CITY rs BOOSTED
BY BELL COMPANY

house is substantial building, but
the city has outgrown 1t and a new
one will be erected within short
time. The Empire building is anoth-
er structure that is typical of the
newer clarksburg. Our Company has
just purchased lot west of the En-
pire building, and 1t is expected that
a modern home for the Clarksburg
plant traffic and commercial depart
ments will be erected on this site.
The lot, which is 35 by Y5 feet, faces
the two trees shown in the photo
grahp. The present office of the com
pany is on the same street directly
opposite the Empire building.
Clarksburg has a historical side.
The city, which is many miles south
of Mason and Dixons line, is stu
ated in a Northern" State and fur
nished a national hero whose cour-
age on the Confederate firing line
made his name familiar TO everyone.
"stonewall" Jackson was born in
clarksburg in 1924. His mother died
in 1884, leaving Thomas Jackson an
orphan. The boy went TO live with
a family no Blennerhassett Island,
near Parkersburg, W. Va. 1t is said
that much of his time on the island
was used in riding horses. Then
came his appointment to West Point,
the breaking out of the war, and
Lees famous remark, See, there is
jackson standing like stonewall.''
The cabin in which jackson was born
is remembered by many of the older
clarksburg citizens, and it is a COM
mon regret among them that the
building was demolished.

their clerks will be without posi-
tons, except in such cases where the
same man has been acting as clerk

time as c.erk OF the district
courts. This is the case in the
southern district Of West Virginia,
where Edwin NJ. Keatley has been
clerk of both circuit and district
courts, He will remain in the Of
flee.
In the northern distric., However,
Mr. Harrison has been clerk OF the
circuit court and Charles b. Kc-
sauyer, OF Parkersburs, is clerk OF
the district court. Mr. Ketauvet
will retain his place, while Mr.. Har-
risons has been abolished.
The law will take effect the Rral
of next January.

TEXAS ORCHARD
ACREAGE INCREASED

Houston, Tex, Mar 15--lEXperts
who have recently toured the Hous-
ton peach belt have issued an official
statement in which they say the or
ehard acreage has been increased 3V
per cent over that of last year.
The January freeze is estimated to
have injured the peach crop SO per
cent but the 30 per cent increase in
acreage leaves only net loss OF
one-ffth of the fruit crop and the
railroads will get large tonnage
from Texas fruits. The shipping
mN,ement will probably reach its
height about the middle of May as
the crop viii he early this year. the
highest Temperatures for March hav-
ing been recorded In South Texas
this year than for a period Of 20
years past.
! Jacksonville will have 10000 acres
in neaahes and 1000 in tomatoes;
Athens 1000 in fruit, mostly peaches
/ La Rue 500 acres in tomatoes and
fruit: RuslI 1000 acres in the !wo
combined and Franklin 5000 acres
in the two.
The quality Of the fruit that was
unkllled should be very fine and the
crop will be ready for market early
and command handsome prices. i
was at first feared that the entire
peach crop was destroyed, but ron
ditions proved to be only half as bad
as had been feared.

Morality and Beauty.

So many people think if they have
an ill-fitting dress, eat badly cooked
dinner and have no ravishment in the
clean, sweet use OF the senses, they
are leading moral life. It is a pro.
found depth of immortality to be able
to live without beauty. and perhaps
the most tragic thing in our social sys.
tenn is, that while one class has a sur.
felt of beauty and show which they
mistake for beauty, another class is
deprived of beauty altogether. It il
more beauty we want and less luxury.
