Cream for chapped face and hands
A FIRE at Fairmont last SATURDAY

A CAREFUL estimate of the cost O
"a system of sewerage has been print
led in circular form and distributed
to every one in town who cares to be-
informed. The question is very
grave one and much depends on
whether it is adopted or rejected.
THE contracts for building The
Odd Fellows and the Second Ma
tional Bank buildings have not beer
let, but they will be in due time
These buildings are certainties
They will represent an outlay o.
about 100000, and these, with the
many new private dwellings that are
to be built this year, will make
building operations very brisk and
give work to large forces of hands
SOME people say that Superintend-
ent Patton said that Vice President
King said that some time along
about the middle of this month some
sort of service would go into opera
ton on the railroad extension. $50
mote it be" goes up from hosts .oi
hopeful hearts, but whether there is
anything in all this say so is another
thing. The New DOMINION inclines
to the adverse opinion. Regular ser
vice will not begin till May.
HAY is down to $12. The open
winter helped to lower the price.
1t is a good thing that the price is
cheap again, but it is bad thing
that Monongalia farmer should
ever have to buy hay "Out West"
where everybody points as the al
most promised land, they make crops
by hard work. The same amount of
work to the same acreage in the
rich soil of this county would profit
at least equally, ifnot close to double,
that of the West. Facts, these are.
WILL KEENER on Saturday broup' n,
car load of cattle from Cinci matt
They were as fine stockers "a hav,
ever been brought her., and are I'll,
first to come from tat market. The,
are kentucky ara Southern Indians
steers. Thee was another poin
ABOUT tr-,s car load that others whc
ID" = now want to Craze cattle viii
ne glad to hear, namely, the price
for them was no higher last week
than it was last fall, so the cost o
wintering is saved to the farmer
who wishes now to stock with cattle
from the Cincinnati market.
IT is said that Bumbo Lane is t.
blossom forth into a populous thor
'oughfare as well as a regular street
in width this coming season r. Z
Fast, George Kiger, j. w. Wiles, M
4. Sisler and others are going t.
build houses along Bumbo on tn,
respective lots they own situat,
thereon, and with the widening tina
is contemplated and the garnitur,
of beautiful dwellings it will be 6
pretty and much used street. Tht
ones whose names are mentioned
above have given positive informa
that they will build.
The oil excitement keeps up il
Cass and Clay and even up so far a
Battelle. The same old scenes o
some years ago when the prepare
tons for opening the Dolls run feel,
were in progress are now being enac
ted in the territory which comprise
a broadening of that same field
This broadening work has begun an,
more of it goes into operation ever,
day. The development of the Mon
ongalia fields just had bcginnin,
when the Dolls run field was full,
punctured. Now comes along thi
subsequent work in the same, bu
broader, belt that will excel the orig
inal in quantity of rigs and oil pro
duced.
Court has adjourned and Johr
Dean will stay in Jail till June to b.
tried on the charge of felony No
body would go Johns bail, ant
so he stays. John swore lie. /
was lie sworn to in a felony cas-
and his ofeuse, therefore, is felony
John is not the only person who com
mits perjury on the witness stand
People commit perjury without TIL
least eompunction and heretofor
have not appeared to deny the falsi
ty of evidence given on oath in dis
cussing the matter afterward. Prob
ably the fate of John Dean will re
suit in a letup on this wholesal
false swearing business. 1t .woult
appear that to some people to swea
lie is easy enough, but the grea
consideration should be made to ap
pear to witnesses, is it easy to ge
out of? Every suchperson shoul'
be prosecuted.

acre. The Gufeys took options a
that figure. Before that the pric
for coal under land was any plac
from $40 to 500 an acre. Suddenl
came this price, double what ha,
been paid before The owners ha
not banded together to raise th
price Men simply came along VIII
would give the increased figure. TIL
coal land was worth that and more
The fact now is that below the lin
in Pennsylvania no coal land is OF
toned for the small figure given a
soon as buyers come into this state
The options are being taken be
cause it is reasonably certain tina
the Brownsville road will be extend
ed to West Morgantown the comm
year. Indications point that way
But cheap options are not going t
build the road or bring the road an
sooner. 1t will come one way or th
other. Therefore, if coal land
