SPIRIT OF
PROGRESS
SEIzES ALL


Clarksburg of today and Clarks-
burg of ter. years, ago yes, five years
ago What a changed No other
city in the State has had the phe-
nomenal growth and general i'm
provement that has characterized
Clarksburg during the past five or
six years. We have advanced on all
lines Muddy streets have been re-
placed with excellent pavements.
Frame stores of the village pattern
have been replaced by imposing
structures of brick and stone, in
architectural design, beauty of fin
ish, soliditv of construction and
general usefulness equaling the work
of our largest city builders
The old slow methods of transpor-
tation about town and into the sub
urhs have been exchanged for a
splendidly equipped system of cleo
tric cars Our few banking institu-
lions of yesterday have been quad
rupled, and are among the very best
financial institutions of the state
Our large wholesale houses, employ
ing hundreds of men and women, are
not surpassed in Importance any
where. The very best outfits for
both men and women in all stations
of life can be obtained at our pro-
Cressive furnishing houses. Con-
tracts for all lines of furnishings for
homes. hotels, offices, public build
ings, etc, in various parts of West
Virginia, and even in other states.
are being closed with Clarksbug
dealers almost daily.
In short. the importance of our
city is second to few other centres in
the Middle West. The spirit of this
phenomenal growth and advance
ment is beginning to pervade all cir
lies. The time was when dime
shows, Punch and Judy entertain
ments, and the like, were considered
VI sufficient merit to attract very
good citizens, but all this is changed.
Clarksburg now has a sufficiently
large population of educated and
cultured people to warrant bringing
to our city some of the best literary
md musical entertainers the coun-
~ affords
In keeping with this spirit of
progress the Golf Epworth League
has engaged the Lulu Tyler Gates
Company of well known artists, to
entertain our people at the Grand
OPERA house on Friday evening Of
next week Mrs Gates is one Of
those excellent readers, who has
quickly won her way to prominence
on the lyceum platform, and whose
5rlents are such as to warrant keep
ing her well in the van of entertain-
ers. Walter Bentley Ball is a bari
tone singer, who is so well known in
the lyceum world as to insure the
attendance of every lover of good
music who can possibly be present
next Friday evening. Ebba Hjert-
stedt is one of those rare Scandmav-
ian musical geniuses. whose violon
has attracted crowds in the theatres
and concert halls of Sweden and
Germany. Miss Hjertstedt adds to
the attraction of this strong COM
pany. Miss Grace Gilmore is a
young American pianist of ability
and helps to round out the Gates
company in moro than satisfactory
manner.
The concert will be clean, pure
and eminently attractive and should
receive the liberal patronage of this
progressive DeOple.

Comfort for Baldheads.

Everything in this world has its
compensations, and a writer in late
medical journal conveys the comfort
ing information that baldheaded per.
sons are immune from pulmonary
tuberculosis. With another cerebral
stimulant the case is slightly differ
ent. Badness is certainly promoted
by mental application AS a general
thing, bald persons are intellectual,
or, at least, persons whose minds are
overtaxed either by study or by wor-
ry, and it is we'll known fact that
intellectual activity is promotive of
health in general It often happens
that a patient who had been bedrid-
den or an invalid for years is cured
by becoming mentally excited over
something sometimes in a moment
of time. AS the brain sand the lungs
have large arterial and nervous con-
nections, it may be true that mental
activity such as produces badness
might also vitalize and energize the
lungs and heart. We do not pretend
that this is wholly satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, and we respectfully sug-
gest the propriety Of a convention OF
baldheads to find out whether bald
people are ever consumptive, and, if
they are not, what is the explanation
of such singular phenomenon p
