BeaIlsville. Ohio.

Mr. EDITOR: / am now what l Ger
5ainly never expected or dreamed of
resid mt of the quaint old town Of
Beallsville, Monroe county; nor am
alone, our dear and excellent home pa
per, the BELMONT CHRONICLE, has
| gained its residence. 1t finds its way
into ear home circle each week, asit has
for some time heretofore. Old Belmont
was our former home; and we are as
5ured that we cannot keep house with
out our paper to gladden. our sad and
gloomy countenances,, that are so of
IO'ershado&ed by home sickness. Why
should we allow our thoughts to run IL.
that channel when we have such a beau
tiful home and pleasant surroundings
You, Mr.. Editor, friends and school
mates, will kindly accept an invitation
and do not suffer the opportunity to be
lost of visiting our town next summer,
We boast of three hotels, and by send
ing telegram-I1l recall that, for l be-
iieve we are not quite so far alOng-Oi
dropping postal you will find the tables
aountifully spread and every effort made
20 entertain and make the visit as en-
jOyable as anticipated.
The B. s. S. w. is the only true route,
but this season of the year would moi
speak well for it. The road at present is
in bad condition, caused by slips. We
nave quite coy and complete depot,
and our agent, Mr.. 7. Martin, spares no
pains in making his people comfortable
while awaiting the arrival of trains.
Christmas and New Years were OBJ
lserved here, as in most of our neighbor-
\ IN Nf oh11r fac lS
On Christmas eve the N. Z. Church gave
a festival in Truax Hall, the proceeds
being for the repair of the parsonage.
Rev. and Mrs. L. B. King took very ac-
tive part. They well deserve praise and
sufficient means for making their home
comfortable, as they expended much to-
ward its repair.
On New Years eve grand entertain
ment was given in the Presbyterian
Church. The church was well filled.
Had it been pleasant evening the au-
dience could not have been seated.
We know of no sickness at this wri.
ting. Those that were on the sick list
last week are rapidly convalescidg. Sew
eral weddings were talked of, and but
two or three came off.
Among the strangers that spent the
holidays here we noticed Mrs. Grafton
of Barnesville, the guest of Mrs. DR..
Reed; Misses Mooney and Dihel of
Woodsfield; Mr. Calvin Mccullough, a
student of Startling Medical College,
Columbus, the guest of Rev. Mcdonald.
Miss Mary Wollenweber of Hamilton,
Ohio. who has been spending few
weeks with her uncle, Mr.. Wollenweber
of this place, will visit friends in Whee-
ling next week. -A
Miss Sadie Eckels, who is the guest of
her sister, Mrs. l.. B. McNIannis, will re-
turn to her home in Harrisville next
week. iulr
The stave and keg factory we regret
to learn, is to be erected in WoOdsfield
instead of Beallsville, as we had so ear
nestly hoped. The change our people
cannot account for, as Mr.. Wallace spent
several days here in looking out loca-
ton. After having expressed himself
as well pleased both with the location
and the abundance of timber afforded
him, he leased the ground from Mr.,
Daniels, and returned TO his home,
leaving the Impression that he would be
with us IN Il few days. We will not
quite despair however, but look out for
other manufactures.
Twill not tire your readers with any
further news from or description of our
place, for if this is deemed worthy of
publication another opportunity may be
afforded ts sat LEE. NJ.
