MANY OF the old folks had to go
to the show yesterday to take the
children there we're no animals.
JUDGE BERKSHIRE complains that
when he went fishing some depre-
dators undermined him and he is in
danger of falling out of town.
WHEN will they knock of some Of

pure air into the Decker's creek
bridge? 1t is a public nuisance
Mr.. TENANT, who purchased the
property on Spruce street from Mrs.
Pierce, will move in from the coun-

sidewalk on Front street is being
used to widen the lower end of that
street on the creek bank, which is a
good improvement.

crop was carried away by the circus

WE rise again to remark that it is
just as cheap, if not cheaper, to fin
ish side walk, and clean up the de-
bris, at one job, as it is to have the
whole town Uttered up with unfin-
ished jobs.
PRoTzMAN's Gallery will be closed

SOME person who hasn't any house
of his own to protect against fire and
isn't likely to have, pushed the hook
and ladder wagon belonging to the
town over a steep bank at the east
end of Walnut street.
WE don't hear any special stir
about getting electric light service
from the Pumping Station. Itseems
to be our custom not to appreciate a
good thing till we get it, But the
way TO get it is to appreciate it in
prospect.
IF the Base Ballers will include the
grading of nice driving track on
the South Morgantown lot, they can
get good, liberal subscription to
fence it in with ten foot fence. And
when that is done the ground will
bring yearly income equal to ten
or fifteen per cent. on the invest
ment.
WE are waiting patiently for the
opening of Riverton Avenue. When
that is done, the land owners on the
opposite side of the river will proba-
bly, see an opportunity long neglect
ed and in short time we will see
both sides of the river lined with a
thrifty population and smoking in
dustries.
