1t, is a matter Of pride that the
municipal elections passed Off with
the best Of feeling prevailing. The
campaigns were conducted in an or
DERBY, peaceable manner. There
were but few indulgences in person
alities, though an attempt or two
may have been made to misrepresent.
The results. have left no bad or dis
agreeable effects. Every one seems
20 be well satisfied. How much bet
ter that manner Of campaign is, but
there are some, the Telegram is sorry
to say. who can not be satisfied in
any sort Of campaign unless personal
bitterness, villiication, SANDER and
falsehood are injected, and these
generally provoke replies Of like
character, replies that would NOT be
made were it not for the persistent
invitation.

POLICE COURT

Police court was again this morn
ing but an empty name. Three days
in succession without a single Of
fender is about the record. The
chief suggested this morning that in
order to keep the judicial machinery
in running order we had better have
a mock trial. So after much DELHI
Grafton we decided to have Cap. Cal
lahan arrested for fast driving. Of
ticers White and Lewis weresdctail-
ed and the Captain was placed on
trial The specified charge was
that he drove his horse from the
court house to the pump station in
a half a day. The Captain declin-
cd counsel and offered as proof that
The charges were false to let any one
in the room take the horse and
wagon and see if he could cover the
distance in half day. As no one
would brave the cold morning air,
We discharged the defendant,
If no real criminals show up we

The town ticket at Adamston was
made up Of good men and it is a pity
that they all could not have been
elected, too. But only one side
could win.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1906-01-05

The people Of Adamston yindicat-
ed southern and his administration
and endorsed the splendid improve
ments he made during the year.
But, the good work should not stop,
and doubtless Southern knows that
as well a. any one else and true to
his record will continue those inn
provements until Adamston is the
incest and prettiest little suburban
city 10 be found any wh,re.
