nal trade and seems to have the hap
py faculty OF pleasing and satisfying
It's patrons. 1t fills the bill for a

PECULIAR SUIT AGAINST A WOMAN
Claimed That Mrs. Irig Would not Pay
Her Share for Developing an Oil

Lease.
Geo. William Neale has been APP
pointed BY Judge J. J. Jackson

report an account therein.
This is one of the most peculiar
cases in the local history of oil liti-

ers became financially interested
in an oil lease owned by Mrs. +. e.
Irig and A. J. Yoke All Of the par
ties interested contributed to the
fund for the Development of the lease
but Mrs. Irig, SO the plaintiff alleges.
1t was supposed that she would pay
in her share when the drilling was
completed, but, the declaration,
states she did not do so and has re
fused to pay the pro rata assessed
against her. The suit is to have the
property sold by receiver, John I.
Harms already having been appoint
ed as such, and to collect the amount
due from Mrs. Irig as her share for
the drilling of the wells. This &C
count is what Special Master Neale
is to determine.

WE need a real Park. A Park for
the people. The projectors Of South
Park" are doing good thing in open
! ing residence territory for Morgan
town. but that will not give US what
we need, play ground for the people.
| If part OF aSouth Park can be
turned into pleasure ground it will
enhance the popularity and value of
the locality for all purposes, because
it will attract the whole population to
that side. Let us have real Park.
COOLING and refreshing Limeade--
at Madera's.
SPRUCE street will soon be what it
is destined to be-the residence street
of the town. Many elegant dwellings
are going up on that street, and bust
ness will never go there. Some of the
old stables are slow to get out of the
way, but they will have to yield to the
march of progress before long. The
owners of valuable lots on that street
will before long, see the mistake Of
allowing costly lots to be occupied by
cheap structures.
THE temperature of the foliage
trees never gets higher than about 54
degrees. When the streets and
ground are hot and tending to heat
| the air the trees of the town are COM
| ing to the rescue and the only thing
| that relieves the situation. The trees
are not only thing of beauty and
thus joy forever, but they are an in
estimable relief to the situation in
the warm season. Towns and cities
are cultivating trees more than ever
unless our own town be an exception.
A GREAT deal is being said about a
family quarrel in the Democratic par
ty of this county. The ambition OF
some members Of the family to take
on little more responsibility and a
little more work will not do any harm
to the family itself. We like to see a
little ambition and agitation of this
kind. 1t will show good results in
the general rounding up next fall.
The family is in pretty healthy con-
dition, thank you.
THIS is a good time In the history
OF Morgantown's growth to pay some
