least. Lent came in on last
Wednesday and ends on Easter
Sunday. It will be a season of
self denial among Roman Cath

The Oregon Herb Medicine

three first class - musical selec

expect to show the remainder of
this week.
Before we go to press again
the concert will be over. We
predict that it will be one of the
rarest treats we have had for
many a day. Prof. Trotter is
giving a great deal of time and
attention to making it a success
and we trust that he will realize
a nice amount for the library.

vailed for seveaal years among
very many of our country
friends.
Some newspapers in adjoining
towns are publishing gross false

There is some typhoid fever here
and a few deaths have occurred,
no more than must be expected

were no deaths in Broaddus Col

of the students were sick. People
in Clarksburg are not dying in
any greater proportion this year
than in past years and seven or
eight cases of fever is about all
I we have ever had at any one

"What in the mischief aro we
to cat nowadays ? After listen
in? to the vegetarians who say
wk shouldn't eat meats, and to
tt&oun ripeners who warn uo
njfrainst eating underground
growths like potatoes and turnips
we hear the voices of another
food reformer who says we must
not eat anything made of grain,
such as wheatbroad.com dodgers,
flapjacks, oat cakes, pease meal
bannocks, or macaroni, all of
which are hard of digestion and
bad for the health. Go to grass,
ye humbugs all and herd with old
Nebuchadnezzar. Give us all
things that n*e good, wholesome,
nourishing, usteful and high
toned, such things as make a
white person, or even a colored
person, feel happy and brave.
Give us a show. Let folks loose
in the animal, vegetable, gram
nivorous, cocoanut, chestnut and
apple sass kingdoms."

malting two things very clear:
First, the earnest haste of tho
