THE passenger trade on the river is

that important suburb and give
them an easy and convenient means
of going and coming.
THERE were only three hundred
witnesses summoned before the Har-
rison county grand jury recently in
session. Very defective memories
were possessed by the majority of
these, and the many speakeasies at

THIRTY-sIx postmasters for West
Virginia alone were fired by the Re-
publicans last week in heroic effort
to uphold the civil service law SO elo-
quently defended in their national
platform. There is only one thing
that causes Republican to violate a
pledge, and that is the opportunity.
SOME days ago there was consider
able talk here in reference to the
death of F. d. Gurley, of Chicago, who
was the husband of Mary B. MADEIRA,
and some things not very compliment
tary were said of Mrs. Gurley. On
our first page is letter from that
lady that explains matters and clears
up the charges against her.
Work will be begun on the Baptist
church just as soon as their new pas
tor assumes charge the first of next
month, and it will be rushed to COM
pletion. Everyone will be glad to
learn of this intention. The edifice,
when completed, will be one OF the
handsomest in the state and very
decided improvement to the town.
QUITE commendable innovation
has been proposed by Photographer
Rogers to the Senior class. Cabinet
photos are to be taken of each mem
Der and a large frame containing
each academic graduated is to be
hung in the Library. This should
have been done by all former classes
and is certainly a very good idea
IN constructing a telephone line
across the farm owned by Mrs. r. f.
Naret, in Putnam county, against her
wishes, the builders made mistake.
She Immediately took legal steps to
remove the Objectionable line. Last
week representative of the line came
to Morgantown, and after much per
suasion, induced Mrs. Naret to accept
good fat check in payment Of dam
age. 1t may be seen from this that
the people have some rights which
even telephone companies are bound
to respect.
MAYOR KENDALL, of FairmOnt,
was here last week and attended the
contest When asked about the con-
dition of municipal affairs in Mar

thusiastic. 1--WE have the cleanest
town in West Virginia. No papel
or other refuse is allowed to bs
thrown on the streets. All dry
places about town have been cleaned
up and will be kept clean. Every
thing which would be menace to
the health of the town has beer
looked after. The laws are being
vigorously enforced and Fairmont
was never in better condition than
now"
THE Cheat Valley railroad is run
ming trains over the new road from
Rowlesburg to Hamilton, two and q
half miles north. The contractor,
j. M. Miller, has about one hundred
and fifty men employed grading and
laying the rails down the river. This
road Is to be built through to Pitts
burg, which Is only SO miles from
Rowlesburg. This will open the rich
coal and ore fields that lie down the
river, and furnish transportation f0l
the immense forests OF timber that
line the road on both sides. This road
is being built by Pennsylvania capt
talIsts who are on the ground oversee
ing the work. They are wide awake
business men who were wise enough
to see that money invested In thii
state Is sure TO bring good results.
