WATCH .FAlRMoNT GROW.

1t will be blessing to Fatrmont If
all the East Side OF the river below
Merchant street is taken over by the
tracks Of the B. &, Q; branch line and
the b. & X. road Il (. j..
1t is true that there are some very
presentable business buildings on this
street but the general appearance OF
the street is not commendabe. 1t has
retarded very greatly the building Up
of the great East Side Of The city.
Many good people looking for subur.
ban homes have said that they would
like to live in that section Of the city
where so many broad and level build
Ing lots are available il it was not for
having 10 pass along Water street TO
set to their homes. The building OF
the roads over there will tend TO
broaden out the city. 1t will make
necessary the construction Of another
bridge across the river and when that
is done the B. & o. freight depot and
new passenger station will follow.
A city is like the human body. 1t
must have its veins and arteries, It
must provide for free circulation 81
It's people II It is to grow to a healthy
maturity. One OF the handtcaps to
Fairmonts growth now is the conges'
lion OF the bridge in passenger and
freight traffic TO say nothing of the
street car line.
Fairmont can do no better thing
than to provide ample, easy and con-
venlent communication with the East
Side of the river. it will be the means
CT putting substantial boom In the
First ward and the entire East Side Of
the river but the people ofsthis side
CT the river must be broad and liberal
enough to want to see development in
all sections Of the city regardless Of
their own particular personal or self
sh interests. No section Of the city can
grow and prosper without that pros
rerity and growth adding to the gen
eral prosperity Of the city as a whole.
Why not break down every barrier
give impetus to the movement of a
Greater Fairmont and watch Fairmont
grow?

The idea OF non.partisan editorial
association for West Virginia seems
to be gaining favor. The Faimoni

First, the betterment OF conditions

MAKING PROGRESS.

The Huntington Herald-DispatcE,
The State Journal, The Grafton Sen.

themselves in favor of organizing an
editorial or publishers association.
Now viii the other dailies OF the State
and the weeklles TOO join in this move
ment?
The Mail is authority for the state
ment that there Is some funds in the
hands OF the treasurer of the old edi'
torial association, and that there Is
also some money not yet spent be-
longing 10 the Republican Editorial
tAssociation and It might be added thai
there is also some money belonging

but that seems 10 be the case with
these three organizations. 1t seems
that the proper things to do would be

organizations and either settle up the
