MARTINS FERRY.

1t is customary for our factories 10 shut
down Q short time during the summer
months to take stock, make repairs and al.
low the men vacation during the part OF
The season which is too hot to work with
comfort or to advantage.
1t is also customary for the merchants to
allow their clerks q vacation, and frequent
ly take one themselves. But this season
The dull times and the consequent shutting
down Of all but two Of our factories has
made it possible for nearly every one to
take vacation and spend week or two in
he country, or among friends in some other
neighborhood. During these periods
of idleness men soon become tired Of the
.ameness of street corner loaGng and the
expense OF paying board, when there is no
income. The cheapest, and to most people
,he most pleasant method Of spending a
few DAYS, or perhaps weeks, comfortably,
and without any Of the restraints OF society,
Is in a camp in the woods in the vicinity Of
some stream, fertile with fish and turtles,
where the time can be spent in fishing,
hunting and general rest and quietude.
For reasons stated above, Martins Ferry
has sent out more impromptu fishing and
hunting clubs this season than ever before
