streets as fast as they can be.
II may be that Lawrence Cox who

cavate and grade for the Fourth
ward school building. He got the
contract to do this work some time
ago and will push it to completion.
The contract for the building has
not yet been let. This will be done

THE Warrington Record thinks
that the good roads scheme which has
been started In this county is merely
a precaution to kill Augusta county
before the next legislature. The pa
per is mistaken but Battele district
would probably feels less like going
away from us with good roads that it
feels now.
THE theatre to be erected here will
be as fine as any ID town of this size
in the country. 1t will seat fifteen
hundred people at least and probably
more. The building itself will cost
about fifty thousand dollars. 1t will
be large enough to stage any propuc-
tion which comes to- Pittsburg. The
stage will be sixty feet wide.
A REPORT has been in circulation
that Sol. Frum expected to leave the

this county. In fact we couldn't get
along without him.

tofore but they will be under one
management.
THERE is no reason why patrons Of
the express company should not have
packages delivered to any point 10 the
city. A petition asking that the de-
livery be extended to other parts of
the city than those now reached is in
circulation. 1t is expected that some
thing will be done to meet the COM
plant which is just and well found
ed one,
MANY of the trees OF town must
lose branches to make room for the
wires for the trolley line. There
ought to be some steps taken to pro-
tect the trees from further ravages.
The poles are unsightly enough and
and when it comes to matter of cut
ting down trees to make way for them
there ought to be lively howl and no
doubt there will be some scrapping.
IT is the expectancy that Company
Il will begin to drill twice week,<a
Ter the next meeting This is made
necessary by the fact that the COM
pany is to be inspected soon by reg
ular army officer and it is thoughtbest
to get into shape where good rec
ord will be made. Krags are to be is
sued to the companies making the best
showing.
