discreet, faithful and ambitious,
regular in attendence at Lodge

was largely due. Therefore be it
Resolved ; That while we mourn
the death of Brother Davis we
humbly submit to the ruling of
the Supreme Commander who
"doeth all things well," and that
as we live we "strive to emulate
his virtues."
Respectfully submitted in F. C.

First Regiment Bahd.
The First Regiment Band, now
one of the most elaborately
equipped musical orginizations in
West Virginia, started for the
encampment on Wednesday.
Each member of the band was
furnished by the State with two
fail uaiiorms last week. The ma
terial is of beautiful cloth witr.
white embroidery. Instead of
the brass instruments furnished
by the State they have an ex
quisite set of instruments,tripple
silver, and of the best finish and
latest Improvements. These in
struments were purchased by the
band and are their private prop
erty. Mr. Dolin, of Virginia,who
has recently been engaged as
1 their instructor, is one of the
best musicians in the State, and
under his training the band is
destined to eclipse all the best
previous efforts of similar musi
cal organizations in West Virgin
ia. The members are active,
progressive young men from
many of the best families of the
city.
The following is a list of the
members :

Mr. Bruce Southern just took
from this office a large quantity
of printed matter for the South
ern nurseries. The business of
this firm has increased largely
during the past year and their
fall deliveries will amount to sev
eral thousand dollars. Such
growth is an example of what
promptness and honesty in busi
ness will achieve.
We have inquired carefully

modest one remarks that it hopes
that the regents will not "do
that." We are not acquainted
with Mr. Douthat. and have heard
but little of the Barboursville
school. We hope no mistake will
be made In selecting a President
for the University, and the man
whom we ought to get, will, no
doubt, oe found with plenty of
work before him in some leading
college of the country. Good
college presidents are generally

becoming quite a popular res
taurant. Another place with a
simular history is the room in
the Irwin block, opposite the
Telegram office, where was
kept a saloon for several years.
This place is now a meat market,
kept by Mess. C. 0. Fittro and
Co., and is patronized by ladieB
who used to keep close to the op
