old time pleasure and yigor.
TURN ont, Saturday week, all good
people who want to hear the Vice
Presid ent speak at Fairmont. The
rates from Morgantown will be low.
WORK on the new Baptist church
has begun in real earnest. The CON
tractors have a good force of hands
on the work and are making this
good weather count to their inter
est.
Hon. CHARLES Z. Brown, who is
the nominee Of the Democratic party
for county clerk Of Hamilton county,
Ohio, of which Cincinnati is the
county seat, is a brother Of Mrs.
John A. Ollie and Mrs. Joseph More
land, of this place.
The sand bank owned by Brad
dock Hall, at Ellington, is proving
profitable. 1t is located on top of
the Hill back of the station, and a
chute has been built from it to the
railroad. Several car loads of the
sand are shipped every week.
Putty, glass, lime, paint and iron
are not made here, but aside from
these everything entering into the
construction Of the majority of the
many buildings now in course of
erection in Morgantown is manu-
featured at home. There is bust
ness in that and decided change
from the way it used to be.
The johnson well, near Blacks
vile, has been abandoned owing to
a break in the casing and cave-in of
sand. This is the fourth well that
has been attempted on that farm
and all with similar bad luck. The
territory was first owned by w. l..
Mellon but has since been bought
by Carnegie & Co Another well
will be started a short distance from
the one last abandoned Bad casing
was the fault of the last trouble
Wayne8burg Republicans
MARION county will have two
bond elections this fall. One will
be whether bonds shall be issued to
build a new court house, and the
other is exclusively Fairmont's af-
fair, when the voters there will de-
eide as to bonding the town $4,000
worth to build sewerage system.
The former question may be doubt
full as to the outcome, but as to sew
erage, or almost any other improve
ment, Fairmont has of late demon
strated that she takes most all the
good things going.
THIS is tax collecting time. We
have high taxes in Monongalia, but
not as high as Preston, which has
the highest tax rate of any county
in the state, least improvement of
any and the biggest Republican ma
jority of any However, the good
people around here who believe that
the only way to make people rich
is to tax them, which is the one and
only principle of the Republican
party, brag about it when telling
that "we have next to the highest
tax rate in the county, anyhow"
OVER the arch entrance to the
theater adjunct of the Odd Fellows
building there has been laid beau
tiful stone tablet with "Music Hail.
which is the name adopted for the
theater, cut on its face. Music Hall
it is and will be- 1t is as pretty
name as it is appropriate, distin-
gushing and easy to say. Blessed
be the resolution which relieved Mu-
sic Hall from being called an opera
house, term that is applied to sew
eral thousand places of amusement
thereby incorrectly named.
The Anti Cigarette League of the
public school boys of New York has
been adopted by the boys and girls
of fifth grade, Davis Free School of
Piedmont. The boys pledge calls
for the disuse of cigarettes until
they are twenty one years of age,
and the girls pledge requires in ad
dition, that they speak to any boy
or young man who in their presence
may be smoking cigarettes, of the
injurious effects of cigarette smok-
ing. At present, fifteen boys and
twenty-five girls have joined the
League. Start one here, boys.
VICTOR MrLLs accounts are all
due in thirty days, or payable in
cash. By srtict compliance with
these terms only can we sell at the
low rates offered. Some of our Gus
toners have allowed their accounts
TO run till long past due. Unless
settled at once by negotiable notes
that we can use in our business. or
by cash, we shall place the same in
suit. We buy for cash only, and
with the constantly increasing
amount of sales and business, must
make prompt collections. We still
keep on hands hay, flour, feed, meal,
chop and grain, ell of the best quail
ity and sell at lowest prices consis-
tent with fair living Call and
buy and settle that "little bill. -
IT will be but a short time until
the work of erecting the poles, string
ing the wire and wiring the houses
will begin for the telephone exchange
which is to be established here. Mr..
Tappan has been here for several
days making preparations for the
construction to commence. To start
with he got the number of subscrib-
ers required, 25, and he has been as
sured that this nun Der will be doub-
led, as soon as the exchange is in
operation, by persons who did not
now make positive contracts. The
majority subscribed for were long
distance phones which, aside from
the local exchange, will be connect
ed with Clarksburg, Grafton and
Fairmont. 1t is thought that the
exchange will be in operation within
two months.
Tom REED will not be in Morgan
town this year. The Republicans
may say he will be, publish that he
will be in their organs, print posters
that he will be, write to their friends
that he will be, but he won't be here
and just stick a pin here will you.
Some papers around go off half.cock
ed with balderdash announcements,
but the people are not fools, if the
papers are. What made these peo-
pie who are self appointed Republi-
can leaders ever get the silly notion
