The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1899-05-17

BORN, TO Prof. and Mrs. Frank
Keene at Emporia Kansas daughter.
WE are sorry that the Episcopal
ministers could not stay longer and
hope that they may soon come back
to visit us.
IF McDermott and company keep
on getting good wells what ON earth
are they to do with all the oil that
they will get?
.SEEING is believing Call at
Waters up-to-date Shoe Store and
see if their prices on shoes can be
beaten in the city.
WE won't have much base ball at
home this week but we will make up
for the lack of excitement when W.
& j. comes over here on Decoration
Day.
If Elkins and Beverly cannot set
the matter in any other way why
can't they divide the county into two
parts and let each one Of them have a
court house?
MEMS light and heavy shoes 92cts
house slippers fifty cents, carpet
slippers thirty cents, children's
shoes thirty-fiy cents at
Waters Shoe Store
FORTY dollars is the lowest price
at which high grade wheel sells.
The Rambler is the best wheel made
and it sells at the lowest price for a
first class wheel.
THE curb for use on Peasants street
is being placed on that street and as
soon as the grading is finished it will
be put into position so that the brick
can be laid at once.
THE showers are doing great deal
of good for the young vegetation
which is fairly climbing over itself in
its efforts to reach to the very top
notch of excellence.
PEOPLE on Front street are begin
ming to fix the places between the
pavement and the sidewalks and
very soon they will have the pref
test street in town.
THE unfayorable weather has re-
tarded the street paving TO some ex-
tent but the work Is being prosecuted
with considerable dispatch and will
be practically completed by mid-sum-
mer.
PEOPLE at this age of the world
have not time to listen to too long
song be it ever so wonderful and
good; so we simply say you will not
lose money by buying your shoes
at Waters.
THE depot which has been under
the hands Of number of painters for
some time has been finished and now
looks very much better than it did.
The painters have really made thing
of beauty out of it.
BEVERLY can gain nothing by OPP
posing the removal Of the court house
by force. The courts will have TO rule
in the matter and the loss of blood
that may attend any other course
would be an awful thing to contem-
plate.
PLEAsANTs street will not be paved
until a portion of Spruce has received
attention. This is due to some irreg-
ularity in the delivery of the curbing.
The pavement will be laid to the Wal
nut street junction OF Spruce before
the work is resumed on Peasants.
A NUMBER of bad places in the
streets have been filled with the
macadam taken from Peasants
street. Those holes have been full
of danger to the travelling public
and every one is glad to see them
filled up.
THE next meeting of the Mission
bytery will be held in Morgantown.
This was decided at the last meeting
of the society. A large number of
delegates from all over the state will
be in attendance.
THE Baptist congregation of Graf
the near future. One of the members
of the church has given the plan an
impetus by promising to give three
thousand dollars toward the erection
of the new building.
THE recent report of the State de-
partment Of agriculture indicates
prosperous year for West Virginia
farmers. The report shows the crop
outlook in all farm products and fruits
with the single exception of peaches,
to be excellent in nearly all the coun-
ties.
THE new schedule includes about
all the accommodation trains on the B.
& o. system on Sunday. 1t includes
two trains each way here running on
the same time as on week days. Last
Sunday being the first day under the
new order showed lighter business
than usual
YOUNG riders had better learn the
rules of the road There is lots of
complaint about the taking up of all
the street and not being certain which
side to pass on. Always pass on the
right when meeting and on the left if
going the same way. Always keep
on the right side of the street when
riding.
