The clerks of town have formed a
union and are now ready to take
their places with the other union
workmen of town.
THE recital at Commencement
hall this evening will be well worth
your while to attend. Don't miss it
by any means.
MANY passengers have remarked
on the excellence of the service being
given on the buffet car ON the Wes-
ton train every evening. Before now
one had to get along with little or
nothing to eat in coming home from
Pittsburg in the evening.
AN exceptional treat will be at
forded to those who love music this
evening at Commencement hall.
John Porter Lawrence will give a
recital on the pipe organ. This is
one of the regular numbers on the
entertainment course which is I'M
der the auspices of the Y. M. c. A.
Mrs. L. M. DER1NG has moved
from her room on High street and
will open her store in the new Hotel
MADEIRA. Mrs S. S. Dusenberry has
rented the room which she has vaca-
ted and has opened a millinery store
in it.
Ii is now asserted by some that
the raise of wages which was recent
ly granted in the Fairmont fields
was given by the coal company in
order to head off any disposition to-
wards unionism which might be en-
tertained by the workmen. The op
orators do not want any union in
theirs. Several attempts to organ
ize the men in that section have
been failures.

THE recital at Commencement hall
this evening will be one of the events
OF the year in Morgantown.
THERE should be a tremendous
crowd in Commence ment hall this
evening for the recital. There will
be a great treat afforded to those who
love music.
MANY board walks are being laid
on the Peninsula and the people up
there are clamoring for more. They
have been getting improvements
quite fast during the past few
months but they need and will re-
ceive many more of them.
PEOPLE living in East Morgantown
want lights over there on the streets.
Several people have been severely hurt
by falls, which they have received
through no lights being given them.
They cannot see the bad places In the
streets after night.
IT would be good plan for you to
attend the series of revival meetings
now Ia progress at the M. E. church.
They will continue for some time and
, may be made the means of ACCOM-
plishing much good il you will give
them your earnest support.
MANY people are inclined to scoff at
the surveys made by the states and
national government. Yet the sur
vey in Ohio saved the Wabash $780,
600 by showing them that a tunnel to
cost that sum was not needed. This
is only one item 10 the long list OF
good done by the surveys.
Now the churches have begun adj
vertising. A sign is hanging in front
of one Of the churches in town "Re
yival Service Tonight, !" Advertising
pays no matter how it is done but the
town paper reaches more people In
better manner than any other medi-
um.
EVERY one in town feels that this
is TO be the best year that the town
has ever experienced. Lots OF those
who think so are planning how they
can add to this. You may have
something to do with it. The best
way In which you can help is by
building just as many houses as
you can get together.
A REPORT has been sent to the
state game warden about that quail
banquet in Wheeling which the law
yers shared and the matter will be in
vestigated. Somebody is going to
pay for those quail. II is against
the law to serve these birds out OF
season in the state no matter where
they have been killed, in the state or
out of it.

OF all the late popular books the
Virginian is taking the lead. The
Acme has sold nearly one hundred
copies In the last thirty days.
THE regular meeting of the Mer
chants Union will be held this even
ing. This is the monthly meeting.
1t is not thought that there will be
much business Of general interest to
be transacted.
To buy lots merely to hold them
for speculative purposes will do the
town no permanent good. What we
need is houses and they must be built
soon.
SOME snow has fallen recently
Unless there is going to be com
plete failure IN all signs there will
be much more snow during the com
ing months. We have not had a
great deal of it so far and need
plenty more of it.
THIS town needs houses and lots of
them. The new workers who want to
come here have no place to go. They
want to locate in Mergantown but
they can't stay here unless they have
some place to stay. This is tip
which if taken may mean much to the
future of the city. We must have
houses and plenty Of them.
1T will not be long until the Amer
lean Plate Glass Company of this
place will start to build its big plant
up the M. d K. They have just been
chartered by the Secretary of State
and are now about ready to start
building operations. They will be-
gin to make glass some time this
year with very large force of
hands. This is another big factor
which will soon be contributing to
our advancement alo1g every line
which makes a good town
A LETTER just received by State
Superintendent Miller at Charleston
is from Braxton COZ MY. The writer
states that he is school teacher in
thai county and that he has had
very vivid experience while in Brax
ton. The school house has been shot
full of holes and the people seem to
be wild and woody. They have got
ten down to some of the usages of
civilization since he struck there.
1t is probable that it the natives
find out who wrote this article they
will give him taste of high life on
a rail-
DR.. S. V. LEIGH has told
Charleston Mail man of a letter
which he has received from a per-
sonal friend in which the latter
states that he is hunting loca ion
for big glass factory. The Charles
ton people are going after the indus
try which they may land They
need something of the kind to keep
Charleston from standing still as it
has done for some years. No town
can prosper unless it gets busy and
takes in every thing which comes
its way.
