TIE state papers with almost one
voice are lamenting the resignation
of DR.. Reynolds as vice president O
the university, some of them how
ever seem to think that he has en-
tirely severed his connection will
the school. This is not SO; he is still

regretted it is not nearly so bad as
it is generally taken to be.

Bur for poor quarter beginning
with last April Morgantown's post
office would get an increase of $500
next year. 1t goes considerably be
yond the requirements for 800 in
crease and falls but little short of I
greater one. The business grows
STEADILY in volume and now is con
siderably in excess of $4,000. 1
takes hustling to keep up with tn,
requirements of successful con
duct of the office and the presen
force is taxed to the utmost. A few
more years and public building will
be an absolute necessity for the &C
commodation of the office. This il
only one evidence of the towns sub
stantial growth but it is a most con
vincing one.
THIS spring promises to break al
records for house building in Nor
gantown. The progress the tow
has made in the past five years il
wonderful but even a greater are o
prosperity is at hand. We hav,
never felt the hard time locally ant
thanks to our fortunate condition W,
never will. No town in the stat,
has such permanent, lasting, sub
stantial basis of prosperity as Nor
gantoxn. New buildings are goin,
up in every direction. The cole
weather has seemingly not evel
checked the impulse and in shor
time the favorable conditions o
spring will be here. The old tow
has at last awakened and before tn
average citizen is aware of it, it ha
become one of the best bushes

same school, the old Charles Tow
Academy (of which so many dis
tinguished persons were pupils
that each graduated No. 2 in hi
class, and that each was assigned t
the engineer department of tn
army. just here another coinci
