Duck hunting is the rage now 0
the genus sport.
TETS is dipbtheretic weather. B.
careful Of the little ones.
An effort ID being made to hav,
mail brought in on the 1925 p. M
train. Under such an arrangement
matter sent from Wheeling at
o'clock would reach here in the even
ing.
IT is predicted that twenty new
residences will be built in Morgan
town within the next year. Th'
parties who will build eight Of then
have announced their intention O
doing so.
The supper q la lemon" at thu
home of Miss Lille Hagans on to

teresting entertainment and all those

Of rare fun is promised.
DR.. WADE has just performed q
singular experiment that Is of inter
est. He pulled tooth for patient
and then replaced it and has sue
ceeded in making it grow fast in the
Jaw bone and it now seems as good
as ever.
WITH all the rains of last week
Cheat river did not get high enough
to bring the thousands of logs from
the headwaters to Point Marion.
The number at that place now is less
than 1000, which only makes few
weeks saving.
THERE is to be another oil well
sunk at Warrington with strong
hopes of striking gusher. A little
oil was found in the Jackson well
and the operators are confident that
it has marked the pool. Professor
Drill will settle the question.
MAKE up your list of papers and
periodicals for the coming year.
This is the season to spend the long
evenings profitably in reading. The
New DOMINION can furnish you with
any periodical you want cheaper
than you can get it elsewhere.
A FAvoRITE craze for our young
people is the Sunday meeting'
parties. Every Sunday there is a
large party leaves here on the morn
ing boat and goes down the river
until the return boat is met, and
boarding her return the same night.
AND now Fairmont wants to make
the world believe that the only rea-
son why there is slackwater at Nor
gantown is because she happens to
be on the river bank, as the terminal
point of navigation is intended to be
at Fairmont. Yes, that's the reason,
If sour grapes count.
VIZ learn that the West Morgan
town Bridge Company will declare
six per cent. dividend for the year
1889. The bridge in former years
had not been the best paying insti-
tuition imaginable, but the increased
business in the county this year has
its influence in the bridge finances.
Our neighboring and moral town
of Waynesburg has an organization
called the "Mothers Meeting" the
object of which is to consider the
best mode of caring for and direct
ing the footsteps of the youth
Very commendable, and like move
ment wouldn't do any harm in Nor
gantown.
THIS is about the way the oil boom
in Marion county stands: The oil
men are thick as black birds. They
get lots of leases, they make lots of
promises to put down wells, but that
is about all. Every time new oil
man comes around he promises to
commence putting down well as
soon as he secures 1000 or 5000
acres of land but soon after he gets
the desired amount of leases he
strikes out for market to sell his
leases.
VERY often it happens that one
must go away from home to learn
the news of his own locality. We
never would have known the follow
ing if the Pittsburg Dispatch had
not said it: "Since navigation upon
the Monongahela has been opened to
Morgantown, W, We. practically the
entire community turns out and
spends Sunday in hunting rabbits.
Aundreds of the animals are brought
to the boat Monday morning for
shipment to Pittsburg."
LAST Monday Prof. Myers receiv-
ed check from Secretary Window
for goodly amount in payment for
the last few consignments of butter
seat him from the creamery at this
place. Mrs. Window, who seems to
hold full prerogative in the domestic
affairs of the household, sent letter
expressing her great satisfaction
with the quality of the butter and
placing permanent order for regu-
lar supplies. Hon. S. B. Elkins also
gets his butter here. The creamery
has standing order from Pitts
burg firm to take all the butter that
can be sent them.
That part of Foundry street
which used to connect Front and
Garrett street was demolished by
the grade Of the Blackbottle and our
CITY authorities have been for quite
a time soliciting the B. & o. to
make the street over again. Wednes-
day party of that company's Of
ficials come. here and located new
street between where the old one was
and the dwelling house on the cor
ner, which is to at once be opened.
For over two years there has been
no street there, though one has all
the time been necessary. 1t will be
open for travel in few days.
ANOTHER well on the VIM. Core
farm came in on Saturday. 1t is
a producer to the amount of 500
barrels of oil per day and was sunk
by the McCalmont Oil Company,
one-eigth royalty to the land owner.
Some weeks since DR.. David H.
Courtney, of Mt. Morris, purchased
one-half of the royalty of Mr.. Core
and that purchase puts the jovial
doctor fairly into handsome in
come for some years to come. DR..
Courtney owns interests in several
other wells, making for himself in a
