THE town of Morgantown has a
right to feel good over the nice things
which are being said about US and
our recent progress. One thing that
makes US feel ali the more good about
it is that the congratulations are all
| deserved ones.
WRECKS and mishaps of every kind
are being reported from the railroads.

THE state board of health has been
coping with an epidemic of hydro
phobia prevalent among the animals
in Wyoming county and has taken
stringent methods assisted by the

near so serious as it was.
THERE has been lots of talk about
board of trade but no permanent
good has come from this talk as far
as tangible results are concerned
Those who would benefit most from
such an institution have been the
slowest to do anything. The bust

together and torn such board or
we shall lose much of the impetsu
which we have gained.
DURING the past few weeks the pa
pers have been devoting much at
tention to Morgantown and her
growth during the past year. We

keep US from feelingIgood over it. The
old town is now on the biggest boom
of any town in the state and will
pass lot Of them before very many
months.
