A BOARD OF TRADE
Organized For Kingwod Composed OF
Twenty fiys Business Men.

Now that real genuine develop
ment and spread of business enter
prise and sure and rapid growth is
on for Kingwood, not boom in
the ordinary use of the word, it be
comes necessary 10 have Board Of
Trade or Chamber of Commerce to
look after the public enterprises of
the the town and as inquiries are
already coming in addressed to the
Board of Trade, a public meeting
was called Monday night of this
week, signed by the Mayor and at
the ringing of the Court House bell
a good sized crowd gathered in
although it was very bad night,
dark, wet and muddy, but there were
probably $50 present. John b.
Ford the Mayor called the meeting
to order and was elected chairman
and James T. Daley the Recorder
was elected Secretary. Several
speeches were made by Hon. w.
G. Brown, P. J. Crogan, N. J..
Fortney, J. w. Flynn, and Mayor
Ford of this place and Attorney J..
L. Hatfield OF Morgantown and
Senator Ira Z. Robinson OF Grafton
who were present. On motion IL
was decided to elect a Board OF
Trade to be composed of IS mem
bers and that they be assessed SIo
each to raise fund for expenses to
start with. This will make a fund
of s7so and later on other arrange
ments will be made to raise more
money as may be needed. The
following members of the Board
were then selected-W. G.. Brown,
P. J. crogan, John B. Ford, James
W. Flynn, N. J. Fortney, James T.

was ordered that meeting Of the
above members be held in the Court
House tonight for the purpose Of
perfecting an organization and ap.
pointing committees TO get to work
at once. AZ the meeting Monday
night the purposed Water Works
franchise was read by the Secretary
to the crowd, in order that IL could
be thoroughly considered by the
people.

At Reedsville there were r3T Re.
publicans votes cast on Tuesday and
not single Democratic vote showed
up. What became Of the Demo
cratic commissioner and the poll
clerk not to mention the challenger
has not developed.
The above lie has been floating
around among our exchanges ever
since the election and we have
allowed it to 60 by just to see how
many papers would be green enough
to publish it. Any man who knows
enough to edit paper aught to
know that no election could be held
and no Republican votes cast unless
their we're Democratic officials there
to help hold the election, a commits
sioner and clerk anyhow. As a
matter Of fact there were "a good
solid Democratic votes cast at that
point and how the above lie got
started is more than we can tell.

There were several hundred peo-
pie present from different parts OF
the county and from other counties,
quite number being here from
Morgantown.
The rain in the afternoon knock
ed at least thousand dollars off
the sale but the Company proposed
TO let the lots go anyhow at any old
price to show the people that they
were in good faith and some lots
went for as low as S. and $40 dur
ing the rain that were located way
down under the hill.
The whole sale amounted TO over
81 900 so that the Company made
good investment anyhow. The
average was only about 500 per lot,
although some of them sold as high
as $3.50. The Company was very
well satisfied and every one else
seemed pleased over the affair.
Several have already sold their lots
at nice advance and others re-
fused to do so.

THE LOT SALE.
Last Saturday 1875 Lots were Sold In
Ab0at Two Hours for over 81, O0O

Kingwood had her first auction
OF lots last Saturday and il was
success in spite of the short notice
and lad weather. There was only
ten days notice given and being
new thing for the town it was feared
the time was too short to advertise
1t but the men in charge were afraid
to wait longer for fear OF bad wealth
er as winter is liable to set In any
time now. The day was disagree
able and threatening rain all morn
ing which no doubt kept away a
good many people. About noon it
began to rain and kept it up all the
afternoon. The sale began about
II O'Clock and lasted about an hour
before dinner ami about an hour
after dinner, ias lots being sold in
two hours time, an average of lot
a minute, which was swift work for
this old town. A big parade Of
carriages headed by the Kingwood
band went over from the main part
of the town, both before and after
dinner. The crowd was addressed
in front of the Court House in the
forenoon by Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss
and after dinner by Col. James c.
Frazier of Morgantown. Professor
Russell Morris and Attorney John
l.. Hatfield of Morgantown, we're
clerks for the auctioneer, Colonel
Cunningham of Pennsylvania, who
was the finest in his line that ever
struck this town and kept the clerks
and everybody else on the run to
keep up with him.
The Morgantown Real Estate
Company purchased the Shaffer
Knob of d. K. Jackson a month
ago for $4,000 and month before
that it could have been bought fol

laid off into 1853 lots. They only
advertised IS but sold Ia5 leaving
three to give away to lncky pur'
chasers of other lots who may draw
them, and have as lots left to hold
for themselves to speculate on.
They reserved two fine lots RICH,
on the top of the Knob for hote

WATER WORKS
For KIngwoed--A Company Organized
And Asking q Franchise.

Things are coming our way with
rush nov and Kingwood will soon
be putting on metropolitan airs. A
Company has been organized to put
in water works and perhaps gas
either natural or artificial. The
latter part of the business is un-
certain as yet but the water works
are expected to be in full operation
inside of years time. The Com.
pany is composed of Morgantown
business men who have faith in our
town and its future and propose to
put IN first class system that viii.
be good enough and large enough to
last the town for the next as years
anyhow. They ask for a franchise
for that length of time and bind
themselves to begin operations in
side Of eight months from the grant
ing of the franchise. That may
seem little long, but when it is
considered that winter is just COM
ing on and material and supplies for
that kind of business are very hard
to get and takes considerable time
after contracts are made IL is perhaps
about as good as can be done. On
last Friday night Hon. George c.
Sturgiss, Attorney John L. Hatfield
and others from Morgantown went
before the Town Council and SUBJ
mitted a proposition for franchise
and asked that thirty days notice be
given in both the papers here so
that any and all citizens can have
full opportunity to examine and In
vestigate and fully discuss the pro-
posed franchise before the Council
acts on it. Then when the Council
is ready to take up the matter. some
member Of the Company will be
here to explain and meet all objec-
tons or differences that may arise.
A typewriter copy of the pro-
position is now filed in the Office oil
the Town Recorder for the inspec-
ton and examination of any citizen
who may be interested in the matter
and anyone who wants to read i,
can call at the Office of James T.
DALEY and do so. These gentlemen
seem to be very fair and honest in
the matter and in good faith and dc
not ask for an exclusive franchise a,
all but are perfectly willing to meet
all competition. They had compe.
tent civil engineer and contractor
here looking over the ground and
he says there Is no trouble at all
about pumping wafer from Chea,
river and giving us the best water oil
any town in the county. The lack
of water has retarded the growth
and development Of the town more
than any other one thing and besides
the fire insurance rate here is almost
out of reach and would be Gu,
down one half il we had water
works.

The score or more of applicants
for the fat plum that has been gather
ed in for some time by Gen. Holly,
are now very sore because this juicy
fruit went to dark horse. who had
never been under suspicion In con-
nection with the matter. The Sup
rene Court had quite time over
the matter when Gen. Holly the
Democratic clerk who had held the
office so long, resigned recently.
They ballotted on a successor r3I
times before they could elect any
one and finally had to compromise
on man who was not a candidate
for this place.

There seems TO be no doubt but
what mistake was made when
Congress listened to a lot of we'll
meaning people who did not know
what they were talking about, when
they were clamoring for the abolish
ing OF the Army canteen. IL was
abolished by an act of Congress and
that law has had full and fair trial
and all the army officials who have
reported on the subject agree that it
was great mistake and has caused
lots more drunknsss, desertion, court
martial disorderly conduct and trou-
bic senrally than when they had the
canteen under the control Of the
officers. Now it is operated by
speakeasy proprietors and tough
joints generally that cannot be
controlled or regulated. The scrip
ture says "of evils, choose the less,
which seems to apply to this case.

The man who was considered the
strongest candidate for the Office OF
Clerk Of the Supreme Court of the
State. was William E. Glasscock OF
