A LARGE audience greeted the per-

A number Of ladies and gentlemen

by taking part in the affair and a
handsome sum was realized which
will go toward buying new horns.

enjoyed by those present.
This week Governor A. B. Elem
ing sold to Mr.. James L. Erwin, u.
5. Deputy Marshal, the old home
stead, situated about two miles west
of town. This farm has been in the
family of Governor Fleming for
about one hundred years. 1t con
tains $50 acres, and is beyond doubt
the best kept and most fertile piece
of land in the county. For years it
has been the pet of the Governor, and
be has taken pride in having it kept
in excellent condition. We have not
heard the price paid. Mr.. Erwin is
to be congratulated upon his selec-
ton. We are glad to know that he
is to be citizen of this end of the
county.-Fairmont Inder.
STEPHEN QUINNoN, city editor of
the Pittsburg Times, was in town
Wednesday and Thursday looking
after the interests of his paper. He
spoke in glowing terms of the in
dustrial prosperity of the Upper
Monongahela Valley which is sure to
follow the recent completion of theF,
M. Il P. r. R. through to the north.
Mr.. Quinnon expressed great sur
prise when told that South Morgan
town is an independent corpora
ton, and that the borough limits of
Morgantown did not extend beyond
the University, and said, that it is
greatly to the disadvantage of our
people as the town is fully three
times as large as strangers believe
it to be from the census report
There is food for thought in this for
our progressive citizens.
AFTER long and weary waiting the
Fire Department has secured a new
hand Hook and Ladder truck with
Babcock fire extinguishers attached.
There are several Seagrave truss ex.
tension ladders and the fire laddies
will at once commence to practise
throwing the ladders to the top OF
high buildings and getting up them
in the shortest time possible. In
addition to the above they received
300 feet of new hose, making 1,70(
in all. The old hose has been il
use for 5 years and has been so well
cared for that it is all in good condi.
tion. The fact that the Clark sburp
Fire Department destroyed 81 ,00C
worth OF hose within a wear, shows
that our boys are careful to give the
best of attention to the care of the
apparatus of the department Nor
gantown never made a better Invest
ment than when she equipped tho
Fire Department, not single build
ing has burned down and it is tho
one improvement that not a man has
kicked against, There is not now o
better equipped fire department il
the state, and we are justly proud o
