The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1899-08-02

THE debris has been removed from
peasants street jrom Main TO Long
.4lley and it is now one Of the pretti-
est streets in town. Other streets
ought to clean up.
WE are glad TO learn that Mr..
William Simpson who has been very
sick is improving. He has been sick
for a long time and it was thought
at one time that he could not recoy-
or
FIX up the side walk in front OF
your residence or place OF business.
There is no necessity Of leaving it in
the condition that it is now and the
appearance Of the whole town can be
improved.
THE Union improvement company
has purchased some land from II. H..
Domain on the Hill South of town and
will build monster reservoir there to
insure an abundant supply Of water
at all times.
THE blackberry crop is almost a
failure this year and but few of the
berries have been brought to town.
Those that have come in have been
small and Of poor quality and have
brought very high prices.
WHEN the Robinson show agent
was first here it was announced the
show would exhibit in Morgantown
on the 10th hence many people think
that is the date. Wednesday the
9Th is the correct date.
WITH the present facilities for trav-
el and the numerous cheap excursions
few people have any excuse for not
keeping up with the times. A trip to
the Pacific coast is a comparatively
small matter at this time.
THE hay harvest is not yet up and
the farmers or some Of them at least
are anxious that there be no more rain
until they get this attended to. The
rest Of the population are very thank
full that the rain came and cooled the
air off as nicely as IL did.
A STREET cleaning would not be
amiss. 1t might be good idea If
could be made for the
fire company to get out and clean off
the streets with the hose. They were
out but were prevented from doing
the cleaning up by various things.
THE Conneiisviile News was in
error when it stated that L. f. Evans
Of that place had the contract for
doing all of the plumbing for the
new University building. He has
only been given the contract forput-
ting in the plumbing for the gas
Ii lighting.
Work on the new glass house is
rapidly and they expect
to be making glass next month. The
boiler works is now running full time
and their prospects for big business
are very bright If they get the bus
mess they expect, the concern will
employ a large number OF men Man

THE Morgantown planning mill on
Avenue has just received
Al enormous lot of new material and
can fill an order for anything from
a closet door to whole house on
short notice. A short time ago they
were compelled to double their pow
81 as the business had outgrown the
of the works.
WHEELING will have merchants
week in connection with the state
fair which is to be held September
45h to Sth inclusive. Special sales
will be made in the stores of the
city during the week The move
Will no doubt attract thousands of
shoppers who would otherwise not
get to the city.
GRAFTON thinks that it has landed
/ window glass factory and is doing
great deal Of boquet throwing in con-
She may be glad that she
las accomplished the feat and the
of the town will be greatly
by the addition of this new
industry. Morgantown has room for
more of them and we should go after
lem.
PROBABLY the meanest deception
n the world is that of advertising
'ailway excursions with enlarged pic
lures of seaside bathing scenes, such
Is are used TO write society jokes un-
Ter in the New York illustrated papers.
The nymphs OF the seashore are sim
ply the winter fashion plate ladies
taking their sum ner outing in the
papers.
A SOLUTION containing from two
and one half to three percent of car
DolIc acid if injected is said to be an
almost certain cure for lock jaw,
Thirty one cases were treated and
thirty Of them proved cures. Thus is
)ne of the most awful visitations
changed into comparatively harm
less attack before the onslaughts of
science.
UNIoNTowN has two candidates
for the supreme bench in Pennsylva-
MIA. Judge Mestrezat was nominated
by the democratic state convention and
Mr.. II. l.. Robinson has been nomi-
mated by the state prohibition con-
Fayette seems to be receiv-
ing more than her share of honors of
this kind. Both gentlemen have per-
sonal friends here.
The merchant whose place of bust
ness is talked about is on the straight
road to success. 1t should therefore
be the constant aim of the aspiring
to attract public attention
To his establishment. To this end
the only really effective agency is ad-
vertising in the shape of interesting
daily business announcement in
which has secured the
public confidence.
The camp of the Morgantown peo-
pie at the new ferry on Cheat re-
c eived a number of accessions on
Wednesday and Thursday About
forty people are members of this
camp and they have one of the incest
