pany Takes a Step That
Means Real Action.

To County Court Of Wood
County in Compromise of
Long Pending Difficulty.

A compromise has been affected
between the county court of Wood
county, on behalf of Parkersburg
and Tygart districts. and the Little
Kanawha Railroad, whereby the
damage suit brought by the county
court against the railroad company
for 1000 is settled.
The consideration is $50, 900,
which amount was paid by check to
the county court. This amount takes
up stock to the extent of $4,000,
for which the county, or rather the
districts mentioned, subscribed
This means that the original plan
for the extension of the Little Ka-
nawha railroad to Burnsville will he
carried out Immediately, and that
absolute and unqualified determine
ton has been reached. For this
very reason the settlement has beer
made. 1t was stated by the railway
representatives that this settlement
is primarily an evidence of good
faith. and that in view of develop
:rents planned and definitely deter
mined upon it was sought to have a
settlement with the county, which Of
course would clear the way for fut-
ure dealings.

solute authority, and with check

that the Little Kanawha railroad
means business.

ORIGINAL COPY
OF a Newspaper Published 1903
Years Ago is in the Pos
session of Mrs. Miller.

As an heirloom Mrs. Jessie l.. Mil
Ter, Of this city, has a copy of a
newspaper OF much interest. 1t is
the Ulster County Gazette, published
in Kingston, N. Y, January a, 1900,
and is therefore more than 10S years
Of age. 1t is believed to be an orig
inal copy, one of the issue of the
date given, as it has been in the pos
session of the family of the late Ben
jamin Shuttleworth more than fifty
years, and was given Mrs. Miller by
her mother, Mrs benjamin Shuttle
worth, now deceased. 1t was in Mrs.
Shuttleworth's possession years be-
fore the reproduced copies of the pa
per first came out. This copy is per-
fectly preserved, though yellow with
age, and the reading is as plain and
clear as If printed but today.
The paper was a weekly and while
the copy in the possession of Mrs.
Miller has but four pages, about
one-fourth the size of modern
newspaper page, it contains many
items of very interesting news.
though much of 1T was printed weeks
after the events chronicled occurred.
The most interesting article in the
paper is a full account of the funeral
of George Washington, which was
held in Georgetown on December 90.
Another interesting item is that of
the reading of the message of Presi-
dent John Adams to congress on De-
cember TO-.
