The influx of students has been
so preponderous in the last few days

impossibility.
SQUIRE ALEXANDER deals in the

The reputation of these fertilizers is

The report that race track was

MEssRs. Gus AND YES BARKER have
bought tremendous big circular
saw mill that they will locate in their
timber land in Preston county and
turn out lumber by the tens of thous-
ands. We hope they will make a
fortune out of their venture.
THE Glenmoore, after very sue
cessful season, will, we are informed,
close September 10. This hotel is
situated right in the midst of the
wild Cheat Businesses, but has be-
come SO popular in its two seasons
of existence as to achieve wide
reputation for good management and
fare. 1t has helped to make the
Cheat country famous.
The fact of such a large number
of boys performing gymnastic evo-
lutions on the awning pillars in front
of Miller's is cause of alarm
Every night there is crowd of them
there and they climb, slide down and
act up generally in such a reckless
fashion that there is danger of some
of them breaking their foolish little
necks. Parents who have boys who
play on these poles would better
keep them away.
Mr. G. W. L. MAYERs, the well
known contractor and builder, was
here yesterday looking after the con-
tract for the new court house. The
New DOMINION would be glad to see
the county court award him the con-
tract for the new building. Besides
being practical builder Mr. May
ers is an architect of considerable
skill and has put up many costly
buildings in this State. He built
the handsome court house in Clarks-
burg.
THOUGH matters have progressed
to very satisfactory stage in the
preparation and arrangement for the
building of the new court house
there are still those whose mission
in life at present seems to be to balk
the plan by every way possible and

house is to be built, objections or
no objections, it would be well for
you to reserve your opposition until
some other beneficial public measure
is ordered.

up. This complaint has become
quite general of late. The low water
is bad smelling and contains disease
germs. The reason of the wells dry
ing is said to be so much dry wealth
er after so continued siege of wet
weather. We are glad that the wa
ter works will forever make water
famine here an unknown quantity.
The water of Tibb's run is also pure.
There are very few wells in town
that are not failing. Such general
dry up has not been known here for
years. Be careful of the water you
drink and take all precautions for
purifying it.
On the 2Sth of September the citi
zens of Morgantown will vote on the
proposition to issue bonds for SO, 900,
at five per cent interest, payable in
81 years, for the purpose of con-
structing system of sewerage and
providing fire department for the
town. The town has now an indebt
edness of $4,000, and it is believed
that the new ordinance will be rati-
fed. 1t seems to us that system
of sewerage is necessary for the full
enjoyment of the water that has
lately been put in that town. We
hope the new ordinance will be rati
fed. We never knew town to lose
ANYTHING by making such improve
