4 WORD IN BEHALF OF SUBSCRIPTION.
MoReANTowN, Feb. 9Th, 1SS3.--
The friends OF the railroad enterprise
are feeling confident of success. They
are meeting with encouragement from
all sections of Clay district, and We
are adding new recruits to our ranks
daily from Bsttelle. The people are
beginning TO reason among themselves
is to the propriety of. taxing them
selves for railroad purposes and a
great majority are of the opinion that
the county could make no better in
vestment, While a majority of our
opponents oppose the proposition in
gentlcmanly manner and no doubt
are actuated from pure motives, an.
other portion of them have no hest
fancy in resorting to all manner of
schemes and misrepresentation.
We understand that scheme is
ON foot to deceive the voters Of Nor
gan, Grant and Cass, rs to the real
situation in Clay aud Battelle, n day
or two before the election. 1t is in
tended To send some Of their men into
the districts above named, with the
report that majority Of the people
who are now in favor Of the propo
sition have changed their views and
gone over to the opposition, Your
people need put no reliance in the
report You can rest assured that
the friends Of the enterprise in Clay
and Battelle will do their whole duty
until the polls are closed. ~

mild way, but gave sufficient rea-
son for every voter sustaining the
proposition lie handled the mat
ter skillfully, and his whole hearing
was influential in winning over those
who might be hating between two
opinions. His manner was easy and
free from that challenging seltishness
which charaeterizes the opponents Of
this enterprise. When Mr.. Hagedorn
had finished the president invited,
any who might be opposed to the
proposition TO follow.
j. T.. Burbridge took the floor,
which he occupied for some time, to
no purpose but to bring the dcnunci-
alton of nearly the whole house upon
himself He was followed in turn
by f. Breakiron, W. Peterson, Eug.
Clark, \. Davis and George Break
iron for, and J. NJ. Wilson against
the proposition, whose chief argu-
ment was an appeal for charity.
After the speakers had concluded,
a vote of the whole house was taken,
whercupon twenty seven were found
to he in favor of the proposition and
.fom againsti it, a few not voting either
way. This is the third meeting held
within the last week, the other two
being held at Dug Hill and Wander
vorts school house. At Dug Hill ten
were found to be opposed, while at
Nandervorts onl y two were counted,

Meetings in the interest of the
proposition will be held on the 18th
inst. at Saryer's, and the night fol
lowing at Summers school.
If all parts OF the county discharge
their duty as we'll as Morgan district
the proposition will be carried bv an
overwhelming majority, and the waste
and isolated lands of Monongalia
county will be redeemed and made
to blossom as the rose. {. w. p.

WHAT WE PAY Fox Our COFFEE
The price of our Rio coffee of fair
quality is 90 cents per pound. An
average family uses one pound Of
coffee each week, CT about so pounds
year. Fifty pounds Of coffee at 20
cents per pound makes yearly cof-
fee bill Of ten dollars. At all points
on the B. q @. X. r.. between Wheel
ing and Cumberland and throughout
the adjoining country, coffee is 20
cents per pound. But Wheeling has
competing lines of railroads and this
same quality of coffee at Wheeling
is ~ cents per pound. The yearly
coffee bill, therefore, at Wheeling is
So %, or 1915 less than at Morgan
town. But a railroad to Morgan
town will bring Wheeling prices to
Moreantown. The yearly railroad
tax il Monongaia county, by the
levy TO be voted on Saturday, is &l.75
on each 81 900 worth Of property. A
man who has 81 900 worth Of prop
ertv, instead of paying $40 yearly
for coffee, will pay 1925, that will
pay his railroad tax $l.75 and then
have $500 clear on his coffee bill
alone each year. 1t is reedless TO
say that competing line Of railroad
with the b. d O. r. r. will effect
similar reduction is the price Of
sugar, Of salt, Of leather and all the
necessaries of life. Hurrah fc~ the
subscription.

On motion JAS. A. Faulkner was
elected Chairman and NJ. II. Steele.
Secretary.
The chairman made some very APP
propriate remarks; after which he
introduced Mr.. VIM. T.. Watson, Of
Smithtown
Mr.. Watson certainly favored lis
with one of his best efforts. His ar
guments were clear and convincing,
and were received with enthusiasm
10y the large and attentive audience
present.
Mr.. A. J. Jones was called for and
responded in opposition to the prop
ositon. Mr.. Jones favored us with
very eloquent speech; recurring
frequently to the DARK Ages" for
arguments but finding none. There
fore he seems to have failed to con.
vince any one
Mr.. solomon Ffun also gave liz q
short speech in favor of the subserip
ton. SOL" is solid for r. II.
This, we belive, was the most en-.
thnsiastic railroad meeting ever held
in Clinton district. And if we may
judge from the sentiment expressed,
Clinton will roll up large majority
in favor Of subscription on the 18th.

WHAT A WESTERN MAN SAYS ABOUT
RAILRoADs.-Mr. William Dunn, of
Iowa. one of the eleverest men we
have met for long time, told us a
few days ago how it paid counties to
subscribe to new railroads. He has
observed the matter in Iowa and he
SAYS it always pays county to sub
scribe II It gets the roads, even if it
never gets any dividends. 1t more
than pays in the impetus it gives to
all kinds of business, and the amount
of taxes collected from the railroads
allows the tax imposed upon the
farmers to be reduced fully one half.

Several boys from this place left Oh
Saturday to join the party among
whom were Ellis Lyon. Will Forbes

require nearly three months to reach
this place. The only matter likely
to interfere with the vigorous prose

be the failure of our county to vote

The RAILROAD MEETING on TUES
DAY-GooD SPEECHES. Tuesday
at | o'clock a large number of our
citizens gathered in the Court House
yard to hear the railroad subscrip-
ton discussed. Col. Ben. Wilson
was introduced by Mr.. w. E. Watson
and for about an hour interested his
hearers with a flow of eloquence,
backed by statistics that could not
help but convince those who listened,
of the propriety of voting for sub
scription. Col. Wilson was followed
by Shelby P. Barker, Esq, who made
an excellent address upon the sub
iect. Mr.. Barker has been an indie
fatigable worker in the cause and
deserves the thanks Of our people for
his efforts. Hon. w. T. Wiley and
President Wilson also spoke in favor
of the enterprise. Mr.. Wiley spoke
in his usual style, commanding the
attention of the audience and show
ing in an unanswerable manner why
the vote should be cast on Saturday
next in favor of subscription. Presi-
dent Wilson's eloquent address was
splendid. This gentleman has com
mand of splendid flow of language
and besides pleasing his auditors
gave them some figures showing the
experience Of his own Jefferson
county in voting railroad subscrip-
ton. While Jefferson is not natur-
ally anything like as rich as Monon-
gala, and although she already had
two railroads, she very readily voted
a subscription of $250,000 to third.
She is now paying her current ex-
penses and the interest on her bonds
with precisely the levy Monongalia
now pays. The meeting was a sue
cess and we trust convinced many of
the opposition of the error Of their
way.
