Tommy Wells, of Middlebourne,
as he familiarly known, was in the
city this morning. He requests us
to say the people of Middlebourne
want to see Sistersville grow into a
city and for this reason want to run
their narrow gauge railroad into our
town. We say LET the railroad come.
He further informs us that our
friend, 0. w. 0. Hardman thinks
we are pretty good fellows, even if
we do say some uncomplimentary
things about him occasionally. He
is little uneasy about our friend,
K. S. Boreman, the old temperance
orator of the Star. Boreman has
sold the Star and has bought drug
store and Tommy is afraid Boreman
will fill prescription occasionally.
just likeother ordinary druggists do.
Tommy is sure no one in Middle
borne is opposed to our city grow
ing, but thinks the few people in
his village have the right to pre-
vent us from getting a new city
charter because they know best
what we need here. Tommy is an
enthusiastic railroad man and we
hope he will live to ride into the
greatest town on earth" on the
best narrow guage railroad in the
state, and if he will come in often
and get better acquainted with our
people he will find that we are not
all bad, that some are real good,
and that others are not so good and
he may find a few as tough as his
republican official friends at the
county seat are reported to be, but
this is doubtful. We are glad the
people of Middlebourne have de-
cided to let Our town grow. We
return thanks.
