MAIDsvILLE has had several rob
berries in recent years. If the right
parties are caught for the burglary
of last week at that place there is
little doubt that the ones guilty of
all will pay the penalty of their
crimes.
THERE were over $50 indictments
found at this session of the grand ju-
ry at Clarksburg against speakeasy
proprietors. The same thing hap
pens up there almost every court,
but there the matter ends, but the
speakeasies don't-they will proba-
bly, go on forever. Clarksburg plays
the part of temperance town with
temperance left out.

numerous, and are beginning at a
time, when calisthenic culture will
be more beneficial to them.
THERE will be no trouble about
beautiful picnic grounds on the rail
road extension. Pretty places for
that form of fun and feasting abound
all along the line. Hoard's Rocks
is an ideal place, nine miles below
town, with both woods and broad
fiat acres which are inviting as the
ideal picnic place. Beyond and
ON this side are other fine places.
| WE may be satisfied now that the
month of March will witness the
opening of the railroad extension.
1t has been practically settled that
the train run will be from Fairmont
to Connellsville, with probably one
through PIttsburg train each day.
Sundays not excepted. This will
give US Sunday mails here as soon
as the mail service is established on
the line, which may and may not be
as soon as it is opened for travel.
Two star mail routes will then be
discontinued, the one from Fair
chance and the one from Point Mar

not be difficult, as it would be re
quired only to widen the thorough
fare some five to eight feet. There
would be but one building to remove
on the route. The plan is to take
the additional width required from
the south side of the alley.
A DRUMMER who has been visit
ing Morgantown for a number of
years said to the New DOMINION yes
terday among many other things
You have a nice set of business
men to deal with. There is no place
in my territory that l would rather
do business than here. The mer-
chants are all straight forward man
ly men. l only care to mention in
confidence one man | think little
rarer, fairer and squarer than the
men l sell to in other towns and
that is David Chadwick. He is as
nice man as l ever saw; it is always
a pleasure to do business with him"
, The New DOMINION promised not to
, give the drummer's name nor tell
, what he said and it won't.
