day Sept. 9th 1883.
A LARGE number or the farmers in
this vicinity have commenced plow-
ing for next years wheat.
In addition to the marriages noted
elsewhere, q license was issued on
the goth inst, to Clark Weaver and
Elizabeth A. Cole.
WE received a letter from young
friend at La Plata, Missouri, just as
we were going to press. Let us hear
from you again George.
FRED. HESSES, we are told,is about
the proudest individual in town. He
ia pap of a lusty young voter. The
new comer's name is Robert.
IT seems that the Principalship Of
the Fairmont Normal School must
go begging. No one can be found
who will accept it, even if rendered
on a silver platter.
ANY one desiring a good and cheap
stock farm, would do well to call on
or address S. o. Robson, at tJffing
ton, this county. A responsible buy
er can get it on easy terms.
NONE Of our people seem to care to
take advantage of any of the cheap
excursions offered by the railroads.
It seems to us that fog the amount
that can be seen and learned no in
vestment would pay better.
QUITE a number of our people are
arranging to attend the Baltimore
Oriole Those who attended last
year were much pleased. The dis
play next month is to be on much
grander scale than ever before.
LEG BRoKEN.-On Wednesday last
Samuel Malott had his leg broken by
q fall Of slate while mining coal in
Mr. +. J. Bowlby's coal bank near
the Bowlby mill on Robinson's Run.
Both bones were broken. We learn
that the injured man is doing as we'll
as could be expected.
In Morgantown when female is

Ina private letter received a few
DAYS since from Col. j. Nj. Heck. of
Raleigh, N. G. we find the following
afTectionate reference to our county:
How is Old Monongaliap / feel a
deep interest in all that concerns the
progress Of her people. ! still hope
you will, at an early day, get one; or
more railroads, built through that
magnificent mineral county With
railroads, slackwater and mineral
development, my native county
Monongalia-- would be the pride Of
that Valley
: THE VALLEY RA1LRoAD.-In con-
versation the other day with Jos. e.
Sands, Esq, one of our foremost rail
road men, we learned that the outlook
for railroad up the Monongahela
Valley is very encouraging. The
sarvey on the east side OF the river
has been completed and that on the
west side nearly so. The engineers
and assistants are now busily en-
gagged in making their estimates, and
when these are completed it will be
found that the proposed road can be
built for much less than was at first
supposed. Mr.. Sands thinks that
the prcliminaries will all be con-
pleted inside of so days-if completed
at all-and that the contracts for
constructing the road will then be let.

An exchange says: We are glad
to give space in our local columns to
the mention of any visitors, the alb
sence of any citizen, his wife or his
children, but at the same time would
be glad to have the item written out
and handed in, or mention made at
this Office 1t is not snobbery to do
this; it is in nowise improper. Peo-
pie are always much interested in
knowing the absence Of friends, and
equally glad to know the presence Of
any visitor upon whom they may call.
Some very sensible people say they
don't want their names in papers.
This may be true as to puff or bit
of flsttery; but it can hardly be trsle
of the simple announcement of WIS.,
itor's name or the temporary absence
of lady or gentleman.
