. The Monticola. WILLIAM COLVER GIST. Wellsburi. William Colver Gist first opened hiseyes in Wellsburg some time in theeighties. Gist, as he is commonlyknown, is a very peculiar specimen ofmanhood. His speech and mannercause his fellow-students to gaze inwonder at him. His most preciouspossession is his smile, which rarelyever fails to disappear, especially sincehe has become sweet on one of Monon-galias fair daughters. With all thesehe manages to make his professors be-lieve him a good student, and how hedoes it is a wonder. Surely one whocan do that will succeed in life.
