CALHOUN AFTER 1T.
The Wilson Road Is Reaching
Out For Grantsvillc.

The Cairo IL Kanawha Valley Rail
road is one Of the most interesting
narrow guage railroads in this or any
other state. It's now practically com
pleted from Cairo to the Hughes riv-
er, distance of some twenty miles.
q pr"p0sision has been made to the
people of Calhoun county by the
Messrs. Wilson, The par ticulars Of
which we do not know, to extend
their line to Grantsvillc for certain
aid voted. A meeting was held at
that point Saturday, Dec. %, to con-
slider the proposition, which was well
attended.
The building Of this road would
block to some extent at least road
from Parkersburg up the Little Ka.
nawha and would make the traffic of
the upper kanawha Valley tributary
to the Ii. d o. at Cairo. 1t is said
that the latter road appreciates the
Importance of the proposed extension.
With the b. IL o. road and the Lit
tie kanamha Navigation Company
opposinga line up the Little Kama
wha it would take the united acticu
OF the people Of the valley to ever
get railroad built along the river
from Parkersburg. The futile
growth and development of Parkers-
burg and of the opening of the Gil
mer coal fields depend on such road.
The people Of Calhoun county want
to get out Of the woods and into
touch with the rest of the world by n
railroad and the Cairo 81 Kanawha
Valley is pushing to he the first road
into the county. We have aot lost
our faith, however, in the building of
road up the Little kanawha. -

An intellectual Trca,

Under the guidance and direction
of Miss Evelyn kenney a very excel

tastefully decorated was filled with
large and appreciative audience, and
so well was the - hole affair conduct.

the pleasure of teacher, pupils or
friends. At 2:3G promptly the pr

applause. The entertainment WA, :,
gratifying success i'll every particular,
which fact was largely owing t. IL,
energetic Efforts of the teacher, VIII,
manifested more than ordinary inter.
est and encouragement.
We could not fail to mention the
piece recited by miss kcnmcy on ac-
count Of the dignified manner in which
it was delivered 1t was both sympa
thetic and instructive and was well
received. Also the select reading by
Mrs. Nandcvender, it vas beauti

ed that she possessed ii wonderful tai
ent for elocution
The reports Of the school furnished
abundant proof that it has enjoyed AN
unusually prosperous term, and marks
a successful closing for the Mount
Buland School. At the close of the
entertainment some NJ the parents
made excellent addresses in which
they congratulated the teacher ard
pupils upon the good result Of their
labors, after which the teacher spoke
few appropriate words, thanking
all foI their good wishes, etc, thus
bringing the entertainment To close.

At this writing we are not prepar-
ell to say what the Legislature will
undertake to do with the idle convicts
now in the penitentiary, but if an at.
tempt Is made to work them on the
public roads the people sill find it a
costly experiment. The money it
will take to employ guards and main
tain the cnnvicts, to say nothing about
the opportunities it will afford those
who want to escape, will build more
roads than will be built by convicts.
and then it would give employment
to honest labor. Give the conyicts
solitary confinement. The people
have to tax themselves to pay the ex.
penses OF convicting men of crime,
and are they willing to lay an add.
tional tax on themselves to give the
criminals exercise and an opportuni.
ty to escape? There arc entirely too
many false and foolish theories about
conyict labor.

For some time every energy Of the
Parkersburg State journal has been
bent in the interest Of a railroad IN
the Little Kannwha river. We veri.
ly believe its efforts would have been
crowned with success ere this If all
the bushes men of Parkersburc and
along the line Of the proposed road
had given it the hearty corporation
that the enterprise merited. The
keen foresight Of the Journal man,
PgemeHt long ago pointed out that it
would be a death blow to Parker,
burg If hy n combinati,n Of circum.
stances she should lose the trade Of
the Little Kanawha Valley. The
people Of this county naturally pre-.
fer q rad up the river, but much
as we may prefer this road, in the
absence Of a positive guarantee that
the road will he built in the near fu.
ture, we must look elsewhere for nm
opening. We have millions Of dol,
lIrs worth Of timber, ties, tanbark
building stone, iron ore and in add.
ton to this, we are under.lain with
heavy veins Of coal, all Of which are
worthless and proftless in the absence
ofan outlet. Our agricultural and
horticultural interests are dormant

What will be done with the idle
convlots in the penitentiary, is a
question that will agitate the minds
OF the West Virginia law makers who
meet in short time now. Several
remedies have been suggested, one of
which is to work them on public roads.
Of all the suggestions we have heard
OF yet, it seems to us that the public
road scheme is the most impractical.
