Julius X. Monroe OF this place
has been appointed and commits
stoned by Governor White as "En-
gineer on behalf of the State" to
take charge of the survey in accord
ance with Joint Resolution No.s2 Of
the acts Of the last Legislature rela-
ting TO the formation of the new
County of Augusta. Mr.. Monroe
was appointed Dec, "A and receiv-
ed his commission Christmas Day.
He is directed to take charge OF the
work as Chief Surveyor and with
the County Surveyor of Marion,
Wetzel and Monongalia counties
and Ira NJ. Franklin of Hundred
who represents Augusta county as
assistants aud field corps Of men
proceed to ascertain the exact area
in square miles of the counties above
named and make official maps and
blue prints of the same for filing in
the Court House of said counties
and with the Governor. In doing
this work it will be necessary to
survey clear around said counties
and establish boundary lines. This
will effect Preston county as the line
between us and Monongalia has
never been definitely established in
some places between Gainesville
and the Pennsylvania line and our
County Court which convenes in
regular session next Monday, should
at once take some action in re-
gard to the matter and authorize
and instruct our County Surveyor
to be party to the survey between
Preston and Monongalia and have
necessary markers erected along the
line. 1t is too good an opportunity
to be lost. Mr.. Monroe has already
communicated with the officials of
the counties concerned and is now
making ready to start the work.
He goes the coming week to con-
suit with the other counties and
map out line of procedure. The
expenses will mostly or all be paid
by the counties involved In the
Augusta affair. No better appoint
ment could have been made as Mr..
Monroe has bad charge of the
boundary line survey between this
State and Maryland on behalf of
West Virginia and is considered the
best surveyor in the state.

CHRISTMAS DINNER AT THE PENf.
TERTIARY.

An oyster dinner was the feature
of Christmas Day in the penitentary
and the 900 inmates toasted until
they could eat no more. Fifty i've
gallons of oysters, four barrels OF
crackers, 1000 bananas and 1000
mince pies were consumed by the
prisoners.
The oysters were stewed and one.
half pint of solid oysters was given
TO each convict. The milk and
butter, boiling hot was poured over
the cooked oysters as the men took
seats at the tables. In addition,
biscuits and syrup were given.
At the breakfast table the prison
ers received Christmas cards and
calendars and greetings from the
London Prison Association. The
men employed in the shops Of S.
Kraft, J. c. Bardall and Joseph
Klees' Sons, were remembered by
the contractors, who gave them a
bountiful treat of nuts and candy.
Many prisoners received Christmas
boxes from home and generously
shared the dainties with less fortu-
nate brothers.
In the forenoon an entertainment
was given in the chapel by some OF
the prisoners, assisted by the Eos
toria Glass Company Band. The
afternoon was spent in the cells,
men reading, smoking and convers-
ing with each other.

Smallpox seems to be abroad in
the land and epidemic in some
places. II is reported that there
are over thirty cases at Oakland
and Lock Lynn and several deaths
from the disease. II was reported
at Terra Alta but this seems to be a
mistake, but it is close there.
There is at least one case at Rowles-
burg and DIR. King, President OF
the County Board Of Health, was
called over there and quarantined
the house where they had it. Re
port also says there are seven cases
at Newburg. This time Of the year
seems is to be the worst time for II
and all cases should be promptly
treated and quarantined.

 President N. E. Turner of the Alabama headquarters at Vinegar Bend, arrived in the city this morning and was seen at his office in reference to the progress on the railroad. President Turner said:
 The iron bridge across Chickasaha riv- CT at Leakesville, Miss, has been com- pleted and the iron is being put down. This work will be completed by today a week. and the first throuad train to Leakesville, which will be the first to en- Bend tomorrow morning a week, arriving at Leakesville before the noon hour. The occasion will be made gala one as Pres ident Turner will take a special car on this train and have as company residents of Vinegar Bend and places along the line. This road which is being built by the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company, is stand ard guage and will be operated with pas senger and freight trains with regular schedules daily. With its dlrea connec- tion with the Mobile and Ohio at Vinegar Bend the people who heretofore along the road and at Leakesville, had no railway connection with the outside world. will find a difference as they will have easy access to Mobile as a trading centre, in- stead of having to depend on railway fa- cilities far away and long hauie trough the country. Already five miles of road bed have been completed beyond Leakes- vile towards Bond, Miss, on the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, and President Turner stated that the work was being rapidly pushed with large forces with a view of completing this extension. fl possible, before next January. From leakesville to Bond Is forty-five miles and the road will traverse a fine timber and farming country.
