truthfully called abundant.

Preston county, received good lib

full prosecutors of pension claims in

an official report Of the meeting.
The indications row point to the
defeat of the sewerage proposition at
the election on Saturday next. This
will not settle the question finally.
A new proposition will be submitted
in the future, something of differ
ent character that may be more ac-
ceptable to the people than the one
now pending.
A LITTLE more than half month
only, and then, oh, think of it, the
unbroken course of slackwater from
here to Pittsburg will be completed
and the long hoped for day of daily
packets to Morgantown will be
realization. The matter is no longer
one of doubt. The boats will be run
ming, though the entire work on the
dam will not be done at that time.

phasized well known fact when he
declared that Morgantown was the
most desirable town as a place of
residence he had ever BEEN Prof.
Purinton said: "The climate is all
that can be desired. The conven-
fences and luxuries are equal to
those of Il city and the pure water
caps them ALL"
The foundation for the new Ar
mory, Commencement Hall and Gym
nasium building is now under con-
tract. The contract for the brick

disappointment, yet it is doubtless
for the best, as all desire structure
which will add to the appearance of
the University grounds and be a
credit to West Virginia.
