Fairmont half day.
SOME improvements are being
made in the University buildings.
The library is being enlarged and
other Improvements made.
THE Blair boys, of Geneva, have
taken the contract Of carrying the

he gratifed to hear Of his appoint

IT seems to us not just the thing
for those who have been the benef-
Charles of the University to turn
about and attempt to injure it. Re
ports promise some rich developments
in that direction in the future.

Il. J. MEEKs has contracted to
haul 5000 bushels of coal to the
University this summer. Already
over 5000 bushels have been hauled.

progressing somewhat slowly, but
will soon be completed A depth of
about $50 feet has been reached. A
week or ten days will be sufficient to

A FEW days ago a half acre or
more of earth slipped into the cut

some time, and it is estimated that
it will take him at least three years
to remove the land Slide Vest Tar-

worked as we'll as could be expected.
WORK on the F. M. Il P. r. R. Co.'S

that will remove from the minds of
the most skeptical any doubts of the
early completion of the enterprise.

take mighty strong evidence to re-
move the doubts from the mind of
the average Fairmont skeptic in ref

reception rendered to Mr.. and Mrs.
