CALL FOR HELP

exist In West Virginia. 1t Is not
due entirely that men do not want
to work that the demand Is not
needed, though 1t Is no doubt true
that labor under any conditions IS
distressing to some. The real
trouble lies In an aversion to leav.
Ing the towns and cities, and no
more peculiar state of the human
mind was ever noted. Men cry for
work In cities and starve to death
for the want of 1t, but absolutely re-
fuse to 60 where they are most
needed, and where they could do
the most good to themselves and
their families. And this Is the very
cause OF many farmers of both the
West and East being losers this
this year. Too many young men
are leaving the farm and are seek
Ing employment In the cities. No
more honorable nor independent
calling can be found than that of
tilllng the soil, and 1t Is far better

year In that it Is to be enclosed on
land at the foot on Wells street,
generously offered without charge
by the owner, Henry W. McCCy;
president of the Farmers and Pro-

rangement will be much more
satisfactory than last year when the
main streets of the CITY were used
for the carnival with the result OF
much unpleasantness. The fire
department will meet again Friday
evening and appoint the various
committees.
We hope the city council will
endorse this action of the fremen.

We are to have a circus. This

six wagons left the city In all d.

tising 1t and the date on which 1t

The circus Is one of the best In the
country. 1t travels by rail and 1t
Is necessary to have twenty FIVE
cars In which to transport 1t, and 1t
Is such a mammoth aggregation
that 1t only visits points of the
country where 1t is certain of a lib
eral patronage.
This fact requires 1t to travel
from 5000 to 10000 miles annu,

cities and the largest towns which
are surrounded by productive terri
tory. But whether 1t be In an
eastern city or In the prosperous
town on a western prairie, the great

the immense audiences that always
greet them. The occasion will be

obstacles now encountered. The
