Trouble is being had with the Greek
section gang at Barnhart station.
Yesterday morning the sheriff's Office
received message to the effect that
the Greeks had made threats against
the life of Section Foreman M. ".
Cooper, though so far no actual vio-
lence has occurred. The trouble is
over the refusal of the railroad COM
pany to provide passes for the men
after having discharged them.

Missouri with 90 head of mules pur-
chased for himself and other Connell
farmers. At least, he claims to have
bought the mules-although the hur
ried arrival of some mule hunting
Missouri sheriff would scarcely sur
prise Toms friends in this meek o.
the woods.
The Leader is we'll aware of the
presence of the usual number of jack
asses at Weston whose only concep-
tion of joke is stupid mischief and
of laughter an idiotic bray. There
fore it is not surprising each week to
run across lot of paper trash in its
item box at the postoffice.
Having read the annual newspaper
reports from Milton Of the gold mine
discovery in a chicken s craw, R. M.
Powers declares that Ire has an entire
flock of chickens that are more re-
markable than this over doomed fowl
at Milton. Unlike any feathered
bipeds he ever saw before they will not
eat corn, but pass it by as though it
was SO many yellow pebbles.
Whether they do not know what it is,
or have taken some dislike TO it, he
DOESN'T know. Wheat they will eat
with avidity.
The directors of Weston school dis
trict were out Monday with surveyor
J. R. English surveying the 1O-acre
strip extending from Washington to
Water street on the north side of the
school property, purchased by the
district from Hugh Macarthur. For
the nominal sum of $40 Mr.. Nc
Arthur gave quit claim deed to the
district for this property, and small
tax must also be paid. The strip lies
next to M. J. McDaniel's lots, and
has been in his possession and use for
several years. 1t is valuable acqui-
sition for the district.

MORE ABOUT
HARRISON co,
by J. T. Cottrill.,

= lie
After reading the original bound
AIRY OF Harrison County by Col
Henry Raymond, we thought that !
little. sketch of Harrison county
would be of interest to the many
readers of the Telegram.
Harrison county was created ont
of Monongalia in 174s. 1t was
named for Benjamin Harrison. once
the governor of Virginia. and
father of President william Henry
Harrison. The following counties
have been formed either in whole or
IN part from Harrison county !:
randolph, Wood, Taylor, Braxton.
Lewis, Jackson, Marion. Gilmer
Pocohontas, Peasants, Richie. Bar.
6our' Doddridge, Writ, Calhoun.
gpshnr, Roane, Tucker and Web
ster
The first pioneer within present
limits OF the county was John Simp-
son, who in 1864 established his tent
at the mouth of Elk creek. His
settlement right included the fair
grounds. The first county court
was held at the home of George
jackson, close to the town of Buck
harmon, on the goth of July, 1884.
and adjourned to meet at the house
OF He2ekiah DAWSON, in Clarksburg
on the third Tuesday in August.
1874. The officers were: Presid-
ing Justice, John P. Duyal. !:
County Clerk, Col. Benjamin vii
son; Sheriff, William Lowther; Sur
yeyor, William Raymond. Daniel
DAWSON pre-empted the land on
which Clarksburg is located in l772.
Clarksburg was established by law in
October 1886 and William Carpen-
ter, John Myres, William HAMMOND.
John McAlley and John DAWSON
were appointed trustees. Clarks-
burg was named after General
George Rogers Clark, distinguish
ed officer of the Revolutionary war.
The first Jail stood on Main street.
near where the Presbyterian church
now is, and the court house on the
opposite side.
Iron and sale were made in the
county previous to the year 1920 5y
Judge J. G. Jackson and Col. REM.
Wilson. The Northwestern turn
pike was made through the county
lin 1886. The B. & o. railroad
reached Clarksburg the summer Of
1856. The names of patriots Of
early Clarksburg familiar to most
all Of US, and are still in the city and
county, and are ready to say in the
language Of him who wrote the Dec
laration of Independence, 1--WE
pledge to each other our lives, our
fortunes, and our sacred honor. for
the city and county's best interest. =

Woman.

Woman" said the old codger
during one Of his meditative spells
is a perpetual paradox, a chronic
conundrum without an answer, an
unknown quantity possessed or un-
expected possibilities, a perennial
prize package Of peculiar potent
alities, a conventicle OF character
istlc contradictions and an amar-
anthine aggregation of attributes
which are alliterative. She is a
mans greatest earthly blessing,
and the cause OF most OF his misery
She is the chief inspiration to the
achievements of all that is good,
grand and glorious in this world,
and at the same time a labor saving
device to help make a fool Of HIM
self. She soothes his tiard nerves
with the COO of her gentle voice,
but she has the last word in every
controversy with him-and Incl
dentally about 81 per cent of the
proceeding conversation. S h e
brings him into the world, and a
few years later talks him to death.
Most of mans troubles is caused
by women, but so deity does she
pile the load on him that whenever
his burden of trouble is lifted he
wanders uncasily hunting for more,
otherwise there would be very few
second wives. She will cheerfully
60 to the stake for the truths sake
and lie about her age without even
being asked. She will grow weary
of an indulgent husband, and will
cling unto death to a man who
beat her regular. She will break
her heart because a man does
what she don't want him to do,
and love him all the better for so
doing. She scorns all advice in
the selection Of a husband, but
takes two other women along to
help her pick out a hat. The less
actual comfort to be obtained
from a thing the more enjoyment a
woman gets out Of its possession.
At 10 she is a young woman; at
Is. if still unmarried, she is a
girl. She will face the grim scep-
TIE Of death without a tremor and
swoon at the sight of a mousse
