We want mere railroad talk.
We want more thought about q
railroad.
We want more feeling on the sub
ject Of railroad.
We want more intelligent esti-
mate of the value Of railroad.
We want the people of Monongalia
to understand that, in this age of
the world, railroad is an imperative
necessity.
We want them to discover that a
railroad will pay.
That it will pay handsomely.
That it will pay better than bank
stock.
Better than government bonds.
Better than livestock or any other
stock in the market.
We want them to understand that
they can't afford not to have = rail
road.
Let Monongalians ask themselves
the question whether they are willing
to sit still and see the world move
away from them: see their young
men hunt homes in other states; see
their farms depreciate in value; see
business of every kind depreciate and
decline; see the population grow
poorer every year; see every public
interest anguish and decay; see
Monongalia take back seat among
the whole list of counties in the
State?
These are live questions. The ques'
ton of a railroad is the Invest ques
ton in this county to-day.
We are just on the eve Of an epocl
in our struggle for railroad facilitie,
in this county, when there are con
siderations of the utmost Importance
We need to have public sentiment
stimulated and aroused on this sub
ject.
Our people must not sit down and
passively content themselves with
the idea that company is going t.
build railroad for US and we have
nothing to do.
II we want to be sure of the road
we must show the projectors friend
~ and helpful disposition. We mus
see that every individual man who's
property is concerned in the matter
is willing to be fair-to help encour
age and not to help defeat the en-
terprise.
Let the projectors find in thi
county people full Of enthusiasm
and liberality for their road.
Let every Monongalian tip his ha
and hurrah for the railroad till h
hears The engine toot

GREENSBORO, December S.-Three
miles up the Monongaliela river from
here, on the Greene county side, in =
modest little home, a wife and three
young children are spending the tedi-
Gus days and nights anxiously await
ing the return OF a naughty husband
and papa. From this firesidc has
fed one Lee Cooper, and his where
abouts and late doings are now the
subject Of much small gossip for
miles around. Near Crows ferry
has long been situated the tannery
Of Old man Wolfe. In his tender
years the lad Cooper was taken and
raised by kind-hearted old Mr.. Wolfe,
and after he had grown up Lee Cooper
received from his foster father farm
Of fine rolling acres. Lee married in
course Of time the daughter Of Green
wood Stevens, staid old citizen of
this county, and the Young couple
settled down to what seemed life Of
connubial bliss. Lee Cooper was
known to the people around as
stock dealer, Speculation, ETC., and
was supposed to be doing well in
worldly affairs, and also to be circum-
spect in all that pertained to his con-
jugal ties and his paternal obliga-
tions-for as years rolled on he be-
came blessed with three children.
But recently his conduct has strange
" departed from that Of his former
life. His ncighbors, and especially
his wife, were surprised few weeks
since to know that he had sold his
farm. In order to convey the prop
erty, Of course he had to obtain the
consent of Mrs. Cooper. re do this
he became unusually sweet toward
her-bought her many nice presents
and promised her many nicer ones if
she would just sign the deed Wheed-
led in this way she finally consented,
made her signature and Cooper peck
eted the $4,000 purchase money. In
few days the recreant husband and
father was seen no more about these
hills. He had suddenly and myster-
iously disappeared. Where, none
knew. Days and weeks passed by
and he came not. He left Mrs.
Cooper and her little ones without a
pound Of -four in the house. Some OF
his creditors learned of his disap-
pearance, and the constable levied on
his personal property. But it was
found that he had disposed Of most
things and there was not enough to
satisfy the claims. To protect her
self, the deserted wife claimed the
benefits Of the insolvent law. 1t was
finally ascertained that Cooper had
gone up into West Virginia about
Morgantown, and joined woman
with whom he had eloped. Where
they have gone is not known, but it
was rumored that they had set out
in the direction Wheeling. 1t is not
known either how long it has been
since first he cast an evil eve upon
the fair "masher" Since ne left it
has come to light that he charged
infidelity upon his wife, but the
neighbors declare that he seized up
on this pretext as an excuse for his
own shortening. Steps are being
taken to have the sale of the farm
set aside, Mrs. Cooper stating that
her consent was procured surrepti-
tiously and on false representations
Cooper's escapade has furnished a
large amount of sensational gossip
for this usually sedate and quiet
neighborhood.

long year before he attains the

A citizen of Morgantown he ia
not moss back } was recently in at
tendance upon a meeting of gentle
men who were discussing railroad
project up the Monongahela, and he
was called upon for a speech.
"He had not" he said, athe faculty
Of making speeches; it was not his
business.
"But,' said he, II want to say this
much:'
II am in favor of railroad!'
Il am in favor" he continued, sol
any kind of railroad. / don't care
where it runs, or who builds it.
don't care whether it is a narrow.
gauge or broad-gauge. l don't care
how long or how short it is. / don't
care where it begins or where it ends,
l am in favor Of it,"
II want a railroad" said he, ''if it
is only made to run around town,
kill, cows, and whistle occasionally"
II want to hear her toot!'
If we had 500 men in Monongalia
with this spirit we couldn't keep a
railroad out of the county.
A few enthusiastic men who feel
an inspiration in the toot of a rail
road whistle is all that Monongalia
needs to complete the preliminaries.
The toot of railroad engine is
the liyeliest music on this continent.
Men once accustomed to it can't do
without it. 1t will raise Monongalia
county from the dead.
