NOT STARTED.
Morgantown aud Greenmont Bridge
Has not yet Been Begun-Will Have
to be Completed on Time.

Work has not yet begun on the new
Greenmont and Morgantown bridge
but'it will have to be finished on time
or the penalties in the contract will
be enforced. There was nothing in
the agreement as to the beginning of
the work but it was promised by the
contractors that they would start it
within ten days Of the time of the
signing of the articles.
They have not lived up to this
promise and have lost some very fine
weather for the building of it. They
will have to get it done by the first of
April. Everyone would like to see it
well under way before the hard win
ter weather stops it for the time be-
ing. The bridge will be a most i'm
portant one locally and we are very
much interested in seeing it well be-
gun.

WANTS A PARK.
DR.. White Favors the Plan and Will
Make q Contribution.

1t is known that the committee of
twenty has been unable to decide
what disposition to make of the mon
ey left from the Chadwick Day fund,
Below is copy of letter addressed
to DR.. |. Q. White and also his an
swer. The letter was sent to each
member of the committee.
DR.. L. c. WHITE. Dear Sir:-As
there seems to be considerable diff
Guilty in getting the general commit
tee together in order to determine in
regard to the $500 left over from the
Chadwick Sword Fund, 1 have re-
quested each member to give his
opinion as to how the surplus shall
be employed. Some are in favor of a
park: some of statue to our greatest
citizen; some of giving it to the old
soldiers to erect monument; and
some of giving it towards the estab-
lishment of an incorporated band to
be kept permanently for the city of
Morgantown. 1t is evident that the
first two of these propositions will be
helped very little by the $500; and it
is feared that any movement to erect
a statue to Senator Wiley here would
prejudice our earnest determination to
have statue of him put in the Capt.
tol at Washington by the Legislature.
Please express your opinion on the
back Of this letter and return to me.
Yours very truly,
r. M. G. BROWN.

THE ANSWER.

My dear Commander Broscn;-I am
in favor of the Park, and If suitable
grounds can be acquired will give
800 to fund for identifying the
same. Let us have the Park, and
make of it a s'thing Of beauty" 1T
will then prove ssjoy forever to us
and our successors. l. @. WHITE.

The biggest trust after all is the
country newspaper. 1t trusts almost
everything, and for this reason the
people like it. 1t is the only trust on
earth that is worked to the limit and
the only trust where the proprietor
gets the smallest share Of the divi.
dends. Every city and State has a
branch Office Of this trust, and the
trusting soul who goes down in his
pocket for the dust to keep this trust
going is abused like pirate If he even
hints that his paper needs something
besides air to keep his trust inflated
A MOVE is on foot to move Bethany

its own salvation. 1t is coming out Of

quietly without all this turmoil over
