The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1888-12-22

8fLlclcS u1Spidyeu On Inc Counters,
shelves and in the show cases Of Geo
C. Hayes & Co, far excel any line Of
Holiday Goods ever before offered
by that popular firm, or in fact any
thing we have ever before seen in
Morgantown. The goods for Christ
mas presents for young married peo-
pie, for bridal gifts, or for the older
housekeeper have been very judicious-
ly selected with an eye to their util-
ity, beauty and cheapness. The line
comprises a most beautiful collec-
tion of silverware-solid and plated
Ia vast amount of jewelry of the
latest and prettiest designs from
which no one can fail to select some
thing that will make their friends
happy. 1t was bought to suit all.
You can get anything you can afford
to pay for-unless you want shoddy
this firm hasn't any of that. In
the line of clocks you can get any
thing from a mammoth regulator to
dainty little ticker for lady's a
dressing case.
Nothing is more acceptable to a
young housekeeper than pretty
clock and few things you can offer
will be more useful or ornamental
From the array of jewelry you can
get anything from wedding ring to
set of solid silverware. 1t would
be simply out of the question to
enumerate everything in short
newspaper article, but we can add
that there is bewildering array of
toys for the little folks, some of them
very suitable too, for children of
larger growth. Besides all these use
full and ornamental things it is we'll
known that George Hayes always
keeps one of the finest lines of groc-
cries in town; best cofees, teas, SUI
gars, canned goods, confectionaries
and sweatmeats. You will do well
to go and see them before making
your Christmas purchases.
To the Farmers Of Monongalia County.
We are in receipt of letter from
Hon. b. L. Butcher Secretary of the
West Virginia Board of Immigra-
tion and Development, making in
curry about lands for sale in this
county.
In order that our people may un-
derstand just what he wants, we
herewith append the letter;
DEAR SIR:-We have numerous
inquiries for farm lands in large aud
small quantities at fair prices as
well as number of inquiries for
timber lands of all descriptions and
coal lands. We have been waiting
for our people through their local
organizations to forward us lists of
their lands for sale with a short de-
scription, prices, &c, with a view of
publishing list for general distri-
button. The number of tracts sent
in has been rather limited and to
make the list large enough to cover
the whole State, that is, lands in
every county, we urge you to send
us descriptive lists of landsyou have
for sale or control with prices, and
the persons to whom inquiries
should be directed. Also urge your
real estate men and other persons
who have lands for sale to do the
same thing at the earliest moment
possible. AS soon as the lists are
completed and printed expect to go
to the Northwest to secure purchas-
ers who will settle on these lands.
You are urged to renew your inter
est in this movement and urge upon
your people its Importance. l hope
to visit your county soon."
There ought to be a hundred farm
ers in this county who have land
to sell. The majority Of them are
Gland poor" They are poor by rea-
son of having more land than they
need and can cultivate. They ought
to sell. We want more people and
more money in this county.
Now let our farmers send in their
addresses and the quantity, charac-
ter and price of the lands they have
to sell.
