MAKING 4 TRAIN SCHEDULE.
The Railroad Extension to be Operated
as Soon as BaIlasting Is
(omplefqf.

The news has been received here
from a source that is in every way
reliable that Superintendent Patton,
Of the Pittsburg division oftae B. Il
o., of which the F., NJ. q p. will
soon be a part, is making out a
schedule of trains for this road. Mr.
Patton further announces that there
will be trains put on and the road
regularly operated as part of the
system as soon as the contractors
turn that portion between here and
Point Marion over to the company
From the above it may be depend
ed upon that it will net be necessary
to wait for the general change of
time table which is to take place in
May. just as soon as the ballasting
of the road is completed there will
be schedule made out ready to run
trains without any delay having
to be made for this purpose. That
is, the road is ready whenever the
contractors are. Heretofore the
public has been kept in ignorance of
the railroads intention as to its
opening, but now the only matter
upon which there may be any spec
ulation is in regard to when the bal
lasting will be completed. This
work proceeds slowly, but it is rea-
sonable to presume that it will be
completed about the LIST of March.
If it is not FINISHED by that time
accurate calculation may then be
made as to when it will be.
But the opening of the ro..,. u Dot
going to keep us waiting much lon
ger. 1t is not many weeks away.
There is possibility that the road
will not be Immediately accepted by
the company, but that is remote
possibility-one not likely to occur.

Who'll Take the Lead.

If the opening of the railroad ex-
tension has in view any bright prom
Uses of business and industrial activ-
ity in and around Morgantown, the
event is one we'll worthy of celebrat-
ing in manner just as elaborate as
would be commensurate with the
development anticipated. If the
opening of the extension holds none
of these promises then it would be
all right and proper that there be no
celebration.
But there is no question about the
matter. The first named of the
above two propositions is the correct
one, however, as no one will deny.
Through it will be caused the RAYS
of the bright star of greater proper
ity to be shed upon this section, and
living in the confidence that this
will be true we should surely bestir
ourselves to give a grand welcome
to this medium, making possible
brighter, better times hereab outs.
1t is not hard to find people who
agree that there should be q celebra
ton. Everybody says there should
be. What is lacking seems to be
somebody's shoulder to the wheel.
Somebody is needed who will push
the thing along. People wonder
why other people are not interested
in the celebration scheme. The way
to do is TO be interested yourself
Go out and call the people together
and make plans to do the thing up
beautifully brown. If somebody
will constitute himself the bell 1--we
ther, the remainder of the flock will
be at his heels.

The Schumann Lady Quartet.

Musical people here are delighted
to know that next week they will
have an opportunity of again hear
ing the Schumann Quartet. The sue
cess they scored here last year has
not been forgotten, nor is it likely to
be. People were both surprised and
pleased. This year they are giving
program even more pleasing than
last years. Those who heard the
quartet spoke so highly of it that
those who did not go regretted it,
and this will insure big house here.
A few evenings since the ladies were
at Carnegie Hall at Pittsburg and
the Gazette of that city says of them
the following:
"The ladies have been heard be-
fore in this city, and the artistic
character of their renditions delight
ed and satisfied. Last evening the
singers but deepened the good i'm
preston. The precision of movement
and rich blending of harmony, to-
gether with technical perfection and
sweetness of expression, dsservedly
won for them repeated recalls. With
Miss Shoemaker as reader, the fair
ones were host in the way of pro-
viding a program artistic and pleas
ing. Owing to repeated requests for
certain numbers rendered on pre-
vious occasions the program outlin
ed for the evening was materially
changed. A goodly audience greet.

cluded Mary D. Hall, FIRST soprano;

Liquor to the Highest Bidders.

The new court house, which is
constantly having new experiences,
will have still another one Feb. 3.
That day, old red liquor and beer
also, will be sold at the front door
of the temple, and whoever will may
buy. Special Constable Bennett
will dispense the drinkables. The
admixture of official duty and sell
ing liquor is queer one, but it will
be the gentleman's condition to do
both at one and the same time. No
license has been granted to allow IL
quor to be sold at the court house,
but the prosecuting attorney will
raise no objection. In fact, he is
rather aiding the matter. One diff
ference between this sale and the or
binary sale, where price is fixed, is
that this lot of family disturbance
will go to the highest bidder. 1t
may now be well enough to explain
that the liquor to be sold is that at
tached by warrant from Squire
Hayes when L. B. Frey, late proprie-
tor of the Commercial, stole silently
away from these shores.

Georgetown and Grant District.

GEORGETOWN, Jan. 22.-0ur teachers
institute came and is gone-not many
teachers present, and arrangements not
the best, as to light, music, or program.
The program was good enough if the
parties named had been on hand-it was
voted to hold another and a committee
of arrangements was appointed consist
ing of j. w. Kennedy, A. j. Arnett and
Miss Anna Larkin, to arrange as to time,
place and order OF business.
Some topics were discussed vigorously
and one effort was made to display a
knowledge of the new branches by dis
secting the Board of Education on ac-
count of the reduction of teachers wages.
The Board still lives.
s. j. Kennedy has the grip and was
not able to teach last week, but is better
at this writing.
d. M. Arnett and wife are both quite
sick.
Lee Arnett, OF Lincoln, Neb., arrived
at home on visit last week.
ID. B. Snider, of the Addition, was
down to see his mother and brothers
family, who are sick, Saturday.
County Superintendent Waters was in
this section last week looking after the
schools and attending the institute last
week.
We learn that S. A. Barker will go
from Arnettsville to the Mackey mills,
of Morgantown, March LIST.
There will also be other changes but
we will report them later.
We have two land sales to note: Sarah
J. Michael and J. N. Michael to L. Da-
Wis and ]. N. Hawkins, 80 acres adjoin-
ing j. s. Tough.

Ambitions Young Women.

Some of the members of the fac
ulty of the University are now giving
private lessons to several classes,
made up ofyoung ladies who take
this method of making up studies of
the preparatory department in which
it is necessary to pass examination
before complete University course
can be taken. The doors of the pre-
paratory department being closed
to ladies makes the adoption OF the
private lessons method necessary to
those who wish to take a full course.
1t shows that the women who desire
a collegiate education do not let the
co education prohibition to props
daunt them in their determination.
Then why not let the girls have the
advantages of the preparatory de
partment? Closing its doors to them
does not hinder their entrance to the
University, as some are supposed to
have thought it would. There are
other places besides Morgantown
where private lessons are being tax
by ambitious young women who by
this means may enter the University
course. That CO education is not a
condition allowed in the preparatory
department is the practice of an IN
fairness on the young women of West
Virginia which they are proceeding
to successfully surmount in their
own way.

BROUGHT ON A REQUIsITION.
Ross Williams, Who Shot Charley Ryan
over Cheat, Arrested.

An arrest was made on Saturday
which reflects great credit to the dill
igence of Prosecuting Attorney Ba-
ker. Ross Williams was brought in
on requisition from the Governor
of Pennsylvania. Sheriff Hare took
the prisoner from Sheriff Wilhelm,
whom he met at the state line and
brought him here, where he gave
bond for his appearance at court.
The crime Williams is alleged as
guilty of was committed over year
ago, and is that he shot with intent
to kill Charles N. Ryan, son of B
f. Ryan, of Cheat Neck. 1t seems
that Williams, Ryan and others at
tended social gathering one even
ing. There was some liquor in the
crowd and it proved, as is usually
the case, a disturbing element, finally
arousing considerable of beligerent
spirit all around After time, so
the story goes, when there was
particularly strong wave of intoxica-
ton depressing the social atmos-
phere, Williams drew a revolver and
shot Ryan three times - twice
through the clothes, which did his
person no particular injury, and
once so near the brain as to scrape
hair off the head.
Williams fled and that neighbor-
hood has known him no more. He
went to Fairchance, where his father
is in the livery business, and proba
bly, considered himself safe so long
as he Stunned West Virginia soil.
Shortly after the occurrence an in
dictment was found against him
at session of the Grand Jury here.
Not long since a requisition was Sc
cured from the governor of Pennsyl-
vania for Williams arrest, and an
officer at Fairchanee quietly took
him to the Uniontown Jail and he
was then brought on here. Will
liams claims that he had good cause
to do the shooting Ryan claims he
had no cause. Whether or not there
was cause will be for the February
court to decide.

THREE MEN ARRESTED.
Charged With Having Robbed the Man.
ningt0n POst0fflce Several Months
Ago.

Assistant Deputy Marshal Thorn
as, of Warrington, made three i'm
portant arrests last Friday of men
who are supposed to have robbed the
Warrington postoffice August Oath
last, of 1921 in stamps and 3 regis
tered letters. The men were recog-
nized by p. M. McCracken and one
of them, mason, a stranger, was
placed under arrest. The other two
were followed to Fairmont and ar.
rested and are now in jail there.
They made remark that they hadn t
been at Warrington since they
robbed the postoffice.
The two arrests at Fairmont were
Tony Tibbs, of Palatine, and j. H.
Doyle, a stranger. The men were
arrested on warrants charging them
with the robbery after they were
recognized by the Warrington post
master. They admit being at Man
nington the night of the robbery.

How About an Ice Plants

There has been talk in the past
of building an ice plant in Morgan.
town. This is an excellent time to
revive the question. Two-thirds OF
the winter is practically past and
there is not the slightest indication
of an ice crop of the natural variety.
An ice plant can be operated with
great. profit and yet supply custo-
mers at as low figures as they can
procure natural ice. Many people
prefer manufactured ice for the rea-
son that it is absolutely pure, being
made of distilled water. A plant
costing few thousand dollars could
be built on the Beechurst addition,
supplied with mountain water and
natural gas at nominal figure, and
made to pay in clear profit of % to sc
per cent. Let some of our enter
prising citizens think of this. With
our railroad facilities many tons
could be shipped both directions
daily. 1t will be good thing.

Church Doings and Church People.

Revival meetings under the direc-
tion of the Epworth League, are be-
ing held in the M. K. church, Mon
day and Tuesday evenings of each
week. A different leader and good
singing at each service.
The pastors of the churches in
town announced on Sunday that
Thursday being the Day of Prayer
for Colleges, services appropriate
to this would be held at the M. E.
church Thursday evening of this
week. Vice president Reynolds of
the University, expects to be pres
ent and will speak. Beside the fac
ulty and students, members of other
churches are invited to be present.
1t is said that panic seasons are
always attended with great religious
reviyals throughout the country they
affect. Generally speaking such has
been the case, but locally this has
not proved true. There have been
some very successful meetings in the
county, but they are few compared
to what have been known, and in
Morgantown there have been no SER
les of meetings other than those of
the week of prayer.

Married.

SoUTH-DAvIs-Miss Sarah Eliza
beth Davis, only daughter of Lorenzo
Davis, of Vaudeville, was married to
Plummer William South. at high
noon Tuesday at the residence of the
brides parents. The groom is the
son of E. A. South, of Orion, ILL.,, and
brother of Mrs. j. Marion Carlow,
of this county. The groom's father
is an extensive land owner and
president of the First National Bank
of Orion. The bride is the daughter
of one of the leading citizens of
Monongalia county. By the mar
riage of Miss Davis we lose one of
Monongalia's fairest and most pop
ular daughters, but what is our lost
is some ones else gain. About fifty
guests were present and among those
from a distance were j Ewing Davis,
Of Chicago, brother of the bride and
Charles South, of Orion, Ill. brother
of the groom. Mr.. and Mrs. South
were the recipients of many hand
some and costly presents. The new
ly married couple leave this, Wed
nesday, afternoon for Orion, their
future residence. Their hosts of
friends predict for them much hap
lpiness and prosperity, and hope that
through life their pathway may be
strewn with roses.

More Oil to Flow.

d. L. Donley the coil King" of
Mt Morris, was here a short time
Thursday. Mr.. Donley was in a
happy mood and if the anticipations
which he and others of the oleagin-
Gus few indulge are realized there
will be just cause for wave of gen
eral good feeling in and around
the oil country of the west aide. He
did not state it as positive opinion
but it is his belief that there is more
development to follow over there.
The lines which marked the field
will in all probability be widened,
and if they are they will be re-
currence of the highly profitable oil
excitement Of a few years ago. Re-
Gently several engines and boilers
for new rigs have been unloaded
here. Oil development operations
on big scale may yet be looked
for.

A GREAT DEVELOPER.
The +. NJ. & +. Extension will Bring
West Yirginia's Wealth to Market.

The Connelsville Courier in its
last issue has lengthy article on
the railroad extension from here to
that point (Which it designates as
the State Line road devoted chiefly
TO the manner in which it will bene-
fit Connellsville, but giving consider
able information of what business
generally the road will open up
The article is not here given entire,
only such parts being taken as will
be of particular interet to our read
ers. 1t says that 'in few weeks
at farthest the road will be open for
business" Then it proceeds to say
The State Line promises to be an
important feeder. and unless expert
eneed railroad men miss their guess
very much it will prove one of the
best paying properties the company
has. At Fairmont the line connects
with the West Virginia d Pittsburg,
which penetrates the heart of the
coal and timber regions of West Vir
GINA. Its present terminus is Cam
den ont auley. The Kanawha IL
Michigan road, whose present ter
minus is Charleston, w. Va. is push
ing out toward Camden on Gauley
with a view TO connecting with that
system. This will form a network
of developing lines that will bring
immense quantities of coal and lum-
Der northward via the State Line.
The lumber will be m arketed in
Pittsburg and the adjacent country.
The coal will go to the Lake trade.
Lake shippers now pay so 40 per ton
for Monongahela coal. The West
Virginia coal, which for steam pur-
poses is said to be just as good, can
be delivered for SLIGO to $3.50 per
ton, from 25 to 334 per cent less.
The margin will undoubtedly make
the market"
