Events Of Week.
Albrightsville.

THE ARGUS makes its weekly visits,
would like TO know what the people
are doing in this neighborhood.
This village, after sleeping many
years, has at last awakened and looks
forward to a bright and prosperous
future. The railroad is fact-no
longer a question. Business never
was so prosperous as now. The
Walls addition is building rapidly.
There are two new stores with good
merchants. MIR. Hoffman has Moe
trade, as has also Mr.. Parks. The
merchants at the bridge are doing a
large business.
There is one good Lively stable
here with good urnouts. We have
one good hotel. Three Others aIe
buIldng-the Waldo, Queen City,
in the Walls addition, and the High
View. The latter is two minutes
walk from the new depot and has a
fine view of the city, with good air,
shady grove, and handy good water.
Teams are continuously hauling
lumber to be shipped from here.
Millions OF slaves are coming for
shipment Everybody has plenty
70 do.
Before tins appears in print trains
will be running through TO Morgan.
town from Rowlesburg. The Sypolt
bridge was completed Saturday.
COUNTY ROAD IN BAD SHAPE.
Oh wish TO call attention TO the
county road leading to the Albright
Cheat river bridge, west side, to the
approach to the railroad, which is
so narrow that wagons can pass in
only about two places. There are
over IS lumber teams per day that
unload at this place and the road is
blocked for hours daily. BuRgles
must wait until the loaded wagons
can pull up the hill. have only
spoken of lumber teams. Remem.
Der, that is only small per cent of
the travel on this road.
Now the train is pulling around
there and from curve in the road
person approaching Albright from
Kingwood can't see that the road is
blocked until they are in the trap.
We have had the promise of this
road being fixed, but promises never
build roads or this would have been
concreted. This road is a disgrace
to the county, besides 1t is danger
Gus We will say more on this line
unless the road is improved.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
We need good doctor to locate
here; also a good drug store. With
all the teams and wagons that come
here this should he one of the best
locations in Preston county for a
blacksmith. A merchant who would
handle lumber of all kinds, produce,
and everything in general way,
could find no better location.
