Mr.. RIDOUI'S DISCOVERY.
The Real Richard Carvel House ;

Mr.. Grafton ID. Ridout who has re-
Gently purchased the old franklin
property on Cathedral street, declares
he has purchased a portion of the real.
original aud only Richard Carvel
House. Mr.. Ridout bases his claim
upon the fact that workmen have un-
earthed an old stone with the in
scription "R. O., 1745. :" "R. c. is
said to stand for Richard Oarvel, and
1745 for the year the house was built.
If this be true, which seems prob
able, then Winston Churchill, in
writing his famous novel that did for
Annapolis what a certain beverage has
done for Milwaukee. got his houses
mixed. The -midshipman novelist
w. c., located the only, true and au-
thentio Richard Carvel House, all
wool and yard wide, on Shipwright
street, where the Sisters of Notre
Dame have the convent.
Mr. Ridout's new discovery dispels
this illusion. He says the stone shows
by priority of date and discovery of
the "'R. O." cut thereon that the
Honorable Richard Carvel lived, moved
and had his being in the old Frank
lin house on Cathedral street, and not
in the convent on Shipwright street
A lively discussion is about to en-
sue, and the controversy is open to
all. Proof is what is wanted, proof
as to who is right and which house is
the house with big I.
The work of tearing down the old
Franklin property was begun recently
for the purpose of erecting on the
site two or more modern dwelling
houses. One of the workmen uDearth-
ed the old corner stone of the original
brick dwelling, and Mr.. Ridout has
the stone on exhibition at his store
on Church street. Some of the ''old-
est Inhabitants and their name is
legion. say the "R Co on the stone
are the initials of Richard Cowman,
and that the house was built by him
and not Richard Caryel

officials of various packing concerns
and disinterested spectators and several

had any such intentions, they did not
show it today.

With hundreds of excursionists
coming to Clarksburg, it would seem
that some mode of entertainments
ought to be provided The hlGh-
wood excursion brought in the
neighborhood of seven hundred per-
sons. These visitors had nothing
more to amuse them than to pace the
streets and look at the high build
ings. This done, what next? Moth
ingl And the nothingness Of 1t was
enough to drive them to drink. II
thew were able to get it, which it is
doubtless officially stated they could
not. Wonder why it is that there
can be nothing along the amusement
line for them. Not even a band
concert in the park or on the falr
grounds, or the public square 1t
looks as if the railroad and the city
together could devise something that
would be attractive and result in
making these excursions popular

The Redwood excursionists gave
evidences of progress in West Eir-
ginia-even in the mountain DIS
tricts. They were much more neat
lv dressed than those of few years
ago. and their demeanor was more
refined. Again, they appeared to
have ample money for their needs
1t is reasonable to judge from them
that that section of the state is go
ing onward along lines of substan-
tial advancement, and that clvlllza-
ton has taken deep root among
them.

From the appearance of many who
came in from the east on the Sun
dav excursion to Petersburg. 1T
may be inferred that the modern
way to enjoy real good outing IS
to have plenty of booze on board.
They certainly had their good share
both within and not yet taken But
that does not especially detract from
the good character of West Virgin
ians. as one can see this on a much
larger scale in all the centers OF
population in the older states. Such
outing appears to have become what
one may properly term an Amerl-
canisrn. and in American fashion are
they enioyed.

IF Ran Stalnaker has really been
decided upon for governor, the pub
lie has the right to suspect that they

they surge next? Some say in the
fathomless depths of political isola-

tomless pit is Gaping for you, and
there is no reason why you should
not plunge precipitately, since you
have got to laundering around so
near the abyss.

ADVERTISING MEDIUM.

Big events advertise the places in
which they are held. just now the
events in American history and GER
New Hampshire, place almost un-
heard of by even many American
readers. The peace conference IS
being held there, one of the biggest
evnts in American history and GER
tainly one that eclipses all in the
history of Portsmouth The name
of that place will be on the lips OF
the peoples of the earth foF-years,
and will be given a prominent place
in history.
While not so important, yet it is a
fact beyond dispute, that the big an
nual fairs here are great advertisers
of Clarksburg Thousands of per-
sons gather here from all the car
dinal directions. They come, they
hear, they see. They leave and re-
member Clarksburg forever. They
come again the year following. Ihey
continue to come every year. Many
come more frequently than once a
wear. The fair makes them month
", weekly, daily visitors to Clarks-
burg.
In view of all this the merchant.
the business firm, who fails to ar
rest their attention in some way
during their visit at the fair usual
" loses ont, for they examine the
official bulletin of the fair, which
contains the advertisements and
cards of most of the leading business
men and learn just where to go to
do their trading. With this high
authority before them year after
year, they become accustomed to
looking for it, and are disappointed
if they fail to find the names of
some they have seen there for years.
Also in their examination of the bull
letin. they have curiosity as to what
sort of progress Clarksburg has
made. That leads them to search
for new names, new advertisements,
new firms. If they do not find the
former ones there, they conclude
they have gone out of business, or
are not keeping up with the times in
presenting their trade views to the
people. If they find no new firms
represented. they at once decide that
Clarksburg has made no progress
and say the city is at a standstill
or is going backward.
There are numerous other sug-
gestions along this line to aid the
merchant in choosing how to adver-
tise or whether to do so at all or not
but sufficient have been given to
convince all hustling business men
that they must keep their names an
businesses before the public, if they
would attain the highest success, and
among the best mediums is the Off
cial program of the fair, which
reaches thousands of people.

The West virginian exhibits
great anxiety about not receiving the

does not seek to avoid showing itself
into the West yirginian's handsome
