| SPRrSe begins on the 81 of March
according to the almanac but the
nice weather we have received up to
this time looks very much like
spring to as.
SUNDAY was beautiful spring
day and thousands OF people took
walks Many Of them went up to
look at the new bridge at the Uni
versity.
MEMBERS Of the Salvation Army
at Uniontown are preparing to build
a 10000 building. 1t will be used
as headquarters for all the work in
this section. j. X. Ewing donated
the lot on which the building is to
be erected.
A RECEPTION to be given by the
teaching force of the Public Schools
to the School Board and the public
is being talked about. The date for
this has not been selected nor have
the invitations been sent out. 1t
may be that the affair will be held
this week.
IT is now claimed: that Gov. White
Is waiting to hear from the people be-
fore he calls for an extra session of the
legislature to consider the tax COM
mission bills. In case these bills or
some like them do not pass there is
going to be no uncertain sound from
the people about the matter
AFTER April LIST the basement Of
the Carlow building will be occupied
by the Acme's athletic department.
1t is now Icing plastered, ceiled and
cemented, and will be commodisus
room. An extensive stock OF base
ball and other athletic goods will be
carried, and also stock OF Crescent
and Rant bier Bicycles. Scott Swisher
will have charge OF the department.
HICKS says that March will be mild
until the latter part Of the month
when a blizzard may be expected to
strike this section Of the country. He
has hit 1t rather well SO far this
month, but everyone wishes that he
will score miss for the rest OF the
time.
TEARING out the old Mackey Mil
let down lot OF sand. This settled
Ia the mouth or Deckers creek and
stuck up above low water. The re-
cent rise in the river took out lot OF
it but there Is lot of it left yet.
This sand would come in mighty
handy for building purposes.
THERE is a plan on loot to widen
the pavement on High street and
make the sidewalks narrower. This
should be opposed by every one.
The street is plenty wide but the
sidewalks can never he too wide.
More people use the sidewalks than
use the street any way.
THE matter OF repairing the South
Mnrgantown bridge has been placed
10 the hands OF the county court by
the M. & K. railroad company which
is to pay for the damage which they
did last summer. They requested the
court to have it fixed and to send the
bill to them. This the court will do
before very long.
THE mine operators of the New
river district have been invited to at
tend the meeting Of the miners which
takes place in Huntington on the
23rd of this month but they sta tie
that they do not intend to be present.
They say that they know what it
means II they 60 and that is they
must face demand to recognize the
union. This they state they never
expect to do IL it means the closing
down of every mine on the river.
THESE items are from the Fair
mont Times. They are republished
because they are comments on local
affairs:
After the streets of Morgantown
have been torn up for several months
the teamsters forced to drive through
alleys and pedestrians have climbed
over brick piles to reach their shop
ping places aud homes. the people
of that town will not be blowing SO
consumed much about the little
street car line that is being built
down there.
According to recent official state
ment made by the West Virginia
University bride has been pur
chased by the institution and the
question come to mind as TO who
this useful bit of harness was pur
chased for. Now that most OF the
Dear Jerome type has been welded
out it would be supposed that the
faculty is composed of men who
will stand without hitching.
Perhaps the bride is of the kind
used on calves that which |
has nails protruding from the straps
over the nose and it was bought for
fractions students.
