The Club Offer Magazines.
How many have received the maya.
zines included in the West virginlan's
club offer? The writer has received
Spare Moments and the Mothers Mag.
azine and we really appreciate them.
Spare Moments is Just what the
motto under the title indicates, "a
Magazine of Inspiration for the Ambi-
tious of Both Sexes" and while it
might not suit the lover of merely
light fiction, yet is contains some good
stories and lots of sound sensible ar.
ticles on sensible subjects.
The Mothers Magazine is all any
one could wish In such publication.
Contains Ga pages Gas large as many
ten cent magazines). covers. in colors.
Good stories. Good articles, good read
ing not only for mothers but for the
whole family as well. Don't see how
so much is given for so little money.
Senator Reeds Speech.
While Lone Star has been distribut-
ing his boquets to Clarence McElrresh
and many other deserving West Vlr-
ginians not even forgetting Landis'
bloodhounds. We have looked in vain
for some appreciative notice from this
splendid writer of the great speech OF
Hon. Stuart F. Reed at Pittsburg
Though we have not the ability to say
what We think and what this speech
deserves yet. like the poor widow we
may add our mite.
No patriotic West Virginia paper
should have failed to print that speech
and no patriotic citizen fail to read It,.
1t made our heart beat fast to read it
and warm glow of patriotic fervor
to thrill through every fibre Of our
beings to think that instead of being
ashamed of the Little Mountain
State" or our birth we should feel
proud of the great commonwealth of
West Virginia in which we live. No
longer little in any respect but in many
ways great. All who did not read this
speech should hunt up their paper and
read it. 1t is no political harangue /
promise You.
What Allied the Editor? He rubbed
Fritz's Fur the Wrong Way.
The great debate at the Hoult liter
airy. society wherein was to be decid-
ed the fate of the Fairmont bridge
/ and who should build It was not pulled
OFF Thursday night according to pro.
gramme. The weather being rough
and few present it was laid over a
week, but will probably not amount
TO much as interest in the subject
seems to be on the wane.
ANShei luSleSS lIle HbltullOu tasted
long enough to get Fritz into trouble
and the slight mention OF the subject
in Tuesdays paper caused the editor
to tread all over the Dutchman's corns
and bunions. In fact the editor seems
to take Fritz more seriously than that
sawed of Dutchman does HIMSELF
OF course we don't doubt that the
editor might get after Fritz nor do we
doubt in the least his ability to make
things very interesting for that abre
Waited Teuton. but we do seriously
doubt the efficacy of the proposed rem.
edy to accomplish the desired result
! Now truth to state the editor will
nowhere find in any of our writing
where We stated that the city alone
should build the bridge. We said the
subject had two sides. This was be.
cause we had been shown some judi.
cfal decisions bearing on the case and
had been led to think that the money
