TRADES DISPLAY.

Clafksburg has done herself proud
on the two OF three occasions in the
matter of trades displays, eclipsing
all other places in. this respect as well
as in all Others, when she takes the
notion. So far above par excellence
has she been in this regard that her
fame really knows no bonds. OF
course, there has been on these oc-
casions more or less outlay, but find
the Telegram one that says it was
not worth the price. Who it there
to say that such occasions were NOT
amply rewarded in the time follow
ing? VA q
This is germane to the inyitation
of the general committee Of the big
Fourth Of July celebration to all
the business firms of Clarksburg to
make a display this Fourth that will
b be even more gorgeous and grander
than any heretofore. Such a feat
ure would rebound to ethe glory Of
stiie city and be Of great Commercial
.bensff Some have signified their
iptsafipn tosenter the parade with
'colcss Aiying They are. it is stat
ed. already busy on their floats and
when the Fourth arrives there should
be miles Of these. 80
Only a few days now remain but
in those great deal can be done and
a big showing be made. Throngs
of people will be here from all parts
of the state to hear the greatest
orator of the state, as well as the
leading patriot, and there will
scarcely be another such oppotuni.
ty in the lifetime of the present
generation to advertise Clarksburg
Think about it; think quickly;|
then act. All come out in line
with ! the grandest display ever chron-
icled.

ness to many here. The deceased
was OF happy disposition and made
many friends. during his residence
of several years in Clarksburg.
Identified with manysof the city, in
dustries and having takenst the ini-
tiative in many industrial and COM
mercial adyancements, his death is
deplored from these standpoints az
well as the loss of his presence and
companionship, Possibly, no citi-
zen of the County took greater inter-
est in the deyelopmsnt Of its resours
ces and the bull ding up Of its indus
tries, and no reside Of Clarksburg
has been more active in boosting his
resident city. He observed q lib
erality and generosity that were for
the city's betterment All no time
was he averse to drawing upon his
funds, time and resources for the
general good of the city, especially
in advancement along lines that
brought the city to greater greatness

THE DOG ORDINANCE.
q -. elele.4.

IT, : 49, slie..Aiss : :.
While such commotion is being
raised about dogs evidently with
out much, if any, foundation why
Is 1t that the ordinances on the. sub.
jset are paid no attention to but
something new along that line, for
which there is positively no ordi-
nance presumably so carefully look
ed after, even to the extent Of over
exertion. The ordinance Of the
city, as the Telegram sees them, ex-
pressly says:
l.e assessor shall include. in his
assessment all dogs over four weeks
old owned or kept within the cor
porate limits, giving number owned
by any person and The name of the
6wner, and distinguishing between
male dogs and female. Any person
inhabiting . house, and allowing
any dog to be or remain at,efiabout
such house, shall be deemed the own
er Of such dog for the purposes Of
this section.
There shall be levied a tax fol
the privilege of owning or keeping
any dog, which shall be included in
the tax bill of the owner OF keeper
Such tax shall be one dollar onieacf
male dog and FIVE collars on each
female. -
Each dog so LISTED and assessed
shall wear collar and the assessor
shall furnish to the owner of each
dog so assessed a suitable tag, which
tag shall be attached to the collar OF
each dog. And it shall be the duty
OF the chief of police to cause each
dog concealed from or not listed by
the assessor and not bearing said TAG
or upon which the owner or keeper
refuses to pay the tax hereby levied,
TO be killed."
There are many well-bred dogs in
the city and the owners thereof
prize them highly. In addition the
city is oyerrun with nongrels, and
in many cases no owners can be
found. 1t occurs to the Telegram
that an enforcement of the ordi.
nance would bring about a condition
OF fewer dogs and would raise the
standard Of dogs. Certainly. ther
would be far less danger and risk
and there would be no need to have
mad dog scares. OF course, before
dogs are killed Under the ordnance
they should besimpounded. and dus
