THE TIME o'pAY.

One man in every fifty has the exact

reached from an hours study of the
hundreds of persons who consult the
chrOnometer in the window of a we'll

fortunate being was a railroad man

"The Man Land"

Little boy, little boy, would you go 81
soon.
To the land where the grown man live.
Would you barter your toys and youl
fairy things
For the things that the grown mar
Would you leave the haven whose days
are set
With the jewels of Loves alloy
For the land of emptiness and regret:
Would you go, little boy, little boy?
It's land far off. little boy, little boy
And the way it is dark and steep:
And once you have passed through its
doors. little boy
You mayn't even come back to sleep.
There is no tuclIing in, no goodnight
kiss.
No mornings of childhood joy,
It's passion and pain you give for this
Think well, little boy, little boy!
Little boy, little boy, can't you see the
ghosts
That live in the land off there;
The broken hearts fair hopes all
dead:
Lost faith" and grim despair?"
There's a train for that land in the
after years,
When old Time rushes in to destroy
The wall that sands tween the joy and
the tears
So don't go, little boy. little boy!

Houses Are Wanted.

The city of Clarksburg STANDS
right now upon the threshold of a
prosperity in It's commercial and in
dustrial affairs that fairly dazzles
the eye with its glittering opportuni-
ties. New Industries are coming,
building operations are assuming a
degree Of immense proportions, bust
ness in nearly all lines of trade is
growing and expanding at a rate
never before equalled and under
meath it all is discerned the firm,
solid substantial foundation of CON
fidence in the city's future that in
spires even the most radically con-
sentative.
With this expansion comes the de-
mand for houses-dwellings for the
many workmen and their families
who are coming here to make their
homes with US and to help us grow
into great city. One new industry
which will be in operation within a
few months, will alone bring thou
sand new people to Clarksburg. Shell
ter must be provided for all these
new corners and while many efforts
have been exerted to procure such,
the supply falls away below the con-
stantly increasing demand.
To illustrate the actual existence
OF this big demand for houses 1T
need only be pointed out that nearly
every one of the new dwelling houscs
that are being erected in various
parts of the city are now engaged for
before the roofs have been
put on them and a number of build
ers are now renting houses that are
yet to be built.
Here is golden opportunity for
those who want to make investments.
Let them buy real estate and build
houses and get ahead of the outside
capitalists and the monied men of
the big cities who are bound to come
here and make Investments If this
Inadequate supply for clamoring
demand is not kept up with. The
opportunity is here now and the PEG.

end in view. But the past year has
shown that such movement culmin-

The present board has proved IT.
self quite satisfactory in the first
year of It's existence, which has not
yet actually been twelve months. Its
first year will not expirt until June.
Yet, within so short time after
getting into working order the board
has been the means of some import
ant industries coming to Clarksburg,
industries that mean at least three
hundred and fifty additional men to
the population of Clarksburg, which
in turn means an immediate increase
of at least one thousand persons to
the population here. These indus
tries are permanent and promise
much to the industrial and CONNER
cial features of the community.
Besides. the board of trade has adj
vertised the city very extensively ana
is in negotiation with number or
industries. This work is bound to
bring forth fruit in the near future
and is not effort misspent.
The first year OF the board of trade
certainly commends it to future CON
sideration and the business men or
the city have doubtless by this time
fully determined to perpetuate the
organization. That its first annual
meeting few weeks hence will he

and that event will mark remark
