The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1899-10-25

Cheat river road and the prospects
are that it will be long time before
it does really go up the banks of the
raging Cheat.
Dam No. 10 will not be closed this
winter A section will be left in the
center large enough to allow the
passage Of large boats to carry ma
terial to No IL.
| PRoF w. p. WILEY has been on
the bench for several days as special
Judge in some cases in which Judge
Hagans could not act. The Profes
sor makes an excellent Judge.
THE young man who spends his
youth in being a rake will not be
able to hoe his row in manhood and
in his old age will be pushed in the
fence corner out Of the way.
Few towns In the state have bet
ter prospects than this town has and
she is ready to do all that she can
to help the movements for her deyel
opment to successful elimination.
Mr.. JOHN HATFIELD, of Donley d
Hatfield, is in Greene county closing
several important coal purchases for
capitalists. Mr.. Hatfield has been
much in demand lately for this work
IT does not pay to try to deceive
| the public. They will find you out
sooner or later. All the talking you
can do won't make you any bigger
than you are or your business any
more important.
IT may be that we will not have a
visit from Guys minstrel's this sea
son. ABOUT the only date they can
come is booked for another company
and unless the latter one can be
changed they will not be here.
EVERY one who could went to
Cheat on Sunday. The drive was a
delightful one and there was moth
ing left to be desired in either the
weather, the roads Of the other nat
ural surroundings.
The talk about the extension of the
Pennsylvania into this section will
not down and we don't want it to
down. But we would rather see the
road than to hear about it even though
the hearing is such good news. We
may not have to wait so very long un.
Til we do see it either.
The work of relaying the floor in
the bridge delays travel to some ex-
tent but the carpenters at work on
it are pushing it as fast as they can
and they will have it out of the way
as fast as this can be done.
COMPETITION among our merchants
is making them hustle. All are on
the alert for business and are using
all legitimate means to attract it. 1T
has come to the point that nothing
will succeed without intelligent and
never ceasing effort.
TRY our want ads. They cost but
little and the results are big. Every
one in town reads this paper and If
you want to tell everyone what you
have TO sell, rent or dispose of in any
way, to hire, to buy, to lease or any
of your wants can be made known to
everyone for only few cents.
THE season for killing quail does
not open until the first of the month
and people should watch and see to
1t that no quail are killed until that
time The violators of this law got
soaked last year and they should
get another dose this time If they
break over
DON'T forget DIR. Leech's lecture on
Thursday evening for the benefit of
/ the A. M. e. church. The Doctor
will give many bits of history about
the beginning of the civil war that
! otherwise are unwritten and to listen
to him anyway means an evening of
intellectual entertainment.
THE amount of grading on the Nor
gantown & Kingwood r. r is surpris-
ing to anyone who is not acquainted
with the manner in which Col. Gilmore
does business. A stroll up the track
bed from Dellslow some day will put
yGu next to the immense progress that
has been made in this direction.
PENNSYLVANIA hunters should not
be allowed to hunt here without the
payment of the tax They will be
palmed off as members of the family
with whom they are staying but this
is no excuse and the local people
should see to it that they do no
hunting unless they pay the price.
THE reports are revived about the
building Of the Pennsylvania road
up the river. 1t may be that the
plans now on foot will not be real
lied but it is certain that the road
will come before the lapse of very
many years. When it does come we
will make up for lost time in the de-
velopment that will follow.
THERE will be no lack OF applicants
to fill the positions under the rural de-
| livery system which is to be started
here on the first of next month. 1t
may be that there will be but two to
appoint as it is thought that one
route on either side of the ,.riyer will
be enough to establish in the start
while others will follow as the condi-
lions show that it is justified.
IT Is TO be hoped that the paving
of University hill from Bumbo Lane
to Wiley street may not be held
back by the lack of brick. Sweeney
says that he will not start to work
until he knows that the brick will
be there and that they must be
piled on the ground before he starts
In case there is any delay it will be
awful to work on the paving
A FRIEND pays a very deserved
| tribute to the memory of Harry
| Chalfant whose sudden death was
announced here the first of the week.
Harry had many friends who were
much grieved by the report that he
was dead and their sympathy goes
out to his aged father, brother and
sister in their affection Weston
/ Democrat.
THE letter from Walter A. Mes
TREAT to be found in another column
will be read with much interest The
impressions of Honolulu and the
strange sights seen there will not be
the least interesting parts Of the let
ter. He is close observer and his
sketches are very good Everyone
here is glad to learn that the mem
bers of the regiment from this place
are getting on so well and are hay-
ing such nice time.
i The scarcity of rabbits this fall is
attributed to the hunting of the bun
MES with ferrets which has been 60
