A CHAP chap by the name of Bean, for
O-be-joyful yesterday, was fined So and
costs.
Mr.. T. W. MELLoTT, our enterprising
dry goods merchant, and F. ]. Smith,
boot and shoe merchant. leave our city

plenishing their stock of goods.

his father. Judge Cowen, who by fall
from his horse in Bridgeport, Saturday
evening, had one of his legs broken was
much better and is getting along finely

and grapes. The peaches are obtained
from Muskingum county and are not to
be excelled anywhere.
WE notice that the South Bellaire and
Benson Ferry bus is making its way
along our streets at its usual rapidly.
We are surprised that our citizens should
want Street Railway while this elegant
method of travelling is presented them.
MoUNDsyILLE.
MoUNDsvILLE is to have new doc
tor. DR.. Curtis, of Pleasant Valley, this
county, recently purchased the residence
of. VI. Bell, Of our city, and has already
moved into it. The Doctor is young
man of more than ordinary ability, being
a graduate of one of the best medical
schools in the country. Having had con-
siderable experience as a physician, we
would beSpeak for him liberal patron
age from the people Of MOundsville and
vicinity.
THERE has been great deal Of talk
and nonsense about having new court
house for this county. 1t seems that the
matter rests with that body of
gentlemen denominatcd the County
Court, TO have or not to have
that would, at least, shelter
from the rain and storm the jurieS that
are compelled to attend the sessions of this
humbug. You may talk about the blind
Goddess Of Justice, but if | were
an artist | would give you Il
picture of about eighteen Of
the blindest and most demented abering
COTS of the shabbicst justice, issued from
one of the shabbcSt temples of justice in
Oh! if could only describe
to you the beauties Of that grand piece of
beauty now ornamenting
the Court House square. Just imagine Il
big sheep shed with the roof torn of and
the records of Marshall county strewn
prOmiscuOuslyabout within the enclosure,
the whole, and seated in
the middle of said enclosure, imagine
eighteen business men o. the enlightened
and civilized county Of Marshall cOngrc-
gated in solemn conclave for the purpose
Of dispensing justice to the poor tax pay
ng population of this county. Could you
but see the characteristic competency of
.hcSc gentlemen and witness the manner
in which they extend five days business
INTO five weeks term (at 50 per day
YOU would then understand the reason
why We don't have a new Court House.
You see it would not pay to stop the
Court long enough to build new one.
For the benefit of those who don't
know it we desire to say that Mounds
Vile has a rolling mill, real, genuine
mill, and it has been furnishing employ
ncnt to about fifty or sixty hands on
single turn, and | believe it is now un-
lcrstood that they will soon commence
double turn. This mill is be-
ng run by men who, although not prac-
ical manufacturers, are certainly proving
themselves good business men, and from
present appearance, we doubt not but
hat the concern will be able to declare
mall dividend by the lst of January.
Considering the difficulties attendant up
IN commencing a manufacturing bust
less and the universal stagnation of bus
ness atfai>s generally for the past ten
months, and particularly since this con-
ern started last spring. it would be
'erv hard to find a mill that has done so
we'll.
CAMP meeting has closed at last, and
rom the expression we hear one would
oncludc the people of Moundsville were
lad of it. To be able to fully appreciate
camp meeting, in negative sense YOU
AVE only to try the experiment Of living
nvwhere within two miles and half Of
camp ground, during a camp meeting
easOn.
THE impossible, good natured, NEST f,
popular ex-shcrif, Gen. l.. T. Gray, has |
one into the milling business, having I.
ormcd Il partnership with Louis Purdy, |
ate of the firm of Bell, Baker & Purdy, |
f this place The sheriff now collects toll !
instead of taxes. God bless him, and may |,
is half bushcl never grow less.
MoUNDsvILLE can now boast of a
Citing editor. 1t seems the Reporter !
an article in last weeks issue |
on the officials Of the Peniten- /
AIRY in some manner, and, as ] under /
land, rather unjustly. Capt Bridges
las absent when the article appeared, !
nd upon his return he demanded Of Mr..
vans, editor Of the Reporter, the name
the person who wrote the offensive ar
Gle. Mr.. Evans refused the name,
