If Morgantown had a system oil
sewerage and paved streets little
more would be needed to fill her cup
of happiness.
AND now the gateway to the South

its opening comes Morgantown's
farewell to the b. & O's old main
line.

REPORTS from the southern part
of the state indicate that the United
States authorities are having mu CHI
trouble in removing squatters from
lands in Wyoming county owned by
eastern syndieates Deputy Marshal
Vest was fatally shot after heated
discussion over the eviction of squat
ters The trouble is probably not
at an end.
THE latest swindle being worked
on the farmers is this: A smart,
business like fellow learns who is
contemplating using paint and rep
resents himself as an agent for an
eastern paint factory and agrees
to send ten gallons of paint to be
paid for in four years and the farmer
signs the order and-pays the note
when it comes due.
WILLIAMSON BROTHERS will be the
style of the firm which will do the
first merchandising business at Van
voorhis. Williamson brothers are
two young men of Taylor county, of
good business qualifications, and ex-
perence in the mercantile line. They

his to have a storeroom built and
they are to have possession of it soon
They are welcomed heartily to the
county and to Vanvoorhis
The price of ice at Wheeling has
gone up to 81 a ton. The general
scarcity of the article makes the
price go skyward. The price will be
high every place. In view of this
fact Fairmont people have taken
steps to build and operate an ice
factory. The people here will do the
same thing or pay big prices for ice.
The demand for ice in nearby towns
would take all the product of such
factory, and would make it pay for
itself the same year.
The stogie manufacturers in this
State have made such a vigorous
kick against the increase of the rev
enue tax on cigars, from $500 to IS,
as proposed by the Senate Commit
tee, that it is thought that the tax
of $500. as proposed by the Wilson
bill, will be retained by the Senate
Committee on the low priced cigars.
This increase would virtually drive
the stogie maker out of business.
The great demand for them is chief
~ because of their cheapness, and
to increase the tax toss 90 thousand
would put the stogie in competition
with a better grade Of cigar.

the order from council came that

not been reached on plans for the
bank building on the corner The
five feet have been laid off to be
made an addition to the alley, and

street.
MORE mechanics will be needed at
Morgantown this year. Contracts
already given will require more
workers at the building trade than
are here now, and almost every day
there are more new buildings in
prospect. There will be great addi-
tions made TO the population of
Morgantown this year, fer there is
not one Of the prospective houses
that will not be occupied by either
