PAPER
SAYS PLAY IS GOOD
''when the Harvest Days are Over
Wen Received In the States
Metropolis.

The Wheeling Register had the
following to say Of the appearance
in its city of when the Harvest
Days are over" which win be pre-
sented at the Grand Opera House
tonight.
There were two more large audi
ences at the grand opera house yes
terday for the performances of
When the Harvest Days are Over
and the beautiful PASTORAL drama
was wen received. The part OF
"Hez Huckins" is admirably adapted
to the display of the abilities Of Fe-
Tx Haney as a delineator Of rural
comedy parts. 1t fits him like a
glove. He manages to keep the au-
dience in good humor by his droll
sayings and his eccentricities Of act
ion. The play is given under the
personal direction of the author,
Neil Towney. who also plays a prom
inent part. that of Robert Tray
ers." The support is excellent, and
the special scenery realistically por-
trays village and farm life.

GOOD SINGING
SPECIAL FEATURE
OF the Con Church Revival Meet
ings Which Continue
Successfully.

The good singing marked yester-
days efforts in the revival meeting
at the Con Church Wednesday. At
the afternoon meeting the time was
mostly devoted to prayer for the
widening and broadening of the
meetings now in progress. This
was followed with a brief conference
among the church workers present.
The usual interesting young peo-
pies revival service was held at 4
o'clock. The great advantage of
pious parents and the careful Chris
tian training of the young were the
points developed in this meeting.
A large audience was present at
1880 and an excellent meeting was
held. The song service was follow
ed by testimony meeting which be-
came SO interesting that the pastor
found 1t rather difficult to change
the preaching service. The Lynch
Brothers. quartette sang very eff
fectively Though your Sins be as
Scarlet they Shall be White as
Wool" The subject of the sermon
was Returning to God" and the
preacher urged all to come back to
our Father to whom we all owed
our love and duty. Two manifested
desire to begin the Christian life.
The usual evangelistic meeting
was held this afternoon.
The subject of the sermon to-
night will be the Joy of Chris
tian Life" All are invited to come
at 1880 o'clock.

OUT OF SIGHT
WAS THE MERCURY,

The temperature these days is a
matter Of more or less concern to
most people, whether they have
Thermometers or not. One OF the
amusing incidents in this connection
took place at the FagIn blacksmith
shop this morning, Mr.. Fagin and a
we'll known gentleman got into lit
tie argument as to how the mercury
stood last night. The caller at the
shop said his thermometer showed
four degrees below zero. Fagin
said his was i've below. The reply
came: I know mine was down to
four and as my thermometer only
measures four below 1t might have
been down out of sight.

Advertising Clarksburr.

The clarksburg Board of Trade
through Its secretary. Mr.. Charles
E. Lamberd. publishes a very ex-
haustive article in, the February
number of Industry, a magazine Of
commerce and finance, published in
Pittsburg. The article treats ably
on Clarksburg as an Industrial, com
mercial and financial center of West
Virginia and in considerable detail
describes the marvellous progress
made the past six or seven years. 1t
directs attention in a. most convinc-
ing maner to the great natural and
artificial advantages Clarksburg
holds out to the industrial
and commercial world and
makes a very strong bid for
factories. The article viii doubt
less prove Of great value to this city
and in the early future results will
come from It surprisingly large to
those VIII ohave no faith in exploiting
the advantages OF the community.
The board and Mr.. Lambers are to
be congratulated upon this splendid
effort to advertise Clarksburg.

a Poultrr Erperf.

Comparatively few men are ex-
perts at "fggers." Fewer stl
possess a scientific knowledge OF
poultry. When the two are com
bined in the chief talents Of a man
10 a remarkable degree, he certain
" must be wonderful person, a
genius.
The Telegram points with pleas
ure and pride to the Hon. William
Hay Lewis. the secretary-treasurer
of the clarksburg Poultry and Pet
Stock Association, notwithstanding
the fact that he is a Democrat. He
is a banker and exceedingly pro-
fcient in figures. He has aocomp-
lished much good work in the bank
ing business and It is said to be a
fact that he is appealed to by all Of
the banking men. business men and
bookkeepers in cases of perplexity
when figures appear to lie and bal
anees are misnomers. They say that
in adding up a column OF figures Mr..
Lewis merely places the column in
horizontal juxtaposition with the eye
and marks down the result. Prob
lens are worked out at a glance.
Difficult banking questions are ans
wered instantly.
And with poultry 1t is the same
thing; for this remarkable person
can without the slightest display of
hesitation descry game rooster two
blocks on. He can tell one whether
the egg originally came from the
chicken or the chicken from the
egg. He knows why is a feather.
He can count his chickens before
they are Matched. In these
subjects, the Hon. William Hay is
really phenomenal. Not only is he
skilfull, dexterous, expert, adroit,
apt. handy, quick, deft. experienced,
clever, ingenious, gifted. shrewd,
sharp and scientific, but he is artis-
tic in all that pertains to these two
important branches OF human knowl-
edge. In the poultry Industry, es-
pecially is he particularly artistic.
He raises hens that are nearer per-
lection than any one else. He wears
linen buster with a grace that
would make the goddess of fashion
fan from her pedestal in a spasm Of
envy.
All this brings us down to our
point. The Telegram has shown
that the proper care and culture Of
the chicken is matter that vitality
concerns the welfare OF the commun-
ity. A man so well informed and so
talented as Mr.. Lewis is a valuable
asset in any community If only for
the beneficial work he may do in the
interests of the poultry Industry. Mr..
Lewis should be reelected the sec
retary-treasurer of the poultry asso-
citation. Its continued wonderful
success depends largely on this. Who
knows but what Mr.. Lewis may be
able to produce a new variety Of
Easter egg Of such artistic beauty
and exquisite quality that it will
revoIutionize the Easter tastes and
fashions? Who can tell what ines
Unable achievements he may ac-
complish? By all means let Mr..
Lewis continue in his present posi-
ton.
