WRLIsBURa.-We have seen nothing
lately about the new rolling mill In the
Wellsburg papers, and we begin to appre'
bend that there is q hitch in the enter
prise. We notice, however, in the Ne'oS
of yesterday that the Town Council have
authorized the issue O. bonds TO the
amount Of $4,000 TO aid in the manutac'
ture oil moving machines In Wellsburg.
That paper suggests that as preliminary
to the prosperity Of the place, the people
must be more cordial In the reception oil
worthy new comers" Without this, II
says,
at Ia perfect nonsense 10 ever dream ol
Wellsburg enlarging her borders or grow
ing 10 any extent"
It really seems pity that Wellsburg
should lapguish for the want OF proper
cordially on the part Of her people.
Surely they can sford 10 be cordial to
new comers after so much longing and
waiting for some body TO come along and
start some sort oi manufacturing business
But notwithstanding all this lack Of cor.
dialIty on the part OIL the people the Macs
Is encouraged 10 believe that an upward
turn awaits property in Wellsburg. The
editor ia bold enough to make the follow
ing rather rash and nonsensical assertion :
"The speculator might travel from the
source OF the Allegheny 10 the delta oi the
great Mississippi seeking an investment
that would pay the highest per cent, and
we dare say that he could not ind one
that would pay near so well as 10 come TO
Wellsburg and invest his spare capital"

The thoughtful physician does not re-
gard spring rs a healthy season. It's
sudden transitions of temperature,
searching winds and chilling rains arc
provocative of rheumatism and neural
gia, and where there is predisposition
to dyspepsia or bilious collie. or chills and
fever, such variations of the weather are
apt to superinduoe visitation Of one or
other OF those complaints. By toning
and regulating the system with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters at this season,
these evils may, however. be warded off.
The direct effect of the Standard Vege-
