A number OF big eastern railroads,
among them the New York Central,
the Pennsylvania and the Buffalo,

TO embark in the soft coal territory of
Southern Pennsylvania and Northern

scale, and it is reported that as much

This coal is to be shipped TO Brook

well as TO Lake ports and the matur-
ing of the plans and the inauguration
of work will mean added population
and very considerable increase in

beginning TO find out something about

when II was derided as q mere aggre-

tered amid our mountains, and yet
they are only the forerunner of that
larger development that is to come. =

Preston County Murderer not Caught
Funeral of His Victim.

TERRA Alta, W. Va, November
23.-J. Wesley Beatty, who shot
and killed David A. Nine, Tuesday
morning, is still at large, but well
laid plan will most probably result
in his capture tonight. The muir
derer's gun and shells were found in
the granary at his home this morn,
ing. The gun was wet inside and
out, presumably from the heavy rain
last night, and showed conclusively
that Beatty had been back to his
farm during the night. He did not
attempt to enter his home.
The funeral OF the victim occurred
this afternoon at what is known as
the Upper Church, on Salt Lick,

Number of People Living In The County
Is Given Ont ut ashington-Increase
of GLIB Per Cent. Over 1890 Popu-
iation of The Counties of The state
as Officially Announced.
The population of West Virginia by
counties has been announced This
county has population Of 19,049
The population OF the towns and
smaller cities of the state has not
been given out and will not be at this
time because it is desised to get the
counties footed up SO that the infor-
nation can be used by the state legis-
lature in arranging the congressional
districts.
In 1890 the population of Mononga-
liza was Is, 705. The increase is 3,3i4
or 21.3 per cent. The general increase
over the state Is 25.6 per cent. and
we are somewhat behind. 1t is
thought that when the towns aud
smaller districts are reported that it
will be found that the greatest in
crease came from the growth In Nor
gantown and Morgan district. Many
parts Of the county have even small
population than they had ten years
ago.
The comparison of the nearby coun-
ties with the population now and ten
years ago is interesting. In Marion
it has gone from 20, 721 to 49,, $50, in
Preston from 20, 355 to %, 727, in Har-
rison from Il, 919 to 81, $50, in Taylor
county from II, 147 to l4,978.
The total population of the state is
95S, 500 against 762, 1914 in 1890 In
1880 it was 51S, 457 an increase of %. 3
per cent. from 1880 to 1890.
This county is hardly as large as
most people imagine and the guesses
that have been made have In most
cases been badly off. Most people
though that it would go over twenty
thousand this time. The increase in
MorgantoWn is what fooled them in
reference to the rest of the county.
The population by counties follows:

The Revival Service.

The Methodist Episcopal church
was quite full of people last evening
when Rev. Mr.. Gee preached the
eleventh discourse of his Morgan
town sermons. Rev. Mr.. Ryan, of the
Church of the Disciples, made the
opening prayer. Mr.. Gee spoke from
the words of Elijah "How long halt
ye between two opinions?" He told
the story of Elijah's troubles with
King Ahab, the Kings efforts to
ruin the prophet, the prevalence of
idolatry, Elijah's challenge to, and
contest with the hundreds of Ahab's
priests at Carmel, the victorious
prayers of Elijah for the baptism of
fire and then for rain. He drew
many impressive and suggestive les
sons from the story adapted to the
surroundings of unconverted people.
In the song and prayer meeting that
followed the sermon one lady pro.
fessed conversion at the altar. The
whole service was intensely inter
esting. At 3p. m. he spoke to a
good sized congregation IN the lee
ture room. Two services will be
held to-day, and three on Sunday.
There VIII be none on Saturday
when the church apartments are
prepared for Sunday worship. DR..
Leech thinks the meetings have been
very helpful to the members of his
church, and that the interest and
success steadily increase. Every
body is welcome to the meetings.
Mr. Gee will remain in Morgantown
during next week.

The Abruptness of November.

The second cold wye of the season
developed the same peculiarit:es as
the first. In both cases the fall in
temperature here was preceded by
Summer temperature, which held its
sway up to the time that the APP
proach of the colder area was plain
ly outlined in the West Both this
and in the previous week the change
from warm to cold was made abrupt
lv and with the accompaniment of
violent winds, rising in some parts
Of the country to the degree of tor
nadoes.
At this season of the year cold
waves are to be expected in the reg
ular order of nature The abrupt
changes and bowling winds are,
however, features that can well be
spared. The human constitution can
stand good deal Of cold, If pre-
pared for it, but going ont in the
morning with the thermometer at 80
or go and coming home in the even
ing in temperature near the freez-
ing point is trying to all except the
most hardy. We are ready for this
Winters cold waves, but it is to be
hoped that they will form the habit
of coming more gradually.

A Morgantown woman is to be head
of the state lodge of Rebekahs for the
next year. Mrs. A. l.. Miller was Sc
lected by the committee on nomina-
tions and will be elected without OPP
position. The selection is great
compliment to her. She has been
prominent ia the order ever since she
joined it and has been a delegate TO
several grand lodges being well ac-
quainted in this manner with the
members of the order in general.
Fairmont is to the next place of
meeting. The following special in
reference to the grand lodges has been
received here:
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
has been in session most of the day,
but 1t has been engaged principally on
routine work of a secret nature. The
final session will be held morrow,
when the election OF officers will occur.
The Grand Lodge voted to-day to give
800 to the relief OF the Galveston

MORE TRAINS SUNDAY.
Baltimore & Ohio to Install Three Pas
sengers into the Rich Region.

On Sunday next the great coke
region in the vicinity of Uniontown.
in Fayette county, will have for the
first time railway passenger service.
on that day the Baltimore Il Ohio
road viii run its first passenger
train over its new Smithfield and
Masontown extension. The step
from no passenger railway commun-
ication to three trains daily each
way is an evolution rapid enough to
make the event one of the greatest
Importance. The first morning train
will leave Connellsvllle at 7 .37 and
reach Leckrone at 9:10 a. m. The
two other trains leave Pittsburg at
s. a. m. and II o'clock noon, and
will arrive at Leckrone at 1l.30 a.
IN. and 400 p. m. The trains from
Leckrone at 500 and 12:40 a. m.
and 80 p. m. are scheduled to ar
rive at Pittsburg at 1880, 4:45 and
1880 p. M. This really splendid
passenger service, together with the
facilities for hauling freight by the
Baltimore d. Ohio and the exten-
sions in this region of the Pennsyl-
vania southwest will prove a boon
and increase the output of coke 80
per cent.
The great iron and steel plants
hive developed the coal mines in
that locality and built coke ovens
everywhere. The American Steel
q Wire Company alone has three
large coal plants on its 5000 acres
in Fayette county and 1000 in Greene
county. From it's mines 5000 tons
of coal daily are shipped and from
its ovens at Edenborn and Lambert
| 900 tons of coke and also shipped
daily. At each of its plants, the
company has built about 500 houses
for it's workmen. The National Steel
Company and the Federal Steel Com
pany have also large plants there in
operation. With the railroad facili-
ties of these two great systems just
completed the Development of that
region will be phenomenally rapid.

SEVERELY BURNED.
Mr.. John Smith, n Pumper, Met with
a Serious accident.

Mr.. John Smith, of Metz, pumper
employed IN Stiles boiler house on
Gampbell's run, met with a deplorable
accident on Wednesday.
Shortly before noon the crown sheet
Of one Of the boilers blew Of, empty
ing the entire contents OF the big
boiler upon Mr.. Smith. The boiler
was carrying 10 pounds OF steam,
and Mr.. Smith, being unable to escape
from the boiler house, was compelled
to stand while the deluge of boiling
water and hot steam was poured upon
him. The unfortunate man had the
presence of mind to knock pane
Of glass from the window and thrust
his head through the opening. In
this position he remained until every
drop OF water had been drained from
the boiler la addition TO his burns,
Mr.. Smith sustained severe cuts on
the neck and right bard from the glass
in the window. 1t Il thought that he
will recover.

large and increasing circulation IS the
Drummer" for retail stores and for
many other enterprises. 1t goes out
to greatsbody Of the people daily,
with information that is to their in

II Is the principal thing that prevents
dizziness between business seasons
which afiiicts the wholesale dealers
from overwhelming the retailers.
When wholesale house lays off it's
drummers it's business languishes.
Tho same result follows when retail
establishment cuts down Its advertise
ing. When the Holiday season is APP

THANKSGIVING.
History of the Day we all Cele-
brate.

Early Days Set aside For Fasting aud
Prayer Special Obseryanees Grew
More General Finally Certain day
was Set aside and observance has BE-
come Universal.
Thanksgiving day is a religious
festival observed particularly In New
England, The occasional observance
OF a Thanksgiving day was not unus-
ual in Europe la elden days, and such
day was observed In Leyden, Hol-
land, October 8, 1876 the first ami
yersary of the deliverance of that citu
from siege.
The custom was brought into this
country by the Pilgrims who left Hol-
land in 1920 on the Mayfower. Az
ter the first harvest of the colonies at
Plymouth in 1921, Governor Bradford
sent four men out fowling that they
might after more special manner
rejoice together In July 623 a day
Of fasting and prayer was appointed
on account OF drought Rain came
while the colonists were praying and
the governor appointed a day OF
Thanksgiving, which was observed
with special religious services.
The Charleston records show SIM
liar change OF fast day into Thanks
giving in 1881, on account of the ar
rival OF supplies. The next day Gov
ernor Winthrop, OF the Massachusetts
Bay colony, recommended day of
Thanksgiving on account Of an action
OF the British priyy conneil favorable
to the colonies. The governor of Ply
mouth colony was invited TO Join In
this thanksgiving. About this time
the recommendation indicates that
Thanksgiving had become an annual
custom in the Massachusetts Bay col.
ony An annual Thanksgiving does
not appear TO have been observed in
the Plymouth colony until about 1890
Sometimes more than one day In the
year was appointed for Thanksgiving.
The earliest of these recommends
tioIs were at different seasons Of the
year and for special reasons, particu-
larly for the arrival OF ships with pro-
visions and new colonlsts; but the
later were more generally recommend
ed for the harvest and were held in
the fall of the year or early winter.
Occasional days of thanksgiving
were appointed by the Dutch Cover
nors OF New Netherlands in 1914 up
to 1864, and by the English Governors
of New York in 1855 and 1900
