our exchanges every day where other

1t il opinion that a hardware store
would pay i'm Kingw oUd IL agricultural
implements were kept i'm connect On
with il. When the farmers horo do buy
any Implements they have to send away
for them to other places, and no doubt If
there would bo moro demand for both
hardware and agricultural implements.
The supervisor of roads should soon
begin to examine tho roads in order to
ascel tain whero they are needing 70
pairing the worst, and then as soon a.
the weather is suitable ne should have
the work dono. Every hole i'm the roads
should he filled up with stone, of which
there is always plenty available. and n
this was done every yoar it would not
DO long until the roads would always be
in good condition.
Tho Morgantown Dominion OF last
week contained the following under the
head Of university Items:"
"N arc likely To- have almost as many
students enrolled for tho present wear as
there we're during the most prosperous
year the University ever had ia the past.
Tho amount subscribed 70 tho capital
stock of the Railroad by tho mcmbois OF
INC FACULTY shows spirit OF enterprise
rarely manifested by College Professors"
The farmers throughout this county
complain that they have considerable
difficulty IL disposing OF thoir produce.
This is evidence itself that tho now
railroad heretofore SC much talked OF II
badly needed, for il IL was built tho
farmers could get thsr produce into city
markets whore they could dispose OF all
they raise. 1t is our opinion that this
road will he built at no DISSENT day, as
soon as the people properly realize the
necessity oft.
The Morgantown people have got
thoroughly aroused in regard to the
building of tho now railroad to that place.
A large meeting vas held at tho court
house in that place on the 18th irst..
which was principally attended by cap
italists and mon Of influence who sub
scribod stock to the amount of $3.50.
We hope that when the Morgantown
people get their road built that the citi-
zens of Preston county will not be long
I'm subscribing the necessary stock to
build the proposed road from Morgan
town 20 this place.
