"

i WE have the largest and best Sc
lectcd stock of wall paper in town.
Call and see it, at Skaters store,
Front and Bridge streets.
ONE of the best things done by
council is the appointment of an ad-
ditional patrolman. 1t adds very
greatly to the safety of the town.
The Hough House at Fairmont,
of recent years known as the Skin
ner Hotel, has been cold by Thomas
Hough to Ben Williams for $10,500.
The robins have come in for their
share of comment on the breaking
Of the backbone Of winter, which no
one regards as at all bad accident.
The postoffice at Ruby, Battelle
district, has been abolished. Other
offices near serve patrons as well as
having the additional post-station at
Ruby.
The construction train crew are
again located here, and probably
will be till the distant day when the
company takes the road from the
contractors.
BAKER & BAILEY, the hardware
de alers, have dissolved partnership,
Mr.. Baker retiring. The business
will continue at the old stand in the
Mann of w III pa;loy
T. w. ANDERSON, as agent, has
sold the Matthew Hennen lot in
South Morgantown to Edward De-
main for 800. This lot is the one
upon which the house was burned
last fall
j. r. MILLER has ordered the new
glass and iron fronts for the present
Odd Fellows building, which he
takes possession of April l. Mr.
Miller's family will reside on the
second floor Of the building.
IT SEEMS a long while till the 9th
Of April, with no society matters of
great Importance in the intervening
time, but preparations for and antic-
ipations INDUCED about the mill
tary ball tends to put glamour on
the tedium.
THE accident by which Ed G.
Protzman broke his left arm has al
so kept him away from his place of
business for the past week, though
he is able to sit up every day. The
fractured member was carefully set
and is now mending nicely.
LARGE bodies move slowly. This
may be likened unto the delibera-
tions Of the Monongahela Bank PEG
pie regarding a new building in
place of the one in which they now
do business. Matters of this kind
take considerable time in the dis
cussion.
THE Carnegie Oil and Gas Com
pany has leased large tract of land
on the west side and this side of
Point Marion and proposes TO carry
on extensive developing operations
the coming season. The west side
seems destined for many good things
in the upper portion of the valley
Mrs. Kitchens is removing to the
house at the foot of Main street now
occupied by Milton Miller, and Mr.
Miller is removing to the Wilson
House, on Front street. The house
near the head of Main street vacated

by Milton Hirschman as soon as
some repairs to it are completed.
MUMPs, that peculiar but not
alarming disease in which the glands
about the throat are swelled, is with
great many of the younger and in
some cases the older people. In the
county it also is having great run
with old and young alike. If you
are not certain that you have the
mumps just gargle with little vim
egar. If it's humps you'll know.
The farmers of Battelle expect
big wool clip this year, and there is
more interest being aroused there
now in wool growing than was ever
known before, all on account of the
recent upward tendency of wool
prices. The farmers of Monongalia
will realize this year, if they never
did before, that the Democratic is
the party of the masses and not the
classes.
DIR. FITcH's family will continue
to occupy their house while it is be-
ing moved, so very little inconveni-
ence is consequential to the moving.
A stop was made on the preparations
to move this house because some of
the material was in use under the
Pickenpaugh house, which would
have caused stop after moving be-
gan. Now they can proceed with
the moving with no halt called in
the operation.
ALONG with the talk of free wool
comes also the talk of more sheep
During court the farmers from all
sections of the county have been
giving their general views one to the
other on present conditions and fu-
ture prospects. Several of them said
that the increase in wool growing
would be remarkable this year.
There was no politics in this. These
honest men simply meant what they
said
COUNCIL will meet next Monday at
their room in the town building.
Even if you thought of attending the
session don't do it for there is scarce
ly room for the portly figures of the
Councilmen themselves in that little
room. Council meeting is a public
affair and in most places the citizens
attend the meetings, but Morgan
towns council always had such
way of budding up in little places
that the people couldn't get in if
they wanted to.
POSTMASTER DAVIS laughingly re-
marked to the New DOMINION that
he would not have to open Sunday
mail. Perhaps not, but that is just
a prophecy. There will be Sunday
mails in May, but not till May. By
that time possibly there will be
new postmaster here, and he will
just have gotten the chang of the
business by the time he will have to
devote his attention to opening the
mails that will arrive on the Sabbath
day along with the operation of the
railroad extension.
