Oar friend, "PecLs Bad Boy" Of Ma~ra- /
town, is OFF ON an immense time, with rs |
cousin Roy of Kingwood w. Va. as shown
by Maurertown Items of last week Thus
an item or two from us. in place Of those
furnished weekly by him may be accept
able.
The old cake AMI beer sign, hangs no
more by the door, whore Fanny furnished
to the hungry and thirsty for many years
The brush is being cleared away, and the
old delapidaled house 'rcmodeled and
fitted to the tas1o of our young friend
Frank Saum, present owner. Aun' Fanny
having gone to the Wilderness.
An effort, we understand is being made
to locate manufacturing establishment
at this point but must fail, as do others
for want Of money. The enterprise,
q nergy and stamina is not with MS when
opportunity does afford. We learn that
the employment of ar least 100 hands has
been promised, but alas We fear our
monied men will drive it North as seems
to be proyerbial, no factories for ms.
The Burdott House yet stands rs an
eyesore, rubbish Of all kinds pile upon
pile, on street. yard and lot.
The Misses Crabill and Leedy, mllincrs,
seem to have dissolved partnership, or at
least SO says report, and on account OF
loneliness. Maggie has moved the bust
ness to the house occupied by Jas. Lickli-
der and family, where she will now con-
duct the business and strive TO give salts
faction 10 all who may call upon her,
/ loneliness oo-bad-though Phil we think
/ is about tired Of Florida and soon will re-
/ turn to still the aching pang of loneliness
/ by going in as partner. We have not
learned what the other half Of firm con-
templates doing, but Otis too we will
wager is wishing for home and the girl he
left behind, 50 cheer up Laura, they onght
have known keeping bachelors ball TO be
unsatisfactory, after leaving better half If
selves behind.
The PATRONS Of Toms Brood, school held
a meeting on last Monday night for the
purpose of electing teacher for the en-
suing term; the applicants were Calvin
Snarr and W. j. Sibert, the result Of the
vote was favorable to Sibert, who will
therefore occupy, and endeayor as best he
can to teach and give satisfaction. His
labors to instruct formerly have been quite
successful, as all We think must acknowl-
edge, but to give satisfaction, to all, can
not be expected, many men Of many
minds make MP the world, and much to
often the child controls the action of the
parent against reason with the teacher.
c. w Jones Il Co., Inns kiln firm, are
running a considerable business, and seem
to find no trouble in disposing of all the
lime they can furnish, it being, we think,
by all, considered good quality.
The firm Of Kronk Il Milcy, manufaciur-
ers and dealers in cigars, now occupy their
new house, erected by i. F. Borden. which
is large and convenient in all its apart
mcnts, being in size Is by p feet, two
stories high, with basement for the storage
Of raw material This is tine Third move
ncccsstated 10y the growth of business,
since the opening Of this industry, they
have been giving constant employment to
half dozen hands, and more room We
think will call for more places TO be filled,
Their stock, we hear highly recommended,
but of thi, we can say naught, as they
furnish us none to inspect. Well boys
hand over a small box TO the Editor and
the devils.
IIar. the blacksmith is proud and feels
secure with the name of Blaine y Logan
floating high over his shop. But Harvey,
our good bachelor friend, told him on
yesterday that after the news from the
State election of Ohio arrives the thing 10
look upon will cause him to feel bad.
With this we hope "Pecks bad boy,
and his cousin Roy G. are enjoying them
selves hugely, but not creating too much
excitement in the town Of Kingwood
especially with the hearts Of the fair sex
as there are those here in q constant huttcI
for their return TO their side anxiety an'
fear doth reign.
