Take Notice. ]. P's.

A former W. V. U. student and
campus play-boy, Jarvis Currence,
now justice of the peace in Clarks-
burg, has new list of fees to be
charged in his court. Andy Gender
and others take notice, please.
For entering suit, issuing summons,
subpoenas, swearing not to exceed
four witnesses, docketing case-one
pig.
For trying case, entering judgment
and satisfaction thereof-one bushel
apples.
For issuing order of arrest or COM
mittment-one pound of butter.
For abstract of judgment-one gal
Ion of sauerkraut.
For entering stay of execution
three pounds of bacon.
For taking an inquest on dead
body, to be audited and paid by the
county-one good heifer or bull calf.
The list concludes "These prices
are subject to change without notice.
That list would go we'll around here
except the sauerkraut. But then, that
could be changed to suit the individual
justice. Some good Democratic dish,
for instance.
Those Who Didn't go to Washington
LANDS sake! Amt it glorious
day? Wish I'd gone to Washington.
Them radio announcers though make
you feel like you were there-almost.
l hear music. I'll bet it's the Oakland
drum and bugle corps. If that an
nouncer would just tell US about what
we want to know. Who cares what
the people are wearing, and how hap
ply they look. What if John Garner
does brush up his high slicker? l don't
see why they couldn't say something
about the Oakland corps.
"Well, now that everybody has
been indicted into office, we ought to
hear about the parade. We've heard
from the airplanes, from the dome of
the capitol, from cars moving down
Pennsylvania avenue, and they've got
the inaugural address off their chest.
"They've announced the appear
ance of a snappy drum corps, it must
be Oakland. Oh, no, it's Uniontown.
If that announcer doesn't stop telling
about the people and how they are
standing the cold, and sech. If they
just knew had been sitting here all
afternoon waiting for Oakland's APP
pearance, without changing position.
Just all a-hutter!
Gosh, it's five-thirty. What! Here
comes another drum corps, snappy
drum major, bright yellow uniforms
and everything. That's us! Just
wait till they announce it as Oak
lands. Why, the burned idiots,
they're signing off-what a broad
cast, what broadcast. 1t must have
been a punk Inauguration"
Those Who Went To Washington
After six-hour ride in crowded
train. "Well, this looks like the
street where the parade will pass.
It's only 9 o'clock. We ought to be in
plenty of time. Wonder if the presi-
dents been inaugurated? l couldn't
get out of this crowd now if l wanted
to. My kingdom for some lunch.
What 81 for box to sit on? Oh,
all right. Officer, officer, why can't
| sit out here on the curb?
"Will that parade never come? It's
past two o'clock. Here comes band.
There it goes, we're on the wrong
street,"
"No, l didn't see anything, | stood
in line for five hours, waiting for our
section in the parade to move off.
Bet the people at home know more
about it than we do"
Mike Liller has been granted the
championship of the world in
walking contest. Last Saturday
morning he walked from Oakland to
Washington in six hours. He was
assisted by the special train, but he
walked the entire distance. At least,
so say all those 80 or 80 who went
to the inaugural from here.
I'm through. There is "a morator-
ium on columns and news this week,
to say nothing of advertisements.
Moratoriums seem to be popular at
present.
