No PAPER No paper will be issued
from this office ucxt week, save supple
meut containing the legal advertisements
The reason, our hands have mutincd and
have utterly refused to work during the
Fair week, and We ratheFfibo with them
To think Of working during the next week
is something that is simply PrePOsterous
The Fair is,an accomplished fact; Brick
Pomcroy and the Raveuswood Band Will
be here; Ida 0so will will win the money
Blue Dick is claimed to be the fastest
tro,ter; Brown leila the fastest PAGER. -
John P. r B. Smith, the Chief Marshal,
will parade bis beautiful spurs on a beau
lifal charger, selected for the occasion, and
who could act tG, wish to gaze upon bis
graceful form. The Fair is an evidence
of the passing away Of "CornstaIk's curse
Of 100 years Old fogysm is going by
the board; Point Pleasant is now awaken
ing from hor Rip Van WinkIe' sleep,
and destined to take an advanced step -
We are 50 ogerioyed at the prospect we
cannot work Therefore, we hope that
our patrons will kindly excuse use for mol
issuing a paper nrxt'~eck.
ICg lloyrroR Letters Patent have
been received By Capt Ford for this use
ul invention. Now that it is in q condl,
lion to b. contracted for. let the Kanawh
River Improvement Company purchase
one or more of these Monitors" 10 order
to keep navigation open on tie Knnawha;
and let the Coal AMI Salt Companies pur'
chase one so as to keep tho Ohio River
open from Syracuse to the MDalh of Ka'
nawha The safety oftheir boats in the
Kaoaxha Harbor woull more than com.
pensate them for the outlay. Suppose the
present winter should be as severe as the
last tVo past winters, what would it be
worth to these Companies and to the com
munity between Gallipolis aud Pomery,
aud Charleston to keep navigation open
all winter between these points, The salt

pauy at this place. and from Charleston,
aud at different points along tue Kama
wha. Now, If they should be cut off by
long freeze up, the salt furnaces would
be compelled to suspend business. Du-
ring the last ,Wjnte the rivers were frozeO
over three months. Tue financial condi
ton of the country depends greatly on nav
igatiou being open and kept clear of ice
This invention il put into practical use,
will doubtless be the means Of saving
thousands upon thousands Of dollars worth
Of property. Besides our people could be
supplied with coal during the winter from
either the Kanawha or the Ohio. We
understand that Capt. Ford contempates
building one or two Of these monitors"
at this place this winter.
We are gratifcd to announce that at
The Cincinnati Industrial Exposition, Mrs
Pauline Stereu, of Mason City, was
awarded the only prcnium-Sivcr Med.
