FRED DERING's building on Wal
nut street has the front completed
and it presents about the handsom
est appearance of any building in
town.
The county court was in session
Monday and Tuesday canvassing
and certifying the vote of this coun-
ty There is much red tape about
it and great deal of work.
SOME Jealous old maid started the
report that young man out in H.
llnois had kissed his sweetheart sever
al times and caught diphtheria but so
far as we have learned there is no slls-
pension of the industry around here.
The following four items are taken
from the Argus:
The telephone line is now open be-
tween Kingwood and Morgantown by
way Of Masontown and Rohr. J. X.
Monroe has been out this week super
intending the completion of the line
between Masontown and Rehr.
j. M. Orr arrived home last week
from the University at Morgantown.
There has been considerable trouble
in the school Of late over athletics and
the foot ball business and some of the
students have been suspended, pend
ing an investigation by the Faculty
and Board of Regents.
On with the railroad to Morgan
town. Let the Black Bottle be un-
confined and the shrill whistle of Bill
Haneys locomotive waken up the red
brush along Huckleberry Ridge and
startle the sleepy inhabitants of Slab
town.
Now that the West Virginia North
ern r. r. is to be pushed right
through to Morgantown parties along
the route with cross ties for sale or
wanting to take contracts to furnish
same should apply at once to J. Ami
Martin, General Manager, Kingwood.
PRICE street is being greatly i'm
proved for a short distance from its
intersection with Wiley street on
the hill. A walk has already been
laid on one side of the street and
now the other side is to have one for
short distance. The street is also
being macadamized and graded pIop-
erly.
RESIDENTS of North Main street
and people who have to use the walks
in that section of town are complain
ing vigorously of it's fearful condi-
ton 1t is only matter of time un-
til some one will break limb or be
injured in some other way by it and
then the town will have law suit
on it's hands.
SEEING three of our prominent la
dies in an animated conversation in
front of one of Hirschman's show
windows aroused our reporters curios-
ity. Thinking he might hear some
thing of interest he drew near and
this is what he heard "That Boucle
Jacket is just lovely; the lining is the
prettiest ever saw, and if | had that
cape would be happy. 1t is so sty-
lish." Mrs. Blank remarked, II can
not see why some people will go away
from Morgantown to buy their wraps.
| attended Hirschman's Opening and
while away on my trip attended Wrap
openings in Pittsburg, and / felt proud
of the fact that here in Morgantown
saw as elegant line as | did in the
city and the prices are certainly about
one-third less. When / came back |
bought my wrap of Hirschman's, al
though | will confess my intentions
were to buy it while away. When any
of my friends from the city come here
1T iswith feelings of pride l that take
them to see Hirschmans store and
stock, and as you ladies say you in
tend to send away for wrap let's
step inside and see what they have.
With that they walked into the store.
The reporter stood outside to await de-
yelopments. In about half hour he
was rewarded by seeing the ladies come
out with smiling faces, ~two of them
happy with their new wraps. The
third one was happy that her advice
had been taken and Morgantown had
triumphed over the city.
This week is to witness two very
fine contests in which the University
foot ball team will be engaged. The
first is with the star aggregation at
Pittsburg styled the Three AS and
comes off on Thursday. This team
Us probably the finest team in the
United States outside the big east
ern college teams and If it had a
longer time to practice together it
would likely clean up anything on
the grid iron. This contest will be
a very exciting one and we hope for
our boys to give a good account of
themselves in it. If we should be
victorious over them our joy would
be unconfined. The team is in fine
condition and barring accidents will
win. The second contest is with
Greensburg at that place next Sat
urday. Three years ago at Connells-
vile Greensburg played with the col
lege boys to the time of 36 to 0 but
this year it will not be SO. If the
players are not too much banged up
in the Thursday game they are sure
to win. We have caught and passed
the Greensburg lads in the race for
foot ball honors. Any way it is
bound to be great contest and will
undoubtedly result in another vic
tory for the Old Gold and Blue. The
manager has gone after the Univer-
sity of Virginia in vigorous man
ner as the following telegram sent
them will show: 1--WE claim the
strongest team south of Mason
and Dixon's line. Will meet YOU
anywhere at any time and give or
take expenses" 1t is to be hoped
that this game may be arranged, for
II it is the championship of the
South will rest at Morgantown for
year at any rate. w. n j. will also
be brought to time and if possible
they will be induced to come against
the victorious mountaineers. If they
do you just watch the fur fly. We
viii be revenged Tor those old defeats
aud for the theft Of the game at
Wheeling last year. The indications
are now that the season SO well
begun will end in blaze Of glory.
