d. Chadwick, Dry Goods Notions and
OueenSWare.

When one considers the stride in
commerce that Morgantown has ia
ken in the last few years he must
need admit that not only have the
natural advantages aud resources
been factors in its greatness, but
that the indefatigable energy, fore
sight and absolute confidence of her
representative merchants have form
ed solid and permanent basis of
her steady growth and we are glad
to chronicle this addition of brains,
blood and energy to its enterprising
commercial resources. Mr.. Chad
wick is successfully conducting a
business whose business history ex
tends back to the infancy of Nor
gantown and it is the oldest bust
ness house in Monongalia County.
There have been some wholesale
changes made however and as time
advances so has this store advanced
and is to-day the leading house in
it's line in this section of the coun-
try. Here we find displayed Dry
goods, groceries, notions, queens
ware, glassware, table linens, ladies
furnishings, umbrellas, fancy goods
etc. Mr. Chadwick has conducted
the business for the past 10 years
and his aim is to carry the very best
and the greatest variety of goods
that will sell well together and to
afford the public the best service
possible and no one will ever be al
lowed to go away from his store
without feeling that they have Sc
cured courteous treatment, polite at
tention, and the best goods for the
least money. He is ever ready to
help promote the interests of Nor
gantown and is regarded by all as
one of our most substantial and en-
terprising citizens.

A few people are opposed to the
railroad subscription for fear it will
increase their taxes. Let us see.
The subscription if made will be
$45, 1000 with nothing but the inter
est payable for the first five years at
SO amounting to only $2250 year.
The assessed value Of the property
in Morgan District is over $l,700,-
600 and at Is cents on the hundred
dollars, or $3.50 on the 81 900 will
yield $3.50 or $500 more than
enough TO pay the interest. In a
year after the railroad is built it will
itself become subject to pay taxes,
and with the increase in values, bus
mess developed and increase in pop
ulation, will make the tax as low as
ten cents on 800 or 81 on each ST.
900. But even this will be greatly
reduced, If not wiped out, by the
earning of dividends on the preferred
stock all Of which will be owned by
the Districts and will be paid to the
credit Of the District, and in reduc-
tion Of taxes to pay interest on

Practically Agreed IInOn.


Two of the four appointments OF
supervisors of census for West Vir-
ginia have been practically agreed
upon, these of the Second and
Fourth districts, respectively, as
they are recognized congressionally.
1t is understood that Mr. L. G.
Powell, editor of the West Virginian

ed which will win, nor whether a
third man is likely to be named as
a compromise.
The selection ia the First district,
it is said, will not be made for sever
al weeks owing to the difficulty in
deciding among the aspirants.

ligencer, West Virginia will be en-
titled, under the apportionment, tc
four supervisors. Each of these will
receive 81 900 in compensation, and
their active duties will cover per

OUT AGAIN.
FairmOnt Has Another Terrible Sensa
ton Over The Ii0uOr Question.

Fairmont has gone dry again and
every saloon In town has its front
door closed. The council held anoth-
meeting on Saturday night and knock
ed the license in the head. This is
the second time they have done this
but this time the surprise is very
great.
The secret Of the action is to be
found in the positions taken on the
subject by the county court and the
council These bodies go to pulling
directly contrary on some of the ap-
plications. This lead them to finally
get clear over the traces and the coun-
Gil has refused to grant any permits
at all.
The old permits expired on May
first and the town is dry until the
council can be gotten together and
made to stay good by the liquor peo-
pie. The latter probably feel agrieved
at the fact that the men whom they
have been in close consultation with
won't stay as they are fixed.

The New DOMINION invites at

No2tber town In the State has as
good J ,ght to talk about boom as
Morgantown.
Therefore it is no indelicacy for the
NEW DOMINION to spread it all over
Its four pages.
1t is appropriate, too for the NEW
DoMINIoN to chronicle such matters
because it has always been at the
head and front Of the procession.

luded persons exist, will not hesitate
to say that the New DOMINION has

When Hon. Lewis Baker died last
Saturday there passed away the
spirit of man who waswidely known
and greatly esteemed in West Vir-
ginia of which state he was prom
inent lcitizen for many years. Mr..
y aher was man of remarkable
powers--a man of strong character,
with indomitable force and energy.
He was the founder of the Wheeling
Register and soon made it power
West Virginia in the days of re
pnstructian and it was largely due
his efforts that the state was
ed from her thralldom Mr.. Ba-
was strong fighter and made
NY bitter enemies as well as
equally STRONG friends. In private
life he was = most loving and kind
husband and father, always willing
to sacrifice himself for those he
loved. The remains will be laid to
rest at Wheeling near the old home
where he spent SO many happy
years.

The Railroad subscription will not
be donation or gift. The first and
only preferred stock will be equal to
the amount of the District subscrip-
tons and will be owned by the Dis
trict. All other stock subscribed
will be common stock and only en-
titled to dividends after the pre-
ferred stock owned by the Districts
has been paid its dividends The
Districts are given the first prefer
ence as to dividends to be paid out
of the Railroad earnings. This pre-
terred stock will have the interest
on the bonds, both being at the same
rate of five per cent. A stock pay
ing the same annual dividends az
the 5 per cent bonds, and after the

much as the bonds, and selling at

John Il. Price, Clerk of the County Court.
John E. Price has many qualifi-
cations that establish him firmly in
the confidence of the public, and he
alone is not to be congratulated for
having received the election of
Clerk of the County Courtin ,96, but
also those who voted for him to fill
that responsible position. He W as
born in this county in what is known
as Clay District, on Dunkard
Creek, Sept. "a, 1910, and received
his early education in the common
schools of that locality. He also
attended the j. r. Moore academy
for two years and some time at the
agricultural college. Mr.. Price is
proud of the fact that he is thor
oughly Monongalian by both
birth and training, and is heartily
in sympathy with anything and
everything that tends to advance
the interests of Morgantown or his
native county. 1t would be well
nigh impossible to say anything OF
Mr.. Price OF which our residents are
not familiar Since he became Clerk
of the Court he has made some i'm
provements in the office work, and
can be found at his office at any
business hour of the day. He is
popular with the people, and the
voters of this county have shown
commendable discrimination in Sc
lecting him to fill the office he now
holds Possessing social qualities
OF high order, he enjoys vide
circle of acquaintance and inhuenti-
nj friends

G. II. Hayes, Real Estate and Insur-
ancH

There are no class of men in
city that add more to enterprise
than those handling its realty. If
the fealty of city is kept on a
steady move upward it has ten
dency to keep general business good
by inspiring confidence and this ac
tivity is in large measure due to
the energy and shrewdness of the
men having it in charge. We find
such man in Mr.. c. r. Hayes
who was born and raised in this
county and has been in the present
business several years. His business
is to settle up estates buy and sell
mortgages, sell farms and city prop
erty and to manage properties in
general. He is recognized authority
in the real estate market in this
county and has carried through
many important transactions. In
connection with his extensive real
estate business he represents the
most reliable fire and life insurance
companies in the world. We give a
partial list, they are Hartford Of
Conn. Phoenix of Brooklyn, Prussian
National of Germany Norwich Union
Orient of Hartford, Lancashire of
Germany, United States of New
York, Milwaukee and Trans-Atlan-
tic of Germany and Home of New
York. Also the Home Life of New
York and those holding policies in
his agency are sure of the prompt
payment of all losses, having in his
office quite a number of acknow.
Judgements OF satisfactory adjust
ments. Mr.. Hayes is located on the
End floor OF the Brock Reed and
Wade building opposite the New

surance transactions extend all over
the country and he has gained an
enviable reputation for the prompt
and economical execution of ell
business placed in his hands.

True WUmanhOOd

The whole world has admired
and marvclcd at the endurance
shown by Dreyfus through his
five years Of excruciating expert
enccs.
The prosecuted man lifts the
curtain on the mystery and
points tC his devoted wife as the
inspiration Of his hcroically pa
tient behavior. Il had deter

1t has always been so since the
world began. The bravcst and

been inspired by the counsel Of
good women who loyalty loved
them. Like Nine. DrcN fus, they

The Tomato as a Tonic

The tomato has a high dletetic
value, and has been especially
recommended for use N cases of
blood impoverishment-a sugges-
ton which, perh@p>, rests upon
the fact that it confirms a consid-
cradle amount of iron. The
presence Of iron may easily be de-
ttctcd by apply ing TO the cut sur
face Of a tomato the ordinary
tests for this reagcnt. \ a food
for supplying iron the tomato is
far superior to any Of the combi-
nations Of iron as commonly used
as a means Of cnriching the
blood. 1t has long been known
that these inorganic compounds
cannot enter into the composition
of the blood. 1t is possible, how
ever, that they may sometimes
be useful, for, as has recently
been suggested, while they do
not enter into the composition of
the blood, they serve to neutral
iZa acid substances which form
insOluble salts with the iron Of
food, and thus prevent it's absorp-
tiCn and assimilation. In other
words, they act as protectives of
he nutrltive iron compounds Of
food. The tomato may serve a
similar purpose, and not only by
supplying the sour of iron, but
the introduction of a larger
amount than is needed, providing g,
for the conservation of sthe
amount actually required.-Good
Health.
