On account Of the busy season
there was not large attendance at
the railroad meeting held here last
Saturday. Order was called and on
motion A. l.. Wade, of Morgantown,
was appointed president and VIM.
Long vice president. David Weld
man and A. f. Courtney were APP
pointed secretaries. The president
then introduced Mr.. Geo. c. Sturgiss,
of Morgantown, who entertained the
audience for nearly an hour in very
fluent speech, and which proved very
conclusively the great Importance Of
having a railroad and the advantage
of a narrow gauge over wide
road. He was followed by President
Thompson, Of the University, who de
livcred one of his brilliant speeches
in his usual energetic style, and he
used up the enemies of the road SO
badly that / think they will cease
croaking. After the speeches, books
were opened and $1,050 were sub
scribed. Counting in what the citi-
zens here and in this vicinity have
subscribed we have nearly one-half
our quota raised already. The pres
ident appointed Messrs. A. S. Court
ney and Matthew Larkin, in conjunc-
ton with Mr. Wharton, as a commit
tee to raise subscriptions. Keep the
ball rolling, boys, and let us see the
iron horse sweep along our valley by
the 1st day of November, 1878.
John Kussart has opened out in
Wharton's new blacksmith shop, and
we now hear the ring of Johns anvil
and next fall it will be accompanied
BY the loot of the iron horse. John
is good blacksmith and we think
he will do well.

Railroad Meeting at Eairmont.

Pursuant to call railroad meet
ing was held at Fairmont on Thurs
day, 18th. A large crowd was pres
ont comprising persons from Marion
county and the towns of Clarksburg,
Morgantown and Grafton. The
meeting was called to order and on
motion Hon. U. N. Arnett was cho-
sen chairman and Mr.. C. L. Smith,
secretary. Speeches were made by j.
NJ. Hagans, j. II. Thompson, j. +.
Osborne, G. G. Sturgiss, Jno. w. Ma
son, ExGov. Pierrepoint and Mr..
Miller, Secretary of the Pittsburgh,
Castle Shannon q Washington rail
way. Considerable enthusiasm was
manifested, and a committee consist
ing of Messrs. ]. 0. Hartley, w. B.
Ice, w. Drummond, A. Hood, w. A.
Barnes, j. Q. A. Meredith and A.
Knox were appointed to procure tho
names of persons who desire to take
stock in the enterprise, and were in
strueted to report progress on May 4.
We were quite amused at the
speech of es-Gov. Pierrcpoint He
claimed that West Virginia was
great agricultural State and spoke
rather disparagingly of Ohio, by say
ing that thc-pcople of that State rails
cd nothing but corn; out of this corn
they made whisky and all got drunk.
He also cosnplimcntcd the Morgan
town delegation by telling them that
they didn't know what they wanted.
This rather dampened their ardor,
but we venture tho opinion that they
will survive the shock.-Cldrtsburg

OUR farmers tell us that the pros
pect for an abundant wheat crop was
never finer than at present in this
county. This is also true in all the
neighboring counties. There was a
large area sown hereabouts last fall
and a heavy crop will be a blessing
to the country, and in its good effects
far outstrip the tinkerings of dozen
congresses. There is also n heavy
bloom on the fruit trees, in fact all
nature is smiling and promises us ev-
erything. Already cattle are grazing
upon the thousand hills Of Mononga
liza and no doubt will be ready for an
early market, thereby filling the peck
cts of our farmers with bank notes,
and bringing the long looked for good
times.
