APPLES and oranges cost about
the same here. That is something
very unusual in this latitude.

across the alley from the Chancery

craze it would be something else.
Good shots are getting numerous.
THE brass band of this place has
received a proposition to furnish
music at Mountain Lake Park the
coming season.
The stations on the new road from
here to Cheat river will be at Yea
gers, Vanvoorhis's and Point Marion.
These and only these.
HUNTS is the place to get the
squarest of square meals for % cents.
Anything you want, gastronomically
speaking, you can get there.
THE date of the expiration Of
Postmaster Davis commission comes
flying right along and the postoffice
fight grows exciting in its stiffness.
THE contract for excavating for
the foundation for t. F. Watson's
hotel at Fairmont has been given
out, and the work is to begin at
once.
GEORGE JOHN is about half way
in the notion of putting up tenn
porary building to be used for a
bowling alley on his recently pur-
chased Protzman lot.
W. F. SENNETT has purchased the
Walnut street meat market of j.

again ventures.
J. M. REED has purchased of J. G.

on Wiley street. 1t is the purchas-
er's intention to at some time build
dwelling there.
FAIRMoNT has orga nized gun
club. So has Unionto wn. There
should certainly be chances for the
Morgantown men of the gun to do
team work with either the up or

THIS town will take new life as
spring approaches. Don't complain

they present themselves.
THE residence of George p. linn

A RECENT letter received by Maj.
McGrew from Leesburg, Florida,
states that his father, who had both
legs broken in an accident there, is
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected and that there is still no
danger of fatal result. He is receiv-
ing the most skillfull attention.
A FEW carloads of the same Stag
and cinders that are used to ballast
the railroad extension, dumped and
spread on this towns worst streets,
would make them the best It is
material which many towns have
used to the permanent betterment
of their streets. 1t costs but the
transportation.
The Grafton Leader says it under
stands also that the B. & o. is going
to change it's present schedule in
March. If the Leader is right
about this, it may be pointer as to
when the extension will be opened
for business. Along about March
would strike it about right as the
time the ballasting and overhauling
the track will be completed.
The Warner well in the Mt. Morris
field came in good producer few
days ago. This we'll is far west of
the developed field. That being true
it indicates parallel belt, which
comes toward Monongalia. There
is an undercurrent of oil excitement
again and it may burst forth at any
time into the undisguised article,
but not until there is sufficient cause
for it. The marking of the new field
will continue.
The first of the Fortnightly Clubs
dances since the holidays took place
Monday evening, and the time in
tervening since the indulgence of the
mazes added even more than ordi-
nary zest to the enjoyment of the
occasion. AS usual the hop was
held in the municipal building. AL
most the full membership of the club
was present, with several of the la
dies who are visitors here.
THE drain of money from this
portion of the country to the West
for the past year to pay for grain
and hay will be felt for a long time.
No community can long prosper with
the balance of trade so heavily
against it. This was caused by the
crop failures, but in good seasons
some farmers say they can buy what
grain they need cheaper than they
can raise it. A little figuring would
convince them of their mistake.
ENGINEERS John Sampsel and Ell
mer Jacobs are running the street
lines in the B. Il l. company's ad-
dition. This company is assured
that the revival of business which
is being felt over the country will be
so far advanced by spring that con-
siderable business in sales of their
lots will be done. Considerable &C.
tivity in building is confidently ex-
pected, all over town, and good
share of it will be in the Beechurst
direction.
THERE is so much talk of coal and
coal options around and about us
of late that one is moved to reflect
that the value of these options is not
going to be realized in the undevel-
oped state, and as business men are
the ones who secure them, they
would care nothing to secure them
if they did not hope to realize on the
investments through a development
Then the development is certain &c
come. 1t can't be very far away, as
the activity seems to be on the in
crease, and it is healthy business
sign.
