Beats the Mail Order Houses.

A general store man ia small IL
linois town has found a simple cure
for the 'smail order" habit His Gus
toners were rapidly abandoning him
and ordering goods from the large city
houses. For awhile he was tolerant,
assuring himself that there. was room
for all, and that he could still count
on certain percentage of trade in his
locality When it became apparent
that people were ordering bars of soap
and boxes by mail the general store
man began to look for remedy. He
found 1t 1T counter attraction. Ev-
cry week he runs column Of deadly
parallel" prices in his local newspaper,
quoting the mail order prices on one
side and his figures on the other He
flnds that he can easily compete with
his big rivals on most articles, and has
succeeded in repairing his broken
fences by showing people that things
can be bought cheaply right at home.
Once convince your public and they
willingly trade with you.

Teacher Spoke A Swear Word.

KINGwooD, w. Va, December Is.
A very peculiar question has come
up in Reno district, Preston county.
In district No. 5, Boss Leonard a
young man holding third grade
certificate, was employed to teach
the school, and after teaching one
month and four days was fired He
experienced considerable trouble
with the big girls from the start and
sent number of them home This
angered the trustees, who began at
once to watch Leonard very closely
to find some excnse for Diminishing
him. The excuse was found one day
this week, when in the presence of
one of the trustees the word s'dam"
was pronounced to a spelling class.
The trustee reprimanded Leonard
for pronouncing swear words and
called a meeting OF the trustees to
discharge Leonard, which was done
without ceremony He will carry
the matter to the higher courts.

George w. L. Mayors Passes away af-
ter Brief Illness.

FAIRMoNr. w. Va, December Is.
George w. l.. Mayors IL dead. He

the State as any one who resides with
in it. About one week ago he con-
tracted severe cold and never recov-
cred. He was man OF fine personal

pleasing address. He was reliable re-
sponsble and OF thorough integrity
and unquestioned honor.

The deceased was reared In his native
county, where he received his educa-
tion and learned the carpenter trade,
which he followed for eight years, ar
ter which he entered the employ OF the
b. 4 O. Railroad Company as bridge
builder, erecting bridges in the states
Of Virginia, Ohio and West Virginia.
He followed this business for quite
while and then embarked In the con-
tracing business for himself and
removed TO this place In 1860.
He erected some handsome buildings
In this city and many others through
out the state, the court house at Nor
gantown for az illustration. Decem-
Der III, 1860, he married Mary e.

union eleven children were born, four

River Notes.

As soon as repairs on her are COM
pleted the Edgar Cherry will take the
place of the Admiral Dewey in the
Mason Line.
The veteran Captain M. A. Cox, has
retired from the command OF the
Adam Jacobs for the winter and is
putting in the time very pleasantly
at his home in Brownsville. 1t is not
likely that Captain Cox, who has al
most reached his four score, will do
much more steamboating. Nearly all
who were active on the river when he
first commenced boating have passed
over the silent river. A few still re-
main, including Captain Doyle Bugher
and Captain j. L. Hendrickson. Both
are residents of Brownsville. Captain
Cox has been in active service on the
river for over 80 years connected with
the old Pittsburg, Brownsville & Nor
gantown Packet line.

Prevents Immediate.Action.

The trial of j. w. Beatty who
shot and instantly killed his broth
er-in-law, David Nine, was to have

SPAN TOO SHORT.
Cheat River Bridge Builders
Make Discovery.

When the River Pier Is Reached it is
Found that the Span is teo Short by a
Foot and Half-Span Will have TO
be Taken apart and Rebuilt Money
and Time Lost.
There is trouble on hand for the
Cheat river bridge. 1t has been put
in place and the span at this end has
been found TO be too short. 1t does
not reach the place prepared for it on
the pier out in the river by eighteen
inches. Now eighteen inches is not a
very big distance but when 1t comes
to a place where exacsness is required
it is tremendous affair.
This discovery has just been made.
The work OF constructing the bridge
started from the abutment on this
side and was taken out to the pier in
the river. Then it was found that by
some means there had been mistake
made and the bridge would not reach.
Mr. Printz the superintendent was
in town on Monday afternoon and
stated that it would be remedled at
once. 1t would cost them about
Thousand dollars to do this and it
would take ten days providing there
was nothing to interfere with them
while they were doing SO.
The bridge will have to be taken
apart section at a time and it will
then be built out from the pier to the
bank false work being placed under it
to hold it in position. When this
bank is reached the a5utment will
have to be rebuilt out further so that
it will fit the span. This is a small
ahutment and the work will not take
very long to attend to. 1t had been
hoped TO have the bridge open for
travel by the fist of the year but this
hope has been found to be a vain one
by this discovery.
In case a rise in the river should
come while they are working on the
change it would prove very embarrass-
ing if not very costly to the company
as it would be liable to take out the
false work and the bridge itself if it
came very high as Cheat has q habit
of doing

plated, for a continuous line from
Pittsburg 10 Cannellsyille aud Union
town, in the coke regions. Is about Ia
be carried out, it is said Active
work of connecting up the links al.
ready built in the great system will
begin, IL is said, just as soon as few
minor details encountered In the
merging OF d dozen small companies
into the great corporation could be &C
compiished. It is thought that by
the middle OF next week the last of
the small companies will have been
absorbed and the Pittshurg, Mckees-
port and Connellsville Traction com.
pany, as the news concern will be
known, will be formally declared In
existence
The new company has capitaliza-
tion of SO, 500, 900 and Will be bonded
for 50, 900, 900. Already several con-
tracts are ready TO be let, IL is said,
and construction work on the miles of
new road necessary TO connect up the
towns win begin early in the new
year.
The last difficulty TO be overcome
was the merging into the new COM
pany OF the Mckeesport and Youghi-
ogheny Traction company, and 1t is
reported that within week this deal
will be formally closed. The road
will be lis miles in length, Of which
more than 40 miles are now built.
The entrance into the city is still
matter OF speculation. The line will
follow the Monongahela Traction road
from Pittsburg 10 Mckeespert. In
the Connellsville region the following
towns will be connected up: Fair
chance, Uniontown, Masontown, Dun
bar, Connellsville, ScottdaIe and Mt.
Pleasant. The line would have To be
built from West Newton along the
Youghiogheny TO McKeesport and 1t
is said work on this connecting link
Will be begun early in the spring.
The power plant according TO present
plans, will be located midway along
the route.
The chief engineer on the proposed
route is w. b. Chapman, of PhiladeI-
phia.

ABLE NAN DEAD.
Hon. R. W. Morrow, of jefferson
Counts Died Suddenly from Pneumo-

NNuAtS btcV kraadSht1 sAuHA thNobAo-
mia.
The following special from Charles
Town was received this morning:
Hon. +. w. Morrow, editor OF the
Farmers Advocate and member of
the Legislature from Jefferson coun-
ty, died this morning at his home in
this place, after an illness of three
days of acute pneumonia, aged AZ
years. The deceased was one of the
most prominent Democrats in this
section of the State. He purchased
the West Virginia Democrat about
ten years ago, and when he com
menced editing it changed it to the
Farmers Advocate. Mr.. Morrow
represented the Seventh delegate
district in the Legislature in 1896,
and was elected to a second term
from Jefferson county this year. He
is survived by widow, who was
Miss Walton and five small children
Two married sisters reside in the
West.
The death of Mr. Morrow is heard
with genuine regret in Morgantown.
1t is a heavy loss to the editorial
fraternity as well as to the state
which he served acceptably in the
last legislature and which he would
have served again this Winter had
he lived. The death being entirely
unexpected makes it more of shock
to his friends who are scattered all
over the state.
