CUTE SCHEME.
Naming Streets for Rich Men-Fair-
months up to Date In this Respect.

Fairmont City Council changed
the name of one of their streets from
Watson and Gay to Elkins street.
The people in that section of the
Mountain City town say that II Sen
ator Elkins wants to pave the street,
they will have no objection.
Fairmont is up to-date in The mat
ter of naming streets for rich men.
Some time ago she named one for
James M. Guffey the rich oil opera
tor of Pittsburg. who has given one
pipe organ to Morgantown and paid
half the cost of another. Recently
this street was paved, aud Mr.. Gut
fey promptly paid the bill. II Mr..
Elkins should do likewise, probably
Fairmont will soon adopt the names
of all the millionaries in the coun-
try.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Will be Refused to Communities Where
Roads are Bad.

II report be true, the Postmaster
General is soon to be asked to consider
pretty promising plan for the better
ment of the highways of this country,
submitted to the superintendent Of
the free delivery system by citizen
of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Joseph W.
Brown. 1t is based upon the fact
that only one serious obstacle stands
in the way of developing the free de-
livery service, namely, the present
condition OF our country roads.
Mr.. Browns idea is that If a GER
tain road is reported as practically
impossible for the carriers, the high
way authorities of the town wherein
it is found are to have reasonable
length of time within which to repair
1t, and the penalty of their failure so
to do is to be the cessation OF free de-
livery In that locally.

EARLY SHOPPING.
1t Is Better for Merchants as Well as
Buyers.

The people of Morgantown have
every facility for knowing just where
they can find holiday goods In what
ever line they may desire TO invest.
The more enterprising Merchants all
make their announcements in the
NEW DOMINION and tell just what
they have and what they can do The
stores are stocked full and fine displays
may be seen on all hands.
Merchants are DESTROYS that shop
pers should do their buying early.
When delayed until the last minute
one is not as likely to get what he
wants or the attention the merchant
desires to give him. Early buying
will be far more satisfactory to both
customer and merchant. 1t is to be
hoped that people will make a note Of
this and act accordingly.

CLOTHING HOUSE FAILS.
Baltimore Bargain House in
Financial Straits.

llhul1bleS over 3ZDsUUU-ASsctSs
Probably s12, 900 to SIS, OOO-Cred-
itors Number More Than One Hun
dred-Geo. G. Baker, Assignee.
The Baltimore Bargain House,
which has been doing business in
the sale of clothing and mems fur
nishing goods here for the past few
years on Main street in the old
Miller building now owned by Geo.
G. Baker, yesterday made an as
signment tor the benefit of their
creditors
Geo. G. Baker is the assignee.
The liabilities are between $4,000
and $4,000, while the assets will
probably not reach more than $l5,
600.
The assignee has notified the cred
itors SO far as known, of the failure
of the house, and given list of those
to whom the store is indebted. Any
creditor to whom is due more than
$500, and there are several of these
can demand settlement in Bank
ruptcy court. As all the creditors
are on an even footing, there being
no priorities of claims, an attempt
will be made to settle with creditors
outside the courts.
The assets would pay probably
80 to 40 coents on the dollar of in
debtness. The creditors number
more than hundred, and the sums
due them range from $3.50 to 81
263.50.
j. G. Frazer and Edgar Stewart rep
resenting creditors Of the firm have
gone to Fairmont to appear before
Judge Mason and obtain the appoint
ment of a receiver by the court. They
have not yet returned as this paper
goes to press.
The store has been locked up and
will so remain till the creditors are
satisfied.
Mr.. j. P Wolf Is mana ger of the
Baltimore Bargain House which has
been doing a retail clothing business
here for several years. 1t appears
that there were several claims PRESS
ing that he could not meet and he
was forced to assign for the benefit OF
all.

Grandstand of the World.
Washington Observer.


Prof. Armstrong was right when he

newspaper has of obtaining the news
makes 1T in any community power.
When the days work is done, when
the business interests have been clos
ed up and all the important events
have transpired they are gathered to-
gether by the reporters and cores
pondents and given to the people. IL

We're transporting and before another
event has happened they are known
In the homes OF the people. Great is

Willis Robinson this young man who
is serving out a six months sentence
for breaking into Hare's store at

Better Facilities for Unloading
Freight.

When the town makes the much
needed fill next to the railroad in irst
ward and puts in few yards of sew
er, there will be sizing enough ac-
cessible to teams to admit Of unload
ing TO ur times as many cars at one
time as could formerly be reached by
wagons
The improved facilities are very
much needed and will be greatly ap-
preciated by the business public. The
B. & o. railroad has been at the ex-
pense Of opening up most OF the road
way TO give access to the siding.
When completed it will extend all the
way from above Tenants mill to
First ward planning mill.
