Soon will come the beginning of
the extended season of bad roads,
not that it is necessary to have bad
roads, but that they get bad from
the simple inanition OF those who
travel over them.
ALTHOUGH last Saturday was an
Indictment day, quite a number of
people were in town, and we noticed
that those merchants who advertise
in the New DOMINION did the greater
part of the business that was done.
AMONG the items of work turned
cut by the New DOMINION Job Office
in the month of October was one
order for one hundred thousand
printed envelopes. In the one item
of envelopes for that month our office
sold LOT 800

A SPECIAL to the New York World
is copied in another column giving
aprettv little story of Master Frank
Protzman's correspondence with

a hustler when it comes to seeking
an office. We would be gratified to
learn of his appointment

No business man says he can't
afford to patronize the local paper.
He might as well say he can't afford
to do business. The newspaper is a
joint stock affair, and every man
who has any pride is his town and
his county will help hold up the
hands of the man who is trying to
ran i've local paper.

nent lawyer of Kingwood bar is pre-

laws Of West Virginia, work which

THE Monongahela has not been
the muddy river this season. The
water has been as clear as crystal
all summer, and below Point Marion
takes largely of the color of Cheat.
AT Pittsbarg it has been as clear as
the water of the Allegheny, which
it seldom is. The river has not
been on rise for months--a longer
period without much change in the
depth of the channel than has been

case, most likely.
Our readers may as well be adj
vised in advance to take no stock
in articles that will hereafter be adj
vertised as having taken first pre-
miums at the Worlds Fair. There
were no first premiums. If an entry
was up to the standard it was given
an award, and many of the same
kind of articles might therefore have
received medals. There are thou

an article got it, that was all.
The improvement to the Universe
ty grounds. in front of the main
buildings, by filling up the low places,
has been completed, and the change
is found to be good and great
one. That part of the grounds had
heretofore been very low, where in
wet weather the water would settle
and make walking across it impossi

is drained from it on all sides, max
ing it high and dry and as it should

more scientific principles. Now
towns have their foot ball teams all
