people has been removed. or course

The Episcopal Hall will be leased
to parties this summer for sum
mer home. 1t would make an ideal
place for large party of people to
spend the summer and will no doubt
be disposed of readily. Morgantown
is desirable in every respect as 9
summer resort and the only reason

spend the heated term here than dt
is because the merits of the towr
are not sufficiently well exploited.

work last week and in consequence,
many people are hunting him witt

j THERE isn't single live town il
the United States which is out O
debt. 1t is universally acknowledged
that while posterity is to receiv,
the benefits of all the improvements

their share of the expense. No towr
can improve very much at time MOI
very rapidly if the pay as you g

everybody who gets the benefits 0
any improvement, pay his proper
tionate share. When the truth o
these facts is recognized in Morgan
town, then we will begin to improv
our town with fair degree of speet
and not before.
