! AND OTHERWISE

A citizen of Fairmont was here
Thursday and he was amazed when
he read from Mr.. Harmeriss speech
that Clarksburg lad managed her
waterjworks business so as to havea
debt Of only $1,000. Fairmont's
debt for her waterlvorks is $3.50, 900
and she has an authorization to
spend US much as $2e5, 900 for this
class Of Improvement. Fairmont
has not half the manufacturing in-
dustries that are to be found in
Clarksburg. Fairmont is located at
the meeting place Of two rivers and
mo- dam was needed, yet her debt is
$1s0,000 for water works improve
ments, while ClarEsburg's officials
have managed to getalong with $47,-

that Of Fairmont.

b Paste it in. yourhat that the peo-
pie of Clarksburg are not going to
take a single backward step this
year. They all want the city to go
forward, except avery few who are
so Jealous Of the success OF Others
that they would sooner lose all they
have than see their neighbors enjoy
u fair amount of prosperity. But
as we have said the great majority
are going forward in the march and
the next step forward they will take
will be the overwhelming electionof
Coffman and the rest of the Repub-

this ticket because it represents
progress. If you are not in the
procession, be quick and get in at
once.
The colored people were not to be
misled by the hypocritical friend
ship the News SO fervently shower
ed upon them several days at the
beginning of the campaign. The
colored people have far more intelli-
gence than some suspect and they
can as readily detect the falsity Of
the friendship of some as Others can.

party that threw the shackles off'of
them and gave them American citi-

Mr.. Zombro was the close adviser
and staunchest supporter of Mr..
Mills in his Prohibition movement
to organize this State. His sudden
change of heart in throwing down
his party and affiliation with the
Democratic committee is SO far un-
accounted for. We all have the
right to draw inferences from his
inconsistent actions.
The defamer Of men. and espec-.
ially Of the colorcd man, has sud-

solicitude for the welfare of the col

When Rev. ]. H. s. Ewell of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church of Alexandria. Va.

mony Miss May Lyrene Parrish of 80 I
street northeast and Mr.. William Irwin
Brooke, jr., of Rockville. Nd. at the home
of the minister in Alexandria Tuesday
evening" the event. 1t is said. marked the
elimination Of pretty romance. in which
an attractive young telephone girl and
prominent young man figured as the prin-
cipals.
The couple had determined to keep the
affair as quiet as POSSIBLE, but in spite of
the precautions they had taken to insure
secrecy the fact leaked out. The young
lady has been in charge of the telephone
station at the Arlington Hotel for some
time past. before which. it is stated, she
had been stationed at other hotels OF the
city 1t was at one of these, it is under
stood. that she first met her husband.
During the courtship that followed 1T Is
stated, the telephone line between Mr..
Brooke's home and the hotel was brought
into frequent requisition. Mr.. Brooke. it
is stated, urged that the prospective bride
agree to an immediate marriage. She.
however, postponed the nuptials from time
to time, but last Tuesday afternoon Mr..
Brooke went to the Arlington Hotel about
o'clock, and when the young lady had
finished her work for the day they went
to Alexandria, where the marriage was
performed.
Mrs. Brooke reported to her desk at the
Arlington this morning and stayed until
shortly after 10 o'clock. when she had ar
ranged to be relieved. AS she left the hotel
she came by the desk and said goodbye
to Clerk Brest and others.
1t is stated that Mr. and Mrs. Brooke
will begin housekeeping in new residence.
which Mr.. Brooke has purchased for his
bride, in the neighborhood of 10th and U
streets northwest.
! Mr. Brooke is well known in Rockville,
where his family has resided for years.
