And More Raised to get the
Glass House.

has been hustling - The meeting
was pleased with the Work Done
The Committee was Instructed to do
all that they Could and then Cali An
other meeting-rhe Factory can be
Brought here-How much do You
Wanti in it,
The meeting held last night to hear
the report of the committee appointed
by the meeting held at the Office of
the Union improvement company was
fairly attended The committee re-
ported and the prospects of landing
the glass house are very good. 1t can
be done If the proper effort is made
and when that is known and the farther
fact that the effort can be made it
will be an easy matter to have it
made.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman, Col. S. A. Poster. As
chairman of the committee which
had been appointed to solicit sub
scriptions he made the report to the
meeting. He said that everywhere
he went he found the people anxious
TO get the factory. Some Of them
were willing to pay to get is and some
were not SO anxious. The meeting
had not been postponed long enough
to allow of very thorough canvass as
two days was very short time to do
anything in. Still the committee
thought that it had done well as it
had raised in two days more than
two thousand dollars and thought
that the rest could be raised with the
proper effort. They had determined
to report to the cammittee with two
thousand dollars and had more than
that sum raised from men who would
pay it. He asked that additions be
made to the committee as the work
was too much for three men.
W. w. Hayes suggested that there
were people present who had not been
seen and stated that they should be
allowed to contribute.
j. w. Wiles said that he had been
hard at work for two days and did not
feel like talking, but he wanted more
men on the committee.
E. M. Grant complimented the
committee on the showing it had
made. 1t was very much better than
he had expected in such short time
and the gentlemen in charge ought to
feel good over the results attained.
More can be done and must be done.
People who will get benefits every
day from the new factory have not
given cent. They must be seen and
they must give. Some of the SUBJ
scribers could double their subscrip-
tions and get them back in ninety
days. They will do it rather than let
the factory slip. The Seneca pays
dollars in the pockets Of subscribers
every day. Everybody should help
the committee. Simply because a
man has subscribed his duty is not
ended. We must make concerted,
united effort and we will succeed. II
we want the factory all we have to do
is to take it. He thought that the
committee should be continued until
the required sum is raised
w. H. Bannister referred to the ar
guments opposed by people and the
obstacles which had to be overcome
by the committee. Morgantown was
not different to any other town.
These kind of things were found every
where but there was salt enough to
save it. The effort would succeed.
Men would go into the factory who
would put their money in it and that
was the kind of factory the town
wanted. 1t will be better to start on
than the Seneca was when it started,
and everybody knows what that fac
tory is to the town. You will meet
opposition of course but by persever-
ence you will succeed.
The suggestion was then made
that the names of the subscribers
be read, and the secretary did so.
Those giving $50 or more and the
amounts given are: j. w. Wiles, $500;
t. Pickenpaugh, 500; S. A. Poster,
800; L. J. Gilmore, 800; j. A.
Titzel Co., 800; J. NJ. Wood, 800;
L. B. Wilgus, $50; j. l.. Keener, $50;
w. H. Bailey, so; L. j. Peabody, $50;
John G. LantZ, $50: and Morgan
town Post, $50.
The meeting commented on the
SUBSCRIPTIONS or MeSSrS. Wilgus, j. l..
Keener and the A. J. Titzel company
as they were new corners and had done
more for the town than many an old
resident The sentiment was that
they were deserving Of great credit for
their public spirit.
John Hunt asked for paper and
said that he could get number of
