Observation-Disclosures the
fact that some parties have stated
that they sell better envelopes than
we do, we still sell rs many as ever.
The same parties propose to sell bet
ter envelopes printed, by the thou
sand, for s cents per pack than we
sell at the same price imprinted. We
can do better than that. We will
sell thousand Of them printed at 6
cents per pack, but of course could
not afford to print few packs at that
price. Then there is another thing
to consider: That our envelopes are
better than those referred to, we leave
our patrons to decide. We have Sc
cured a sample of the envelopes which
are said to be better than ours. and
if our friends will call in we will take
pleasure in showing both kinds.

We have a striking example right
here of what liberal and persistent
advertising will do. Less than six
months ago Lazear, Finnell Il Co.,
commenced business and were COM
paratively strangers. They began
by advertising literally and judi
ciously. Now they are almost the
leading merchants Of the place and
we Judge will soon be the principal
firm in town. They are energetic to
please all their customers. They
will succeed.

THE dry, warm weather continues
with little prospect, at this time, of a
change. The streams are lower and
the temperature higher than at this
time for many years. Grass and all
other vegetation is drying up. In
soms parts of the county people have
much trouble to get water for stock.
We noticed the other day that In
dian Creek, one Of the largest in the
county, was entirely dry except .
mnrky pool here and there, and but
for the dam in che Monongahela the
bottom would be sticking out all
along here. In many cities and large
towns the water supply is giving ont.
At Warrington, in Marion county,
water has to be brought three or four
miles.

MORE ABOUT ELluU Elihu
Greeg,the re-bugger whose name has
been unpleasantly associated with a
case wherein a burned Court House
and Gregg figure largely, is looking
forward to an carly, termination of
his cause. He has twice been under
sentence Of death, and escaped both
the sentence and Imprisonment, hav-
ing folded his tent one night and
shook the dust of Preston county
from off his feet and silently deserted
the commonwealth, After enjoying
his liberty for term of years, he was
arrested in Greene county, Pennsyl-
vania, and, as will be remembered,
created sensation by taking poison,
while en- route to this city from that
State. From here he was taken to
Preston county, and on Tuesday last
was brought before Judge Brannon,
Of Kingwood, who, after settling the
question that no writ Of error or sup
erccdeas pended in that court, fixed
the day on which Gregg shall expiate
his crime, which will be 9Th Of Feb
ruary, 1880. In the interim his
counsel will try number Of avenues
yet open to stay the tragic dcnoue-
ment.- Wheeling Sunday Leader.

~ MUCK has been said lately by the
Press of Pennsylvania and this State
about the Pittsburgh Southern Rail
road. The people about here have
lost their faith in the P. S. Railroad
and don't seem to care much about
it any more, though if another rail
road boom can be gotten up, we may
~ we'll have it. While it is not i'm
probable that this road will eventu-
ally be made, it is more likely that
the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charles
ton road will be built up the valley
before the other one. The road up
the valley will be finished to Browns
vile by Jan. 1st and we have infor-
nation from gentleman who is late
" from Pennsylvania that the inten-
tion Is to push the road on to Nor
uantown. That the road will be
brought here is but natural conse-
quence and we trust it may be push
ed on Immediately. With railroad
and slackwater we will have some
hope Of keeping up with the world.
These improvements will bring CAPT
tai and enterprise into our state, and
when properly developed she is one
of the richest states in the Union.

WE are in receipt Of a copy Of Prof.
Wade's address, in pamphlet form,
which was delivered before the Ma
tional Educational Association, at
Philadelphia, upon "a graduating
system for country schools"
This little book is receiving the high
est encomiums from the teachers
throughout the different counties, and
we may say, the entire State. 1t has
also been favorably noticed by the

our own county institute. So far as

all that it's author and friends claim

Pittsburgh csreae.
A delegation representing parties
in interest, whose names we are mo-
privileged to publish, went east Sat
urday from this city for the express
purpose Of consulting with President
Scott, of the P. r. R., In reference Il
railroad extensions--for the present
to Morgantown, W. Va, but ultimate
ly towards the headquarters Of the
Cheat river. The proposition to b.
considered is the extension of the p
V. d c. r. r., not simply to Browns
vile but to Uniontown, where it is
proposed to form junction with the
Southwest Penn road. A continuous
line is then to be built for the united
roads to the Monongahela at or neal
Geneva, the river to be followed tc
Morgantown, which, as already stat.
ed, is for the present mainly for the
objective point.
1t is held that this project is pre-.
ferable to the extension Of the p, "
d &, Railway along the course of the
river to the point named for two OF
three reasons. In the first place, the
detour to Uniontown is not so grea,
as that would be to follow the river
around the famous Lezerne bend; in
the second place, the advantage OF
the Southwest Penn. connection is {
very important matter; then a large
amount of work will be saved by the
use of the already graded Brownsville
road, and finally, this route will oper
up the very best part Of the ore and
coal region of West Virginia.
The plan is to bridge the Monon
gahela just below Cunningham 4
Abrams coal works, some miles thi.
side of Brownsville, and thus run on
to Uniontown, building a branch to
Brownsville. On the other side, the
railroad will be continued, and, If i,
Is ever deemed necessary, eventually
60 up the river to West Virginia, con
Meeting at Geneva. The surveyors
already have been at work on the
proposed line from Brownsville tt
