Our base ball nines are keeping the

to have some hard luck.
We are having few slight rains, yet
springs and wells are getting very low and
the b, & O, railroad will have to haul

The womens' Aid Society had a box

A Jew clothes dealer has began the
foundation OF a large clothing store opposite
the Terra Alta Bank, which will be a boom
Tor our town. five only had beer saloon
we would soon come to the front.
We do not see why some one does not
put up cider mill in our town since We
are all craving the beverage aud there are
mountains OF apples wasting and no mill.
nor could better place for mill be found
than right here az Terra Alta.
We hope that when some of our farmers
(who have apples, etc. to waste) bow
down to pray the Lord to give them so
much they will remember the poor aud
give them chance TO save that which
would otherwise rot on the ground.
We had lively little talk with a crowd
OF our school teachers during the Institute
who were all Republicans aud they made
the statement that our Government is the
best on earth and that combines and cor.
poratons were essential TO the welfare of
the poor, and as am usually about nine.
tenths crazy or contrary q don't know
which, jumped up on a box aud gave
them Lime Kiln Club speech in which
agreed with them that we had good
Government but since so many OF Col.
Bryan's predictions have come true
thought that our Republic was growing into
arislocracy. also asserted with my
mouth from ear to ear that the poor people
oil America were doing more hard work
Tor their subsistence than any people in
existence and that quite number of
Italians OF this place had already said by
their actions that even Italy was superior
TO America and have returned to their
native land. also told them that our
Preston County Institutes used TO be a
grand success, but now they arc like
politics, a few professors seem to want to
monopolize the situation by opening up
their safety valves and letting OF a little
superhuous gas about some trip they have
taken, or In reference TO some journal or
some normal school. and instead OF the
institute OF to day being a school OF tram.
Ing 1t is merely bore on the teachers and
1t takes quite an effort TO even keep them
present. Why not give the teachers
chance TO manage the affairs themselves
and we will assure a grand success.
