Nearly Fifty Acres Picked Up in the
Town of Perrysville.
A GOOD HINT TO THE RAILROADS.
Fresh Stimulus Difused Throughout Local
Special Circles.
OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP

the plank road The exact price could not
be ascertained, but it was stated to be in
close proximity to $4,000. This is consld-
cred cheap for that locality, and especially
so in view of the promise of the extension
of rapid transit to Perrysville within year
or two, with the inevitable result of enhanc-
ing land values all along the line.
A Hint to Railroads.
A gentleman in discussing the road ques-
| ton yesterday made good suggestion to
the railroads. He said: "They could doa
great deal to promote good roads by i'm
proving and keeping in good repair those
leading from populous country districts to
their stations. This would be of great ad-
| vantage to their traffic. The building OF
good roads on their grounds for the use OF
the people would accomplish good results
The work would be watched by every man
and boy in the neighborhood, and every
step in its progress would be noted, COM
mented and impressed upon the country
folk for miles around. There could be no
better way devised to educate the people.
Making Good Headway.
Work on the new plant of the Mononga-
hels Iron and Steel Company at Hays sta
ton a few miles from the city, on the line
of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
Railroad, is being pushed rapidly. Unless
something prevents the plant will be ready
for operation not later than November l.
Changing Their Tune.
There are fewer croakers than q month
ago. They were a long time seeing that
Pittsburg was strong on its pins, but came
around at last. There is not the least reason
in the world for holding pessimistic views.
A tour of the manufacturing districts would
convince the worst croaker that he doesn't
e-1anv hot tie i'm, Tha "a 0cif
ton shows activity in manufacturing cir
cles, or there would be no smoke to complain
of. The enlargement of local railroad facili-
ties for handling freightand passengers, and
the strengthening of their resources by
some Of the local corporations show not
only the existence of a heavy volume of
trade, but are Indicative of expectations Of
continued prosperity. Pittsburg is well off.
There is no wide-reaching trouble.
Financial Fish Stories.
A New York banker says: "In Wall street
the idea of further gold exports being made
from this country at this time of the year Is
scoffed at, and such a surprising happening
as gold exports at this late day has not even
been dreamed Of On the contrary 1t is gen.
orally believed in financial circles that gold
imports are about to begin on an important
scale, and that the 8, 800 900 gold now on its
way here has been supplemented by further
engagements gold on the continent for
shipment here
Business News and Gossip.
Pittsburg has set out on the fall cruise,
and conditions are fast shaping themselves
for an active campaign.
It is next to criminal to go out Of the way
to depreciate a great local interest. It Is q
case of cutting of the nose to spite the face.
The success in placing the preferred stock
of the United States Glass Company is an
other straw showing plenty Of money for in
vestment.
