future time be one of the prominen
cities of the state, and there are
good grounds for such bellet.
"A number of industries are al
ready located there and others wit
be shortly. Morgantown has moi
only taken a hustle on, but othel
towns out in the state are forging u
the front. Weston has organized 9
board of trade, with 100000
Buckhannon has secured one glass
house and after another, while
Cha, ksbure is making an effort tt
secure some of the industries neal
Morgantown on the line of the NJ
4 X. railroad, branch of the b. d
o., but so far have not met with any
| success.
"Plans are being prepared for an
immense cement plant which is to
be located at Morgantown, and
which, when completed, will employ

organized and the prospects of the
concern are very bright and promis-
ing. The plant is to be located in
the towns new industrial district on
the new street car line, and it is on.

started and the Pressed Prism Glass
company's plant will soon be real

country, and will have a capacity
greater than any other concern OF
IT'S kind in the United States Sew

whichmeans substantial increase To
the towns already growing popula-
ton. 1t has seventy-two patents.
An effort was made by the Mlssis
sippi Glass company TO force this
company out OF the business and
prohibit it from using the patents,
