APPLICATION WILL BE MADE 10
COMING LEGISLATURE FOR CITY
CHARTER.
PROMINENT CITIZENS COME HERE
AND CONSULT ATTORNEYS
ABOUT IT.
Opposition Loses Their Fals. Prestige
By Revelations of Campaign and WIN
Not Be Able to Muster Much Force
Against It.

Prominent eitHans were mere Monday
from Salem consulting attorneys on tae
question Of applying to tae legislature
for a city charter for Salem
The application viii be made early in
the session. which will begin in Jan
aary and viii be backed by many Of
the most prominent business men Of
that town. Extra efforts win be made
to carry the measure through.
Salem applied two years ago for
city eaarter but the movement was dc.
feated after long fgnt. It was shown
BY those favorins the charter that the
own mad then a population Of about
900. or more than 1000 required by
law, and the opposing side in their cen
'us placed their figures at something
over 1000.
It is claimed that Salem has prosperei
since that time and grown in popula-
ton 50 that there are now over $500
people in the proposed boundary.
The fight against the caartr before
wa because of an optional wbisley
clause. but, when that Is fully under
stood, It win BE- PLAIN that that claus.
is mot harmful, b,cause Of the fact that
the people themselves under the propos-
"a caarter. must decide whether they
will nave wet Or dry town. Taey can
vote whislsey down. If they do not wand
it AMI in that way the whiskey clause
would not be effective.
There are many reasons wiy Salem
should have city charter and suca an
instrument viii be Of great advantage
in the growth and development Of the
most hustling place in the county out,
side Of clarEsburg. which has expanded
50 magnifcently since we procured
city charter. All recall what slow.
sleepy place Clarksburg was before the
cty charter was granted and all are
1cquainte,i with the unprecedented
growth Of the city. which began in al
It's greatness as soon as The city charter
became operative.
Why viii It not act tae same way
vita salem? Why should there b. any

The Decstreect Skcwl.

Last Friday evening, at the opera house, the Ophelusian Circle presented to large and happy audience the mirth provoking farce, The Deestreect Skew
 Mt tmberS of the Circle, aided by nu- m 'rous talented friends. assumed the various roles. The fun began with the meeting of the Seho I board, when appli- cants for the position of teacher in the s;ho"l at "Hucklebcrry Korners" pre-. s'nted themselves. Tie board. in con s'deflng the claims of the various ap- pllcants, expressed a most laudabe de sire to administer the finances of the | school In d thrifty and economical man. her. In pursuance of this virtuous in- le"t'en, they sueee ded in tngaeing n teacher at s9 low wage that the rake oil was entirely satisfactory. Their disregard of pati tmeutary avs in con ducting the I board meeting was .ghly shocking to the well trained club wo- m-n who made 70 large part of the audience.
 Later came the school in session. wi the teacher, who .'boarded round, " duly ln-talled and welding her rod of authority. The children were there dii our old acquaiHtances The bad boy with his paper balls, the giggling gifl and the cry baby; little brother held- ing on to his sisters apfOn-strings; the lisping girl, the twins. the teachers pet, and all the old familiar crew, with their amusing pranks and questions. The term closed with au old time school exhibt.on, given before the chairman of the school board and various visiting ladies There were spet ches, compositions and songs by the children.
 The "Burnin Deck" and "America' c me on Ill grand style, aud the Bible story brought cut ancient history in a truly, instructive manner. Then the teacher invited the lady visitors to C ntr,bute to the pleasant occasion, which they did in a way not soon to be forgotten. At the close the chairman of the scholl board expressed his ap- prova, in speech of su Il emphatic enthusiasm, that little brother was fairly scared into spasms-ahd sister had most trying time.
 The company was trained by Miss Eva Bing, who has gwen "The Dees- treect Skuie" with success Ia many neighboriug towns.
 The specialteS of the evening were reading by Miss Bng, piano solo by Miss Prewett, and voca duet by Mrs. David Hatcher and Mrs. Henry Pet tuS
 A handsome new piano lately in. stalled by the liberal managers of the opera house, added much to the enjoy ment of the audience.
 The sum realized makes a very well come addition to the treasury of the OPhelousiau Circle.
 Tse members hold themselves much indebted to the friends who so kindly sisted then, and to the generous audience which showed such hearty appreciation 0t their efforts.
