THE merry pike is being fished
for, but not caught. Perry Walton
says that if the fine weather contin-
ues glut will soon be out and he will
catch several wagon loads. Fishing
fancies are reviving all along the
line-and pole.
THERE is money ahead for the
town now, the first front funds"
visible for long time. BY the 70
cents levy there is now in the hands
of the Sergeant about $4,000 uncol-
lected taxes that will be secured
without difficulty. The town treas
ury is usually an empty bag, but now
it is comfortably filled.
LENT or no Lent, the girls and
boys would have dance. 1t is still
quite a long and weary wait for the
military ball to dispel the general
social apathy, so Friday evening,
though it was slightly informal, the
young people INDUCED to their con-
tent of heart their dancing penchant.
1t was royal good time.
ORDERS for Easter flowers must be
sent to King d Jenkins, Grafton, on
or before Monday, the 18th. The
demand will be enormous and first
come first served. Orders will be
booked as received. When YOU order
flowers from this firm you get Just
what you order and generally more
than the worth of your money.
THE foundation is completed and
the brick work is being done on
George Kiger's new building be
tween his fathers residence and the
Pickenpaugh house on Main street.
Those two buildings will be the side
walls for the new structure. 1t will
be two stories. The Western Union
telegraph office will be on the first
floor.
AN ICE plant would save some of
the price we shall otherwise have to
pay for ice shipped in here from
olsta~ce next summer. An ice plant
Would bring other than home money;
I there is a splendid ice using terrific
ry below us that would patronize a
factory here. An ice plant is an en-
terprise opportunity, which, if grasp
ed, would result in big earnings.
THE Waynesburg Independent is
informed that the coal men are get
ting on hustle after coal land along
the Monongahela river, and land
owners are being besieged 10y persons
wanting to option their lands. Last
year quite a number of farmers sold
their coal at very handsome figures.
The encouraging movements on the
p, V. & c. r. R. is causing the pres
ent activity.
NEXT Saturday is election day.
at is what may be termed health
election said q business man who
lives on Spruce street and who was
terribly bereaved by the recent ty
phoid epidemic. Continuing he said:
81 have always been opposed to the
sewerage propositions Twice l have
voted against them. | realize that
all who did the same thing made a
great mistake. | have completely re-
versed my position on the sewerage
question"
Corn will be a crop in this county
this year if Providence favors the
calculations of the farmers. Prepa-
rations for an extraordinarily large
acreage to be planted will be made
this spring. The unhealthy sign of
hundreds of car loads of grain being
shipped in here from the west will
not be so marked in years to come
as it has been in the past few. This
county has actually failed to raise
enough grain for home consumption
Good times to farmers don't jibe
with that condition of affairs.
NOTIFICATION of change in the
form of postoffice money orders has
Just been sent out by the postoffice
Department This introduces into
the order the name of the payee and
makes the order negotiable like
bank check. The new form will be
sent out to all postotlices as rapidly
as the old ones which they now have
are used. A bill has been introduced
in Congress to abolish the postal
note and fixing the fee for money or
ders for less than $3.50, at 3 cents,
which is the rate charged by express
companies.
MEssRs. A. w. LoRENTz and l. c.
White and DR.. Brock, the committee
appointed by the Directors of the
Monongahela Valley bank to receive
bids for moving the bank building,
have received two bids which they
consider entirely too expensive. An
other bid is yet to be received, and
if its terms re'not more reasonable
than the ones already received the
project of having the building moved
will be abandoned, in fact, they seem
to think that it is substantially
abandoned already, and if the bid
to come is considered unreasonable
extensive repairs will be made to the
building.
SuPT. PATTON made the statement
to Mai McGrew that the number of
people who are clamoring for the ex-
tension to be opened is unusual, and
that it is the intention to give their
requests all the consideration posi-
BILE. He further said that the road
would be opened as soon as possible
but that it is not possible to do so
until the work of filing up sink
holes which the steam shovel is now
doing is finished. The estimate is
that this work will take about two
months yet. The ballasting, of course
is completed, but these sink holes
are bad in several places between
Vanvoorhis and Yeager. They are
going to be substantially, pefna-
