UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.
AngoIa Goats Being Reared in
this County.


Cheat River selected as the Locatfeu
for the Farm--Several score Of goats
Brought up-Animals Raised for
Both wool and as rorest Destroye rs.
An experiment is being made on
Cheat river which is being closely
watched BY great many people.
This is that relating to the raising of
Angora goats by Chess Brothers who
have heavy interests In that part OF
the county.
They have $50 head OF goats quar-
tered on Cheat. These were recently
taken through town where they at
tracted much attention by their
beauty and the peculiar ground by
reason of which they had been
brought here.
AS Is well known the goats are
great foragers. They clean the ground
Of filth of every kind in the shape of
vines, bushes and small trees. They
will strip the bark from a bush and
leave it to die.
Morning glories and swamp peas
which have been very hard to get rid
Of are eaten readily and the animals
even dig into the ground TO get the
roots. 1t Is for this as we'll as for
other reasons that the experiment is
being made Of trying to raise them
here.
The wool OF the animals is very
valuable and commands ready mar
ket. Their flesh is also highly priced
and 10 demand. They cost very little
TO raise and it is thought that there
will be handsome profit connected
with the venture OF Chess Brothers.
Several hundred acres have been
fenced of and the animals placed In
the enclosure. 1t is a hard matter to
keep them 10 it as they can climb out
over any kind OF fence or go through
the cracks unless these are very mar
row.
The same breed OF goats are being
raised In Fayette county and from
present indication the experiment is a
great success down there. Some of
the goats have escaped to the forests
rnd 10 few years we may be hunting
goats instead Of deer as at present.
The little animals seem in every way
equipped to take care of themselves.

PIER cRACAED.

Sunnyside Pier is giving way ON Ac
count Of Weight Of Dirt Behind 1t.
Another complication in the Fal
ling Run bridge matter has come to
light. 1t lie stated that the pier on
the north or Sunnyside side oft ia
cracking badly and is liable to fall
down before the winter is over.
This is caused by the great weigh
of the fill which has been made be-
hind 1t. The bridge in front is not
there to hold it solid and the stonee
are being moved from their founda-
ton. This II true will cost the
court pretty penny to repair.

ACCEPTED CALL.
Rev. ]. W. Francis Will Locate in
Parkersburg- Given Warm Welcome.

Parkersburg- Given Warm Welcome.
Rev. j. W. Francis, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church at
Evanston, Illinois, has accepted the
call extended to him by the Presby-
terian church of this city, and will
probably arrive here TO take charge
of his new passionate, about the first
of the new year says the State
journal
A letter was received here this
morning by Judge S. T. Stapleron,
from Rev. Mr.. Francis, notifying the
church through him, that the call
had been accepted and that the
Evanston church had been given its
pastors resignation. As soon as
the Chicago Prasbytery can act on
the matter, releasing Rev. Mr.. Fan
els from his charge at Evanston,
Illinois, he will give up his work
there and come here.
The new pastor is a West Virgin
ian and graduate of the State
University at Morgantown and that
fact alone will endear him to the
congregation of the Presbyterian
church in this city. His wife and
child will arrive at the same time,
about January the first, and the
parsonage will be ready for them.
Parkersburg extends cordial wei
come to Rev. Mr.. Francis and fani
ly, not simply because they are to
become residents of this city but
because of the West Virginia hood
that is bound to make itself felt, no
matter where the location.

TIME CARD EXCHANGES.

The N. and X. is now Running Under
New Schedule-Train Running
Every Day.
A new schedule has been put into
effect on the M. q X. railroad. I'm
der it there are very few changes in
the running of trains which arrive
and depart at Morgantown at the
same hours as formerly. There is
one important betterment however
which has been put into effect. This
is that trains now run every day in
stead of three times a week. 1t is
the intention of the management to
give the public the best possible
service. Their patronage hardly
justifies them in making this change
but they hope by it TO create new
traffic.

The Royal Month and the Royal
Disease.

Sudden changes Of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con
sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur
ing anorma1 October is commonly great.
We never think Of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily substance-without thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine IN the world
There is probable not city or town
where Hoods Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit in more homes than one, in
arresting and completely eradicating
scrofula, which is almost 4 serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.
