It was a New Years day. There

steadily.
Regular winter weather and no mis-
take about It," observed Mr.. Richard
Hunt, as he came in rather noisily,
stamping the snow from his boots, "but
I like it. So cold and bracing."
Mrs. Hunt, who was sitting near an
open fire, laughed.
II like the house best such day as
this" she said, shivering little. Il
don't believe I'd be willing to face the
cold, even for the sake of the bracing." "

Hunt remarked, as he seated himself
comfortably. "Have you changed your

"Yes, I've changed my mind. did

Records Of Dairy Cows

Superintendent HoXie reports the Off

forty-one cows have been received.
Fourteen full age cows averaged, age

AFTER The POSTAL.
Temporary Board of Trade Or
ganized and at Work.
Permanent Organization VIII BE
Formed at an Early Date-Moyement
Should Have Public SuppOrt-Ad-
yantages Of Postal Telegraph.

The nucleus of what it is hoped
will grow into strong, active and
useful board of trade was formed a
few nights ago. George j. Humbert
was elected temporary chairman, G..
f. Young, secretary, and Frank Cor.
bin, treasurer. Mr.. Sturgiss and
several other prominent business
and professional men of the city
were present and took part in the
proceedings.
The organization was termed as a
result Of the discussion of the ad-
vantage Morgantown would derive
from the coming of the Postal Tele-
graph Company to the city. 1t was
suggested that if there was a strong,
active board OF trade here, some
effective steps might be taken to
secure the Postal Mr.. Sturgiss
liked the idea and at once, though
half in jest, proposed to organize a
temporary board of trade RICH. then
and there. The suggestion was car
ried out as stated above.
There can be no question that q
board of trade is an absolute neces-
sity in attaining the clty's highest
development and forcing its growth
and prosperity. The matter has
been agitated for long time, and
while there has never been any good
reason for not acting, nothing def
mite was ever done until the other
night. 1t is now up to all business
men and citizens to help the move
ment along and not allow it to perish
for want of support
Another meeting of the temporary
organization given above will be held
at an early date. 1t is desired to
have a number of business men
present and to form a permanent or
ganizstion. Meanwhile, the matter
is commended to the consideration of
all citizens in the hope that the
movement will do much to continue
the city's growth and industrial well
fare.
The temporary organization is &C
tive now in securing the Postal Tele
graph Company. They have been
asked to extend their lines 10 this
city from Uniontown. For year or
more there have been rumors that
the company would extend to Nor
gantown, but the lines have never
been strung. Previous invitations
have been extended to them, but
they have not accepted. Now is the
time to go after the Postal in earnest.
The advantages of having the new
company is obvious. Their lines
reach many points not reached by
the Western Union, and competing
company will insure better service
than Morgantown has ever had.
