CEsEpo, W. Va, May Fth.-This is
the place for business; this is place OF
prosperity, where work is rapidly pro-
crossing. Here no one seems idle; all
have something to do, and are performing
their allotted tasks with energy and de-
termination.
Another mill for manufacturing purpo-
ses is now being erected on the river bank
1t promises TO be quite an addition TO the
business enterprise Of the town.
| regret to announce an accident that
happened TO one of our citizens, Mr.. Hen
nv Stuck. He was assisting at the build
ing above mentioned, when, by some
means, he got his hand severely crushed.
The middle finger was amputated by DR..
Wharton, Of Ceredo, assisted by DR.. ffror,
OF Catlettsburg. He lis getting along much
better than could have been expected,
considering the severity of the accident.
The firm of Sheldon d Mead have re-
ceived supply OF spring goods. The
other merchants, no doubt, will soon FOL
! low suit.
/ regret to announce the departure Of
one of our most esteemed families; that
of Mr.. Gus Tri2zel. They remoyed t,
Vanceburg Of which place they have for
merry been residents.
De Faeto wishes some one 10 record the
"haps and mishaps of the picnic" Well,
all Bedot has u say is, that the school
children marched in procession up Main
street, with the American colors waving
grandly over their heads, and "young
America" beaming from their c0unteran-
ces. They presented quite an interesting
spectacle. The spot TO which they re-
paired for their entertainment was beau
tifully wooded hill near the town, and
that they enjoyed themselves is evident
from the joyous shouts that fesouRded
through Hill and valley, making even the
older folks in the town almost wish to
echo back the geeiul sounds that came
10 them from the hilltop.
OF outdoor amusements, croquet seems
to take tie lead. AS the cool breeze OF
evening sets in. the various groups OF
Young folks that are attached to the dill
ierent croquet grounds plainly indicate
the fascination that the game has Tor
them. Yet rumor's busy tongue inslnu-
ates that even croquet possesses not the
charms that the pebbly shore Of the La
BE lie river has Tor some Of our lads and
lassies. Times are changed from what
they were when we were young" but
this is "an age of improvement" ! think
Ccredo must be ahead Of our neghborng
towns in this respect, for il is really dis
tressing TO see the prcc sciUusnesS Of tie
yOung ladies nowadays.
MAY be, in my next communication, |
will have something in the matrimonial
lire to record; that is, Judging from the
indications at the present time, VIZ: clam
or mussel diggings, unexpected meetings,
loving glances in church, frequent Signs,
and other indications Of the mystic spell
Of love. No doubt it is all right aud it
NAV be our old fashioned notions that
make such things seen silly to Us, but |
sincerely hope that none Of the parties on
either side viii become non compos meals.
We should all be on the gG rice, tor there
is no kncvirg what fair ones may be
snatched from our midst by some of the
wild freaks Of Cupid. will hope for the
best, and let yop know if anything heart
rcndinc occurs. Au rcvoir,
