All Ready.

j. w. Rowland and A. NJ. Com
stock, of Emlenton, Pa, President
and. Secretary of the Union Improve.
ment Company, were here all last
week on business for their company
mainly to prepare the start on the
work for the water works.
The pipe for the line was ordered
Monday and as soon as it arrives
the work of construction will begin.
A great effort will then be made to
complete the work by July l. These
gentlemen were much pleased with
the boom prospect for Morgantd~n
and SO expressed themselves. Their
company has invested q great deal
of money in this county and they
are assured of good solid dividends
from it, They also said that they
expected big money from their water
works, and that the amounts sub
scribed did not signify in any meas
ure the revenue that would be de
rived from their construction.
We are pleased with the confidence
these men show in the enterprise. 1t
means that our people are destined
soon to see the munifcent results OF
encouraging this company. They
brought us gas, will bring us water
and in the train of these will follow
a development of our resources never
dreamed of in its eXtensiveness.

healthy condition of affairs, indi-
Gated a large increase in the men,

A Kingwood Mans Bad Accident.

Our fellow townsman, Mr.. J. Mil
ton Allen, came near losing his life
last Monday. As he jumped over a
fence out on his piece Of land near
town, he ran stick in his nose.
After he got to town the injured or
gan began bleeding again. He went
into the Exchange Hotel and there
lost over five pints of blood. He was
gotten from there to DIR. Pratt's office,
and despite the Doctors efforts to
stop it the bleeding continued. He
lay down on lounge, and was seized
with a hard spasm. After losing
considerable blood, the hemorrhage
was gotten under control, and Mr..
Allen was taken home very weak
and scarcely able to walk.--Ktng-

Sudden Death.

ARNETTsvILLE, May 2, l8S9.-The
community was startled on last Tues
day morning by the sudden death OF
Mr. j. f. Glasscock, son of Daniel
Glasscock and brother of County
Superintendent Glasscock. Deceas-
ed had been troubled with heart dis
ease for sometime, but was better SO
as to be able to attend school here.
The night before his death he was
restless, but was better in the morn
ing and about ten o'clock, in com
pany with Mr.. Hugh Hood, went
across the creek to the field to catch
horse and, while standing talking,
dropped dead without uttering a
word. The deceased was a promin-
ent young man in the neighborhood
and his pleasant society will be miss
ed by large circle of friends. 1t
seems sad for one so promising to be
cut down in the beginning of his days
of usefulness and the relatives have
the sympathy of all in their bereave-
ment.
Farewell dear friend and schoolmate,
We miss you in our play,
We miss you in our social walks,
We miss you every day.
We gaze with sadness on his seat,
Which never can be filed;
No more will ring in merry laugh,
His voice forever stilled.
Our sympathy we kindly lend,
To his afflicted mother;
In equal measure we extend,
To father, sister, brother.
We hope to meet you Frank, again
Where partings are unknown,
There We'll be free from trial and pain,
Where Jesus claims his own.

The Death of Mrs. Lindsey.

The death of Mrs. John Lindsey
is peculiarly sad. But a few weeks
ago she left here, going to her home
in Pittsburg, very picture of health.
To-day she peacefully sleeps the
sleep that knows no waking in Oak
Grove. Mrs. Lindsey was the daugh-
ter of Frederick A. Dering, one of
our Oldest and best citizens, who but
few weeks ago was called to his
rest. Mrs. Lindsey was a native of
Morgantown and one of her favorite
daughters. Many Of her old asso-
ciates are still here and without an
exception they are filled with sorrow
at the death of their friend-a friend
whom all loved and respected. She
leaves a husband and two children, a
son and daughter, besides a large
circle of relatives and a legion of
friends TO mourn her death. May
she rest in peace.

MuniciDal Election,

Next Monday will occur the an
nual municipal election for this town
and a good deal of interest is center
ed in it on account of the square is
sue of license or no license to the
liquor traffic, coming up for the con-
sideration of voters. 1t is probable
anti-license will win the day.
For Mayor the present incumbent
will have no opposition at all. He
could not be defeated. Everyone
knows of the long and progressive
strides in the towns improvement
that have been made under the Fast
administration He has been sup
ported by a good and intelligent
/ board of aldermen, too, but to Mr.
Fast the main credit is due for many
matters for which he has been com
mended by every progressive citi-
zen.
We never had five councilmen who
have looked to the material welfare
of the town and aided the mayor as
Messrs. Dorsey, O'Kelly, Shisler,
Hennen and Purinton have. We say
that their superiors for the positions
they hold have never been in the of
fee in this town. They have let the
people know what they have done
and their work has been and still is
appreciated. There will be some
other names on the council ticket,
| but the old council is reasonably
certain of re election.
Marshall M. Dent is the Recorder
and will cast his die in the arena
again. There are several candidates
for this office quietly whispered
about, but Mr.. Dent has done pretty
we'll the past year, and he like the
others, will contract case of re-elec-
ton.
There will be no election for town
sergeant. The. council has the APP
pointing of this officer. 1t is wise
provision.
The School Board election takes
place at the same time. There will
be two sets of tickets out for seats on
the Board" Many people are very
ardent in the cause of the present
members, while others are just as de
voted to another set of folks. The
fight, really, is over very small af-
fair, but the matter will be settled
Monday and we shall see what we
shall see.

The creamery began operations on
May L., and is continuing regularly
in its work every day. The farmers
are beginning to equip themselves
for it and it is expected that in a
short time the list of patrons will be
largely increased At present there
are ten patrons. German Bros, p.
f. Harner, A. j. Koontz, A. L. Nye,
L. Pickenpaugh G. Vandervort, X.
Fife, II. MADEIRA, o. IL. Ollie and D.
G. Hoffman, with prospects of large
number beginning at an early date.
The first day we received 439
pounds of milk, which has increased
regularly until yesterday, when we
received 635 pounds. The total pro
duct of butter to date is about SO
pounds. All that has been sold has
been sold at 35 cents per pound.
The first shipment of butter was
made Thursday and went to Conner
q Snedeker fine grocerymen of
Wheeling. No positive contracts as
to prices can be entered into until it
is definitely known how much butter
can be guaranteed.
The butter and butter milk is on
sale at Mr.. George Hayes in Nor
gantown, where they can be had fresh
every day. The butter milk up to
date, has found market in the town
and will be delivered to citizens in
the town at 10 cents per gallon. Ii
however, they wish it regularly, say
every other day or on certain days
of the week, it will be delivered by
the creamery at s cents per gallon.
Butter milk secured at Mr.. Hayes
will be sold at the same rate and
whenever any one wishes quantity
of it for cooking or for special pur-
poses, they will always find it fresh
in his hands. The prices for butter
milk will probably remain constant
throughout the season; the price for
butter, however will vary with the
markets and the demand For this
week, butter will sell at 80 cents per
pound. Parties wishing it can Sc
cure it either at the Station or of Mr..
George Hayes.
Parties desiring pure, fresh cream
should leave orders for the same at
the Station the evening before in or
der that it may be sweet for them.
This cream is unusually thick and
excellent and the price for it will
fuctuate with the price of butter.
The creamery is making the purest
and best quality of butter and pa
irons will find it perfectly dry, crisp
and fresh, and whenever a superior
quality of butter is wanted, it is
commended.
The butter milk, as delivered, will
be almost sweet except upon Mon
DAYS, at which time. it will be lit
tie sour, but persons desiring sour
milk can keep it a day longer at
home when it will be sufficiently
sour to suit their tastes. The but
ter milk will be found to be of ex-
cellent quality and good flavor, but
not characterized by the presence of
much butter, as in the case of butter
milk everywhere, it should be thor
oughly stirred before emptying it
from one vessel into another
Mr.. Lazier will have a superior
quality Of butter milk ice cream on
sale every evening which it is thought
will meet with high favor as soon as
its merits become known. This will
be served by him at his parlors, or
delivered in quantities to suit pur-
chasers at prices that may be salts
factory to all concerned.

Last Saturday as student Sivey
was playing ball in the base ball
field, South Morgantown, being in
the catcher's position, he was struck
on the nose with the ball, the force
of which broke that member square
in two. He was taken to DIR. Harti-
gan's residence and the latter gen
tleman performed the necessary sur
gerry to setting the bones and plas-
tering it mp. The accident was
quite a serious and painful one,
though Mr.. Sivey is now able to be
on the streets. The base ballists
say the moral of the whole business
is to never catch behind the bat
without a mask 1t is likely that
Sivey will profit by the above moral.
