SOUTH MoRGANTowN is getting
right sin the push" and those who
have money to invest will do well to
put it in South Morgantown prop
erty.
Mr. JEFFERSON TENANT, we learn,
will come to Morgantown about Sep
tember lst and will occupy the prop
erty purchased some time ago from
Mrs. Pierce We will be glad to
welcome Mr.. Tenant and his excel
lent family to our midst
L. r. EVANS is having large
building erected in South Morgan
town in which he will open a general
feed and grain store. Mr.. Evans is
one of the most progressive business
men that we have and we hope that
several others of our capitalists will
follow his example of putting their
money in buildings and other enter
prises.
In order to make some needed re-
pars on the main the gas was allow
ed to escape Monday from the regu-
lator in West Morgantown and the
people in that vicinity were compell-
ed to use speaking trumpets All
day long the roar in town resembled
that produced by an approaching
cyclone and continued throughout
the night.
On Thursday morning last l. S.
Reed had severe hemorrhage of the
nose and stomach which came very
near causing his death. The hemor-
rhage was not stopped until after
he had lost over a gallon of
blood and for sometime his life was
despaired of but, we are glad to state
that he is now better and though
not altogether out of danger, will,
his physicians think, recover. Drs.
Brock and Wade are attending him.
A GENTLEMAN who was driving
beautiful horse yesterday stopped in
front of one our leading stores and
the merchant said to him, "I'll make
belt that will go around your horse
out Of five dollar bills and give it to
you for him" The owner after study
ing awhile said if he made it $40
bills the animal was his, but when
the merchant took him up on his
own proposition and measured the
horse it was found that $120 worth
of the greenbacks would make the
belt there was some lively squalling
that almost drowned the roar of the
escaping gas from the regulator in
West Morgantown.
IT HAS been said and wisely too
that "he who makes two blades
of grass grow where but one
grew before is a public benefac-
tor This saying can well be APP
piled to Walter Mestrezat as he is
now charging his hatchery and
where but dozen chicks came
forth after much labor on the part of
an old shanghai hen his incubators
bring forth one hundred every
four days When the repairs now
under way are completed his brooder
will contain Is rooms. Mr.. Mestre-
Eat will ship to New York 100 ten
weeks old chickens every four days.
1t is his intention at no distant
day to engage exclusively in the rails
ing of chickens.
The night force in the train dis
patcher's office at this place are in
debted to Mr.. Fred. G. Dudley, the
genial copying operator of the office,
for an excellent treat of delicious
chocolate cake and cherries, on last
Saturday night. The cake and bas-
ket of cherries were sent Mr.. Dudley
by his Morgantown cousin 1t is
said to have been worth considerable
to see Capt. Martin, Will Woodward,
Luther McGill and Pat Fleming eat
ing cake and cherries, and the boys
were unanimous in pronouncing it |
5he best cake they ever ate, but a
little skeptical as to whether it was
Mr. Dudley's cousin" or sweetheart |
that baked the cake. Capt. Martin,
who is recognized authority on
such eatables, pronounced it slov-
IRIS cake" However that may be,
,he boys have no hesitancy in rec
the Morgantown young
ady as first-class baker, and beg
