ADVERTISING.
Ii Has Revolutionized business ard
Benefited Humanity.

Advertising is indeed one Of the
great developments OF the age. 1t
has revolutionized business and
made it possible to accomplish In
few years what otherwise would have
taken generations to compass. To-
day the advertiser, through the me-
dunn Of the public press, can intro
ducc his article to the entire public
almost literally at bound. Such q
servant at the sellers elbow has
naturally made business vastly diff
ferent from what it was several hun
dred years ago.
1t is no longer necessary, as it
was in previous generations, to CON
fine ones commercial transactions
to a limited area. In fact, the man
ufacturer of to-day regards the world
as his field. and there are quite q
number of proprietary articles, wide
ly and favorably known in every
quarter Of the civilized world, which
have been introduced during the life
time of their present proprietors.
who are men only in the prime Of
life.
Without advertising, BY which it
is possible to reach and influence
hundreds OF thousands Of persons
simultaneously, such result could
not be accomplished in several gen
erations, If indeed it could be ac-
complished at ALL Nor has this adj
vertising benefited the seller only.
1t has brought to the knowledge of
the buyer the hundreds of improve
ments and articles by which Life can
be made more pleasant, by which
the health can be preserved, the pal
ate gratified, the intellect fed and
satisfied.
1t is DO exaggeration to say that
no force has conduced more to knit
the world closely together nor made
mutual Observation-Disclosures
ent. 1T is but the simple truth to
assert" says recent writer, that
the loss of the information which the
advertisements furnish would be one
OF the greatest imaginable misfor-
tunes to civilization.

liquor and some lost in poker
'You can very easily dispose of
$75 playing POKER said the court.
Detective G. w. Miller said Lewis
admitted to him that he had stolen
$50 and 500 from his employers on

THE GIRLS FOUND.
Missing Misses are Finally Located
They were Near Laurel Point mt
their Unele's.

The missing girls Anna Dean and
Laura Bradford who have been miss
ing since last Friday were located on
Thursday afternoon and were taken
home this morning by their father.
He was recalled from Fairmont and
came down on the afternoon train.
The information was given him by
chief Bennett who had found them
after a long search.
The girls were with an uncle near
Laurel Point. His name is John
Porter. They had gone there on We'd
nesday night. Inquiry there before
that time had failed to find them
and the father was surprised at them
coming to Porters.
Telephone inquiry of Laurel Point
and other places In the vicinity OF
where they were fails to bring out
much information about them or their
movements since Monday when they
were last seen in Morgantown. 1t is
reported that one Of the girls is sick
and that they have been taken home
by Mr.. Bradford but nothing definite
can be learned of this. Where they
have been In the meanwhile and what
they have been doing Is not known.
Nor has the reason for their strange
actions been found out.

Local Improvements to 60 on.

The fact that the river between
this place and Fairmont are being
done under the continuous contract
system will permit the work to go on
no matter what action Congress may
take at this session in regard to bill
for rivers and harbors. This contin-
gency was forseen when the bill was
passed appropriating the money to
bf1ild the locks and dams and it was
made so that nothing should interfere
with the locks and dams and with
the progress Of the work.
The contractor will begin next
spring just The same as if nothing had
happened to the rest of the rivers.
His money is appropriated and is
available at any time.

THE GIRLS STRUCK.
Grafton's Bell Telephone System Grip.
pled-U Unfair Treatment Alleged.

GRAFTON, w. Va, Dec. 22-The
resignation of Miss Mary Jenkins, who
has been the efficient manager OF the
central office of the Bell telephone at
this place for the past seven years,
took effect yesterday, Miss Grace
Blue manager OF the Peoples phone,
has been appointed TO take her place.
This movement on the part OF the
company has caused strike, and at
noon yesterday operators Misses Sadie
Good and Annie Kenny refused TO
work under the new manager. This
action has not been taken because OF
any objection TO Miss Blue, but they
felt that an injustice had been done
them by the company in selecting a
manager from an opposing concern
and in not giving them chance for
promotion. 1t was understood by the
young ladies when they accepted
minor position that should vacancy
occur the promotion would be made
from among the Bell employees. Some
of the subscribers OF the Bell phone
are threatening boycott and are
talking OF ordering out their phones.
Miss Blues resignation with the peo-
pies phone does not take effect until
the first of January, which leaves the
Bell Office with but one boy to run 1t.
Miss Jenkins resigned on account of
her approaching marriage with Henry
nj. Leps the announcement of which
was made In the NEW DOMINION some
days ago.

OUT OF WHACK.
South Morgantown Bridge Needing At
tention Very Badly win Get BE,
y0nd Repair Shortly.


The condition of the bridge be-
tween this place and South Morgan
town is such that it needs attention.
The nuts are all getting loose and if
the bridge is not fixed up shortly it
will cost a great deal more money to
do anything with it when the work
is started.
The big bridge to the new addi-
tion in Fairmont was left alone for
year or so like our bridge is being
done and man had to be sent from
the factory to go over the structure
and tighten up the nuts on it. One
side of the bridge is said to be sag
ged down as it is.
A great deal of complaint is being
made on this score and the county
court, the councils or who ever is
responsible should attend to the
matter. In case none of them will
undertake it alone it should be done
in partnership. The main thing is to
get it done.

Agricultural Interests OF the University
are In Good Hands-How the Repre-.
sentatiYes Impressed the People of
Barbour Profitable Lessons
for Farmers of the State.
The Philippi Plaindealer has the
following to say about the recent visit
of number OF well known Morgan
town gentlemen to that place:
j. II. Stewart, Director Of the Ex-
pertinent Station: t. G. Atkeson.
professor of Agriculture, and DIR.
Rhul, State Veterinary Surgeon, all of
Morgantown, attended the Farmers
Institute here last Thursday and add
ed very much TO the program by their
splendid talks. The farmers were
well pleased with these gentlemen and
are very well satisfied that the Agri-
cultural Department of the West Vir-
ginia University is in good hands
We were glad to see them here from
the fact that it brings the University
in touch with our farmers and thus
enables them to get much more in
formation from that institution than
formerly. We know that Drs. Stew
art, Atkeson and Ruhl will be glad 10
correspond with any of our farmers IN
regard to their work. So, farmers,
don't be backward about writing to
them for information.
Director Stewart gave some plain
practical talks on various farm sub
jects, at the institute which were lis
tened to with much interest. He says
the Experiment Station wants to help
the farmers, and insists that they
write the station when needing infor-
nation on the subject of agriculture.
Prof Atkeson discussed the neces-
sity of educated farmers, and showed
conclusively that old methods will no
longer succeed. He said that the far
mer needs to know more OF the scien-
ces than any other professional man.
''lf you have boy who wants to be a
farmer, and one who wants to study
law, educate both alike, y said he.
No wonder our profession is ridi
culed when great many farmers are
willing to belittle it themselves
Many parents work themselves, their
horses, cows and hens TO death 10 or
der that they may keep the son in
college that he may come back with
an utter contempt for the farm and
its managers.
'eTeach the boys, !" said he, .'that
farming is second to but one profess
sion or calling-that of the ministry"
DR.. Rhul gave very interesting
talk on the horse his diseases, &c.
The farmers were much interested in
his lecture, as was demonstrated by
the number Of questions propounded
TO him at the close.
We regretted very much that time
did not permit US to draw out from
these gentlemen much information
that we wanted.
Every farmer who raises or keeps
horses should have heard DR.. Rhul's
talk.

b. & o. New Owns the Monongah- Price
Paid Said to be Six Millions.

A special from Clarksburg tells of
the purchase of the Monongah road
by the Baltimore and Ohio. The sale
was completed this morning. The
price paid is not given but tit under
stood that it is not far from the fig
ures given out when the deal was first
talked of and that was $4,000, 900.
Senator Camden who is interested
in the road retains his coal interests
which are of some magnitude. The
Clarksburg reports state that the
Weston Shops will be removed to the
former place. II they are the town

Nothing wasted" appears to be
the order of the day in every branch
Of industry. The use of discarded
locomotive fues for the manufac-
ture of iron fence posts is the latest
illustration of this fact. The idea
was put in practice some time ago
by T. E. Calvert, general superin-
tendent Of the Burlington lines at
Lincoln, Nebraska. The advan-
tages the Burlington finds in its
new posts are that they will not
burn nor decay like the old style
posts Of wood. The cause of fails
ure OF more than one>half the woods
en- fence posts along the Burlington
lines has been fire. The details of
the manufacture Of the new posts
from old boiler fues are so ar
ranged that two workmen can turn
out fifty posts per day. The Bur>
lington will use large number this
year to replace wooden posts. Val
uing the discarded boiler flues at
what they would bring for scrap
iron, and counting the cost Of labor
the new iron fence posts are turned
out for fifteen cents a piece, about
the same as a wooden fence post
costs,
