EAST CLARksBURG,
WEST VIRGINIA
An Embryo city-Teeming With Life
And Activity-Fuli of Hope and Hus-
tle-Rich in Resources and opportuni-
ties-Growing in Population and Pos
sibiiities-Go See 1t.

A PREDICTION. Cut this out and
keep it and let the respect of the PEG.
pie of this community for the undersign.
ed be based upon its correctness.
In FIVE YEARS from this date any
lot in East clarksburg win sell on the
market for 100 per cent. more than its
price to-day. Some of the lots will do
much better than that.
In TEN YEARS from this date ten
thousand people will reside east and
south of the big steel bridge as the di.
rect result of our Industrial develop.
ment Hundreds of workingmen will go
to and from their homes to the factories
now building and to be built in East
Clarksburg.
IN TEN YEARS from this date the
big steel bridge now completed in East
Clarksburg will be the centre of GREAT
Err Clarksburg
IN TEN YEARS from this date there
will be large business blocks and humid
reds of residences in East Clarksburg
IN TEN YEARS from this date the
railroad now completed through East
clarksburg viii have been extended up
the Elk Valley to a connection with othe
railroads and East Clarksburg will be
on the main line. 1t will have pas.
senger and freight station. 1t will have
wholesale houses and retail stores, and
the history of Glen Elk will be repro.
duced. Do you know what that means
Ito the man who is wise it means for
tune.
IN TEN YEARS from this date East
Clarksburg will have three-minute
schedule on the street car line, instead
of 40 minute schedule as at present.
1t will be on direct street car line to
the new Fair Association-the largest
and best equipped fair grounds in the
State. 1t will be on the direct line to
and only a short distance away from
Grasselli, where the largest factories in
the State are now building, and where
hundreds of men will be employed.
And this does not mean that other To-
calities of this city will not grow, but
the growth on the east and south will
be phenomenal.
Why should this not be truei
] Cities are built where conditions are
favorable and where citizens look around
you. Do you know your strength and
opportunities DO you know your re.
sources and advantagess
Knowing these you must agree that
the conditions are so favorable here that
time and energy is all that is needed to
build city.
If You lack faith in your own judg.
ment talk with the managers and owners
Of the great factories now building here
They believe in Clarksburg, in its pos.
sibilities and its future.
The time mas never been in the his.
tory of this city when investment il
real estate is so attractive as at The
present time-we have now substantial
ity behind our growth and merit behint
our pretensions.

Good Resolutions.

Mrs. Jennings looked through her
glasses at her sister, Miss Sprawle,
with considerable severity. This
neighborhood has got into strange
ways the last few years, or else | no
tice it more as l get further along,
she said, "and lest l should get into
the same way, want you to remind
me now and then, Mary, during the
new year that we're just starting on.
IF you find me backbiting like that
hateful, stingy Annabel Powder or
Lucy White, that had better look to
her own saucy, bad-mannered girl,
and her boy that's the poorest scholar
in No. 1-or if you catch me growing
close-fisted like the minister's wife
that has never returned the cup OF
granulated sugar she borrowed that
time the delegates came-or long
winded like Jane Larkin, who inter
rupted me in the very midst of my
telling her about Sallys twins, and
went on about her spindling grand
son for most fifteen minutes without
stopping-I want you should tell me
frankly.
"And that's not ALL" said Mrs. Jen-
nings, as Miss Sprawle opened her
mouth to speak. eff you find me get
ting linguistic like Helen Lane, that's
asked me three times when my birth
day comes and what year was born,
after my having to go to the town
records to find out her age, ! want
you to mention it freely, and shall
do the same by you.
IF folks don't help each other,
what's the good of being set in fam
lilies? You've got a little habit of
interrupting, Mary, that's growing on
you, and I'm going to do what / can
to help you break it up

A Maatc Cap.

A German organist who went to
live in st. Petersburg, says the Lon
don Mail, had an experience there
with new cap which almost made
him believe in the magic of his Teu-
tonic fairy-tales. He bought the cap
during his first day in the Russian
capital, and wore it the next day when
he went out for a walk On his re-
turn tqAah his room he was amazed to
find twl purses in his pocket, one con-
tainins tmore than fifty dollars in gold.
The next day after his walk he
found four purses in his outside peck
ct. AMI his amazement was even
greater A third day with similar
profitable result sent him to the chief
of police to lay his story before him.
In company with detective he
went to the tailor who had made the
can ard found it was from an odd
piece Of English cloth brought in by
a stranger. From it the tailor had
made fifteen identical caps to order
Having the bit left he made the
sixteenth cap, and sold it to the or
ganist.
The detective then followed the or
ganist through the streets, and soon
solved the mystery. The cap was
the emblem of a gang of pickpockets
who worked together. The one who
secured & purse dropped it into the
pocket Of the fRst confederate be
saw. The cap had identified the Ger
man, and he had reaped the reward.
Two or three days Of shadowing by
detectives resulted in the arrest Of
twelve of the band, and the chief of
police taereupon presented the organ
list with a. generous purse of gold for
his share in the capture.

prlvinu the GrizzIx West.

In the days of Kit Carson the griz-
Fly had not learned to look upon man
as a foe to be Stunned at any cost,
but the quick firing magazine rife has
taught him that if he possibly can he
must keep out Of mans sight. He has
now been driven back into the almost
inaccessible solitudes of the north
western Rocky Mountains, and the
sportsman who wishes to add his pelt
and dangling necklace Of claws to his
collection Of hunting trophies must
travel far and endure much hardship
and labor, for "old Ephraim," as he
was called by the Western pioneers,
fs as cunning as he is fierce.-From ].

tic and constipated; sometimes he is weak,
nervous and depressed, and again he may
have eruptions, swellings and other blood
humors. Whichever it is, the cause is the
same-effete accumulations in the blood.
Nothing is more certain within the whole
range of medical science than that course
of Peruna in early springtime will perfectly
and effectually prevent or cure this almost
universal affection.
Everybody feels it in some degree.
A great majority are disturbed consider
ably, while large per cent. of the human
family are made very miserable by this
condition every spring.
Peruna will prevent it if taken in time.
Peruna will cure it if taken as directed
Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of
the medical profession.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use Of Peruna, write
at once to DR.. Hartman, giving full state
ment Of your case and he will be pleased to
give you his valuable advice gratis.

One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was his recent
lecture on the blood impurities of spring.
The doctor said in substance that every

the action of the bowels and the proper

The New Pension Order.

Washington, April l5.-To make
clear the actual effect OF provisions
OF the recent age pension order Of
Com missioner Ware, about which
a large number OF inquiries are
being made, the following official
statement was made today:
"There appears to be an impress
sion among many OF the old
soldiers that allowances OF pension
under tho age order OF the conn.,
mission OF Pensions are in addition
to pensions allowed heretofore.
"This Is an erroneous idea OF the
order. The law prohibits the pay
ment OF more than one pension
for the same period, and the efiecl
Of the order on those having
pension already only will be to In
crease such pension mp to the ag'
limit, II the pension already draw
is below that amount"
