FINE RECEPTION.
Fairmont Folks Look After Our
City Fathers in Great Shape.
GOOD RESULTS FROM THE VISIT.


Sand as Paving Base Cheaper and is
Claimed to be just as Good -Some
things TO think About-People should
Await the Action Of the Council and
be Ready to Abide by .-They were
Elected TO do what they are doing
and what they do will be right they
are Representative men and know
what they are about.
The mayor and the members of
the council who went to Fairmont
to look into the matter of street pay
ing up there are loudin their praises
of the way in which they were treat
ed by the city fathers of our up riv-
er neighbor. They were met at the
train by the entire city council and
were taken over the town in car.
riages and given all the information
in the possession of the Fairmonters.
One interesting and instructive
thing that they saw was street put
down with only sand under it for a
foundation. The street had been
down for six years and was appar-
emily as good as any in town. Or
in fact as good as any the council
has seen in any of their trips If
this works all right in Fairmont
there is no reason why it will not
work all right here and if it does the
cost will be very materially reduced.
We have sand here in abundance
and of course it is cheap. Broken
stone will be expensive and if the
sand can be used the cost will be
very much lower than was at first
calculated upon.
The council will investigate fully
and the voters can rest assured that
when the proposition is put it will be
made in the very best way and for
the very best interests of the town
They will know all there is to know
about street paving and being repre-
sentative men they will do what is
for the very best for every one con-
cerned. 1t will be a very good idea
to let them decide for us In the mat
ter. They will have more and better
information than any one else can get,
and they will be in better position to
judge what should be DONE
They were nominated on this issue
and elected. They have accepted the
responsibility and are doing the very
best they can to find out how to act
They lave the confidence Of the peo-
pie and should be backed in what
they do in every particular. The peo-
pie should make up their minds to
accept the decision of the council in
the matter as final. Then there can
be no mistake made.

The rivers and harbors committee
of congress have directed that fay.
orable report be made on Representa-
tive Dovener's resolution authorizing
the secretary of war to cause a survey
to be made of the West Fork of the
Monongahela river. The resolution
provides ''for preliminary survey
and for an estimate of the cost of i'm.
proving the river from the point OF
confluence with Tygart's Valley tc
Clarksburg. A series of locks and
dams will be constructed to enable
the small craft to navigate the stream
for the moving of coal, timber and
other products, forming an important
tributary to the commerce of the
Monongahela. Mr.. Dovener is con-
fident of the ultimate success of the
report.

Reduced Freight Rates For Settlers

In order to encourage the move
ment of settlers and land buyers from
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the
eastern states to Western Minnesota,
South Dakota and North Dakota, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry,
Co. has very materially reduced it,
carload rates for emigrant movables
so that farmers who have purchased
lands in Western Minnesota, South
Dakota and North Dakota can take
all of their belongings with them to
their new homes at small expense,
which inducement upon the part of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st Paul
Ry. will no doubt be greatly appreci-
ated by those who are thus benefited.

Provided for the Mail-BuiIding will
be Ready for Occupancy by July first.
The location for the new postof-
flee has been decided upon. 1t will
be on Main street on the lot between
the f. and NJ. Bank and Fenton
Rice's store. Drs. White, Courtney
and Brock are the gentleman who
are interested in the venture They
have received notice from the de-
partment that their bid for the
building was accepted and for them
to get ready to receive Uncle Sam
when July first comes around.
They have employed architect
Elmer + Jacobs to draw up the
plans for the new building and he is at
work on them now The building
is to be of brick with perhaps front
of stone. The first floor is to be oc-
cupied by the postoffice and the sec
ond and third used as office rooms.
The building will be very hand
some one and will add much to the
appearance of that part of the street
Work will have to begin on it very
soon as it will have to be ready for
occupancy by the first of July when
Or. Fitch the new postmaster takes
charge of the Office and the old one
J. j. Wharton retires. The contract
or will have no time to fool away but
will have TO make every edge cut to
get tue building ready by that time.
The postofiice will be fixed up in
modern style with all the accesso-
ries tat should he found in first
class office. There will be one thous-
and boxes half call and the rest lock
In the old Office there are seven hun
dred and fifty and the demand is tor
more. In short while this number
would be totally inadequate. The
boxes will be arranged better than
those in the old office and the effort
will be made to have everything
fixed for the best in the new one
The ground floor of the new office
will cover twenty three by sixty FIVE
feet inside measurement. This will
give plenty of room between the
boxes and the walls.

THE PLANS RECEIVED.
Architect Peoples at last Sends
on the Plans.

Meeting will be held at once and the
Contract let for the Building-No
time will be lost in finishing 1.-THE
Contractor will be required to give
a heavy bond TO get ii done in time
In couple Of weeks the Contract
will be let and the work will begin in
a short time thereafter No Reason
for further delay apparent.
The plans for the public school
building have been received and after
months of delay we can begin to see
the end of the trouble. The archi-
tect should have had the plans here
long ago but he didn't and
that is an end OF that matter.
The school board could have had
a meeting last night but for the alb
senee of President Lazzelle who was
at Wise. They will at once advertise
for bids and will give as short
time as possible before they are
closed and the contract for the build
ing let. There will not be more
than ten days or two weeks be al
lowed to elapse from the advertise
ment of the bids and the letting Of
the contract. The contractor who
ever he is will be required to give a
good big bond to have the house
ready for school next fall and he
will have to get a double shuttle
move on him to do it. There is to
be no further foolishness about the
building or at least that is what the
members of the school board say.
How soon the meeting of the
board will be held is hard to tell
but as soon as Mr.. Lazzelle comes
back the matter will be laid befol
him and he will call the meeting.
Every one is glad to know that there
is some prospect of getting the build
ing under way and that the delay
has apparently reached an end.

a CHARLESTON COMPLIMENT.
The Gazette says some very nice things
about Ben Morgan an old MonOngalia


In recent issue of the Charles
ton Gazette that paper takes the op.
portunity of singing out Ben Nor
gan who formerly was resi-.
dent Of this cou ty but who nov
lives in Charleston to say some very
nice things about him He is the
only member Of council who is men
toned editorially so the compliment
becomes so much the greater
The editorial is as follows
1t ought to be a pleasure-we
won't say the higher word duty-foI
the men who are entitled to vote in
the Fifth ward to go to the polls to
day and cast their ballots for B. S.
Morgan for member of the city coun-
Gil. We haven TIA word to say against
Mr.. Cassidy, the Republican candi-
date in the FIFTH ward. We only
wish that all men offered to us by
partisan conventions or caucuses
were of as good character as Mr.Ca
sidy. But it is fact that you might
ransack the United States from Ban
gor to Galveston and you couldn'
find better man for member of the
city council than Ben Morgan. He
is just stingy enough to be publicly
admirable, while privately subject
to very grave comment between
'you and me f" Ben Morgan's ser
vices as member Of the city council
of Charleston would be really worth
$4,000 a year to the taxpayers of the
city. We hope the voters will have
pride and public spirit enough to
make the vote for Morgan large
enough to demonstrate that they
fully understand what he stands for.
