take stock in the railroad. If you
own land it will double its value. If
you do not own land il will make bust
ness for you so that you can soon
own some.
If YOU want Monongalia to be fill
ed with strangers and visitors every
summer, build the railroad.
If you want capital and enterprise
to keep away from here refuse to build
the railroad and you will crowd it
out effectually.
If you think railroad does not
create business, 90 to any railroad
that is in operation and see for your
self.
Railroad brings people, brings mon
ey, and stimulates business to Il de
gree that it is utterly impossible for
an isolated community to have.
The beauty of Monongalia's thous-
and hills and the fertility of her val
leys will never be thoroughly known
to the world without railroad. This
Improvement is all that we need to
place us first in the rank ofWest Vir-
ginia's counties.
Bear in mind the danger of delay
and inactivity. Improve this oppor-
tunity; you will never have such an
other. 1t is little short of criminal
to sit quietly and not take advantage
of the inducement offered us now.
1t is wonder that the Mononga-
hela Valley, Astounding as it does in
timber and mineral resources, has
been allowed to remain undeveloped
so long. Let the railroad be built
and these reservoirs opened, that
wealth may flow to Monongalia in an
available form.
This valley should be opened up
not only by the railroad but by the
river. The United States is going to
open the river for us and Pittsburgh
will build half the railroad for us il
we will build the other half. What
do we deserve if we don't accept the
very liberal terms offered us?
Grafton only lacks $4,000 of'having
her share of the railroad money rails
ed. Don't let her have an opportuni-
ty to say that you caused her to fail
in this enterprise.
If we are not energetic in this mat
ter, some other smarter place will
take the road from us and then
well we might as well fence this coun-
try in and give it up to the cultiva
! ton of blackberries.
We have published the names of q
large namber of citizens who took
stock in the railroad and we intend
to publish the entire list, so every.
body will know who deserves credit

There is no class but will be bene-
fitted largely by the consumation of
the enterprise now under considera
ton, yet there are those who stand
aloof waiting for others to do the
work they expect to profit by.
There are men and communities who
are inclined to throw cold water upon
our railroad enterprise. 1t will be
fatal to our interests to allow their
sneerings to have any effect.
If our citizens don't come up to the
work and do their whole duty, our
men of enterprise, who always arc ex-
pected to do the work and furnish the
money, will be disguised and will
never attempt it again.
There is "a time for everything"
NOW is the time to subscribe your
share to the railroad stock.
The subscription books of the rail
road will be closed on the 31st of May.
The time is alarmingly near. Don't
you realize the Importance of prompt
ness in the matter?
Those who have subscribed, those
who have not subscribed, those who
do not intend to subscribe, those who
do intend to subscribe, those who are
not wanted to subscribe and those
who are wanted to subscribe are re-
quested to attend the railroad meet
ings that are to be held between this
and the 31st. inst.
If you have no money, but are able
to work take one share in the railroad.
That will give you chance to make
n LITTLE money
