Every property holder and tenant
should take the greatest of pride in
cleaning up and keeping their holdings

dition. Health is happiness. We have
the reputation of having the healthiest
climate and the best water in the state.
Let US keep that reputation by all
means.

Fairmont is in the midst of a great
religious revival. 1t needs it. The bus
mess houses, even the saloons, which
are usually classed as the foes of relig-
ion, close one hour day to permit their
employees to go to church. If they sue
coed in driving Satan out of Fairmont
the old fellow will lose one of his strong
est Notifications in his earthly battle
field. But he cannot be greatly discon-
certed so long as he keeps his clutches
on Clarksburg. -Morgantown Chroni-

Running newspaper is just like run
ming a hotel, only different. When a
man goes into hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish
to one side and wades into the many
d shes that suit him. 1t is different
with some newspaper readers. They
find an article occasionally that does not
suit them exactly and without stopping
to think it may please hundreds of other
readers, make grand stand play and
tell the editor how a paper should be
run AID what should be put into it.
But such people are becoming fewer
every year.
