A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.-On Monday
last we accepted an invitation to pass
the evening with our friend Mr..
Frank Reynolds, it being his eigh
teenth birthday. At an early hour
the company began to assemble and
each one seemed to bring with him a
fresh supply of good will and happi-
ness, until there were fifteen jolly
young men seated around Mr. Rey-
nold's cheerful fire in pleasant con
versation. We were entertained with
instrumental music by Misses Sadie
and Minnie West much to the en-
joyment of all Then we were called
to partake of bountiful repast
which seemed to be appreciated by
everyone. Returning to the parlor
we were favored with more music,
both vocal and instrumental, by the
Misses West. We enjoyed the treat
as only the lovers of good music can,
and when it ended we could only
wish that at some future time we
might have the pleasure of hearing
it repeated.
The rest of the evening passed in
social chat and the time came, all too
soon, when we must part
We sincerely wish Mr.. Reynolds
many happy returns of the day, and
if it is not our lot to be present in
1887, we can never forget the happy
time we had on January 25, 1885,

EFFECTS OF RAILROAD FACILITIES
UPoN THE TowN.-There are some
very palpable errors entertained by
our people regarding the effect of the
completion of our railroad upon the
development of the town.
There is one class of people who
were anticipating very sudden
and formidable influx of population
as soon as the railroad was ascertain
ed to be fixed fact; and because they
do not see people rushing in over
each others shoulders they are ready
to accept the opposite conclusion
and say that a railroad is no good
and will he of no benefit to the
town.
But people of cool and intelligent
judgment have anticipated inestim-
able benefits and certain develop
ment from the opening of a railroad,
but that these would come in bust
ness like and gradual way-and they
will not be disappointed.
People and capital will not rush
into Morgantown, as they have some
times done into a Western town
But these will come, nevertheless
The accumulation will be sufficiently
uniform and gradual to prevent any
excitement or surprise, yet every
year every month the improvement
will be marked A new man will
drop down here and there; new
house will spring up. here and there;
a new business will be started; more
capital will be employed; there will
be more men of large means, and
men who have heretofore found it
difficult to employ small means, OF
find local market or demand for
the products of their business be
yond very narrow limit, will en-
large and branch out; and thus be
fore five years have passed, a sum
mary of the changes and improve
ments in population and business
will be formidable and surprising
although they will have melted nc

curing. This. very thing has been

The GENERAL speaking
of the communication of the sentence
of James Jolliff, by the two associate
judges Of Greene county, the
Waynesburg Messenger says:
This change, of course. was high
ly gratifying to Mr.. Joliff, his law
yers, Hon. A. A. Purman and r. F.
Downey, Esq, as well as to wide
circle of friends throughout the
county, and in fact seemed to meet
the very general appreciation of the
people, who, by reason of Mr.. Jol-
lifts past reputation as an excellent
citizen and law abiding man, felt a
warm sympathy for the accused.

STRUCK WITH BLINDNEss.-O last
Monday, Locomotive Engineer Rob
ert 5. Hollis, Of the b. d 0. X. r.,
living at Rowlesburg, who had
been suffering for some days with
spinal trouble, suddenly lost his
sight.
We learn that Mr.. Hollis strained
his back by heavy lifting, and was
couined to his bed, when this sad
afliiction came upon him. rl
The news comes that his sight
is so totally gone that he can only
distinguish the day from the night.
tits hoped, however, that the Attic
tion is but temporary. Mr.. Hollis
is well-known and universally liked.
He is one of the kindest and best
dispositioned men in the the county,
and is, therefore, extremely popular.

successful period of work among us,
departed this morning for other
fields of labor. During her stay here
she became acquainted with great

her kindly ways and the undoubted

May her life be as pleasant as it is

THE STATE.

Thomas Jefferson Harper, a prominent
physician Of Vicksburg, died in that city
on the 18th, aged eighty-hve years.
We take the following account of
killing in Vicksburg on the 18th, from
special to the Times Democrat VICKs-
BURG, Jan. lS.-Between ~ and O'Clock
last night a difficulty occurred in the
Planters Club-rooms, in this city, over
game Of cards. between james Marshall.
the proprietor, and Jack McKenna, re-
suting in the death of the latter by
pistol shot, and supposed mortal wounding
OF JONAS Goodman, of Greenville., Miss,
who was in the room at the time.
McKenna was rather desperate character,
aud just two years ago yesterday he
killed Eward Wilson, keeper OF a gambling
saloon in the same neighborhood, and at
the same hour at which his death occurred
last night. He has been mixed up
in other shooting scrapes in this city during
night was provoked by himself He had
made numerous threats during the past
few days that he would kill Marshall dur
ing the night. After engaging IN the game
Of cards and playing a few minutes, he sue
ceeded in starting the fuss, and told Mar
shall "he had come there to do him up"
and suiting the action to the word, be
sprang from his seat, drew his pistol and
began firing, first jerking gentleman who
was near in front OF him TO use as a breast
work. Marshall seeing his danger and
not wishing to do any reckless shooting,
rushed up, showed the third party aside,
and fred twice, the first shot being the fatal
one, the other a flesh wound. McKenna
fell and Marshall left the room. AS Good
man was leaving the room and had reach
ed the door, McKenna fired the last shot in
his pistol, the ball entering the back of the
unfortunate man. McKenna was then re-
moved to his room and physician sent
for, but when he arrived he found the man
dead. Marshall gave himself up and was
placed in Jail. The coroner's jury this
morning rendered a verdict of iustifable
killing, and he was discharged but he was
afterwards re-arrested and tried before the
Mayor, when he was again discharged
Goodman at last accounts was resting
easy, but very little hopes are entertained
Of his recovery. Marshall was not iniur-
