'tfnue to show to the world that Nor

PRESTON county people are greatly
surprised that there should be any
opposition to the railroad vote in
Monongalia. They are at loss to
know why anyone should follow such
a suicidal policy.
MORE people should seed the plat
OF ground between the curbing and
the sidewalk. They should be asham-
ed to allow such unsightly places to
remain when by little care they can
make such places of beauty out of
them.
THE cool nights are far from being
unpleasant, but they are not doing
the vegetation any good. The fruit
and other products of the farm are
being held back. The weather man
does not prophesy any very much
warmer weather for several days yet
but it is liable to come at any time.
A NUMBER of connections are being
made with the sewers on Peasants
street before the pavement goes down.
After this is done the pavement should

being laid. All the connections can
be made before hand and there is no
excuse for anyone neglecting it.
A FEW more stables could be
spared from the borough limits with
out any serious kick from anyone.
Geo. G. Baker is to be commended

of the community at heart will work
from now until election day the rail
road subscription will be carried
by a handsome majority and bust
ness will go forward by bounds. We
cannot afford to allow this opportun-
ity to pass.

IT is again announced that the
work on the extension of the T. v.
and C. is to begin soon. The officials
of the road have been in Brownsville
recently locating the route in that

layed them until this late in the
