Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
At the meeting of the board of
directors of the chamber of com
merce yesterday afternoon, number
of communications of more than US

the chamber of commerce on March
26, upon the interests and resources
of West Virginia Messrs. Jackson,
Foster, Ricketsop, Roberts and 9TH

an occasion and urged that the pub
lie be generally invited to be present
at that meeting. A resolution was
adopted to that effect. Then Col.
Roberts stated that as the last link
in the new branch of the Baltimore
Il Ohio railroad, between Uniontown
and Morgantown has been completed
that the coming of Gov. Fleming to
Pittsburg should be given addition
al interest by the opening Of the new
road upon that day. A resolution
was adopted directing the executive
committee to confer with the Balti-
more & Ohio officials and have the
road open upon that occasion The
same committee was also authorized
to meet the governor en- ronte and
entertain him upon his arri val in
the city.

Memorial TO GracIe Sanders.

Resolutions of respect adopted on the
death OF Oracle Sanders by her teacher
and schoolmates OF Eakin school.
WHEREAS, The death angel visited the
happy home of J. W. Sanders, Thursday
evening March LIST, 1894, and claimed
for his own, Oracle, the youngest dangh-
ter, a bright and lovely child OF 10 years.
Resolved, That with sorrow we mourn
the loss OF a pupil one who had endear-
ed herself to us by her sweet and atfee
tionate ways. She would often remind
us OF the tender vine, reaching out,
clasping and embracing those who were
older and stronger "Noue knew her
but to love her." Although we sadly
miss her, we look through the eye Of
faith to the sweet by and by
Resolved, That we mourn the loss of
a ssehoolmate; one who was always
pleasant and kind, ever ready to assist
her little classmates in preparing their
lessons.
Resoipcd, That we extend our deepest
sympathies TO the sorrowing family and
friends in this, their hour OF grief. While
the dark cloud is lowering over their
home, may they look beyond to the
Great Comforter who has promised new
er to leave nor forsake.

tons be sent to each of the county pa

Don't Practice what They Preach.
Uniontown Genius.

Uniontown Genius.
Some farmers, who have been at.
tending the institutes held in the in
terest of their business, say that
some of the lecturers who address
them, don't practice what they
preach; that said lecturers farms
are not kept as becomes the thrifty
husbandmap. That's a trick many
lecturers have. It's so much easier
to tell people how to do thing than
to do it yourself. A lecturer to farm
ers should not only know the best
time to cut elders and briars, but he
should cut them and not permit
them to cumber his own farm. The
man who keeps his own farm neat,
clean and productive, delivers more
eloquent and useful lecture TO his
neighbors and is of much more value
to the country, than the man who
talks wise words in institutes and
whose principal crops on his own
farm are briars and penny royal.

4 BRILLIANT PROSPECT.


The first annual meeting of any
association of men, one Of the OBJ
jects of which being the material
welfare of the town in which il has
its life, is always fraught with unus-
ual interest. The first annual meet
ing oftentimes presages the makingor
breaking of the promoters. The first
annual meeting Of the stockholders
develops, or makes public, the stu
lures hue" The particular first
annual meeting specially to be men
toned is that Of the Morgantown
Building 1t Investment Company. 1t
was held last Thursday. 1t develop
ed and made public that the pros
poets for the future are brilliant; the
futures hue" is known to be roseate.
There was a fairly large represen.
tation of the stockholders at this
first annual meeting, and they were
there for two objective reasons: |. To
know what the general manager
would have to report ard how this
report would affect the subsequent
operations; ?. To take part in the
selection Of Board of Directors TO
serve for the coming year.
The General Manager, r. Z. Fast.
made bis report. 1t was satisfactory
and so received. 1t was brief
in point of words, but these few words
had vast significance He stated that
the company's assets were over and
above liabilities, not including any
OF the real estate now owned by the
company That is to say. the bills
receivable will more than meet bills
payable. The lot sale Of last June
has paid off all debts and expenses.
such as street making and all that.
and the company has two thirds of
its lots remaining 1850 are the ac-
tual number of lots left and they
also have the Farrow building. the
Bricker, Mather and Shanks proper
ties, and the block of brick buildings
on Peasants street which, by the
way, the general manager calls the
Fulton Block, in honor of their de-
signer. That is fine report and
was so considered. The company,
yet in its infancy, is far and away
ahead of the game with the definite
prospect of every sale to be made
clear profit. 1t is doubtful if any
development company in the Two
Nirginians can make better proper
tionate showing Seriously eonsid
cred, this showing is really more
than would appear to the hasty
reader.
The election Of Board passed off
without especial incident. The Di-
rectors for the coming year will be:
f. Shisler,
George B. Morris,
Z. NJ. Turner,
George c. Sturgiss,
4. M. Grant,
r. L. Fast,
j. Nj. Wood,
c. A. Hayes,
This is the same Board as last
year with the exception of Wood and
Hayes, who were chosen to Gil the
places made vacant by the death of
b. M. Jones and the removal OF Dr.
Courtney to Philadelphia. The Di
rectors will select the officers for the
company at a meeting to be held as
they may decide.

Officials Visit yanyoorhis.

The county commissioners had a
jaunt by rail Thursday. They were
accorded the use of private car of
the gondola pattern and the con
struction engine took them down to
Vanvoorhis, on the railroad extern
sion. The object of the visit of the
official body was to locate main
road from the new depot there to the
road which connects with the estab-
lished Point Marion turnpike. This
was done. Vanvoorhis lacked this
one essential element to drawing
trade from the country round-an
improved way of reaching its mart.
There was a sort of road leading
to the river bottom from the main
road, bnt it has not the easy grade
and short route the new one will
have.
Another object of the visit of the
commissioners was to investigate
the obstruction, at the mouth of
Laurel run of the county road by the
railroad, and for which a grand jury
has adjudged the railroad as proba-
bly, guilty of misdemeanor The
distractions not already removed
will be and the railroad will foot the
bill.
Hon. Joseph Moreland, Maj. W. c.
McGrew, B. q 0. Engineer Stewart,
F. G Ross and New DOMINION rep
resentativc were on the same fiat
car with the commissioners and
viewed with qualification the indefi.
mite PROBABILITIES and tangible pos
sibilities of Vanvoorhis. This place
would be better located to many OF
our people by the explanation that
it is on the former Hewitt farm. The
city in embryo lays on the table up
rising from the narrow river bottom
There are rs acres of it and Mr..
Ross has made the plat of its streets
and alleys. boulevards and avenues

looks well.
An unbroken view of immediate
prospects for Vanvoorhis are its de.
pot, cattle pens, store house, ware
room and hotel. These are certain
ties. The others are hoped for. The
depot buildings practically complet
ed
1t will be the second stop from
here to Point Marion. Yeager il

Fruit Tree Pruning.

| am asked almost every day when
it is the proper time to trim fruit
trees. The only proper time to prune
trees of all kinds is during the
month of May when the sap is up,
and during the second flow of sap,
as the first flow is thick and Shiny.
But you must be guided somewhat
by the kind of tree as some varieties
are more forward in the spring than
Others. The only exception to this
rule is the grapevine which must be
pruned in February. Trim close to
the branch and smooth.

viii Reverse the Order of His Lecture.

Cheatom is laid up with fractur-
ed skull. Dick Cheatom is of that
nature of the colored population who
become well known to the white citi-
zens by Difference and the gift of CAB.
There is nothing especial about
Cheatom that recommends him other
than his perennial good nature and
harmless jibes. His conceit is some
thing wonderful, of course, and from
a dearth of literary knowledge he
poses as lecturer on some problems
of abstruse character sufficient for
the consideration of the most learned
men, so it is plain that those who go
to Cheatom's lectures go to hear the
sound of his voice merely, not to be
instructed nor edited. This is ex-
planned as an apology that Cheatom
should be mentioned at all. But we
all know Cheatom. Well, then:
Last week the sable hued travesty
on human nature who is the leading
subject of this sketch went to Mount
Morris to lecture on the theme "Mar-
rage is not Failure" 1t will be
remembered that but few weeks
ago Cheatom was married, and there
fore it is presumable that he knows
about it. During his absence from
town Mrs. Cheatom is said to have
run away with handsomer man.
And all the time Cheatom was busy
telling the people what a grand in
stitution marriage is. Poor Cheatom.
Opening the door of his house on
his return from Mount Morris he
was welcomed by the chill air of a
deserted home He was soon told
that Mrs. Cheatom had left with
Boardman Harris and could be found
in house down Beechurst. Down
Beechurst Cheatom went He found
his wife and Harris at the house and
they were seemingly satisfied and
contented. Cheatom explained that
he did not come after anything but
his trunk and its contents. He &C
cused Harris of carrying the trunk
away. Harris at once began to throw
stones. One of these bit Cheatom
in the head and another on the arm
The one which struck him on the
head caused a serious fracture Of thu
skull. 1t is said that at this juno
ture Cheatom wanted to shoot. But
he was brought home and is still
there. Boardman Harris left and il
still gone. A warrant is out for his
arrest. If it keeps him out of towr
it will do nobly, for he is bad coon
Mrs. Cheatom went that night to Sc,
her husband. He refused to let he
come in. She left. He is badly hurt
but he hopes to deliver bran new
lecture soon on Marriage is Fail

How About Telephonesl

Along With other OF the modern
conyeniences of life, Morgantown
should have telephone system, since
cheap telephones may soon be had
and operated because of the expira-
ton of the patents on telephones
which have been held by the Bell
company. These patents put tele-
phones beyond the reach of most OF
the small towns, on account of the
rate being so high for the instru-
ments, but soon it will be possible to
get up and operate an exchange with
out infringing upon any of them.
Then people could have instruments
in their houses and talk TO their
storekeepers and business people
generally or to one another or to
people in other towns up and down
the river. Business men could have
instruments in their dwellings and
stores, or factories, or offices or both.
Beechurst, Sunnyside, South Nor
gantown, West Morgantown, Stand
ard Way and all places around could
be in the general Morgantown ex-
change, and that would be connected
with the telephone lines now operat-
ed to other towns.
Many small towns are now prepar-
ing to have telephone exchanges
Among them may be mentioned
Fairmont. The expiration of the
Bell patents makes a telephone ex
change possible there, and the OPP
portunity is being improved thus
early. A party of gentlemen now
have plan on foot to connect all
the towns hereabouts and locate an
exchange in each one 1t is a scheme
to which it is safe TO say Morgantown
will take. Cheap telephones will
soon be in use all over the country
and we will join the procession if q
sufficient number will 90 in.
