More About Gas.
The result of the boring done BY the bef

GAS srfihe hss had on, our people and on the

doubt that We are in the main gas belt
which passes through Wellsburg Brilliant,
and other cities above Us The best way OF
forming such conclusion is to examine
the condition of the rocks and the hl1a

n mouet rOuftu.
Bellaire, along with, the other cities Of the
country, celebrated the anniversary OF the
Declaration of independence about week
ago. The observance By our people com.
pared favorably with alb other places, most
of whom, we are sorry TO- say, INDUCED in-
dulged in the pleasures of the times to the
degradation Of themselves The Fourth as
a holiday is viewed by the masses
as the proper time to grow hilarious
by drink. Patriotism to certain extent
can be obtained from beer or whisky, but it
is not to be compared to the old fashioned
form of displaying loyalty to the country or
honor to the flag. Instead of the public
gatherings, private pieaics ssd speeches rel.
alive to our freedom as nation, we are
greeted with drunken brswls, curses, fight.
ing and disgrace in the makeup Of the fes.

Fourth. Such demonstrations are usually
The work of but handful OF our people, but
freedom in such matters allows small col.
lection of intoxicated individuals to ruin
the sport Of large a,semblsge. If such
modes Of displaying independence were
stopped how much pleasanter it would be
for us all. The scenes and recollections Of
q week ago are apt to have o wholesome
effect toward dampening the ardor of some
people in this direction.
The Vegetable Market.
The gardener has about finished his hsr-
vest of green goods. Favorable weather
produced an abundant supply that seemed
TO be thrown on the market at irregular in.
tervals in great quantities. Prices remained
stiff but slow sales and an OVERLOADED stock
caused shrinkage in cost and great uu
easiness on the part Of the grocerymsn who
had to keep vigilsnt watch to guard
against any little eruptions regarding prices
Vegetables are continual source Of annoy.

edibles on the market now are cabbage, 20.
ratoes, peas and beans. Cabbage is sold
from to 10 cents per head. New potatoes
retailed rs cents per peck. Peas and beans
bring Is and 20 cents per peck. Cucum'
bers can be purchased at almost any price,

have passed into seclusion, but right behind
them the cherry and raspberry crop fills the

present, especially the raspberry, and find

About the Ladies'.
The young ladies are rivaling each other
at present in the make up Of their light
colored summer dresses. The styles are 90
various as the weather, and 10 the eye Of
the opposite sex these graceful beauties on
a summer evening are subjects Of admira.
ton. White dresses with hat to m atch,
and numerous adornments OF mild like ma
ture are very becoming and we'll these crea.
lures know it. For oil it matters, their
adorers are Cad to see them in state Of
sWeetr..es, but it ia not 90 with the great
|, ooncourse of rival females who have their
progress in this line constantly at stake,
ard if one woild only listen to the chatter
Of each of the poor darlings it is more than
likely that be would be lead to believe that
the summer dress Of a light color was ap-
propriate on but one of the fair sex and
that was the speaker.
Speaking about styles and the like would
t be improper for Inundated creature to
offer an objection 10 the late custom of
soaring bus-ls that bear close resem-
olance 10 Mount Krns. On several occa-
ions we have been compelled to squelch
blush after passing young lady who wore
4 close fitting jersey which persisted in
climbing out Of its latitude, causing an sp.
pesrance behind Of cuttoosoon jacket.

exhibition in some Of the windows can you

Building Associations.
The past several months have been quite
trying on our associations. Money has
been hard TO acquire, owing to the univer.
sal existence Of hard times, and many poor
people who have found fund Of money
necessary for existence have proceeded 10
