GETTING READY


Influx Of Population has Brought
Mnch New Business-Freight con.
gestfen Adds to Burden Of work
stores Take ~ Holiday Air and
Everythingl points to Prosperous
Reason.
The approach of the holidays is
having the effect 80 much desired
by business men in general.
Christmas shopping has begun,
and all advertisers are referring to
their holiday stock in their lads. -
The show windows on all the princi-
pal streets have much brighter APP
pearance than they have had. In
some establishments all the expen-
sive and np.to date garments for
both men and women's wear. are be-
ing brought out and in others toys
take up the place used by other ar
ticles until this week.
Many new and novel trinkets for
Christmas gifts are on exhibition
and the sales promise to be large.
New books are meeting With rapid
sale and women's cloaks and coats
are in great demand.
On every hand can be seen evi
dences of the reason. Express bust
ness on the railroad is beginning to
get unusually heavy, and mail mat
ter 10 more extensive than for a
year. The local postofiice force has
begun to experience long hours of
ceaseiess work and the members ex
pect II to continue uatii tue da,
after Christmas.
Large but belated shipments OF
merchandise, principally from cas-
tern points, are arriving daily, and
the local merchants and their EN-
ployes are kept busy unpacking and
getting their wares ON exhibition.
1t is expected that the failure of the
railroads to handle the shipments
in good time will require an extra
amount of work when they do arrive
perhaps week or tive later than
they were expected.
Merchants are looking forward to
an extraordinary heavy business
during the remainder of this month,
and are making extensive prepare
tions for the accommodation of the
increasing trade. The growth in
the population of the city during
the last year is the cause of the ex
pectations in this direction. As
may be observed, Morgantown has
several thousand more residents
than it had this time last year, and
not few of them are from northern
points, the majority being from
Pennsylvania. Among these are
hundreds OF workmen who command
high wages, and the expenditures
they will make during the holidays
will be little short of extravaganza.
Until the FIRST of this week local
business men complained that bust
ness was kept quiet BY the condi
tions of the weather. The tempera-
ture did not get very low and the
rains and SHOWS that are usually
experienced at this season, have been
long in c. ming, but now the weather
has all those features which make
the merchant glad. Shoe and cloth
ing establishments are doing rush
ing business now. making the heavy
sales that are usually made early in
the fall.
