The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1897-02-13
Why pay rent when Wjles can
sell you a large lot from $S5 up
or build youa house on easy
payments?

THE VALUE of an advertisement in
the New DOMINION was demonstrated
in the past week. In our last issue
Hirschmans advertised that all winter
goods would be sold at Half Price
AS consequence their store has been
crowded with buyers all week. They
could have used more clerks to wait on
trade, so busy were they, but all were
waited on. When you want people to
know good thing advertise in the
New DOMINION.
SOME mouths look like peaches and
cream, some like hole chopped into
brick wall to admit a door or win
dow. The mouth is the hotbed of
toothaches, the bunghole of oratory,
and babys browning glory. 1t is
patriotism's fountain head, and the
tool chest for pie; without it, the poll
tician would be a wanderer on the face
of the earth, and the cornetist would
go down to an unhonored grave. 1t is
the grocer's friend, the orators pride
and the dentists hope. -Kingtoood

IF you've heard this before keep
quiet and let the other fellow read it.
A large crowd was at railroad sta
tion in the West when a carriage
drove to the entrance aud an import
ant looking parsonage stepped out.
s'Who's that?" asked a bystander
''That," replied the station agent, sis
William Mckinley, the advance agent
of prosperity" els that SOP" said the
interrogation. ssThe advance agent of
prosperity, you say? Well, by jimmy,
he's hi of long way in advance
of his show!"
THE handsomest man in the senate
isn't there any more. He wasn't elect
ed this time. But the senator who is
likely to attract the most attention is
Col. r. E. Fast, of Morgantown. His
age is uncertain, but he don't look like
he was more than II. He is very
pleasant gentleman, frank and fair
law maker, but when it comes to po-
litical legislation, / feel like saying
that hanging wouldn't be too good for
Fast. He's ready debater, too,
and will smite friend as quickly
as foe, if he takes notion that way.
He and Senator Whitaker had quite
a tilt over the tan bark bill, and it
seemed to me that Fast did not get
the worst of it. The bill was killed
and Fast's little Ratchet had a good
deal to do with its early demise

OPERA HOUSE, one Jolly Night,
Thursday, February 18th, 1897, those
established American favorites 1.-THE
Moss Jollity Company" will appear
in their new play sThe Kodak" The
press throughout the country where
it has been played this season lay
particular stress on the bright, mer-
ry dialogue and music of this piece,
and credit Mr.. Moss with having
contracted for the best company of
artists he has ever engaged. This
organization entertainments in the
past have always been SO exception
ally good that the above would hard
ly seem probable, but look over
the new names that are to be found,
certainly promises some novelties of
more than ordinary interest. Mr.
Frank Moss, a character artist, who
last season stripped up Metropolitan
critics with his unique impersona
ton of a tramp, will undoubtedly
attract considerable notice. Prices,
gallery,i children Is cents, adults
% cents. Reserved seats 35 and so
cents.
In the building of the new court
house there will no doubt be many
bidders for the job. In the consid-
Grafton of bids and bidders, the com
missioners will have need to bear in
mind who the bidders are. 1t is not
always the cheapest that is the best,
and it always pays to have the best.
We learn that Mr.. G. W. L. Mayors,
of this place, will be one of the bid
ders for the erection of this massive
structure. Mr.. Mayors has repu-
tation that is to be proud Of, and his
work as it stands to-day is the best
Recommendation that can be offered
for builder worthy Of the name.
He built the court house at Clarks-
burg and the court house at Nor
gantown, both of which our neigh
bors are very proud of. Mr.. May
ers': bid may not be the lowest, but
in the long run we honestly believe
that it will be the best and the cheap
est. Contractors who leave no in
terest in the town or county will not
patronize home like home people,
and what money 10 paid out for the
construction OF this Temple Of JUS
tice should be distributed to the
people who furnish the means 70 pay
