The Farmers store has just re
ceived 20 sides Of sole leather which
will be sold cheaper than ever before
ADAM Bower has bought of Thos
Gregg the vacant lot between that
gentIeman's residence and DR.. Cas-
selberry's.
DIR. McLANE's newly repaired
house on Main street adjoining r
X. O'Kelley's, is now occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. F. J.-Utterback.
WE LEARN that several outside
contracts preparatory to the build
ing of the new court house will be
let at the next session of the county
court
Court adjourned on Monday even
ing, vacation to last until Friday,
when the business will again be TAX
en- up by Judge Jacobs and continue
until Nov. 25.
DoN'r get out Of patience, fellow
citizens. The steamboat will be
along in a short time, though its ar
rival has been necessarily delayed
from the advertised time.
OMER SNYDER, who in one of his
recent encounters with John Bar
leycorn" fell down and broke his col
lar bone, is able to be out again. He
says he'll 'never take another one"
A PARTRIDGE was piping in the
Mayors park at the head of Pleas
ants street, on Sunday, and people
we're remarking that the Mayor
ought to have his sign up against
trespassers.
WILLARD f. ST.. CLAIR, Of near
Stewartstown, lost two fine hogs
weighing about $50 pound each a
few nights ago, supposed to have
been killed by lightning. A consi-
derable loss.
FIVE young ladies of this place
are now busily engaged the Expert
ment Station putting copies of the
annual report Of the director in en-
velopes to mail The report embra-
ces the work done since the estab-
lishment of the station forthis State.
The strict police surveillance pro-
vided by Mayor Fast made Hallow-
cen about the same as other nights
in point of quietness. A mask par
ty or two on the streets was the only
thing out of the ordinary.
Mr.. SHELBY WELTNFR, of near
Stewartstown, will in a few days re-
move a roof from his house that has
been on for 81 years, and strange to
say does not leak much yet. How
does that compare with our roofs of
late date?
WE WOULD like to have a few
rough guesses, not estimates or COM
putations made from strict observa-
ton, as to the outlay Of Morgantown
citizens monthly for gas. We mean
the aggregate We don't believe
any one can guess near the exact
amount.
Mr.. MoRELAND in defending one of
the Diedrick boys who was charged
with hitting one Blosser with a
handy billy, said: "This young
man got his reputation for peaceable-
ness by hard knocks" Mr. Cox:
ayes, and one of the knocks is the
one he gave Blosser."
The old trouble about the jim
town road is again arisen. The road
is,even this early in the season, again
almost impossible and the need of a
good road there was never SO great
as now for the teams that daily haul
the oil well supplies. The repairs OF
the summer seem not to have been
of permanent character.
News comes to us of another gush-
er in the Doll run field. 1t is the
Hukill we'll on the David Wise farm
and it is said will do from so to loo
barrels day. And still the field
keeps growing with more producing
wells and no mystery about them.
That portion of Monongalia is full
of good oil wells.
THERE are few, very few boys
in this town who are fit subjects for
the discipline of the Reform school
but, by the way what has become Of
the Reform school project? Some
time since it was settled that it was
to be located at Pruntytown and that
was the last that we have heard Of
it. How is it, Supt. Morgan?
HUSTON and DEMAIN had Charlie
Hayes new building under roof in
% days from the day it was com.
menced, being the most rapid build
ing ever done here. 1t is but few
months since that an entire season
was put in in building an ordinary
dwelling, but now a month or six
weeks is all the time that is consum
ed.
STILL there is nothing definite
about the Warrington well. The
well has succeeded in making tht
public unusually curious to know its
capacity on account of the long time
it takes to determine that point
An oil wells an oil well and dry
hole is a dry hole and down here in
Monongalia it don't take long to tel
which is which.
THE celebration scheme dom
seem to strike our people. They
want to see the excursionists wit
come here that day do the
thusing for us. OF course we ar
the ones who are benefited by
the slackwater extension, but W,
must preserve our back number dig
nifty and only smile benignly. Oh
people, get move on you.
SHERIFF JONES went to Clarksburs
last week to bring Old Hundred her
to stand his trial for revenue viola
tions, he having served his 30-da,
term in the Clarksburg Jail, but tn
man was very low with typhoid feve
and there are many doubts express
ed as to his recovery. If he doe
recover there is a serious indictmen
in this county he will have to answe
for and if he don't his answer vii
be recorded in higher court.
Now, farmer friends, because Their
are land buyers going through tn
county it is no reason that yo
