Exchange Notes.

The Fayette Enterprise comes to us
this week as a half-sheet, but as it
is of about 400-pound book or
cardboard paper, we presume the
mail facilities required it's being
sent in sections, and we still look
for the other half. But we know
how it is sometimes, brother, and
half-sheet so well filled will always
be acceptable.
Our neighbor, the Writ Mentor,
has embarked in the art illustra-
tive. Its first effort gives a birds
eye view of the departure in the
mud from Elizabeth of travelling
troupe, and at the risk of seeming
extravaganza we must say the ar
lists cuts have rather Nasty ap-
pearance.
1t wouldn't sound well to say
that somebody's put "head on"
the Central Methodist, but anyhow
it has new one, and a thousand
per cent prettier than the cum
brous picket fence it has been wear

age,
For months past Mr., Leonard had

change might be beneficial, but all
the kindly offices of his children
could do nothing to turn away the
hand of death. His remains were
brought home on Saturday, and af-
ter funeral services in the Baptist
church, buried in Cooks cemetery.
Last March Mrs. Leonard died at
the age of "a years, and now with
in year her life-partner follows

which both had together long wor-
shipped. The funeral services were

BAD AND GooD.-Last Friday
night was bad one for the morals
and order of the city, and Saturday
morning a good one for the city
revenues, if indeed the price of law
lessness can be regarded as a good,
apart from it's restraining tendency.
A lot of young men and women
reteledi in most disgraceful drunk
enness, both in Belpre, and on this
side during the night. Their Bel
pre- dodge didn't save them, for our
efficient police landed about eight
of them before the Recorder next
morning, who promptly assessed
against six of them fines and costs
amounting to even $50.

THE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE
This new (for Parkersburg) enter
priseis now in complete operation
in our city. Already those using it
wonder how they ever got along
without it. There are fifty-seven
instruments now connected with
the central office; and any subscri-
Der having an instrument in his
office can talk to the other fifty-six
places. Many weary steps and
much time is thus saved to the pa
irons of the exchange. Within a
few months the Marietta exchange
will be connected with ours. There
are about forty-five instruments
now in use in Marietta. Subscri-
bers will then have the full benefit
Of both exchanges, without extra
charge. 1t is a wonderful inven-
ton, and the value of such con-
venience is inestimable. Many
more Of our people will doubtless
become subscribers.

BELPRE FARMERS CLuB.--We

to be at the Farmers Club meeting
at Mr.. George Dana's, in Belpre,

fair in every way. Our informant
