are 1 200 each, we understand They
are splendid building sites.
II few of the abundance of worth

we're killed off there are several Of us
who would say amen.
ANOTHER lawn fete would be we'll
patronized now. If the churches
have not all the money they want
they might profit by this suggestion.
THERE have been no complaints of
the weather III the last few days, as
1t has been so salubrious as to suit
even the chronic growler. 1t Ger
tainly has been fine.
Our neighbor, South Morgantown,
is preparing to Macadamise the
main street from bridge to bridge,
which will make it one of the finest
roadways hcreabouts. They are pro-
gressive people, those South Morgan
towners.
THERE will be no more coal SHOW
cling at the University. At last ar
rangements have been made to have
gas put under the heaters and the
work is to be finished by Sept. l.
Water is also to be put in the build
ings and private fire plug on the
campus
McCLUREs Chapel, the new NJ. L.
church ON the Kingwood road, was
dedicated on Sunday last the SER
vices being conducted by Rev. d. C.
Wees, who was once popular pastor
on this work. Something over the
sum required to clear the church
from debt was raised before the ser
vice closed.
The Morgantown club means bus
mess with big b, and if Grafton
isn't satisfied that her crew can't
play ball already they will have an
abundant reason for so thinking az
ter the next game, when the stakes
will be 5000 and the gate money.
The day is yet to be fixad, but the
game is go

pleted, made the service connections
with the mains and is now in readi-
ness to use the water as soon as it is
turned into the mains. He is the
first as yet to have such work finish
ed. How many more will there be to
report next week.
The Wallace House though an
old and popular hostelry has never
enjoyed the steady trade for as long
season as at present, The register
generally shows the names of about
thirty strangers daily, besides the
two scores of people who live there
all the time and the transient pa
irons of the town and vicinity. Let
her boom.
ODD Fellows Halls have recently
been reftted throughout with new
carpets, new furniture, additions of
committee rooms, newly painted and
elegant new gas chandeliers. The
halls are the same size and extend
the full length of Odd Fellows build
ing, the new hall being the Waverly
transformed. These are two of the
prettiest and most elegantly appoint
ed lodge rooms in the State and are
just cause of the pride taken in
them.
The man who is loafer in this
town the present time has a poorer
excuse for so doing now than ever
before The builders are all overrun
with work, there is work at all the
trades, the water works give work to
as many as apply and hands are
needed in the oil field. On the other
hand there are no loafers to speak
of, as all have found work of some
kind. We don't need loafers and it
is gratifying to know there is no ne
cessity for the enforced idleness of a
single man.
If EVER town was inflicted with
poor, rotten, poverty stricken circuses
in a season this town has been this
season. The one on Monday was
even worse than its predecessors and
the slim crowd that attended was
bored numerically with school boy
acts and jokes that have been handed
down from generations. This alleg
ed show sails under the high sound
ing title of Gregory d De Alma's
People should shun itlike they would
the small pox or anything that
causes suffering. This barn storm
ing affair of "Gregory q De Alma"
should be suppressed. 1t guys the
people for being fools enough to pa
tronize it. Any show that comes
here will be attended by few people,
but this affair on Monday didn't pay
expenses.
In THE Monongalia oil field there
have been some new rigs finished
since last week and several new
wells started. Three new wells have
come in and are said to be good pro-
ducers. The business moves steadi-
ly along now, the only difference be-
ing that the new leases of each week
constantly broaden the field and give
hope that the great expectations
will prove realities. The work now
done shows that the field is a great
one and the development is now in
vigorous progress. In the popula-
ton of our town there have been a
few additions of oil men since last
week, and they are the authority for
the field being one of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant their locating
permanently and that they are only
the forerunners of what is to come.
Let them come; welcome awaits
them.
