CHANGE oF AppREss-when
The Teachers institute.

This week CIarksburg has the
pleasure of entertaining the annual
Harrison county institute for teach
ers. The institute is an event Of i'm
portance in school work and is al
ways looked forward to with much
happy expectancy, both by its mem
bers and the residents OF the place,
in which 1t Is held.
Able instructors have been secur-
ed and the state superintendent has
prepared and had printed an inter-
esting program in pamphlet form,
with much information relating to
school work. No pains have been
spared by the school authorities to
make the institute profitable and
pleasant to all It's members and the
many visitors who are wont to be
present.
The success of the present lnstl-
tute, therefore, now depends largely
upon the teachers themselves. They
will profit by Its sessions according
to the interest they take. That all
are eager to listen and learn the
Telegram has not the shadow OF a
doubt, and 1t is It's hope that the
present institute will prove Itself Of
great usefulness and have far
reaching effect for good in the cause
of education.
On behalf of the citizens generally
OF Clarksburg the Telegram extends
the teachers and instructors a most
hearty welcome and hopes their So
journ here this week will be a pleas
ant period of their lives.

CURED to appear in police court.
The witnesses we're ready to give

PAVING GOES,
TO JOE FUCCY
At An Adjourned Session Held by
the City Council Last
Night.

The city council held an adjourn
ed session Monday night to award
the contract for the paving Of Balti-
more, South Chestnut and West
Main streets aad Carr avenue. Four
bids were read as follows
H. c. Brooks & Co.. heavy foun-
dalton, s1s,755; light foundation,
s15,195.
Joe Fuccy, heavy foundation, $751;
1920; light foundation. $17,174.2O.
Daniel Henry & Co., heavy foun-
dalton, $19,1ss.6O; light foundation.
s1S.621.sO.
clarksburg Improvement Co.,
heavy foundation, $1S.544.20; light
foundation, s1S.O99.20.
After Councilman johnson had
made lengthy speech opposing the
awarding of the contract for paving,
the bid of Mr.. Fuccy being the low
est was accepted and he was award
ed the contract. The bond will be
sixty per cent OF the amount.
Superintendent Edward Doyle
stated that he had taken some of the
councilmen out to the city's fine new
lake, commonly known as the most
frlghtful cesspool in creation. AZ
ter taking good look at it they
came back. In the near future 1t is
probable the city will have the lake
fenced in and will give it an appro-
pirate name. Perhaps, enough en-
terprise will be summoned to start
a small summer resort at that point.
provided the state board of health
and the approaching grand Jury do
not spoil these plans.

The antI-spltting ordinance meets
with general approval. but is seems
ridiculous for the council to take
such action in view of the fact that
in some sections hog pens are al
most on the sidewalks and have an
odor so foul that passersby are all
but knocked down. Perhaps. 1t
would be well for the health OF the
community for the city authorities
TO get busy in abating hog pens,
when they are found to be nuisances
IKE one or two are on Monticello
avenue. 1t seems a little bit out of
the ordinary to limit the filthy actions
of man and give hogs unlimited
privilege to spread filth. Why not
look after the hogs, too?

The Monument.

1t is gratifying TO realize that
the Grand Army ladies' are meeting
with splendid success in. their I'M
dertaking to erect a soldiers monu-
ment here. The final result of
their efforts will he lesson in pa
triotism every time eyes are turned
toward the monument. Many per-
sons have contributed literally to the
cause and still others ought to share
in It's glory. The shaft is to be
placed on the grounds by September
20. but 1t is not likely the unveil-
ing will take place for some time
after that, rupless the necessary
funds have all been raised.
The unwilling will be an auspic.
ious event, attracting thousands OF
visitors to the city as prominent
speakers from other points will he
on the program. Possibly, the Pres.
ident OF the United States will he
the orator of the day.
In view of all this those who have
not yet contributed to this fund
should do so at once. The contrl
buttons may be left at the Telegram
Office and receipts will be given
therefor.

1t seems the Parkersburg Dispatch
News has been driven to insolence
and into a mighty fury because the
Telegram asked It to explain why it
had no political alliance with the
leading representatives OF the Re-
publican party in West Virginia, or
to state whether it would continue
as Republican paper. A simple
explanation by 1t would have clear
ed away what its own utterauce i'm
piled. that Is, that 1t had some mind
of its own not to be a Republican
paper any longer, but 1t lodged In
stead, which is enough for the Re
publican papers to base an effort on
to read II out Of the party. How
ever, the Telegram counsels forbear-
ance yet awhile, in the hope that the
Dispatch-News will make a satisfac-
tory explanation. If It so Wills, it
can be very useful to the Republican
party, and none who desire Repub-
llcan success want It to Withdraw
its influence.
