UNIoNTowN papers are raising q
big kick over the big weeds which
are being allowed to remain in the
principal streets of that town by the
borough officials.
UNIoNTowN is experiencing wa
ter famine but if the efforts of par
ty of capitalists can avail anything
she will likely experience the hor-
rible fate which scarcity of beer
would entail.
ZEKE TAYLOR recently escaped
from the Parkersburg Jail was
captured last week near Clarksburg
and returned to Wood county. He
is the only one to be captured out of
a total of twenty one escaped Jail
birds.
MAJOR McGREw still yearns for
one of the seven from Uniontown
but he cometh not. However the
pile of work to be done steadily ac-
cumulates. About the only thing
which seems to be adequate about
the depot is the amount of work to
be done.
THE acme book store is having a
great run of custom. 1t is proving to
be about the most popular business
place in town and the rush has neces-
STATED an enlargement of the store
room. This has just been completed
and adds very much to the attractive.
ness of the place.
YESTERDAY was Labor Day but as
far as MOrgantOwn was concerned no
especial notice was taken of it. There
was too much work to be done. In
such villages as Fairmont where time
hangs heavy on their hands the MAYOR
had the day observed by proclama-
tion.

Hirschman's.
The sick on Pedlars are all i'm
proving. Sheriff Garrison was out
Sunday and he reports that his
father Capt. Garrison is recovering
and that Clark Wildman is still
growing better. Mr.. Andrew Brown
who has been ill for the past three
weeks is also getting better.
GREAT preparations are being
made for the Rutter concert to be
given at Point Marion ON Friday
afternoon and evening. A very
beautiful place has been selected and
refreshments will be served. A boat
will leave for Morgantown after the
evening concert and special train
will also run to Uniontown.
SATURDAY morning Mayor Keck
went after hackman at the depot
rather vigorously. He was warned
to keep back as were the others who
solicit business down there on the
arrival of trains. Some one who had
come through the crush had report
ed the scramble to the mayor and he
has decided to pnt an end to it.
When the Children

They will need States, Pencils,
Paper, Tablets, Composition
Books and many other school sup
plies. The place to get such
things is
THE ACME,
Dering Building.
The old platform at the depot is
being replaced by a new one. This
improvement leads to the reflection
that the platform is too narrow for
the great passenger traffic which
Morgantown now enjoys. 1t should
be widened if some plan can be
found to accomplish this. As it is
passengers are squeezed breathless
every time they try to run the block
ade.
LAST week, the White family held
their annual reunion at the old
homestead in Monongalia county,
w. Va. There were over 300 de-
sccndants present. The day was
pleasantly spent in feasting, games
and social conversation. An outsid-
er present told us he did not hear a
profane or unbecoming word, or see
an intoxicated person. Many rep
resentatives of this extensive family
reside in this county and are among
our best people Wayues6urq In

SUNDAY while on his way to the
funeral of James Teter, Arlie Chris

no time to save the wheel which was
badly wrecked. A horse stepped
through both wheels and the car
