IT may be a good thing for the il
legal voter to assist in the Republi-
can accumulation Of Prestonian ma
jority in Monongalia, but now that

CHEF ENGINEER JANEwAY, of the
Cheat River railroad, says that there
is little doubt that the road will be
built from Point Marion up the
Cheat some 20 miles, and adds that
this road will have the same effect
upon Point Marion that the Black
Bottle would on Morgantown. Nc
body who has studied the condition
will say that the Black Bottle will
never be built That is the enter
prise that will do more to make Nor
gantown great than anything else.
The new colored school is nearly
completed. Within the next month
it will be ready to be initiated as he
only permanent institution Of Is h.

they are Is and likely to be Is cents
before the end Of the week. BY Dec
they are certain to be a quarter
Do you see how this idea of widel
markets affects the thing? In thu
good old days when the Pittsburg
market were an impossibility fol
Monongalia dealers eggs had to be
mighty scarce to bring a quarter
