sold they removed the shops to

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is reported
here that the county court is to
convene next Saturday to tax
Harrison county to build another
expensive bridge within the cor
porate limits. We have heard
that Clarksburg had obtained a
City Charter and would hereafter
have more money than it could
use, paid in by the whisky men,
for license to sell liquid hell. We
don't want to be taxed any more
and hope Clarksburg will wait
one more year for the bridge un-
til the charter goes into effect.
Clarksburg may then build all
the bridges she wants, and build
them so wide and so safe that
even a drunken man can get ever.

MIR EDITOR We have heard
considerable talk of the county
building a bridge across Elk
creek to a new station on Judge
Gotf's farm. We want to regis
ter a kick against that proceed
ing. If the Judge wants a bridge
we are in favor of him building
it. He may make it as wide,
long. as high and paint it any
color that suits his fancy. But
we are opposed to the county
or town paying for it. Recently
Mr.. Elkins desired to make an
addition to the town Of Elkins.
He purchased a tract of land
across the river from the town,
and built at his own expense a
splendid bridge across the Valley
river; placing his property upon
