Vrounntlng Exercise,1.
The Commencement or graduating
exercises of the lionesta publio
school, held at the court house last
Friday evening, were highly pleasing
to the large audience which had
gathered in honor of the graduating
class of '06. The class was composed
of six young ladies and one young
gentleman Misses Kiltie Heplcr,
Lillie Bradbury, Tillie Morrow, Ca
lista Weiser, Emma Lawrence, Ruth
Clark and Mr. Jay Bankhead. The
exercises opened with a song by a
choir consisting of Miss Ida Paup,
teacher of Room No. 3, Mrs. G. W.
Holeman, Messrs. P. M. Clark aud
O. F. Miles, with Miss Martha Mor
row, teacher of Room No. 2, presid
ing at the organ, followed by prayer
by Rev. Mr. McAninch. The pro
gram, intersperced with music by the
choir was as follows: Recitation by
Miss Lille Bradbury; recitation by
Miss Kitlie Ileplei ; Essay, "Value
of little things," by Miss Tillie Mor
row; Sketch of General Jackson, by
Mr. Jay Bankhead ; Class prophecy,
by Miss Calista Weiser; Essay by
MiBS Emma Lawrence. All these ef
forts were received with very liberal
applause. Miss Kathleen Joyce,
teacher of Room No. 1, gave two re
citations that were highly apprecia
ted by the audience, as was also a 20
minute address by Rev. McAninch,
in which he gave some pointed hints
to directors and patrons of the
schools on the question of indifference
and neglect to personally visit the
schools and see the work that is be
ing done. Prof. Speer's address iu
the presentation of the diplomas was
highly entertaining and abounded in
wisdom and common sense. He com
plimeuled the members of the class
on their efficiency, and congratulated
them on their work in the school
room aod the advancement they
had made, urging all to energetically
continue the work so auspiciously
began. It was tbeir "commence
ment," and he hoped it would be to
them a stepping stone to a still high
er and bettor education.
All in all it was a good "com
mencement," and we trust a still
larger class will be had at the gradu
ating exercises of another year.

Last week the firm of Scowden
& Clark shipped one of their fine
matte of wagons to bisterville, V
Va. , where the best of wagons are
necessary for the heavy ruugh haul
ing of that regiou. The order came
from Thos. S. Sterrrett, formerly of
lidiouie, aud one of the well known
teaming contractors of lhe oil couu
try, aud who has perhaps doue more
heavy hauling iu his line than auy
other man in the country. It was a
3i inch steel skein, block tongue
wagon, and put up iu the usually su
perior manuer of the 'inn's style of
workmanship. Good, honest wor
will always tell, aud a reputation of
that kind once established will reach
out a long distance.
What might have beeu a very
serious accident occurred at the river
bridge yeBterday morning. While
a number of boys were on the bridge
snaring suckers, 1 au!, the second sou
of A.Carson, a boy about eight years
of age, lost his balance aud fell from
the lop of the pier, a distance nf
twenty-five feet, and landed iu the
sand below, breaking his right fore
arm and severely spraining his wrist.
These are the only injuries that are
evident at this time, although internal
iniuries may develope later. Drs. Mor
row dressed the boy's wounds. There
are a large uumber of boys who make
a practice of playing on the bridge
who are not old enough to use proper
discretion, and if parents are not
more caretul there will be more ber
ious accidents than this one.

Aii Ohio Trip, Second Loiter.
A I bad made mention in my last
week's letter regarding any additional
Incidents, I will now write the balance of
our delightful trip, heaving off at I'ow
hattati Point, Ohio, I think it necessary
to go back and relate a few Interesting
notes about the town of Moundsviile, W.
Va. This is one of the most historic
spots along the Ohio valley. Situated
right In the midst of tho bnsines portion
of the town is a lovoly Indian mound of
somo eighty feet in' height and covered
with a thick growth of large timber. It
is believed that this peculiar uprising of
mother earth whs caused by the Indians
several centurio" ago. A few years ago a
part v of interested citizens sank a shaft
on tlio mound to tho depth of 110 feet by
1" feet in diameter. They were awarded
for their ell'orts by discovering numerous
relicts of tho red man. Situated just hack
of tills beautiful pyramid of earth stands
a neat and large structure that but tho
first sight of tells one t tint when once a
person gains admittance to this wonder
ful structure they are not soon to leave it
without permission. Built something
alter the lashion of the fine t Pittsburg,
described in my other letter, it is truly a
magnilicent building. Ono sailing down
the smooth and placid waters of the Ohio
would not know that Moundsviile has all
such conveniences, but 'tis so at any rate.
By looking at the mile post on the B. ,Y
O. which leaves tho river at this place
one discovers that it is 44 miles to W ash
ington. After spending a pleasant night at Pow
haltan wo loosened our rait that was
moored in tho mouth of Captain creek
anl sailed on down towards our jour
ney's end. Our next place to cast anchor
was at Clarendon, Ohio, where we re
mained over night and early next morn
ing found us busy at work packing lath
and leaving some lumbor that was pre
viously sold to a lumber merchant. 4 p.
m. finds us landed near the borders of
that famous oil centre, Sistorville, W. Va.
1 find since my last visit hero 12 months
ago that the town has grown to nearly
twice its size. Building is going on and
it will be but a short time until the town
of Sistervillo will be a city. In strolling
about the town I saw perhaps 20 saloons
where one can "rush the growler" to his
stomach's content, and there is not a li
censed saloon in town. The usual fine
of $."0 per month is taxed them and thus
they go on from year to year. Sistervillo
is the headquarters of the oil business in
this section, and the development ex
tends across an area of 3(1 miles. Each
morning one can see two or three hun
dred teams leaving for the Indian ereek
development. On tho morning of April
2'J we sold and deli vered to White Bros,
the remainder of our lumber, and taking
the 12:'ii train on the Ohio River K. K.
we all started on our homeward journey.
Reaching Wheeling at '2:10 we were com
pelled to wait until 3:."i0 for a train over
the Panhandle for Pittsburg. Ntr.ying
overnight in Pittsburg we early next
morning bid farewell to our first and sec
ond captain and started for Forest county,
which we all reached in safety, having
been just two weeks' on tho journey.
I hope the time will soon come round
When we another trip do make ;
Of all the times I've ever lound
This one it takes the cake.
Oh, Jack the second mate,
lie was so full of glee,
I do not ever anticipate
ilia equal lor to see.
And George he's the lad that did the
work ;
Oh what a busy man ;
He isn't the man that ever shirks,
But tries to do all he can.
And George, when he has made a friend,
Is sure to never grunt ;
But how h 3 sighs for that dear friend,
The. one he calls the runt.
Aud bore's to Will J., the tenet's friend j
now tender ami Kind and true,
And when he missed his pet
He scarcely knew what to do.
And here's to Tim, the jolly fisher boy,
That waits to see what could be found
And when he pulls up his rod, oh sea bis
.l'y.
He caught a lish that weighed just 19
pounds.
So now I'll close with this sliort rhyme,
And liope to save all talks,
For I know the editor thinks it timo
To sign. Yours Truly, Will Walks.

German earp of large size, some of
them weighing probably SO pounds, are
now frequently soon at points up French
Creek. They are lubberly, hoggish fish,
that destroy tho game fish by feeding on
the spawn, and their meat tastes like
