Clarksburg is Just on the eve OF great
business boom. Everyone feelSit in the
air. In fact she has never known what
hard times or business depression IS, but
keeps on in the even tend Of her way with
none to modest or make afraid. IL will be
but q very short time until the Merchants
National Bank will occupy ils magnih-
cent building. Just completed, az the cor
ner OF Third aud Main streets For this
