Work on the new railroad from

The supper la lemon at Miss

was a success in every particular
The plan OF the affair was new and
,roved quite taking.
The Union Thanksgiving services
tomorrow morning will be held al

r. Pres. REAy is the only citizen

ling.
LAUGH and grow fat" You lean

at this.
MAIDsvILLE landing is said to ship
more rabbits to the Pittsburg mar
kets than any place along the river.
Rabbits are taken on there in great
quantities every day. They bring
% cents a pair.
The B. Il o. company has at last
decided to put gas into the depot
building at this place and Maj. Nc
Grew is consequently happy. The
B. u O's action is an example of the
principle of latter many days"
The receipts at the recent supper
at the Presbyterian church were $50
instead of 500, as reported. There
is class of people in every town
who regard it as the most brilliant
thing imaginable to tell a crooked
tale to a newspaper man. To one
Of these we owe a grudge for leading
us into the above error.
WHEN business man cannot "af-
ford" to advertise his business in
the columns of his local paper, he
cannot afford to be in business, and
you cannot afford to deal with him.
His knowledge of business would be
so limited that he wouldn't know
enough to deal literally with you.
The object in all advertising is to
make business-to increase the bust
ness of the advertiser The man
who does not understand this is not
fit to do business.
JUDGE HAGANs is the victim of an
outrage that would well make any
body but good natured man
(Which he Isl say bad words. He
had a nice Thanksgiving turkey
fattening in his coop which increas-
ed in heft and succulent qualities
each day, but he has that turkey no
more forever. Last Sunday night
it disappeared leaving nothing but
some tail feathers behind. The
Judge takes it good naturally but
would like to catch the thief.
WE would like for Thos. R. Evans
to call meeting of the fanciers of
good horsefesh, of Monongalia, the
object of which meeting shall be to
make the necessary preparations for
having horse fair here next spring,
summer and fall. OF course the
steps to be taken in the matter this
early would simply be preliminary.
but ii there is to be fair the vari-
GUS details must necessarily be ar
ranged in advance. There is now
strong sentiment in favor of the fair
and by all means let it be gotten up
All in favor of the fair would do well
to correspond with Mr.. Evans on the
subject. These columns are open to
help the cause along.
A SHOCKING occurance took place
at Catawba last Friday about noon.
A little four year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Rowe was left in the
house while the mother went to feed
a pig some 200 yards away. In her
absence the child went too near the
fire, or was playing with the fire,
when its dress became ignited and
in a few moments the child's cloth
ing was entirely consumed, leaving
the flesh in black crisp. The lit
tie victims screams brought the
neighbors and affrighted mother to
the scene, but it was too late. DR..
Kramer, of Smithtown, was sent for
and did all he could, but the child
only lived few hours.
The people of Blacksmith are the
most enthusiastic ones in favor of
the W. d W extension more so by a
great deal than the denizens of
Greene county's Petrolia. Blacks
vile offers every inducement in the
way of free rights of way &C., and
Mt. Morris offers nothing. But then
what does Morgantown offer? The
same as Mt. Morris. Blacksville de-
serves the road. Her people are fully
awake to the advantages accruing
to their section by it's building, and
if the other two places are awake to
the same matter they have very
unsubstantial way of showing it.
The road is likely to be built to
Blacksville. What are Mt. Morris
and Morgantown going to do to
bring it ahead farther?
A MAN from Ohio went into Par
kersburg the other day and, after
giving the people good references as
to his character, habits and ability
to run business, asked for con-
siderable amount to start a berry
box mandatory at that place. AL
most before he could state his plan
the money was raised, and the fac
tory is go. Why can't we do the
same thing in Morgantown? Be
cause the projectors can't make an
affidavit to those solicited to invest
that the enterprise in question will
not declare 40 per cent dividend
from the word go. Parkersburg is
growing faster than any town in the
State and the reason is that her bus
mess men see an indirect profit from
every new manufacturing plant es-
tablished there. Morgantown wants
to grow, but her growth can only be
accelerated by the substantial aid of
her business men lent to enterprises
desiring to locate in our town.
