MOUNDSVILLE LETTER.
MovNDsvLLr, October 2I

MOUNDSVlLLE, OctOber ~,
Editors IntsllIgencer;
The rolling mill here seems to be do.
ing well enough so far US regards one end
Of the mill, but at the business end they
don't seem to be doing anything. The
correspondent OF the Rsgister says the mill
is now running steady, much TO the salts
faction Of the workmen. We think it
would be poor set Of managers II the
boilers could not run their end OF the
mill one week without stopping, We un'
derstand there are five managers now to
the mill. We also understand that the
employees in the little mill are all on
strike, 1t would be we'll for all boilers
and rollers to notice the fact.
There was great excitement on the
streets yesterday A lot Of young men
purchased q football and got to kicking
II around quite freely, until they gath
cred quite q large crowd Of men and
boys in front of one Of our stores. Some
one OF the boys kicked the ball into the
crowd Of men, and kept 1t there long
enough to kick the bark off one another's
shins. They got one poor iellowdown on
the pavement. suppose he was kicking
at the ball and had fallen on top Of It,
and so the others were trying to kick i
from under him. But it was hard to tell
who or which got the most kicking, the
boy or the ball. The chap came to the
conclusion before the fun was over that
II was better to be living coward rather
than dead hero. He says he will quit
now. H.
OUR REGULAR LETTER.

Editors Of tho IntelllgenCOr:
To be u lOcAlizer in Moundsyille, /. e.
u successful one, requires traits Of
character possessed by but few. Now
and then something occurs, but II Is gen.
orally Of such little Importance that 1t Is
not worth noticing even in our home
papers-muCh less those OF the city. But
then We are almost daily reminded by
some subscriber that Moundsville locals
OF the lNTELLIGENCER arc getting scarce,
and we resolved again that we will write
something worth reading even by those
Of your readers outside OF your own town.
II was with this intention that took my
seat few moments ago, but when | cast
my mind over The field and examine the
material from which l am TO compose my
letter, to say the least, "I ain haraSsed
with doubts"
Yesterday ate! o'clock, John Wharry,
one Of our oldest and most respected ciu-
zens, was buried. lie died on Sabbath
morning. lie lived in the Low

cast a gloom over the entire community.
His death resulted from fall which he
received on Saturday evening while max
Ing some repairs about his dwelling. lie
fell but few feet, but his side and breast
struck ioist and he thus received the
injury from the effects OF which he died
The next morning. lie waS very anxious
to make his Wii, and a lawyer was sent
for for that purpose, but before he could
get there he was 80 far gone that he could
say nothing. lie succeeded, however In
giving verbal instructions "a to the dis
position Of his property, which will no
doubt be observed Just the same ma
though the will had been made.

A walk through the peniIentinry build.
ing and grounds on last Saturday con-
vinced me that business is not on the de.
cline there. Especially are things active
in the wagon department filling an order
for 500 wagons to go South. In the boot
and shoe department also, | was inform.
ed, all hands are al work filling an order

part Of wisdom in doing so. Marshall
