Fairmont Inde1.
Fountain Tenant and c. L. Shu
man, two of the prominent young
business men from McCurdysville,
were in this place last Monday.
These gentlemen were disposed to
make light of our court house and
thought that if this county had let
Monongalia know that it was not
able to build suitable one, the
mother county would have given us
the one she tore down. Those Mon
ongalians are very proud of their
new Temple of Justice.-Fairmont

it will, from the second week in
April, be the home of the Aldrich
family.

to talk nothing else but West Va.
