Asa Meacham is quite sick
FRIDAY.-Cold day, with drizzlfng rain
in afternoon. -. Quite store of fun
was had at the expense of the "Fireman's
Dance" One member of Council was
peddling tickets, and invitations were
sent to quite number of church men,
bers. In fact, the whole thing was joke,
all around. Seriously, wouldn't it be as
well to disband the IRE Company and
quit, if the town is not able to support it
A Fire Company run as charity con-
Germ, is not on very good basis. -. The
Executive Committee of the Reading
Room Association had meeting at the
room tonight, and voted on the question
as TO whether the books should be taken
from the Room and read. The vote show
de a majority against taking them from
the Room. 1t was decided to hold aSocial,
in the near future, to raise funds to meet
the current expenses of the Room. ......
At the lottery for the gold watch at the
old City Hall, last night, the watch was
drawn by Mr.. John Raimey, a miner in
the employ of Jones & Morgan. There
were POI tickets. The receipts were
1924.
SATURDAY.-JohnW Warren, of Madison
township, was in town to-day. Mr. War
rem is teaching, this year, near home
He has taught this School for eleven
years-which fact is certainly very high
testimonial of his worth as a teacher. -.
Stephen Morgan, of Oak Hill was in
town to-day. Among the visitors to
town to-day was John J. Jones, of Oak
Hill. .... Balsar Andres, engineer on the
M. & c. Road, was in town to-day, visit
ing his brother, Joseph, at whose house he
also met his parents, from Liberty town
ship. -. We'll, we've heard of the squir
rel hunt by our young friends J. B. Howe
and j. M Trip. Before starting from
town, Howe wagered Tripp the cigars for
four that he Howe) would kill the most
game. Trip succeeded in bagging four
or five squirrels, when Howe got desper
ate, and blazed away at solitary old wild
goose which was going over to the north
to tell his relatives that their cousins
from the South were coming to spend the
winter. But the merry "honk-honk!' of
the old goose. as he laughed at the marks
man, could have been heard half mile
away. Howe then turned around and
whanged away at a muskrat, but the only
result was the bubbling laughter of the
old rat as he slid into the creek. Jim de-
clares he will seM his farm and go west
where the game is thicker. So if you
want a cheap farm, call on Jim before the
hunting season is over. To-day is re-
ported by the business men as one of un-
usual briskness- trade everywhere,
and large crowd in from the country.
....Dave Stevenson, of West Virginia, is
here. John C. Stevenson was in town to-
day. -. Andrew Overly called to-day to
see about giving notice to hunters. Mr.
Overly stated that while he was husling
corn a day or two ago, load of shot was

shot on his own premises. ..... w. J. Kirk

the country to-day.
MoNDAY.-Rained nearly all of last night,
and heavy rain to-day. Prof. Kin
nison spent Sunday in the country.
A formidable-looking crowd of Nlmrods
started out this afternoon. The most
noticeable of these perhaps, was Mayor
James, who in his haste to get out after
the sportive rabbit, had slung his shot
bag on upside-down. These hunters got
into a wagon and rode out into the coun-
try--and then rode back again. j Ohm
Griffiths, who went into Jail on Saturday
night, has gone out again. He was q
small man, and the big boys in Jail poked
more fun at him than he could stand
They gave the prison cells the very worst
possible recommendations, and added
greatly to the terrors of the place. JohT
believes the Jail to be an excellent place
to stay away from. m...... This forenoon
while William Martin, a miner, was a
work in Star Furnace Shaft mine, a large
piece of slate fell upon him, catching hin
about the hips and crushing him dow

ton, and removed to his home, near tn
Court House, and Drs. Crumit & William
summoned. We called at Mr.. Martin
residence this evening, and found hin
apparently suffering severely. We learl
that while he may speedily recover, tn
:. full extent of his injuries is not ye
known. At least, he will be laid up fo
some time.
