road viii Bring it and all the Good
Things That Necessarily Must Follow
Its Success Means New Era in Our
Growth Not Heretofore Dreamed Of
Let us make it unanimous.
The people want the Morgantown
and Kingwood Railroad.
The people don't object to the
Cheat River Railroad, but they do
protest and condemn the effort to
defeat the Morgantown and King
wood Railroad by the friends of the
former.
CALVIN Lyons, Balzar Rexroad,
and others who live in Union Dis
trict, and want the Cheat River
road had better contine their efforts
to building that and not opposing
our road. Their Interested advice
is not needed.
Calvin Lyons pays IS cents rail
road tax in Kingwood District, and
Jehu Stewart only 81 cents, and
both want the Cheat river railroad
and they fairly swell up with
Indignation at the great wrong that
will be done to Morgan District, if
the Decker's Creek railroad is built
by District aid. They are as dis
Interested as the hired laaoyers who
wrote their little pieces, and no
more
Vote for the railroad, open up a
new country, revive business, give
work to all our people, and help con
tinue the booming good times of
the last two years.
Shorten distance eastward thirty
miles, and time four hours, and
bring a thousand students to the
University, by voting for the new
railroad
A vote for the railroad means new
factories, mines, mills and every
kind of business, work for all who
want work, at good wages.
A vote for the railroad means
more than 1000 students next year.
1t means more people to be fed,
more business for the bake, the
butcher the grocer, the. market gar
dener, the fruit and berry man in
in short for all who in any way feed
the people.
It means three new factories in
or near Morgantown, one for buckets,
tubs, firkins, pals, and like vessels,
one for manufacture of excelsior"
and one for window glass. The first
will employ 40 men the second 20
men. and the latter over 100 men, in
and about the building, with many
more in the woods, at the saw mills,
and in the sand, and limestone quar-
ries
Greenmont viii get one or more
of these Already lots have been
rendered by Mrs Mackey, and ac-
cepted by Mr.. d. III. Gowing, of
Syracuse, New York, upon the sole
condition that the new railroad is
built.
Surveyors have located and run
in railroad switch at Mackey' s
mill and run off the lots offered for
sites for the new mills and facto
ries to be located at that point.
This is no fake. If the railroad is
built then these two plants employ
ing so men will be built. Mr.. Cow
ing already employs about 100 men
at Dellslow, has a locomotive and
two miles of tramroad, manufactures
scale boards, ground tan bark, keg
slaves, and lumber. He is here on
the ground experimenting the lay
ing off of the railroad switch and
lots upon which to put up one OF
both of these factories.
| If $4,000 loaned to the railroad,
or given to it, will bring 100000 OF
new taxable property into the Dis
trict will not that 100000 pay its
share of the taxes, and so tighten
your taxes?
One railroad doubled the taxable
wealth in a dozen years. Will not
a second one add at least % pei
cent to this wealth?
One railroad doubled, that is, add
ed ST 100000 to the taxable wealth
OF Morgan District. Willnot sec
ond road at least add half as much
or 100000? If so, this taxable
wealth will pay an average Of $l.I5
on the 500, in taxes for that is be
| low the average Of the District,
