the paved streets they will be as mud
dy when the rainy season comes as
they were before.
AN observant citizen thinks that
as the town grows the hills that over
| look the river will be the first to be
covered with homes.
| COMPLAINT is made that teamsters
at the wharf overload their teams and
abuse them. The proper autho rites
i should look after this.
MoRGANTowN is justly proud OF its
Public School building. 1t presents
most handsome appearance. 1t is
one Of the best edfices Of the kind in
West Virginia.
DIR. RAYMOND thinks that the
erection of attractive cottages would
materially assist in the efforts being
made to largely increase the number
OF students at the w. V. u.
THE prospect of largely increas-
ed attendance at the w. V. u, APP
pears to be fattering. 1t is pre-

only one who has been president that

ABE CoHEN's remark, In an inter-
view, to this paper more than year
ago is recalled by the robust business

whole lot of Jews and Italians in a
town you can bet it is prospecting and
that it is going to continue to do so. .
MORRIS SMITH who gained such an
unenviable notoriety through his con-
nection with the Stathers investiga-

bring damage suit against the
Clarksburg News. That paper last
week put him on the fire and literally
roasted him alive.

each year until the whole town is
completed The council is doing
everything possible in the way of paw
| ing

ed to abolish Collins Ferry. The own

gantown have for long time been
profitable and the prospects are good
for long continuation of the growth
and increased value of property. A

ongahela Valley that Morgantown be-
fore many years would contain ten
