The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1884-06-07

err handsome paper, but contains
not a line of local news. Newspa
pers in those days seem to have been
merely political mouthpicces. The
paper bears the name Of Benjamin
Lucas as publisher. 1t was the i'm
mediate predecessor of the Star pub
lished by Marshall NJ. Dent.
MARRIED the M. p. Parson-
age in this place on the 3lst ult., Mr..
Otis w. Waters and Miss Mollie Da-
Wis, both of Cass district, this county.
The groom has been in Ohio for
some time past where he has been
studying aud preaching. They will,
we learn, 60 to that state in short
time to take up their permanent resi-
dence, whittier they will carry the
best wishes If many friends here,
w. M. CLEMENTs.-"I propose to
run an excursion train over this road
next Christmas if | have to hunt up
sub contractors myself to finish the
work - The above is the declaration
of the man who is at the head of the
+. NJ. d. p. railroad enterprise-Mr.
w. NJ. Clements. And Mr.. Clements
means what lie says. He is an ideal
railroad man, mentally and physic-
ally. All his plans and methods
are in keeping with the characters
lie vigor OF the man. The possessor
of grand physique, an iron consti
tuition and powers Of endurance al
most without limit, he takes up his
work every day with the vigor of a.
man who is always fresh, and what
ever he undertakes or controls must
move in harmony with his own pro
gressive spirit. 1t is fortunate that
we have such man at the head OF
the railroad enterprise in which all
our hopes are now centcrcd. 1t is
our absolute assurance that there
will be no tagging or unnecessary de-
lay. The work will go forward with
due dispatch. If we should have to
depend upon an almost impossible
mud pike for egress and ingress an
other winter, it will he a great disap-
pointment, and our people will rejoice
to know that Mr.. Clements does not
intend that we shall. If we don't
ride out on rail next winter, it will
probably not be his fault.
