induced to come here. There is room
for plenty more. They make things
good in and about Morgantown.
THE process OF paving along the
street car tracks on Front street is a
slow one but the men are doing the
best they can. The track is going
down very slowly.
ONE thing we need is more paved
streets. II the brick taken up by the
trolley company can be used to pave
more streets this will be greatly ap.
preciated by the public.
GARDEN planting can't be delayed
much longer If the weather keeps as
nice as it has been. But the chances
are that we shall receive some nasty
squalls before the summer really
opens.

will have much better time with
them.
MUCH Of the stone to be used in the
Walnut street bridge to Greenmont
is on the ground and it will begin to
90 In place in few days. This bridge
will be greatly appreciated by the
public. Greenmont will be helped a
great deal by it.
LAYING the floor In the Falling
Run bridge is long and tedius job.
Some days not over dozen boards are
received at the bridge and this does
not advance The completion Of the
floor very much 1t is claimed that
there Is better time coming.
WITH the completion of some mod.
ern buildings for stores and offices II
Morgantown, the shacks that have
been used by some people will have tt
take back seat. The public will moi
pay exorbitant prices for stuff that IL
not desirable when they can get some
thing better.
FISH are biting and some fine strings
have been brought in by the local
