BucKuASYoS, W. VA. April l.-spring
has opened in earnest. Gross and
flowers begin to show themselves and
the beautiful hills around thelittlo city
are putting or their robes Of green.
Along with tho spring Inns come the
building season and on ali sides Is
heard the carpenters hammer. There
are fully twenty houses now in process
OF erection, and during this year OF our
Lord $50? there will probably be 200
buildings erected. The most conservl.
two estimate l have heard puts tho
number at $50. This must be done, for
even now there Is Il great lack OF houses
10 rcnt. l think I would be sale in say.
ing that fifty good houses could DO
rented II they were built. People arc
coming and going every day prospect.
ing, and many would settle down at
once II there were dwellings for rent.
1t seems strange to INC that mon OF
means do not build enough dwelling
houses to accommodate tho great rush
that now Is and that must continue for
some timc to come until NIL are sup
piled.
Tho electric light plant is now fin.
ished, with q power for ut least 800
lights more than tho old ono could sup
ply. Tho plant is one Of the very finest,
while the machinery sccms to be rs
nearly perfection as can be. There are
two dynamos Tor ~incandescent lights
and ono for arclights, and last night tho
streets were as light rs day-Quito n
contrast to what they have been for tho
past two months.
Tho engine for tho new plant was
made and placed in position by the
Hart Bros, Of Clarksburg. 1t is Il beauty.
Among tho many other buildings
that arc being erected tho warcroom OF
the entcrprising young hardware mor-
chant is worthy OF special mention. 1t
is perfectly fire proof, rs it sides aro
iron and the roof tin. fIo is fast filling
it with everything in his line.
Major Hughes is building n planning
mill in tho maple grove near tho Nor
nal Academy building, in which no
will place tho most improved OF modern
machinery. It is his intention to do
his own work in this line for the many
buildings ho will build during the
season.
The illegal whisky sellers arc finding
it d hard road to travel out here. Just
now. Every day indictments are being
found. The best people OF the town
are aroused and there is n deep deter
mination to stop the thing at once.
Time will tell whether it will be done
or not. ,,

ference Seminary, gave an entertain
ment at the chapel. There was an OK
hibition OF the work Of the department,

Rotations by tho best local talent OF

her department a great success. She
