Upshur county bud, and when the
Democrats threatened his seat few
days ago, we were well nigh in de-
spair But the clouds have frightened
and the winter our discomfort made
glorious summer by the announce
ment that Outright is to be spared
Who could look upon Cutright's
charms without emotion? Who
could forget the leonine locks sc
ravishly tossed from the alabastel
brow OF the sage Of Buckhannon
Who so indifferent to the sweet in

MORE IMPROveaENFs COMING.
A Big Enterprise for Valley District
Preston County gets move on
Railroad will help.

An important land sale for Valley
District was closed up here in King
wood, Monday of this week and the
deed made. The land sold was the
old home place of Gen. George W.
Fairfax near Reedsville, consisting
of about 600 acres of fine land and it
used to be magnificent estate, but
is sadly out Of repair now and the
buildings all gone to rack and ruin.
1t was purchased at public sale a
few years ago by w G. Brown, Of
this place, and Gay Fairfax and the
Watson Brothers, of Reedsville, for
about $1,000 and they have been
using it since to pasture and fatten
cattle. They have now sold it to X. M.
Arthur, of Roscoe, Pa, town near
Pittsburg, for $4,000. The nes pro-
prietor has plenty OF money and pro-
poses to spend about $25, 600 on the
place. He expects to build mag
nificent residence on the site OF the
old homestead and use it for a sum
mer hotel for his friends in and
about Pittsburg and will build new
fencing all over the place and erect
out buildings of all kinds, suitable
for the property. He does not get
possession till April LIST, except that
he puts in a saw mill at once to be-
gin saving lumber for building pur-
poses. This enterprise of Mr.. Ar
thurs means a big thing Tor the
people of that section and that much
spent up there ought to help consid-
erably, then besides that, the far
reaching effects when summer guests
come out there in years to come and
spend their money, is hard to esti-
mate Now if we can get the rail
road built on through to Morgan
town, with direct connection fol
Pittsburg by both land and water
transportation,.it will be a big thing
all around. -Kingwood Argus.
