watched with interest by a great
many people. Those piles of brick
and sand should be put to some
use.
THE schedule changed yesterday.
The afternoon train arrived thirtys
five minutes earlier than it formerly
did. Many people thought that the
postoffice would open earlier. Conse-
quently the crowd began to gather
shortly after the train came in, and
it waited in the pouring rain until
4:45, the regular time for opening.
Mr.. Wharton says that no change will
be made in the postoffice hours just
yet on account of the change in
schedule
II. Z. DIAMETER, a student of Me
chanics at the University of West
Virginia,is at work upon a typewrit-
er, which is worked by compressed
air and embodies an entirely new APP
plication of this comparatively new
force. 1t is said that corporation
has been formed for it's manufacture
as soon as his invention can be pro-
tected by patent Mr.. Gammeter
was here Friday and seems to have
every confidence in his ability to make
the new machine go.-County Mail

yield us these items:
We understand that lock No. Is
will be located over half mile nearer
town than was first intended.
We are glad to learn that Col. r. E.
Fast is improving rapidly and will

Morgantown
That gifted Monongalian, Attorney
Frank Cox, was in town last night
and called to see us. Frank is one
of the strong young men of this
State, being a good lawyer, a ripe
scholar and thorough gentlemen.
Improving. This is the word that
comes from Morgantown concerning
Judge John Marshall Hagans. We
learned yesterday that he is getting
along splendidly and that ere long
he will be himself again. This was
gratifying news to us as it will be to
our numerous readers.
The Monongahela, as we have be-
fore stated, was lower until few
days ago than it ever was before.
Certain it is that it was four inches
lower than it was in the dry season
59years ago. There may be many
more droughts such as the one just
ended, but in all probability no one
living will ever see SO little water
in the river again as they saw this
year 1t is safe to say this because
SO great drought as the late one is
not expected next year, and before
the end of the succeeding year our
slackwater improvement will have
been finished, no doubt, and then
walking across dry shod will be a
thing of the past forever.
