Picture Exhibit.


The Picture Exhibit held at the
Public School Building, Nov. 3rd,
4th and 9Th for the purpose of
purchasing pictures for the school
was SUCCESS in many respects.
The pictures were all Photographic
reproduction of famous master
pieces and presented most inter
esting collection of the best eduoa,
tional pictures in the picture world
while the number who availed
themselves of the opportunity to
see them, was not so large as was
anticipated, those who were there
will never regret the time or money
spent. The rooms in which the
exhibit was held were beautifully
decorated with potted plants and
cut flowers This was the second
exhibit held in the town and should
another be held here it should be
welcomed with great interest by
the people. On Friday afternoon
from 2 till 5 the pupils of the High
School gave reception to the pee
pie attending the exhibit. 1t was
held in the lower hall which was
tastefully decorated with plants
and out flowers. and draped in tie
colors of the Senior Glass, Old
Gold and Blue. Rugs were placed
about on the floor, and screens,
center-tables and piano were used
to make the hall more attractive,
while lighted lamps shed soft
glow over the scene. When the
guests were ushered in. they found
bright faced girls and boys waiting
% welcome them. On our side of
he hall was a table decorated with
embroidery, and draped in the
class oolors. Here light refresh
ments were served. After viewing
the pictures the visitors were enter
tanned with musical and elocu-
tionary program. Those taking
part were Mrs N. L Bryan,
Misses McCulloch, Steinbach,
Haptonstall and Howard. Others
entertained also by instrumental
music. The Glee Club sang sew.
eral selections. and delighted the
guests by impersonating the
"coons" in their Coon Songs"
The exhibit and reception gave
great benefit and pleasure both to
the school and to the town. 81 & Il.

result was the cession to Japan of

ICE MOUNTAIN OF HAMPSHIRE
Throughout the Hottest Days of
Simmer Ice Remains in Noun
tain Cave.

The ice mountain of Hamp-
shire county this state is one of
the greatest natural curiosities IN
the state. 1t stands on the east
ern bank of North river and is
Is miles east of Romney. 1t has
a height of 1000 to 5000 feet.
The west side of the mountain,
for about a quarter of a mile, is
covered with mass of loose stone
of a light color which reaches
down to the bank of the river.
By removing the loose stone pure
crystal ice can always be found
in the warmest days of summer.
1t has been discovered as late as
the 18th of September, but never
in October, although it may exist
throughout the entire year, and
be found if the rocks were ex-
cavated to a sufficient depth.
The body of rocks where the ice
is found is subject to the full
rays of the sun from 9 o'clock IN
the morning until sunset. The
sun does not have the effect of
melting the ice as much as con
tinued rains. At the base of the
mountain is a spring of water
many degrees colder than spring
water usually is
Very near the spring the own
er of the property has removed
the stone and erected small log
dairy for the preservation of his
milk, butter, etc. When the
author saw this little building,
late in the month of April, the
openings between the logs on the
side next the cavity from which
the stones had been taken out,
from eighteen inches to two feet
from the floor. were completely
flied with ice, and about one
half of the floor was covered with
ice several inches thick. Mr..
Deever, the owner of the proper
ty, says that butter, milk and
fresh meats of any kind are per-
fectly safe from injury for almost
any length of time in the hottest
weather. If a fly ventured in he
Immediately stiffened with the
cold and becomes torpid. If a
snake in his rambles happens to
pass over the rocks covering the
ice he soon loses his motion and
dies. In several instances snakes
have been found dead among the
rocks covering the ice.

THANKSGIVING PRocLAMA.
TON.
By The Governor.

Whereas, The President of the
United States, in accordance with
custom, has issued his proclamation
appointing and setting apart day
of festival and Thanksgiving
to be observed by all the peo.
pie of the United States; now,
therefore. 1. Albert B. White, Gov
ernor of the State of West Virgins,
do hereby proclaim and designate
Thursday, November "a as Thanks.
giving day, to be observed by the
citizens of West Virginia. Ga that
date the people are requested to
cease from their ordinary oocupa-
tions and to assemble in their vari
GUS places of worship or homes
there to devoutly thank the Giver
of All Good for His many meroies
and blessings conferred upon us as
nation, as commonwealth and
as individuals and to beseeoh a
continuance of Gods favors upon
us.
As one of the sisterhood of states
of this great country West vir.
einia has been favored greatly dur
ing the past year. Our material
development has continued and
expanded; our husbandmen have
been rewarded with bounteous
oroys; we have been spared from
pestilenoe and great disasters; our
people have been oontented, happy
and prosperous, and each and all
have abundant reason to feel
gratitude sand to abound in the
spirit of Thanksgiving. We
have been more generously favor.
than some other sections of our
great country and should be cor.
respondingly grateful.
Never were religious, educational
and benevolent institutions of our
State doing as great and benefioent
work as at present. The uplifting
of our communities
were never more active and their
results more marked The future
is bright with promise and West
Virginians are full of hope and
courage.
Under these circumstances this
annual festival and day of praise
should be even more generally OBJ.
served than on any similar ami.

Another hostage TO peace has
been given by the singing of the
treaty between the United States
and France providing for arbitra-
ton of all questions not sffecting
the honor or vital interests of each
country. There is little danger of
serious trouble b,tween the two
countries whose friendship is of
long standing and whose interests
as rule lie in different spheres.
Nevertheless there will be general
satisfaction among our peace-lov-
ing people with the treaty as we'll
as with all of the same kind which
may be negotiated with other
countries. Our civil war and the
one with Spain and the Filipinos
have served to take away from the
eyes of many of our people the
glamour of military glory. and the
scenes which are being enacted in
the far east have aided in this re-
suit. International arbitration
affords an easy and honorable way
to prevent unnecessary war. and
there is strong and growing senti
ment among Americans in tbs
favor -Pittsburg Post.
