The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1893-11-11

i DAVID CHADWICK g goods and his
prices can't be excelled. Every one
knows this without being told.
JUDGE HAGANs has sold his farm
in Clinton district to Price Bros, OF
Ellington. The figures we learn
were $4,000.
| The fewer bears get the more bear
hunters we have In Cheat noun
tains there hasn't been a bear seen
since John Hall Courtney's wedding,
and that's why SO many of the boys
are making arrangements to hunt
the hugging quad.
A NEW brick store room is rising
from the ashes of the not very sub
stantial little structure in which Jo-
siah Robe kept store in South Nor
gantown, and which was recently
burned. 1t will be two stories, and
quite commodious otherwise.
The man who will break gum
drop in two pieces to make the exact
weight when selling candy to little
girl is mean enough to sell cross
eyedneedles to blind woman. Call
on Bricker, next door to the post
Office, and see if he is that kind of a
man.
The electric light company is a
worthy object of commentator. The
rule of having fixed time to start
up evenings has been abandoned,
and now when it begins to grow
gloomy early the light comes on
early, which is quite the proper way
it should be done.
THERE is loud complaint of the
crowds that congregate on Miller's
corner every night and annoy the
neighborhood. The popularity OF
this corner does not warrant the be-
hayior that is frequently noticed
there. Sergeant Bennett ought to
make note of this.
The hull inspector ordered the
! Germania on the Brownsville docks,
and she is now there. 1t is stated
that the Germania's DAYS of useful
ness are about over. She has piled
this river for 16 years. If she is not
to come out any more the company
will have to build new boat.
Rev. and Mrs. w. c. Davis, with
their little daughter, came up from
Brownsville last Thursday and are
visiting DR. and Mrs. E. H. Coon bs.
They recently removed to Browns
vile, where Mr.. Davis is pastor of
the M. E. Church, from Boston, Pa.
Mr. Davis returned to Brownsville on
Saturday.
A WOMAN bought a new tangled
coffeepot from peddler. In the
evening she showed it to her hus-
band, hardware dealer, who told
her he kept the same thing in his
store for half the price she paid.
WELL said she, "why don't you adj
vertise? Nobody ever knows what
you have for sale"
j. X. MILLER has put proposition
before the sportsmen of this locality
that no partridges be killed this
winter, 30 as to allow the coveys to
recuperate from the decrease occa-
stoned by the hard freezes and free
shooting of last season. The move
ment is one that if adopted would
make the birds much more plentiful
next year.
THERE is case of restitution q
few miles from town, to which the
attention of the societies of home
missions is now directed. A few
evenings ago the rude structure
which served Lige Brown and family
as home was burned to the ground.
The house was on the Kingwood
road. Brown is sickly and poverty
stricken besides. He is a worthy
object of charity. Who will help?
! The Knights of Honor lodge is
having quite boom just now.
Quite number of our people have
recently taken advantage of the plan
of insurance of that order. There
have been two deaths among the
members Of the local lodge this year.
The warrant for the amount of which
the first was insured arrived here
within 80 days after his death. For
the other one the warrant is now be-
ing looked for.
| THOSE capitalists who purchased
George Vance farm on the West
side are said to be favorable to the
project of throwing open a space
sufficiently wide for road through
the river bottom portion of the tract.
This would be over half the distance
now required for the road to Gran
vile that ought to be. The river
bottom road would not only be a
level highway and shorten the dis
lance, but it would also let travellers
avoid, what becomes the worst por-
ton of road during in all this sec
ton.
If THERE be those in this commun-
ity who see no beauty in the hardy
botanical specimen known as the
chrysanthemum they have failed to
see the floral display in the windows
of Thornt Kern's home, which is
made up entirely of these flowers.
There are many varieties of chrysan-
themum, and Mr.. Kern has the
rarest in that flora family. They
are larger than those usually seen,
of variegated colors, and arranged
in manner most attractive. The
display is well worth going far to
see.
| HE old academy building, which
for years past had been attired in a
color most somber and forbidding,
is now to be seen in a new winter
suit of light color, with all necessary
embellishing trimmings. She looks
quite clipper and gay in her new
costume, and it is found that she on
| ly looked ancient on account of the
old soiled dress she wore. There are
very few of us hereabout who have
not had the intimate acquaintance
of long association with and careful
guidance and initiatory scholastic
precepts of the academy, and it is
generally satisfactory and crafty
ing to see her look young again.
Nor long ago the council appro-
priated 5000 for the purpose of max
ing some street improvements near
the new parade ground of the cadet
corps. The order was to the effect
that the work was to begin at once.
But it didn't begin. Now council
thinks that 5000 is not enough to
make good beginning, and while
the appropriation order for the 5000
still stands, never having been re-
