discourse.
The Court Houso will be crowd

When such names as E. P.
Goodwin. W. Fi-ank Stout and
W. A Marsh were placed before
the executive committee last Sat
urday, it made the selection of a
candidate for County Superin
tendent a very difficult task.
Among men with such splendid
records no one could reallv con
clude that any particular one was
especially deserving. Only one
could be named, and it mattered
not which one was chosen, for
we were sure of a scholarly man
and a gentleman.
The West Virginia University
bovs, composing the Banjo,Man
dolin, Guitar and Glee Clubs,

able feast of melody and song,
rendered with rare skil! and
burnished with flashes from
master minds that wo will heir
from in future years.

four and live hundred people were
at the train to meet Mrs. Ghenn,
who was a widow of prepossess
ing appearance.
The Republican county execu
tive committee met at the court
house last Saturday and selected
Mr. Arthur Clark as the Repub
lican standard-bearer for county
superintendent. Mr. Clark's
home is at Shinnston, where he
has officiated at different times
as principal of the public schools
with becoming dignity and
credit to the profession he adorns.
He is at present principal of the
Shinnston schools, is a man of
progressive tendencies and has a
good education. He has been
one of the most successful teach
ers in the county and is a thor
oughly practical man. Mr. Clark
will be elected by a good major
ity if the Republicans do their
duty and come out to the polls.
As an officer, he will do much to
to increase the power and useful
ness of our schools.

Very pretty and appropriate
services were held in the Cloff
Chapel, M. E. Church, on last
Sunday. In the morning the
regular services were held, and
in the evening the Junior League
entertained the Senior League
with a pleasant song service.
After this was over the Easter
service was given in the audience
room which was crowded to over
flowing. This service consisted
of responsive readings and music
and lasted about one hour. A
collection amounting to over $180
was taken by the use of the
"benevolent cross." The whole
day's exercises were pleasant
and profitable.
Baptist Church.
The regular services of this
church were held last Sunday
and the ordinance of baptism ad
ministered at the morning ser

pastor preached both morning
and night and, as usual, was
greeted with large and attentive
congregations. The subject of
the sermon at night was, "The
triumph of Christianity over
Death." Rev. 21:4.
Perhaps it is not too much to
say that no more eloquent ser
mon was ever delivered from a
Clarksburg pulpit.
The present pastorate began
six months ago and during that
time 35 new members have been
received into full membership
the pastor's salary and all the
current expenses of the chnrch
