Railroad Meeting at MorgantOwn.


In reference to our railroad meet
ing here, the Wheeling Standard
comments thus
The people of "Athens" feel the
need of something more than "book
learning" to make them great The
light OF literature is brilliant and
beautiful, but the light Of the "bulFs
eye" of locomotive is more brilliant
and substantial, in business point
of view The one gives light to the
mind-the intangible, while the other
lights up the material-the business
interests of a place The one makes
a man noble, proud, great; the other
makes him comfortable, rich, happy.
The one makes good farmers, me-
chanics, business men; the other car
ries off to profitable markets the pro
duets of cultivated mind. The one
is dependent upon the other,-the
one follows the other They move
pori pasu; hence the Athens Of West
Virginia must and will have rail
road. 1t is now, we trust, only brief
time, when the whistle Of the locomo-
tive will staFtle the rabbits along the
banks of the historic Monongahela,
and when the rich farmers of that
section of the State will have an out
let for their products.
It is q fact, though perhaps not
known to very many persons in other
portions of West Virginia, that Mo
nonealia is one Of the richest counties
in the State. Its lands are rich, and
adapted to grazing as well as to the
production of all the cereals. 1t is
likewise underlaid with inexhaustible
beds of superior classes of coal; and
it's hills, which, however, are not lofty
or rugged. are covered with all kinds
Of timber, that will some day com
mand Il high price in the ship mar
kets Of the world. The owners of the
soil over there even claim that they
have iron, silver and lead; and we
have no reason to doubt their state
ments. We have seen enough Of the
county to know that it is the richest
in West Virginia. All it lacks is an
outlet, market.
1t is now eighteen miles from Nor
gantown to the nearest railroad sta
ton, which is Fairmont. If that dis
lance were spanned with narrow
gauge railroad, it would prove not
only paying investment to its build
ers, but would be a blessing to every
citizen of Monongalia county. At
this time the farmers have no market
for their product, except Morgan
town. They therefore have no means
ofadding to to their store of wealth,
except in a very limited way, The
farmers, therefore, more than shy 9th
er class of persons, need this railroad,
and we are glad to know that they
are beginning to look at the question
Ia practical manner, and are will
ing to furnish money towards the CON
structon of q railroad outlet.
1t really seems to rs that new is
the time for Monongalia county to de
something great for her own develop
ment. as well as for the State at large
She willnever have another oTportu-
nifty to invest about 100000 to sc

Weston Railroad.

We learn from the last Weston
Democrat that the Directors of the
Narrow Gauge Railroad from that
place to Clarksburg have been author
lied to issue bonds sufficient to com
plete the building of the road. A con
tract was Immediately made with
Daudridge & Co., experienced rail
road builders, for the completion of
the road bed, at $40, 900; the work to
be commenced at once and finished
by the LIST of July next. The compa-
ny will issue bonds not to exceed
100000, payable in ten years, at not
exceeding 10 per cent. interest. Hon.
Henry Brannon is president of the
road and will make arrangements for
the iron and rolling stock for the com
pletion and equipment of the road
Immediately. The meeting Of the
stockholders, which perfected this ar
rangement, was largely attended by
the citizens of Lewis, amongst others

We most heartily congratulate the
