The regular season of the year
for tearing up the streets has arriv-
ed. This will be avoided after the
payements go down. Then it should
be absolutely impossible to have
them torn up.
THE depot is receiving coat OF
paint that will not hurt its appear
ance in the slightest The force
came in on Thursday afternoon and
have been slashing on the paint ever
since its arrival.
THE new street lamps are likely to
be very expensive to keep up unless
they have the very best Of care and
attention. They are broken easily
and people as a general thing are not
very careful OF what belongs to the
town.
MRS. HARTIGAN, Mrs. Hirschman,
Miss Pierce and Mr. Stewart have
been asked by the Elks Of Union
town to assist in the musical pro-
gram at their benefit ON the 18th.
Quite compliment to Morgantown
talent.
People who have been wearing
linen suits and other equally light
clothing had better get ready to do
something else as the weather will
not permit that kind Of liberties to
be taken too eften with it at this
season Of the year.
DEwING and Sons have sold about
$4,000 acres of timber lands in Ran
dolph county to United States
Leather Company for $750,OO0.OO.
These lands were purchased by
Dewing 4 Sons for about $1.00 per
acre.
~ THE second section of the cadet
corps is having target practice up the
creek every week. There are thirteen
men in the section which is larger
than it has been for several years.
Some of the men are likely to de-
velOp in to first class shots while the
progress OF some Of the Others is not
very much to brag of.
THERE is no celebration of Deccra-
tion day set for this place and every
one who wants to go anywhere can
90 away from home to spend his
money This should not be allowed |
but every time that any chance affords
it should be taken to havea big time |
at home. 1t means dollars in the
lockets of the business people.
A DECISION has been made to have
several Of the streets narrower in
the paving than was at first propos-
ed. This is good move. There is
no necessity of having them very
wide and the saving in making them
narrower will allow more paving to
be done. Two hundred and fifty |
dollars will be saved on Peasants
street al one by this plan.
THE Ninth Annual Convention of I
the Young Peoples Society of Chris
tian Endeavor in West Virginia will
be held at Wheeling, May %, "a and
25th. The Wheeling Endeavorers are
making arrangements to royalty en-
terrain all who attend. They want
: at least 500 young people who are en-
listed In the Christian Endeavor work
to accept their invitation. A splen-
did program is in preparation and
good time is expected.
THE Daily Sentinel of Grafton is
the latest venture in the field Of daily |
journalism in the state The first
few numbers that have reached us
show that the promoters expect to
have good daily and that they are
receiving fair share of the advertis-
ing patronage Of the town. Grafton |
is big enough to support daily and
it uOw remains to be seen If the town |
will be as large in heart as 1t IS in
size.
The Sentinel is reliably informed
that responsible stock company
has made the city council propo
sition to pay five thousand dollars
annually for the exclusive privilege
of selling spirituous liquors in Graf
ton, the applicant to have the right
to open two saloons in different To-
calities and no license to be issued
to any other person. The PROPOSE
tion has been received with much
favor bv the council. Sen
tinel.
SOME people over town are drinking
well water This practice has been
kept up for long time and many
cases OF fever can be traced directly to
it. Wells in town of this size and
especially when the soil is of the
character of the ground on which we
live are full of impurities. The fact
that the water is clear and tastes
sweet is no guarantee that it is pure.
In reality that is often an indication
that it Is the most dangerous. Ii
you are drinking we'll water do not
neglect to boil it before using it,
LI0RxNING has been unusually bad |
this spring and the storms on We'd
nesday were the worst that have been |
UenFfor years in this section. The
Istorms were general. In Preston
county besides killing couple of men
lightning struck several houses and
numerous trees and barns. Live stock |
was also killed. In the neighboring |
county 81 Fayette great many places
report the bolts having made land
Ing but no one was killed as far as
known. The fact that no one was
seriously hurt in this county Is GER
tainly fortunate circumstance as the
flashes seemed certain to result in loss
Of life.
THE Uniontown Democrat says:
The early building of the Cheat river
railroad is now an assured fact. The
charter calls for line from Point
Marion Pa, to Parsons, W. Va,
where 1t connects with the West Vir-
Rinia central, and connection is also
Contemplated with the Chesapeake &
Ohio. Rev. w. o. Wilson, right of
way agent for the company, last week
obtained five miles of free right of
way, which makes, altogether, "a
miles OF the distance taken up. After
completion this will, no doubt, prove
to be great terminal railroad, no less
