One Day Institute and Horti-
cultural Society in
Session
APPLES AND GOODROADS
Orleans Had Very Successful Meeting
Best Ever Held-Their Pro-
grams Were Interesting

The joint meeting of the Farmers
Institute and Horticultural society
which met here Friday was not so
largely attended as il ought TO have
been, although at the afternoon session
there was preceptable increase in
numbers.
The principal topics was apples,
orchard soils and good roads which
were brought out very forcibly in good
practical talks by e. S. Bassett OF Fenn-
willie, on "The Michigan Apple" A. l..
Hopkins on "Orchard soils and their
cultivation" and by Gen. T. A. Ely Of
Alma, on "Good roads and how to get
them;" Mr.. Bassett urged upon the
fruit growers and farmers the advis-
ability of raising and producing the
best apples and showed specimens of
variety which brought very high prices
because they were cared for and made
ready for the market in a systametic
way. The farmers of Michigan could
by careful cultivation raise as fine fruit
as any section of the United States.
A. l.. Hopkins in his speach said
much depended on the soil, cultivation
and spraying of the trees in order to
obtain the best results, one thing was
certain good fruit could not come from
trees where the roots were water soaked
TO much OF the time, good drainage for
the orchard was necessary. T. A. Ely
gave good talk on good roads and
considerable discussion followed each
address, many good points being
brought out, among those who took
part in the discussion were Walter
Reeves, A. o. hummer, NJ. J. Demon
ist, II. j. Leonard, w. ID. Hall, John
+. Kohn and r. b. Cowles.
w. b. Reed and Bert Rummler gave
selections on the piano and Mrs. J. HI.
Armstrong and Mrs. l.. M. Berry, each
sang solos. The Orleans Institute was
held on Saturday in the Maccabee and
Cleaner hall and their was large
crowd present at each session. Joel
Palmer was manager and the program
was specially interesting with plenty
of music, reading, question box discus
sions and general discussions.

Spirit Of Harmony Prevails
Interest Is Increasing AS
Meetings Progress
EXCELLENT SERMONS
The Power of God is Working
old Fashioned Revival is
Looked For

The union revival services which
began in the Congregational church
Monday night are we'll attended and
the interest in the work is increasing
nightly. A large chorus of singers
occupy the rostrum every night and the
songs are inspiring. On Monday night
Rev. G. w. Maxwell, of the M. E. church
preached, followed on Tuesday nighH
by Rev. /. s. Bussing of the Church Of
Christ and on Wednesday night by
Rev. Edrie Collins of the Congre-
gational church. Each of the pastors
gave excellent sermons bringing out
very forcibly the fact that all persons
should get right with God and come in
close touch with the teachings and the
life of Christ and that the only way to
do it is TO make a start toward the
kingdom of righteouness, and endeavor
to live the Christ life.
A warm and cordial spirit of har-
mony prevails and many professed
christians are re-consecrating them
selvelves to greater activity in the work
OF the master. The present indications
are that it is unnecessary for paid evan
gelists TO be brought in to the pulpits
to stir the people, our own pastors can
do the work if they have the hearty
support of their church members.
1t is decided to continue the services
at the Congregational church this week
inssead of changing to the Methodist
church, ..-.---.,.-.--....-.-.-.-..

new YEAR
OF the Chinese is to Be Oh
served by Local Celes-
tails Tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a real "otf-day'
for the Cinnamon here in Clarksburg,
for they will then celebrate their cal
endared New Year and the observa-
ton will be carried out along pecu1-
iarly their own. They will not bother
the white brethren and do not expect
any bother from the whites. This
will be the chief festival occasion Of
the year for the celestials and they
of the almond eyes who make their
living in Clarksburg will do what
their brothers do in other cities
they will not work and they won't
bother anyone with bills or by asking
for business. They will stay by them
selves and attend to their own af-
fairs. All the delicacies that can be
obtained which are delights to the
Chinese palate, will be prepared for
the delectation OF the Clarksburg sons
OF the empire of China. Beginning
on the same date the celebration in
China continues a whole week, but
over here the chinks only require
one day in which to celebrate the be-
ginning Of the new year as they have
1t doped out. They don't want to
lose much time over here for the cost
of living is too high, but If the Amer
icanized celestials were back on
their own soil they would stretch ont
the celebration to cover an entire
week. Over here they prefer the E
Pluribus Unum dollar to an elongated
period of celebration.

A, Maccorkle voted-for Watson and
chiiton-read series Of questions he
put to Mr.. watson and the latter's
answer. The purpose of these ques-
lions and answers were. of course,
to show that Mr.. Watson was not a
Democrat OF the kind that Mr.. Bland
thought a United states senator ought
to be in representing West Virginia in
the United States Senate.
The questions and answers were
as follows;
Do you favor election of United
States senators by popular vote?
question the wisdom but will sup
port 1t because the Democrats de-
mand it.
Do you favor physical valuation of
railroads as part OF the plan to reg
ulate freight rates?
No.
DO you favor the ship Subsidy?
i favor one along the line of the
Newton bin. en-
DO you favor a central federal
bank?
l do not favor one of the sort adj
vocated by Senator Aldrich, but we
must come to that.
In discussing this later Mr.. Watson
said that he would add: ''Or to favor
an elastic currency"
Do You favor the enforcement of
the criminal clause of the Sherman
antitrust law?
