, those OF us who are pie bfters hope
that the season has been favorable.
\ THE low price of Steel Common
cannot be understood by many people
and some of them who earlier in the
game refused to believe that it
would go lower have purchased ex-
perience at a rather high figure.
SOME of the window workers of town
state that they do not expect the To-
cal houses to begin work before the
first Of December although 1T has been
unofficially announced that they are
to start on the fifteenth Of October.
In the first practice game at Little
w Arlington the Varsity could make
but one touch down against the scrubs
and had much trouble In getting
through the scrub line at all times.
The team is lighter than it has been
for years.
| FINAL work has started on the troll
ley line which is to connect Union
town with Pittsburg. 1t won't be so
| very long until work will have started
on the trolley line which is to connect
Morgantown with Pittsburg.
ANOTHER fire has visited Dunbar.
The loss was $4,000. This is the

without protection but steps are to
be taken at once to provide against
fur her occurrences Of this sort OF
th az.

In some cases the rates have been
raised over last year. The prices Of
former years have disappeared along
wits the rise in every thing else.
INVITATIONS have been issued for
the marriage of Miss Nellie Sterling
and Murray Dlckerson OF Fairmont.
The event is to take place on Octo-
Der seventh. The young people are
well asown and very prominent in
Fairb Mt.
IT is claimed by Chief Engineer
Brady of the Wabash that his road
don't care if the Grafton council did
take its franchise back. The road
will go ahead and won't mind little
opposition now and then.
FISHING is said to be good above
lock II. Some fne bass have been
taken there recently. A party that
started to 60 up there in boat had
TO stop below as they could not get
their boat from the end Of slackwater
to the dam much less get it over the
dam itself.
FALL millinery openings are at
hand. 1t may be that the ladies Of
town will be better locking after they
don the new creations but there are
many of the young men who think
that they don't need anything more
to add to their charms.
The first chestnuts of the season
have reached town. They were sold
out quickly and every one who likes
the nuts made rush for the place
The man who had them could have
disposed of great many more had
they been available.
WE are pleased to know that while
Col. Fast has engaged in business in
California and will be absent at least
a year he has not given up his home
in West Virginia and il his health
permits he will eventually return to
this place.
A HALL has been rented by two
young men and they will shortly an
nounce the opening OF a dancing hall.
They expect to have two dances
week and will get competent in
structor to teach those who want to
learn how to dance.
DIR. S. V. LEIGH who has finished {
his first years passionate at Charles
ton has received letter from many
prominent members of his congrega-
tion congratulating him on the sue
cess which has met his labors in the
field this year.
FRIDAY evening is set for the hear,
ing of the charges which have been
brought against Chief Price by a
number of people of town. A hall
should be provided so that every
one may have chance to hear the
matter discussed.
S. H. BOWMAN thinks that the
Augusta county matter will come
before the next session of the legis-
lature. The scheme will never carry
while the constitution is as it is. IT
the people who are in favor of the
plan can succeed in having that
instrument changed they run some
chance of seeing their hopes real
lied.
ALL the moves made by the b. IL
o. with reference to the line from
Confluence to Cameron made it look
like they intend to build the line
before great while. Some people
hove expressed the opinion that the
line will not be built at present but
the railroad people go ahead they
mean business and that quickly.
The attendance at the University
did not reach the 700 mark for the
first week as expected by many but 1t
went to about 100 more than were
here at the Same time last year. The
problem which must be solved by the
authorities is how to keep the old
students here. 1t is stated that the
average student does not stay more
than two years in the University.
The registration of students has
been going slower than it went dur
ing the first few days as only the
odd times can be u tilted for this at
present Those who come in late
have to pay an extra fee to square
themselves for the delay. This is
worked against the faculty as well
as students and professors are dock
ed when they are not here to start
with the rest of the push.
OCCUPANTS of the sheriff's office
had a nerve-racking experience yes
terday. The wire leading to the
