Clarksburg is just on
The Eve of q Big Boom.
The route for our new railroad leading to
Uniontown, Pa, is now being surveyed
and the completion OF the road is undoubt-
edly one Of the certain things in the near
future. The unceasing labor of Mr.. K. t.
Lowndis, in behalf of this enterprise is
very gratifying, and promises good to our
people. This road will give us competi-
ton with the Il. n o, to Eastern cities,
which can only be appreciated by people
that pay tribute to the road. Clarksburg
is destined to become great manufaCtur-
ing center, we have every element neces-
sary To induce manufacturing establish.

appointed to select location, but plans and
Specifications have not yet been agreed

matter to find more

for his money than to erect a nice hotel
here, and have it kept in first class style.
By the way it is said that lone of the
