, connection being
made more easily at Parsons, where
the West Virginia Central & Pittsburg
crosses the Cheat river. This route
would be more than % miles shorter
than the trst proposed line TO Beling.
ton While it has been reported in a
semi-otiicial way that this arrange
ment is to be effected, no definite
official Information can be be secured.
President j. w. Patterson OF the
Wabash extension lines, says the
West Virginia work is being looked
after by President j. II. Blair, Of the
Buckhannon s. Northern and the Lit
tie Kaoawha.
The Morgantown g. klngwood has
just recently placed In use the two
miles of road from Masontowu to
Brett, "A new town, where large coal
plant is now beng established. Chief
Engineer A. Spates Brady, OF the
Morgantown & Kingwood, saws that
surveys have been completed for con-
tinuing the line from Bretz, via King
| wood TO Rowlesburg, where the Bal
timore & Ohio crosses the Cheat river.
This additional construction Is expect
ed TO be completed within year
While no mention has been made OF
the extension Of this line up the Cheat
river to Parsons, on the West Virginia
Central, the rumor that the Wabash
is to make use Of the Morgaotown &
Klngwood, makes the extension from
Rowlesburg TO Parsons seem plausible.
The distane is cot much over % miles.
In this connection it Is interesting
TO note that the Morgantown Il Pitts
burg Railroad Company, OF Morgan
town, has been chartered to build a
lineDsouthwest from Morgantown to
Fairmont. Maps and profiles filed
with the county clerk OF Marion
county, show that the Morgantown
line and the Bucknhannon g. North

vile, near Farmont, where the Wa.
bash extension In West Virginia
crosses the Monongahela river. The
Morgantown & PittsburP line Will be

A WARNING
To the People of Morgantown
Much sickness Predicted this Fall,
Early Precautiens should Taken.

"OIr seasons nowadays seem to be
all mixed up" remarked NEW Do
MINIoN reporter the other day TO Mr..
W. A. Ream, our well known drug
gist. 'sThe winter seems to have
tumbled into summer and summer
into winter. 1t is stated by health
authorities that such sudden changes
cannot help but result 10 early fall
colds, the grippe and other sickness
This condition OF things is also bad
for old people, or those who have 4
tendency to any weakness or disease.
"You are right" said Mr.. Ream,
''the weather indications all point to
a cold, wet aud generally unhealthy
fall, and people are warned to Jake
extra precautions to ward of sickness,
especially the old, and those who are
already 10 delicate health.
"If / could only meet every person in
this town face to face and tell them
what a grand protection to health
Vinol is know | could convince
them so / would not have clerks
enough in my store to ill their orders.
You see, we have been selling Vinol
for several years, and every bottle is
sold on a positive guarantee that if it
does not do as we say, we will pay
back the money, and as we have not
been asked TO refund for more than
two bottles out of every hundred sold,
this proves that Vinol is successful in
ninety eight cases out OF every hun
dred.
"We never sold medicine that is so
universally successful; and yet this is
not strange, for Viuol is the only
preparation OF cod liver oil which
does not contain oil, or any disagree
able feature, yet does contain every
one of the fifty odd medical curatives
that are found in cod liver oil.
II you know OF any one who needs

tonic rebuiider OF strength, one that
will positively cure chronic colds,

and make rich, red blood, and health
in place OF paIlor and weakness, just
send them 10 here for a bottle of Vinol,
and IL it does not do them good 1t

As this invitation is broad and the
gnarantee protects every person in

Millennium in 1912.

The statement is made by proni-
neht divine 10 the west that the mil
leniun will arrive in the year 1912,
and bases his claim on the prophecies
OF the Bible, Whether his prophesy
is correct or not, time alone will tell,
but in the meantime we should make
the most of our lives, and the first
essential to this is good nealth.
A sickly person cannot enjoy life be-
cause he lacks the vigor and vitality
necessary for such enjoyment, and
consequently always feel downhearted
and depressed. 1t was for such
persons that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters was FIRST introduced fifty years
ago, and many persons today can
ascribe their good health to its use.
1t positively cures indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, billousness and
liver and kidney troubles. Don't fail
to try IL.

Farlnont Times.
A eeal that is not denied by either
party is said to have been made Satur-
day. The rumor has IL that the
West ViIginian, the Republican coun-
ty newspaper, passed from the hands
OF the l.. @. Powell and Son to the
ownership of the company recently
organized to publish a morning Re

The price, 1t Is said was IS, 000 and
Mr.. Powell and Mr.. J. e. Powell will
retain $4,000 10 stock Ia the new
company, which will be chartered
within a few days.
The West Virginian is one OF the
oldest papers In West Virginia and
for years it has been carefully edited
by Mr.. Powell, ably assisted by his
sons. 1t has long since been saying
that a rival Republican organ in Fair
mont would have rough Shedding with
the West Virginian in existence. 1t
is evident that the new company well
knew this and the first move made
by the members was to purchase the
Virginian. IL is said that another
local weekly will be bought II salts
factory terms can be arranged.
When the Times called on Mr.. Pow.
ell this morning, he was out OF his Of
fee. Mr.. J. f. Powell was present,
however, and while he would neither
afiirm or deny that the deal was closed,
be said that such move was contem-
plated and that there would be some
thing along this line to announce in
day or so.
Although the utmost secrecy is
maintained by Messrs. b. G. Williams,
Harry Shaw, Levi b Harr and
M. G. Tough, who comprise the
new company, it is understood that
they will soon begin the installation
OF new machinery and the first issue
of their paper will be made just as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Tough will be the editor, and II
the West Virglnian deal Is true, Mr..
