of an abundant crop. 1t is to be
hoped nothing may yet prevent the
of the promise.
The furniture man ufaeturing firm
of Price Bros. have just finished a
new complete set of furniture for
Adam Bow er's barber shop. 1t is
the finest tonsorial outfit ever seen
here. 1t has not yet been placed in
the shop.
The Monongahela River r. r. has

to have some pretty speed exhibit
tions here the coming season, and
are now working with that end in

EGGS are Is cents dozen and but
ter Is cents pound at Wheeling,
cheaper than either of those necessa-
ry culinary articles can be obtained
here. The prices at Pittsburg are
the same as at Wheeling. This is a
complete reversal of the order of
such things, never before was it
known that egg and butter prices
here were in advance of Pittsburg
and Wheeling prices. Can this be
explained?
1t is said that the present postal
note will soon be succeeded by the
postal scrip. The postal note costs
three cents and is good for amounts
up to So; the new method costs one
cent and can be used for any amount
up to $50. 1t is so arranged that a
check for the sum desired may be
torn off and sent by mail. The post
master does no writing but the send
er endorses the same as a check. Its
safe transportation is guaranteed by
the government.
THE Second National has received
an estimate from a Pittsburg firm of
the cost of moving the Laura Pick
enpaugh brick house over to the
Kiger line, placing it at $3.50. 1t is
more than likely this firm will be
engaged to move the house. If it
does, that will be the first brick
house ever moved in Morgantown,
though it is safe to say
it will not be the last. There
are other brick houses here to move
if the work may be done cheap.
SHERIFF HARE and his deputies
have been taking time by the fore
lock. They are not waiting till near
court time to serve summons on the
people to appear before the grand
jury, thus giving many of them OPP
portunities to fill engagements else
where on important business" but
for over week past have been de-
livering the little documents, thus
anticipating any intention of fight.

to testify before the grand jury is
said to be unusually large this year

THERE are people here who say
that one of the richest musical treats
which was ever put before them was
the singing of the Schumann Lady
Quartet, and there is no doubt but
that the house will be crowded on
the evening of Thursday of next
week, when they will again be with
US. The members of this organiza
ton have sung together so long that
there is the most perfectly harmon
ious blending of their voices. The fact
that they took the first honors as a
quartet of female voices at the
Worlds Fair is as high a recommen,
dation as could be desired.
The prices of lots in the String
town section of our suburbs have
taken a decided jump since thai
board walk to the pump station was
built. That has proved grand
improvement. Now if the road were
widened and well finished with tn,
substantial assistance Of macadam
there could little more be desired tt
make the locality one of great at
traction for places of abode. Thos,
residents mp there who cater to tn,
aesthetic also want to have the nam,
changed from Stringtown to Stand
ard Way, in honor of the company
which located the pump station ny
there.
