THE BIG FAIR.

From the extensive and elaborate prep.

management of the West Virginia Cen.
trial Agricultural and Mechanical society
the thirty-seventh annual fair which Il
TO be held on the Clarksburg fair
grounds on Tuesday. Wednesday, Thurs.
day and Friday, September /, 9, 3 and
.s.will eclipse any of the former annual
exhibitions given by that organization.
The premiums to exhibitors, the racing
awards, the various and diversified
amuscmcnts which have been provided
for, the special featured attractions that
have been engaged, and the thousand
and one miscellaneous things that go TO
make mp successful and edifying ex-
Inhibition have NIL been given careful and
assiduous attention by the heads of the
different departments of the association
with the end in view of making the fair
of 1908 rs near to the high standard of
excellence as the above mentioned pros
pcct ut the present time indicates.
Tho meet will be edifying to the many
residents of the county in many ways.
The highest standard of excellence and
skill in the raising of field products and
of fruits, of the care and training of
horses, the raising of poultry, the breed
ing of fine cattle, in the exhibitions of
the products and discoveries of science,
in the products of the useful arts and
household articles, viii all tend to bind
the people of Harrison county closer to-
gether in the furtherance, upliftment
and advancement of their domestic life.
An of this is combined with amuse-
ments, sports, pasttimes and pleasures
TINT will make visit to the fair serve
a double purpose. The speed program
this year will be one of the most at
tractive in this section of the state.
Excursions on all railroad lines run
ming into Carksburg will be run on the
different days of the fair, and it is only
reasonable to believe that many people
from the central portion of the state
will attend.
Let's all take our lunch baskets and
spend the whole day when we so.

THR IupGEsHrp.

Mhe leading editorial in the Ciarics-
burg Daily News yesterday was CON
corning the prospective candidates for
The Republican nomination for the judge
ship, and It seeks 10 create the impress
sion that a hostility to Harvey w Har-
mer exists somewhere and for some rea-
son; notwithstanding that it has moth
ing TO base that effort on. How it ar
riyes at this conclusion is not stated
further than that lir. Har1ner has: de-
<lined 70 stand for the nomination
against Captain Dovener for congress,
and that, therefore, he must aspire TO
the judgeship. He has, however, over
his own signature, said he has not de-
cided either way, that is, whether he
viii or win not be candidate. That
e what he says and 1t is to be presumed
that Is what he means.
Why our contemporary should be for
or against either Mr.. Lynch or Mr.. Har-
mer Is not made clear. Moreover, no
explanation or reason is given for the
statement that decision has been made
by any one to accord to Mr. Hammer
"a small Office than that of the circuit
judge" and in this respect, so far rs
the Telegram knows, Mr.. Lynch has not
been promised the support of any par
ticular class of citizens, except those
Who may have sought him personally,
whoever they may be.
Whether the Republican voters of the
counties composing the circuit will select
either the one or the other for the Judge
ship is for the Republican voters them
selves to settle in their own way at the
proper time and so far as the Telegram
IS concerned, no effort has been made or
Is now being made by it to forcstall or
direct the selection. On the contrary, it
has been and is now willing that the poo
pie shall act in the matter as to them
may seem best, taking into consideration
the merits, character and qualifications
OF the candidates, whoever they may be.
4 ,We may, however, say that it is gen
orally understood that Mr.. Lynch is an
open and avowed candidate for the place,
and Mr.. Harmer is acquainted with his
aspirations and intentions. It is also
generally understood that Mr.. Lynch has
heretofore been a candidate for judicial
nominations in the Harrison county cir
cult, but, has each time, at the earnest
solicitation of the friends of the late
Judge Hagans and the present judge,
John w. Mason. withdrew and accorded
them a clear field. This is referred to
merely as bit of history known to
MI who at the time took an active part
IN the matter Because of this and for
other reasons. his friends will like
1y deem it but just and proper that
he should have their support in the COM
ing campaign, and not because of any
open or avowed hostility to any other
person or candidate.
In this connection. however. it is
worthy of note that Mr. Harmer, Mr..
Lynch and Mr.. Foster are all loyal party
men and have ever been in accord with
the party and to ,deprccate one
TO the advantage of another has not
been the disposition of the Telegram and
Is not and will not be. That some who
have designs against the welfare OF the
party are thus engaged is not surprising
as that is but repetition of history.

GERMAN SYRUP.

We want to impress on our readers
that Boschce's German Syrup is posi-
lively the only preparation ON the mar
ket today that does relieve and cure con-
sumption. 1t contains the specific, such
as pure tar, extracts of gum, ETC., which,
have been SO highly endorsed for the cure
of coughs, colds and consumption by the
medical congresses. The consumptiye.
whether his disease is in the throat or
lungs, must have rest at night, and be
free from the spasm of dry and raclsing
cough in the morning. The diseased
parts want rest, healing and soothing
treatment, and the patient needs fresh
air, good food etc. German Syrup will
give free and easy expectoration in the
morning with speedy and permanent re-
lief. Small bottles % cents; regular
size containing nearly four times as
much as cents. At all druggists. Oily

The mail service on the West vir-
ginia & Pittsburdg division of the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad is very inadequate
and there is considerable complaint over
the negligence of the government to
make the proper provisions on that route.
There is splendid opportunity to have
an excellent service, but this fact has
likely not been brought to the attention
of the government. At present there is
no service along that line going toward
Sutton until 1890 a. M, and in the af-
ternoon the last mail on the line arrives
here at 2:l5 o'clock. This situation
makes the service very unsatisfactory
and incomplete and is not at all in keep
ing with the large amount of industrial
and commercial business done along the
line. a train leaves here for Sutton Mt
$3.50 o'clock in the morning and arrives
here on its return at 6:5s in the even
ing. The business men along the road
say that mail on this train would prove
very beneficial in the despatch OF their
business and that it would do away with
the present Inconvenience, annayonce and
inadequacy. 1t is sincerely hoped that
the PostofTicc department will take the
matter in hand ut once and establish
mail service on this train.

HIS EXPLANATION.
Son Thought the Dentist Was Pain
less, But Found Out He
Wasn't.

"John Henry" said Mr.. Sterling
worth, severely, to his son, as he led him
by the right ear into a room in the rear
of the house, your mother tells me
that you stuck a pin into Mr.. Molal
when he was here this afternoon, calling
upon your sister, and that he jumped
up and left the house, declaring that nc
would never call here again"
John Henry nodded, says the Detroit
Free Press.
"You seem to have the facts, papa
he said.
Before l thrash you within an inch
of your life, my son." Mr.. Sterlingworth
went on, as he reached for his cane, let
me say that this whipping will hurt you
considerably more than it will hurt
me-"
81 know that" said John Henry, with
heroic fortitude.
81 also wish to know" Mr.. Sterling
worth said, "before | begin, what pos
sessed you to act in so shameful a man
ner, and to drive away the only beat
that Ethel has had in two years? Now
tell me-"
well Mr.. Molar is a dentist, and"
go on, sir"
81 will, papa. IL"
"You-you-"
81 asked him If he was a painless den

sure, and so l thought I'd experiment
l don't believe he's painless at all
papa, for he yelled"
THAT will do, my son." interrupted
Mr.. Sterlingworth. This won't be &
painless thrashing, either"
Then he went to work, and there
Is reason to believe that it wasn't.
