rHEMoNoNoAHELA TExTrLEco,
Manufacturers of Fine wooden Fab
RIGS.

Among the industrial enterprises OF
Morgantown none are more favorably
known than The Monongahela Tex
tile Company. Their steady growth
from comparatively small beginning
to their present extensive interests is
due largely to the high quality OF
work that they have uniformly
turned from their establishment, and
the success with which they have I'M
dertaken and carried out large manu-
featuring contracts. To-day their
goods are in demand in all sections of
the country, which is convincing proof
that the company is manufacturing a
superior grade of goods and has the
brains and blood to push their sales.
Their magnificent plant-which is
three-story brick structures located
in the village of Seneca, a short dis
lance north of Morgantown proper,
on the line of the B. y o. railroad
and on the bank of the Monongahela
river, thus affording them shipping
facilities both by rail and water. The
plant is thoroughly equipped with all
the up to-date machinery and appli-
ances necessary for the successful con-
duct of their business, and the
magnitude of their operations is ex-
pressed in a force of from so to 10
people constantly kept busy Each
employee is a skilled artist in his or
her particular line of the business,
many of whom learned their trade in
the wooden mills of the East and
other sections of the country. They
manufacture fine WOODEN blankets,
dress fiannels and ladies' fine wooden
skirt patterns of handsome designs and
shades. These goods are fast becom-
ing known throughout the country,
and are meeting with popular favor in
the market, because they invariably
give perfect satisfaction. The facto-
ry is running on full time, with plenty
of orders ahead and the prospect for
future business was never brighter.
The officers of the company are, j. ID,
Sands, President; w. K. Given, Sec
rotary and Treasurer. John NJ. Given
is the eastern selling agent, with Of
fees in New York and Pittsburg.

LEG BROKEN.
Noses Smith Breaks his Leg Near the
thigh in Peculiar Manner.

Moses Smith a son of George
Smith had his leg broken on Satur-
day night. The story told by Smith
and his comrades about how the
injury was received is that they
were sitting on the suspension
bridge after midnight and all at
once Smith jumped up and started
to run.
The presumption on the part of
the other boys is that he was asleep
and he cannot give any reason for
the move. He soon fell down and
when the other boys got to him he
could not stand up. The injured
boy was carried to the office of Drs
Fitch and Gibbons and later taken
to Thornt Wells on Front street.
DR.. Gibbons set the leg and Moses
is now doing what he can to get ovel
the hurt. He has been injured sew
eral times before having had his
arm and collar bone broken and
showed wonderful nerve during the
setting Of the injured member.

Man.

This well known and admirably
conducted store is the center of at
traction to large portion of this
community, being by common con.
sent the leading and best equipped
house of it's kind in this part of the
state. No business house in the
city is more distinctly cosmopolitan
in appearance, class of goods and
manner of doing business. That the
house caters to the best trade may
be inferred at once from the at
tractive aspect Of the heavily stock
ed and handsome store, and that it
does large trade may be learned
by noting the activity of the clerical
force on all business days of the
week. The liberal and prompt way
in which the wants of patrons are
attended to, bespeaks an unusual
share of popularity. The store is
most conveniently located in the
new Poster Building, corner of High
and Walnut streets, and is thor
oughly equipped with the latest i'm
provements, including cash and
package railway system. The pub
lie when shopping can step in and
select their clothing, furnishings
and shoes from the most desirable
assortment in this part of the state.
A complete stock of everything in
the way of mems, youths and boys
clothing is carried, also all the num-
erous details of mems furnishings.
In the shoe department can be found
complete stock OF the latest style
shoes for men, youths and boys; al
so every thing that is new in the
line of footwear for ladies, children
and misses at prices that cannot be
beaten in the county. Mr.. Whiting
ton has shod thousands of people
with $500 shoes for 25 cents by his
new coupon system. Call or write
for coupon book. In connection
with the regular business there is a
repairing department where shoes
are neatly and quickly repaired. Mr..
Wilmington personally looks after
the management of the store, and
pursues the most systematic meth
DDS in all affairs, and customers will
always find him alive to their wants.

The philosophy and usage of the
fragrant weed was well expressed by
the Quaker who replied to an objec-
ton, There is secret satisfaction
in smoking that thee knows nothing
about" To smoke for the true solace
Of the weed it is absolutely neces-
essary to patronize goods that can
be depended upon as first class, and
no better could be selected in this
locality than those manufactured by
E. J. Donley, manufactures of tobies
and cigars, located on Peasants
street. Here you will find these eel
ebrated brands of tobies-Old Gold
