The meeting Saturday evening of the

elected officers were installed and two
candidates received the rite of initiation.
This is the first ritual initiation wors;
held by the lodge.
The officers which were elected at the
preceding monthly meeting to serve for
the Forthcoming year were taken through

members of the order present at the

l feel it a duty the community owes

Much depends upon the way the people

untried men, men who have not yet de.

tending to ones own business, but ev-
erything is beginning be 50 strange
around here that I feel it my duty to
ask space in the Telegram for a few re
marks and suggestions in regard to the

The business men of this community
are among the best to be found any
where. They have more enterprise than
those in many other towns in this state.
They have thousands upon thousands OF
dollars invested and they have gone %
great expense to improve and beaatify
their stores. A every one ought to
know. they have left nothing undone to
make shopping pleasant and profitable in
clarksburg. Any radical change in the
community hurts US business men more
than any one else. We buy our goods,
depending upon the conditions that sur
round us. Last fan, for instance, after
most prosperous summer, We laid in
a heavy stock, expecting to have the
largest Christmas trade in the history Of
the city. We did not know that a sud
den and spasmodic wave of reform was
to come upon our community. We did
not know then that the Democratic poll
