WITH this issue we discard the
patent outside Of the ARGUS and
come ont with an all at home print.
We have contemplated this change
for some time in order to give our
readers moro home news and have
more room for advertising, which
we have neglected heretofore in our
effort to give the people the local
news. We will hereafter give our
readers twice rs much state and
county news and will also give some
select literary matter, some poetry
and p short story each week, etc.
1t costs us more to publish all at
home and we will try to make the
paper more interesting than ever
and without raise in The price, which
will still be $3.50 per year. We also
offer some great inducements in our
clubbing list, which we ask you to
read carefully. We want good
correspondent at every town in the
county.

SATURDAY evening as the train
on the T., K. & II. was making her
regular run, the head of the
cylinder on the left hand side of the
engine broke, at the switch back,
but by slow running she made it on
to Tunnelton with. the coach, leay-
ing the freight behind. Engineer,
Newt McGee, was afraid to try to
run her back in that condition, as
it was liable to damage the engine
still more, so she was left there till
Monday and arrangements made
with Browns Machine Shop to re-
pair the break. George Brown,
who has a good big hack and a very
fine team, brought the passengers,
six in number, and the mail to
Kingwood that night, arriving
about $3.50. Conductor, Carroll,
and Brakeman, Conley, had to
walk home to get TO spend Sunday
with their families, rs there was not
room in the hack for all. It is a
shame that a road that will ply so
well as this one, ia managed SO
poorly. Two engines should be
kept ON hand all the time, one for
freight and one for passengers, cx-
press and the mail, and in case OF
accident, for Of course The best kind
Of an engine is liable to get out Of
order or get broke on such q road
as this and il might got damaged so
that it would take several days or
even weeks TO repair 10 and then
with only the one, the road would
have to be at stand still. The
way it has been so far, no one
knows when ho starts out ON the
train, whether hc would got TO his
destination or not and in fact the
road has SO Ter been about az unoar-
tain as tho weather and so far as
the mail connections are concerned
10 is no better Chan when wc had
the old hack line.
