SOME IMPROVEMENT NOTES
sIsTERsvILLE, w. VA.
State Bank-Incorporated 1891.

Robert Miller Of Pittsburg, is
in the city today on business. He
informs us they hope to be man.
ufacturing steel at Paden City by
the first of January. He says
there will be no lot sale this year
if any person wants to buy lot
they can, but there will be no
boom lot sale. After the steel
plant and other manufacturing
plants are running and the com
pany can show the people some
thing tangible, then there will be
a lot sale and not before. We
hope also to say in a few days
that Mr.. Miller has taken up the
matter of building an electric
railroad from this city to Mid

dlebourne. This project, like
Paden City, has been talked to
death but it takes talk to get a
railroad, and there is nothing
that succeeds like being at it ev-
erlastingly.
We cannot say any further on
this subject just now, but the
outlook for a road is very good.
We can get get this road if our
people will take the interest in it
they should do. The road means
more to our city than any i'm
prOvement we can think of. 1t is
a project every man here and in
the county can well afford to
work for and keep on digging at
the project until we get the cars
running.

Dut we go on, Young lOr tne parry
man if it kills us. In plain words
we have not as much sense as our
country neighbor has. We pre-
sumo our politics will be high
enough this fall to vote our party
ticket straight. We will vote for
Dawson, for Hill and the Repub-
lican ticket simply because we.
have no more sense of self-prOtec-
ton. We will vote for R. a.
Martin for County Commissioner
simply because he will be on the
Republican ticket, yet he would
no more vote for an Improvement
here than we would for crazy
George Shuman for President.
We need blame no one. It's our
own silly voting. Sistersville
ought to be represented in the
County Court, but away we 90
voting the party ticket when we
know it means death to the pro-
gressiveness Of our city. If we
oppose it we are set aside as wild
and woolly Democrats, but it's a
mistake. We vote for what we
honestly believe is to the interest
of our city and county. If all
the people of Sistersville will do
likewise we will soon have a
great change in county matters.
But we propose to keep on
pounding away until we get a
change. We have a Democratic
County Court. We voted for two
of it's members. May the Lord
forgive us. We will not do so
any more. J. NJ. Peoples nOmi-
mated by the Democrats, will not
be a candidate. We are not for
r. A. Martin-we would just as
soon vote for the Star editor; but
we are for any man who will
treat us fair and equal with the
other sections Of the county. All
we ask is fair and equal treat
ment. We do not want it all
here. nor even half, but we want
only fair consideration. But, why
argue? Martin will be elected
this fall. Our people will vote
for him and he would not spend a
dollar to help us if we were drown
ing. He was a resident of Mid
dlebourne too long to vote to aid
Sistersville. But in spite of all
our fooliShness Sistersville is 60
ing to grow spread out and bios
som like the proverbial Green
Bay tree. Maybe we will have
more sense after while. But now
we vote as the bosses tell us.
They own us body and soul. We
are all guilty alike, but we are
hoping we will get more self-pro-
lection sense later on.
Aside from directly losing so
much the Republican bosses of
this district will laugh in their
sleeves at our foolishness. They
crack the party whip, we respond,
they grin, and then when the cleo
tion is over we will kick ourselves
for being such darn fools.
And we are. We confess guilty.
We voted for Riggs and Sweeney.
We thought they were all right,
and we thought so honestly: but
we confess we were mistaken :;
they are good men-mean to be
honest and true-but, in our
judgment they are miserable fail
ures. Do you want good roads In
Sistersville? Do you want fair
and square treatment in county
matters? Do you want our home
people to be treated as you would
your neighbor? If you do, don t
vote for Martin: but who you will
vote for we don't know. Nomi-
nate a good square Sistersville
man and we will vote for him; ;
we do not care what his religion
or politics are: if he will treat US
fair we are for him.

RIGHT OF
nWAY SECURED

| Yesterday afternoon Frank w.
Clark, as executor of the estate
of the late Mrs. Frank Wells,
conveyed to the Ohio Valley Elec-
trio Railway company an agree
ment for a thirty-foot wide right
of way through what is known
as the old Barney Wells farm,
just south of this city. The con-
sideration for this right of way
was $500, which was paid cash in
hand yesterday by the company
to Mr.. Clark. The road in 90,
ing through this farm goes
above or east of the old county
road. The company now has the
right of way from Eph Wells,
the Barney Wells farm, the An,
shutz farm, Ed and John A.
Davenport, and on down to
Friendly. Arrangements have
been made for the right of way
is practically settled to the cor
poration line and the City Coun-
Gil will do it's duty by the people
All we want to know here is that
a firm needs encouragement to do
business. and means to do busi-
ness, and we are ready to meet
the company more than halfway
This railroad to Friendly is
one of the most important enter,
prises that we could imagine or
dream Of. 1t brings within only
a few minutes ride thousands of
people. They are people who
have become rich through oil. by
actually getting oil, or by rentals
or dealing in oil. Hundreds OF
the people of this county can
reach Friendly on shorter and
better routes to that town than
they can reach Sistersville. and
now its possible to get all of the
country trade back of Friendly
to deal here. We will get more
trade when this road reaches
Bens Run, and that will be the
next section to be built early in
the spring. All the Wick oil field
people can quickly reach our city
by way of Friendly and up the
trolley line. It's fully II miles
from here to the Wick oil field
via Friendly it's not over 9 miles
and less with a better road to
travel. All of this trade will
come here. Heretofore much of
it has gone to PennsbOro, but il
will come our way hereafter
Then there is the trade from
Little and the country in that
section which is settled up with
good people, rich, liberal, progress
sive and with plenty of money
This road brings them within
only an hours ride to our city
As we have said before, no mere
man can estimate in dollars and
dimes what this road will bring
to our city.
There is no question about the
county roads leading to Friendly
being 10000 better than the
ones that come to Sistersville.
Why? Simply because our home
people pay practically no atten-
ton to county matters. 1t is not
a political question. 1t is simply
the fault of our own people. Hi
ram Underwood helped to pave
a road in Garry Owen. He was
legally nominated for reelection
and defeated by the dominant
party simply, and only because
he had helped Sistersville. The
County court pays no attention
to our petitions: on the contrary,
seems to delight in turning us
down. Only a few months since
we asked for a new county road
| to Friendly. Down it went.
why? Because our voters pay
more attention to party than we
| do to our own interests. If a
court in the county turns down
| a certain section of the county,

A noval decision was recently rem
dered by Judge Groleau, who was act
ing for Judge Martin, of the Third
Justices Court of Plaquemines parish
The ownership of two COWS and three
calves was in dispute between two
darkies. From the testimony it
was impossible for the Court to decide
who was the rightful owner. After
his patience had ceased to be virtue.
the Magistrate ruled that each darkey
should content himself with COW aud
u calf, and the remaining calf was
held to pay the costs of the suit. The
attorneys who defended the disputants
were entitled to some compensation
for their services, so gossip says that
the disciples of Blackstones each got
a COW aud the litigants remained with
their respective calves. --Picayune.
