THE work on the locks has been
going very well recently but it will

THE report that some Fairmont
women are ugly enough to stop a
clock seems to be true. A Fairmopt
man put his girls picture In his

run since.
THERE is an old saying that it is
useless to acquire knowledge unless
you have little common sense to sea-
son it. There are some glazing in
taDces of it around here and they
even haven't much knowledge.
THERE is lots of money tied up in
the bridges about town but every
one of them more than pays the in
terest on the investment. The city
would never have been what it is
W Without the bridges and it could new
er become what it will become had
they not been built
A GOOD old gentleman who nodded
through the services at church the
other day was seen to bow his head
irst as DR.. Leech made an impress
sive statement. A facetious member
wanted to know if that meant APP
proyal of the Doctors remark?
REV. A. CAMERON retains his in
terest in the addition across the
bridge back of the old graveyard.

bought out the other three owners.

THE prize fight is over and the
hackers Of the two men are still dis
satisfied as to the merits Of the two
fighters. They will probably be
brought together to thump one an
other some more for the edification of
The dead game sports who have the
price to get seat at the ringside.
THE new organ at the Methodist
church will be one of the finest in
the state when it is finished and it
will add very much to the charm of
the services at this place of worship.
Few towns of the size of Morgan
town can afford organs like the one
that this congregation is putting in.
THERE is some speculation as to
what the changes in schedule on the
railroad will be but nothing official
las been given out. While nothing
has been said Of the early and late
trains to Pittsburg it is not likely
that this service will be discontin

THE stone wall along the Kiger
lot on Bumbo Lane is being built.
1t will widen the street considerably
and will make it very good cross
street After the paving has been
cone on Walnut and Peasants this
will probably be the next street
paved in town. All of the alleys
will be covered with brick before
many years however.
THE first snow of the season was
seen on Friday afternoon when the
air at times had great many of the
fakes flying through it, The day
was raw bleak one and an ideal
time for the snow to begin to fall
The small boy hailed the white fore

and pictured glowing visions of the
pleasures of the cold season in his
minds eye that lost nothing by the
fact that they were some distance in

AN observing neighbor remarks
When yon meet "a school teacher
who has charge of the lower grades,
lift your hats reverently and bow
until you are dizzy. She is a public
henefactor This woman takes
lot of little bantlings, whose mothers
send them to school to get rid of
them, and although some of the
children are little anarchists that
neither father nor mother can get
along with, she turns them into use

The large coal deals that are be-
ing carried out in this section OF the
state and the feeling of prosperity
that we are enjoying on account OF
the vast sums of money that are be-
ing paid out for our coal are but
of the great development
that is ahead of us in the next few
years This end of the state will be
developed much quicker than any
ether section and the resultant
wealth will be almost incalculable.
THE rains of last week did not
raise the river enough to float the
coal barges and the fleets are still
lying in the harbor at PittsEurg
waiting for a favorable raise. The
losses that have been felt on account
of the lowness of the waters have
been enormous and they grow great
or every day that passes. Coal is
going up steadily in the lower mark
cts and the first ones to get there
will reap harvest.

orado 1t is the best written and
strongest local paper / ever saw. 1t
will save me writing letters and each
issue contains twenty times as much
rews as / could write in half day."
This gentlemen is well known in the
community and is one of our best
citizens He evidently knows a good
hing when he sees it.
ALTHOUGH the announcement was
made on Saturday that all the regu-
lar services would be held in the M.
i. church on Sunday it was decided
Saturday night that this could not
he done. The pieces of the big or
gan were scattered about and could
not be moved, the lecture room had
just been papered and it was feared
that fire would dry it too fast and
draw the paper. These and other
reasons caused the decision. The
congregation was distributed among
the other churches. This was the
first time the church has been closed
since DIR. Leech came here.
THE person who first remarked: ''If
you don't see what you want, ask for
