HIRE ID very iibttt utdFu HON
4 about politics but just wait unit
this time next year.
! THE matrimonial market seems
to be somewhat more active but
prices have not advanced materially
THE death of Asa Miller removes
an old and well known citizen, an ex.
cellent man and one who had the
confidence and esteem Of everybody.
MosT of our people have had theil
summer vacations and are ready tc
buckle down to business again. Bus
mess men are getting ready for the
| fall campaign.
The wind is blowing over the oats
stubble and 1t will be but a few
weeks until frost will be found upon
the pumpkin and the fodder should
then be in the shock.
IT will be some days yet before
the John store will be moved to the
Second National Bank building.
Some alterations are to be made in
the room before they take it.
WHEN a woman takes husband
for better or for worse she nearly al
ways finds him worse than she ex-
pected. And then she can brag about
him as though he were the best man
in the world.
TWENTY 1--WE years ago half the
counties in West Virginia had no
newspapers. Now every county has
one and some Of them half dozen.
This shows as much as anything
else the growth OF the state.
THE following marriage licences
have recently been issued by the clerk
OF the county court: To Levi White
and Mettie Watson: Michael b. Cole
man and Luella A. Mccartney; VIM.
E. Cobun and Fannie e. Kelley: and
Peter B. Eddy and Prudy NJ. Tenant.
AS WORK on the railroad progresses
and the remarkable natural resources of
the country through which it passes
come TO be better understood the won
der is how 1t has been allowed to lie
dormant so long when IT is so near
and could have been so easily reached.
THE Chadwick sword has been or
dered. A representative Of Bailey,
Banks d. Biddle the famous Phia
delphia firm of manufacturers was
here to sign the specifications and
make all arrangements. The sword
will be beauty.
n I frfandc will
regret that he has sold his business
and will probably remove from Nor
gantown. He came here when mere
boy and went into business in a small
way and has grown into wide ac-
quaintanceship and built up very
profitable trade.
THE town will soon have chance
to fix up and get into condition to
receive the crowd of visitors from
all over this state and the western
part Of the Keystone state that will
pour into the place to witness the
celebration Of Chadwick Day in Oc-
tober
The next question is the arrange
ment and location of the Union de
pot. II it is made with the b d O.
there will necessarily be some
changes in the street and some adj
ditions to the track. There is not
at present room to accommodate the
business of one road.
Mr. LAKE PARK will be the scene
of musical festival on August II.
An elegant lecture at / a. m., a hui .
morst at 2:30, and the Ladies Sex
tette, the Smith sisters, perfect mu-
steal organization. AT p. M, a
grand concert by the Park sisters, the
greatest living lady cornetist, Miss
Anna Park, and at s O'Clock the
wonderful moving pictures. ~
WIrH the establishment of the
new filter Morgantown will have an
abundant supply of the very best
and purest water and as far as the
people here are concerned it cannot
come any too soon. The interests
of the town demand that it have a
first class water supply and it will
have it before very many weeks if
the present plans do not miscarry.
The tableware combine as will be
seen in another place in this paper
is coming on finely but the appras
ers for the local plant have not yet
done their work. They are expected
to be here before very long. The
plants in this section that have Civ
en- options have nearly all been
looked over and they are ready to go
into the trust at once.
Mr.. SWEENEY of the firm of
Sweeney and Houston who have the
contract for paving the streets here
has been in town and returned to
Pittsburg. He states that the work
will be finished in very short time
and the town will be given ample
time in order to get ready for Chad
wick Day. He has not great deal
more paving to do and will see to it
that this is done as fast as possible.
Mr.. w. A. PARKS, of Clay district
came into town on Wednesday with
his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Amanda
Parks to visit his daughter Miss
Stella who is a student at the Uni
versity. He called at this office and
presented one of the finest melons
we ever perused. For this he has
the thanks of the force who saw the
elephant in this way while the rest
of the population was at the circus.
WHAT opposition there was to
the M. Il X. railroad seems to have
entirely disappeared. There was no
sign of the injunction proceedings
that were talked of some time ago
when the court met to arrange for
the delivery ofthe bonds Everyone
seems to have cotton on our side of
the question. The bonds are to be
delivered as each two miles of road
are completed.
| IT is stated on apparently good
authority that the Fairmont glass
plant will be shut down by the COM
bine that is taking all the tableware
plants in this section into the newly
formed trust. This will not be rel
ished by our up river neighbors but
they will have to stand it for time
at least. What will be done here is
a matter of speculation but the man
ayers of the local plant incline to
the belief that it will run On as be
fore and that it will moreover be en-
larged. We hope that this view OF
the case is the correct one.
