with Their Neighbors Sheriff Finds
Farmers want Good Roads and want
Them Quickiy-Jurors Drawn and
Battelle District Loses Out.
just now there is a lull in business
at the temple of justice of Mononga-
liza county. Farm ers are too busy
getting in their spring crops to
bring suit against their neighbors,
or get up petitions for new roads,
and are putting off ali the business
possible to be delayed till rainy
day, so they can come to town
again.
Nothing has occurred to disturb
the serenity in the prosecuting at
torney's Office recently, except the
oraer to express agents to refrain
from receiving liquor. beer etc for
shipment over the railroad from the
various breweries and liquor stores.
The prosecutor is very anxious to
see the recent law on this subject
enforced. Nothing exciting SENS to
be vet docketed for next term of
court.
Sheriff Core was out in Union dis
trict yesterday collecting. He says
there is great clamor among the ru-
raj population for better roads. Every
farmer be he ever SO busy, will stop
the pillow few minutes to talk over
good roads propositions. And they
all want the city of Morgantown to
carry the improvement or her streets
out TO the city limits to meet the inn
provement the county proposes to
make on the rural roads.
Tax collections have been rather
slack as compared with last year
Mr.. Core thinks It's not due to any
scarcity of money, but to the diSpo-
sition Of town people to hold on to
their money for investment long as
possible and the inability Of the far
mers TO get tn town over the misera-
bic roads. Now they are too busy to
come Mr.. Core and his assistant depu.
ty Mr.. DeMoss have both been kept at
home by sickness in their families.
Only four prisoners are now confln.
ed in the county jail.
Business in the county clerks Office
is having lull on account of the ex-
eeptonally fine weather for people to
work out doors Then it is not yet
quite time for the June crop of mar
riage licenses to be issued.
A special term of the county court
is called to meet next Thursday to
consider the application of the Fair
mont Morgantown ard Cheat River
Railway Company for franchise for
a road to be operated by electricity or
other power, from Arnettsvlle to the
Pennsylvania State line This is the
application which was made at the
last session of the court, before any
notice Of it had been given to the
public. 1t is fully expected that the
court will regrant the franchise grant
ed at that time.
The good roads powwow will be
held Saturday next as already an
nOunced.
Circuit Clerk, John Shriyer has been
indisposed for several days, but is bet
ter today. His Deputy Mr.. e. w.
Griffith has been assisting him in the
Office all this week.
