in regular operation by the 4th Of
next July, clear through from Fair
mont to Sutton. Weston will boom
for the next year, but after that
the boom is not so certain, for then
she will only be a station on the
way, whereas 10 she is the central
depot for the whole trade. She is
already putting on metropolitan
airs with her broad streets, side
walks and the near prospect Of
electric lights. 1t is expected that
the electric light company will be
ready to light the town by Christ
mas. All that is wanting o is
for the councii to say, "Let there
be light" and there will be light,
and plenty of it. One of the big

Herb Medicine Company. They
have a big factory along side the

manufacturing their remedies in
large quantities and shipping them

WESTON AND THE NEW RAIL.
ROAD,

Weston just now is enjoying a
boom that has Weakened up the old
town as she was never Weakened up
before. We we're there all week,
week before last, and the differences
marked hat we could not help but
notice it. The new railroad is doing
it. The IN that is being built
from Fairmont up the West Fork
river, via. Clarksburg and Weston
to Buckhanon and from Weston to
Sutton in Braxton county. The
road is to be standard gauge from
FairmOnt to Buckhanon and mar
row gauge from Weston to Sutton.
The part between Fairmont and
Clarksburg is new out and out,
road bed and all, while the part
between Clarksburg and Buckhan-
on follows the bed of the present
narrow gauge most of the way.
Some changes are made to avoid
sharp curves and save heavy grades
and trestling, and there will be one
tunnel between Clarksburg and
Weston, at Lovebury's Bend. The
work is mostly done between Fair
mont and Clarksburg and while we
were in Weston, large gangs of
Italians were being moved up from
that end of the road to the Braxton
end. They would stop over a day
in Weston and lay in a quantity Of
supplies, and drink beer in enor-
nous quantities.. The town would
be over-run with them for a day and
night, chattering and Ginning away
in their Ito us) unintelligible jar
gon, when they would move on to
their field Of labor. They all seem
ed to have plenty of money and
would leave considerable Of it be-
hind. They seemed to be in organ
lied squads, each one in charge Of
"a leader who acted as Interpreter,
and who was looked up to and
minded by the others. They would
none Of them buy except where
their leader bought, and there the
whole squad would invest. They
were not long in finding out the
saloons and imbibcd freely, but
were not as boistrous as might be
expected. Long lines Of teams
passed through Weston, loaded with
the baggage Of the hands and the
tools Of the contractors and the
hands themselves. Railroad men,

West Virginia Still Ahead OF the
Wild and WOOlly West.

Lincoln county is again stirred
up with the terrible vendetta that
has cursed that part of the State for
years. Sunday evening, the 9th
Of last month, while'Little Al'Brum-
field and wife were returning froma
visit to her fathers, both riding the
same horse, they were fired upon by
ambushed assailants and terribly
wounded. Suspicion Mt once point
ed to Green Mccoy and Milt Haley,
two notorious characters of the
community, who left at once for
Kentucky. Last week they were
captured and brought back and
while on their way to the Jail at
Hamlin, the officials in charge stop
ped at Green Shoals Thursday night
to stay at George Frys. That night
an armed force of about sixty men,
took the two desperadoes out and
riddled them with bullets. Thus
West Virginia still maintains her
reputation as set forth in our motto,
MoRtani SemDeri Liberi, to do as
they please.

He might as well say he can't afford
