Same Here.

Many of our people are indignant
at the powers that because Grafton
has been so completely ignored in
the recruiting of soldiers for the ar
my Bills were posted here once
notifying the public that a recruit
ing office would be opened, but the
officer never came, and those of our
young men who were anxious enough
to go to war went to other towns and
enlisted. If Grafton had been given
any show at all she would have fur
nished her full quota of men for the
war.-Grafton Sentinel.

A SURE GO.
The P. V. and c. Railroad will
Certainly come.

Extension from Brownsville to Fair
mont assnred-But few Months
More and the Trains will be Running
on the West Side of the Rixer-The
War with Spain is Delaying things
now but the Work may start this
Summer-Not later than next Spring
at any. Rate-The Surveyors are above
Point Marion coming this Way.
The railroad up the west side of
the river is an assured fact. 1t will
come this Fall or not later than next
Spring. 1t all depends on the little
incident which is now taking place
between this country and SPAN. If
the fuss is over soon enough to get
good start this fall the work will be
begun then. II not the people who are
back of the movement will wait I'M
til spring opens.
For number of years the exten-
sion of the p. V. and c. from Browns
vile up the river on the west side
has been talked about but as
yet nothing but talk has come of it.
However it is but just to say that
the people who are behind the move
ment have not until now done any
talking. This time they are the
ones who say that it is coming.
From a man who is in position to
know and who has a provisional con-
tract dependent on the beginning of
the work of construction it was
learned that the time for the exten-
sion is now but few months at the
most from us. He said that the
railroad people had fully decided to
to put the road through. The war
with Spain is the only disturbing
factor If that were over or there
were signs of peace which would
be consummated soon the work
would be begun at once. In case it
is found that the peace negotiations
will not be carried through until too
late in the fall to allow much work
to be done on the construction it will
be postponed until the weather opens
in the spring.
The extension will 90 to Fairmont
at once and will later be taken
through the center Of the state to
Charleston giving us direct commun-
ication with the richest section of
the state. AS a developer for this
valley and everything connected with
it the road will be a great thing. 1t
will help us more than anything else
that has happened for a long time
II will give us competition which
is always a good thing and never
better than when it exists between
railroa dis The great coal fields
which surround this place will have
more chance of development and
many leases which have been held
for years on for the completion of
this outlet will be opened up. The
advantages are so many and so obvi-
Gus that there is no necessity of
naming them.
The surveyors for the road are
now above Point Marion coming
this way. They are making the final
location and this is the last work
which has to be done before the dirt
can be moved The corps will work
through to Fairmont to which place
the road will be run.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
tWenty-four hours.

Another gunboat has been
captured by Dewey who has
been making hay while the
sun was shining. The rein
forcements which have been
started to him have begun to
arrive. The first expedition
stopped at the Ladrone IS
lands and captured the prin-
cipal one and left a garrison
there.
The navy department be-
lieves that Dewey attacked
Manila on the Fourth and he
may now be IN possession of
the city.
Admiral Cervera, who has
been bottled up in Santiago
harbor for seventy days, made
a bold dash for liberty on Sun
day. The result was that
his fleet was entirely destroy
ed. Seven vessels we're torn
to pieces. Not one escaped.
Three hundred and fifty men
were killed, one hundred and
sixty wounded and seventeen
hundred taken prisoner. On
our fleet one was killed and
four slightly wounded. The
victory could not have been
completer. The surprise into
which our fleet was thrown
by the sudden dash did not
prevent them from acting just
exactly right in every respect.
General Pando with five
thousand men has reached
Santiago.
Commodore Watson VIII be
started at once to attack the
coast of Spain.
The latest returns indicate
that fully one thousand men
were killed in our army before
Santiago before the battle
which began today.
Shafter gave the Spaniards
until noon today to surrender
or to get the women and chill
dren out of Santiago. He
stated that he would then be-
gin the final fighting which
would land him in the city be-
fore long. The Spaniards re-
fused to surrender and the
battle is now believed to be
on. The fleet is in the har-
Dor and is attacking the city
from the water.
