New Clarksbnrg.

New CLARKsBURG, Jan. 1--we
are going to have some winter if
nothing happens. The thermometer
registers 10 degrees below zero,
wind high, snow drifted in places 10
feet or more.
Our friend W. II. r., is still on the
war path wearing a red nubia and a
cold nose.
The prospects are good for Mr..
George Nuce to lose one of his
daughters. A wedding is on the ia
pis. We wish them good luck, and
plenty of it.
We were mistaken in the time
about the meeting commencing at
Mt. Pleasant ("Hog Eye'); it was
to commence the 18th inst. Hope
they will have good time.
We wish for the railroad to be
speedily finished, we are anxious to
hear the whistle.
Miss Jennie Nuce is some better,
she is able to be up.
Mrs. Mary A. Hall is quite poorly
with rheumatism.
Aunt Beckey Davis is no better
Geo. Nuce has two dashing dandy
young dudes.

The Senatorship is the only thing
now in politics which gentlemen find
it possible to get up difference
about. That election is a year dis
tant.
Nevertheless, some newspapers
and writer's insist that we shall elect
the Senator now. They enjoy the
innocent amusement of setting up a
candidate every week and then knock
ing him down again.
Nearly every prominent man in
the State has already been subjected
to this interesting process. One cor
respondent sets his candidate on the
pinnacle Of successful candidacy and
Immediately a half dozen others be-
gin to shoot at him. When he has
been sufficiently riddled with paper
bullets to render him ineligible for
an actual campaign, the nominating
source shows its valor by hauling
him off for repairs.
We presume that the several emf
nent men who have thus had their
biographies and their obituaries
served up in the public prints, and
been permitted to read them with
their own eyes, have found profita-
Bile diversion in thus seeing them
selves as others see them and dis
covering entirely new and unex-
pIored resources in their public
characters.
The last addition to the number
OF candidates who have thus been
compelled to come up to the trough,
fodder or no fodder, is ex-senator
Davis. He protests, but some think
he protests too much. He has re-
Gently given the public new batch
of statistics relating to the growth

status Of the Water Question.


The canvass that was made last
week to determine the sentiment of
our people on the water works en-
terprise; was not very thorough,
but was quite sufficient to discover a
very decided disposition in support
OF it.
There is, in fact, greater unan-
unity among citizens ON this subject
than upon almost any public ques-
ton that could be proposed. Nearly
every man who was approached at
tached his signature, without hest
tation, as a patron of the enterprise.
Only one or two declined absolutely,
and less than half dozen offered
reasons for delay in committing
themselves.
The report was, therefore, made
to The gentlemen at Pittsburgh who
propose to put in the plant, and they
were requested to send an engineer,
at once, to look over the ground,
make an estimate of the cost, and
determine some other preliminary
questions.
The report of the engineer is neces-
sary not only to determine the cost,
but also from what source it will be
most practicable and desirable to
bring the water-whether from the
well ut the head or foot of the town,
or from the river; as well as to de-
termine the feasibility of utilizing
the gas at the lower we'll.
When this report is made At will
form the basis upon which to begin
operations, and of any contract that
the Monongalia Improvement Com
pany may want to make with the
Pittsburgh company. No contract
or agreement has yet been attempted
between them. Nor has any under
standing been reached as to whether
the Pittsburgh company will take
stock in the home company or simp-
" put in the plant for the home
company at stipulated price, OR
whether they will act as an indie
pendent company and own and oper-
ate the works after they are estab-
lishcd. We understand that these
Pittsburgh gentlemen have made no
special conditions as yet, but
simply hold themselves in readiness
to invest their money in the enter
prise, if the investment can be
made reasonably secure and profit
able.
All that is now demanded of our
citizens is that they will be suffi-
GENTLY unanimous and liberal in
support of the works to make the
enterprise practicable. There is
scarcely question, but that every
body will patronize the works when
they are once established, but it is
essential to the establishment of the
works that this disposition be mani
tested in advance.

Let the Hosts of Right Advance Against
the Open Saloon-A Trap for the Young
by Day; the Devils Stronghold at Night.
The open saloon is the enemy of the
home. Its garish lights outshine in the
boys eyes the evening lamp in the sit
ting-room at home; its boisterous So
ciety outweighs in attractiveness the
company of "mother and the girls" at
home. Shall we in effect say to the
young man, inexperienced in the ways
of the world, eager to share its pleas
ure and measure its joys: You may
fall into temptation, but that is your
own lookout. You can not pass from
your home TO your place of employ
ment without passing a score of places
that you should never enter. But you
must look out for yourself. These sa-
loonists have to live, and if you are
fool enough to become their bond
slave, it is your own affair" Shall we
not rather. knowing the unmitigated
evil of the saloon, crush it, that our
young men may be delivered from
needless and most terrible temptationP
Is there a thinking man, outside of
the minions of the rum power itself,
even though he may be an occasional
dr1nker himself, who will hesitate to
aid. by voice and vote, the eradication
of this evil? The saloon is q trap for
the young by day, by night the rally
ing-point for those who do the devils
work. 1t lays its impious hand upon
religion, and the observance of the
Sabbath day goes down before its with
ering touch, that it may have seven
days in a week in which to tempt man
kind. 1t exacts heavier tribute from
the community than the most despotic
government upon which the sun ever
shone ever wrung from its myriads of
groaning serfs. 1t reaches out and
destroys the home; it goes into politics
and sways the destiny of the country;
it overshadows the land as it was
fabled did the upas, whose breath was
death to all who came beneath its
shadow.
The saloon must go. The blood of
the thousands and tens of thousands it
has slain cries out for its overthrow.
The groans and signs and tears of
heart-broken mothers and fathers, the
agonies of worse than widowed wives,
the shame and degradation of myriads
of children, go up IN one mighty accu-
sat;on against it. Are our ears leaden,
that we can not hear? Are our eyes
blinded, that ne can not see? Are we
