The building association START
off with a boom. Dues on abou'
$50 shares were paid IN on Friday
night last.
SEVERAL excellent local letters arr
upon our table that we were unable
to publish this week.
INAUGURATION railroad tickets arc
just as good on the B. & 0. 'limted'
trains as other trains See if this is
the rule followed by others.
THANKS to Dr. Morris for late
Jacksonville, Fla, papers, and to
Prof L. M. Boyers for the carnival
editions of the New Orleans papers
Our friends are requested to bear
in mind that obituary notices, trib-
utes of respect, and all matters of a
similar character are chargeable at
half advertising rates.
LITTLE FALLS boasts of negro
who swallows burning matches and
drinks lamp oil with as much ease
and relish as toad swallows fly or
a thirsty OK drinks water.
WHEN you reach the B. d O. depot
you may depend it your Inaugural
ton ticket will be good for any train.
On some other roads to Washington
this may not be the case.
VERY little work can be done on the
railroad during the continuance of
the present severe weather. 1t is not
probable much can be accomplished
for several weeks to come.
JOHN II. HOFFMAN has sold his
Ferry property on the Monongahela
to S. S. Blaney, for $1,000 We
have heard of no other real estate
transactions during the week..
QUITE an elaborate and interesting
article On the Cheat river country
appeared in the Cincinnati CONNER
cialGazette a few days ago, written
by our young friend w. L. w. Barb.
WE will send the New DOMINION
and the New York Weekly World
one year to any address for 1920.
Send in your subscriptions and get
two papers for the price of one.
WHERE is the man who said about
two weeks ago that the backbone of
winter was broken? He evidently
hadn't inspected the vertebral col
umn of the present one. He meant
some other winter.
The B. & O. rates for the round
trip to Washington are lower than
ever made at Inauguration time.
Less than half fare in many cases,
and no extra charge for the unparal-
leled time made by its limited trains
GREAT things have ever hinged on
trifes. The first family difficulty on
record was caused by an apple core;
the last we heard of was the negli-
gence of a father to keep up the sup
ply of DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup when
all hands had cold.
SPECIAL TERM.-On Saturday even
ing last the Circuit Court for this
county adjourned to Monday, April
18th, next. The adjourned term
will be held chiefly for the purpose
of trying Perkins and Trimble. the
defense not being ready at the late
session on account of the absence of
some important witnesses.
In another column we give the
sensational story as telegraphed all
over the country of the burial alive
of young lady in Hampshire
county, together with a correspond
ence from a Hampshire county
paper There seems to have been no
truth in the report that Miss Cox was
buried alive.
WE acknowledge the receipt of
subscription and a piece of pure
California gold from Mr.. George
Blaney, once of this county, but
who has been a resident of Cali
fornia for over thirty years. The
New DOMINION appreciates the kind
ness of the big-hearted miner. In
another column appears letter from
him.
The Baltimore and Ohio, the only
direct line from the West to Wash
ington, is prominently the route Of
all for the trip to the National Capt.
toll at the time of the Inauguration.
1t is the only line running limited
express trains on fast time without
extra charge, and the only line upon
which passengers can exercise the
good old American right of going as
they please. All the B. d o. trains
run through solid, there being no
change of cars, of any class whatever,
from starting point to destination. i
IT is the duty of every good citi-
zen to support his home paper for
local news. After that every one
who can afford it wants a good, re-
liable paper for general news. For
this we can safely recommend the |
Washington Weekly Post as being
one of the newsiest and most re-
liable papers published. Located at
the seat of government it has oppor-
tunities few other papers have for
gathering and publishing news. Be-
sides its attractions as newspaper
it offers unparalleled inducements to
agents and club raisers. Send for a
sample copy.
