During the present summer when
the Monongahela river was made free
By the purchase of the locks and dams
owned by the Monongahela Naviga-
tion Company, Hudson Brothers with
drew their packets, the Florence Belle
and Nellie Hudson, from the Allie
gheny river and put them into SER
vice on the Monongahela under the
name OF the Pittsburgh and Morgan
town Packet Company.
One of these splendid steamers
leaves the wharf at the foot OF Wood
street, Pittsburg, every morning at
9 a. M. except Sunday, which is at
a. M, and makes trip to Morgan
town, w. Va, distance OF los miles
giving passengers the benefit of day
light ride through all the locks and
dams Of the Monongahela. Hon. W.
+. Rumberger, of Craigsville, has
just returned from taking this trip
and speaks of it In most enthusiasts
tic manner. The Colonel says: II
have never in my life enjoyed pleas
aater journey than this one. The
splendid equipment of the steamers
Nellie Hudson and Florence Belle and
the courteous attention Of the officers
and employees, the magnificent seen
cry on all sides with new and sub
lime picturesqueness at every bend OF
the river, the fine and commodious
hotels at Morgantown and Cheat
river, and the uniform kindness and
attention that is shown to one at
eyc-y point all combined to make up
most delightful vacation. At
Morgantown we were quartered at
the Wallace house and although only
a 81 day house l must say in all my
travels east and west / have never
had the pleasure of stopping at a
better hotel. 1t has the equipment
OF many 81 day hotel and the
proprietor is the kind Of a man who
leaves nothing undone that can in any
way contribute to the comfort or happi-
ness of his guests. From Morgan.
town we took carriage to Cheat
river, distance of ~ miles. Here as
at Morgantown, is hotel that makes
you feel at home and the proprietor
of the Mountain house gives you to
understand that the house is yours
and that he is there TO make you COM
Portable and attend your wants. The
drive between these towns is simply
grand. OF course it is rough
mounta n country but the roads are
wide and smooth. Winding in and
out through gorges and forests and
amidst the most scenic spots the
smile of God ever fell upon the tray
elor is lost in wonder and amazement
at His handiwork and the twelve
miles are passed before he realizes the
flight of time.
'sOur people here 20 to all the sea-
side resorts and watering places dur
ing their vacation, but am sure they
find no place to equal Morgantown
and Cheat river and no trip SO easily
reached viii be attended with the
same courtesies on the part of the
officials of the transportion COM
pany.'
Captains John and S. p. Hudson are
well known to the residents of the
Allegheny valley and in fact the
whole of the county. Their prompt
business methods are well known and
once the fact of their new packet
line becomes known they will have
many passengers from old Armstrong.
