WHERE do the robins go may soon
be displayed as the prize puzzle qnes-
ton as to where all the strangers go
who locate In Morgantown.
The little folks love DIR. Wood g
Norway Pine Syrup. Pleasant to take
perfectly harmless; positive cure for
coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma.
A GOOD deal of speculation is being
ndulged about the bearing Of recent
municipal elections on the national
election In 1904. But the results are
chiefly independent OF national issues.
STRAWBERRIES from market are be-
ing displayed by local dealers. They
are aItitudious in price and bum as TO
flavor. They are now too high to be
priced by newspaperman and so we
don't know how they are being sold.
MANY of the streets are almost
impossible on account of the mud.
The attention of the people who
have authority to look after this is
called to this fact which is patent to
every one else In town.
In short time millinery openings
for spring will have become history
and the bills which i ave been PIE
sented will have caused many re-
marks which should have been in
cludcd in profane history.
MRS. Mamie RoKE, OF MarlintOD,
who is nearing her seventy first birth
day, wove 900 yards Of rag carpet and
25 yards of linen since March /, 1902,
besides doing her regular houseworK
and nursing her son through six weeks
sickness OF typhoid fever.
THE completion of the paving of
Beechurst Avenue will be source Of
great qualification to the residents of
that section. The Avenue is very
important thorough fare and should
be completed by all means. The paw
ing of Chestnut Street should follow.
THE Prohibitionists are fighting the
dispensary law 10 Virginia. II Pro.
hibiton ever gets really enacted the
Prohibs will be out Of job, as they
fight every measure which has ten
dency even to solve the problem over
which they are wasting so much lung
power.
ALL over the country the diposi-s
tion to use only newspapers for adj
vertising purposes is becoming more
and more strong. Advertisers real
ize that news paper advertising is
the most effective and it is the
cheapest when results are consider
ed.
MosT of the local strawberry crop
will be a failure this year. The freeze
caught them when they were just
right to Pill. Mr.. Vandervort says
that he never had such prospect for
the berries as he did when the cold
spell came along. The stuff was then
off as far as the berries are concerned.
IT is stated tnst the road running
through here is to be double tracked
from Connellsville to Smithtield. This
system of improvement will eventu-
ally reach Morgantown. In the mean
time there are many improvements
which might be made in the local SER
vice without hurting the feelings Of
anyone.
NOBODY thinks that Yost has done
anything dishonorable to get players
10 come to Michigan to play football
That he has won his game every
where and never has weak spot on
his teams would seem to show how
ever that there has been some system
in which the teams have been built
up.
LOCAL concerns are being held
back by the slowness with which sid
ings and shipping facilities are given
them by the railroad company. 1t is
to the interest of the railroad to look
after shippers and especially people
who mean to do lots of business with
them but they seem slow to do any
thing.
PAYING Chestnut street is a step
in the right direction. Walnut
street should be paved. Other short
streets should receive attention and
the mud eliminated from every sec
ton of town where it is possible to
get rid of it. Before many years
the Town will be paved in every por
tion of it.
Gov. WHITE has appointed quite a
formidable delegation from this state
to attend the good roads convention
to be held at ST. Louis at the dedi-
cation of the Exposition, April 30th.
Many representative men from all
parts of the country will be present.
The good roads sentiment is taking
deep root, and will bring great results
IN the future.
BASE ball candidates are appearing
on the diamond out doors and before
very long the team will have rounded
into shape. Next Saturday is the
date set for The season to open. The
schedule for the season has not yet
been announced. The manager has
several open dates which he wants to
fill before he has the schedule pub
lished
Mrs. ETA HAss has entered suit
at Romney w. Va, for divorce from
William Hass who is eighty years
old and has been married four times
He is the oldest detendent ever
known in divorce suit in tins part
of the country Incompatihilit, Of
temper. The wife being much the
younger, is the cause of the present
suit
WHEN you think OF the Kingwood
council refusing to let the Morgan
town company put water works in, it
sounds very funny. The Morgantown
people had promised water works in
connection with the lot sale held over
there last fall. They didn't think
that they would pay, but intended to
put them in any way. The council
turned them down, so that they are
prevented from spending money to
make good their promise.
So FAR all efforts to get together
on the part of the striking painters
and their employers at Wheeling
have proven failures. In the mean
time there is great deal of work to
be done and this is beng given
the 90 by and the town is suffering
in consequence Of this fact. Wheel
ing bas been growing very rapidly
for the past few years but SHE can't
continue to grow unless lthe me-
chanics keep at work. 1t ought to
be easy to get together on some
basis.
