Moore, Clerk, are doing q good trade
They started only 0 few years since-MT

This Is large, powerful mill and
"chsws" up an immense amount OF Log
In the course OF q year. Also, flourins
mill, run by Mr.. Muhleman, which doe
q good trade. OF the other concerns, We
will not now speak. About what tht
trade oil the town amounts TO we cannot
now speak, but would, no doubt, astonish
many Of your readers BY its magnitude.
CRoQUEr
Is the fashionable pastime here, and We
regret our carly education was neglected
IN this respect. We wish we were at Gro
quet what PhelAn used TO be at billiards
Then we would meet them on the green
and vanquish the now champions. We
witnessed a game yesterday evening Tor
the championship. Whether for the
championship Of the State, or only the
county we did not understand, but think
Il was for the State. We will 80 publish
1t at all events, and II any Of your
WHEELING PLAYERS,
who think they know a thing or two about
croquet, will, they can come down and
contest the matter. They will go home
thinking they can play at that game q
little down in Wetzel." We can't give
the score" OF the game played last night,
but Miss Sue Leaf. Miss Jane Murphy,
and Miss Maggie Martin, the first three
players, went clear around
ON THEIR FIRST RUN.
Then Mr.. R.W. r. Roger dust read that
backwards) started off and missed the last
arch. As stated above, we don't under
stand the game, but we think this o pretty
truthful account oft. II, however, stands
open for revision In our next BY the
way, speaking Of Mr.. Roger, reminds us
that he lisa
FIRST. GLASS MUSICIAN,
and Is instructing q brass band how to
toot. We don't know much about their
music, but their wind is good. We were
here three months ago, and they gave US
q parting loot when we left, and yester-
day they gave US, upon our arrival, a toot
ofwelcome. We don't say they have been
playing ever since. Oh, no; not a bit Of 1t.
But they do say that at the next meeting
OF the County Court proposition will be
made 10 "anchor" the root of the Court
House. The brass band meets in the Court
House six nights In the week, for practice.
We had the pleasure this morning OF
renewing our acquaintance with Hon. W.
|. Foreman, of Tyler. Mr.. Boreman
looks well and hearty, and Is as genial
as ever. He Is here on legal business.
We,zel county only has five LAWYERS
Messrs. B. ]. Bowers, L. s. Hall, A. G.
Stringer, NJ r Grouse and last, but by
no means least, our old friend, Captain
Robert McEldowney. The Captain has
recently commenced practice, but will no
doubt get his share. And mentioning
the Captains name reminds US that for
accommodations and good square meals,
neat clean rooms and beds,
THE M'ELDowNEY HOUSE
there is pretty hard to beat. We know
that TO be so.
In conclusion VIC will pay a deserved
10 Mr.. Levi Tucker, the
Postmaster here. We called on him yes.
terday afternoon to get letter registered,
but he said it was too late. We told him
1t was important, and our friend Bosie
Bowers seconded the motion, and Mr..
Tucker said that the mail was closed, the
boat was liable 10 whistle at any mo-
ment, but he would try. He did try. He
filled up the dozen blanks necessary and
made US happy, and got the letter in in
time. We commend this act TO the I'M
divided attention OF other postmasters
throughout the country. NosIDDA.
