aad . Lot Of News Notes.
The Short line railroad is greatly favored
by every manufacturer along the river be-
tween here and the terminus. Martins Fer
~. One mile OF track is already laid, the
Tuscarawas extension from Bridgeport to
West Wheeling. Il was stated some time
since that the B. 4 o. had staked OF road
bed between here and West Wheeling, to
connect the Tuscarawas and had surveyors
at work on up to Etnaville. 1t is a good
chance for the b. 60, but the G. & P. will
not let the opportunity slip her to make ar
rangements to extend among the factories.
The short line is what we want and the
matter is receiving much attention.
"A Good Scheme.
We are to have another Building Asso-
citation from present appearances. 1t is on
q new plan from any now in existence in
Bellaire. 1t is called a perpetual Building
Association because it never runs out.
Like a bank because it lends you money at
q certain rate of interest. Unlike other as
so~ciationS, because to the buyer of money
for building purposes it is cheaper. These
association have been in existence in Gin
cinua,i and other large cities for a number
ofyears. The plan is simply this. If you
are a stakeholder of the company, and stock
is worth $500 per share. you viii be allowed
to borrow out as many times $500 as you
hold shares and will be required to pay six
per cent. on your money. You can become
a ~stockhelder at any time and are always
sure Of six per cent. on your money. 1t Is
a young bank as il were.
Only ~slumbering.
1t was a strange sight, wierd i'll the ex-
treme, so thought your reporter, as he
trudged along the railroad track on his
trip in quest Of news. He saw before. him,
on his right side and on his left a Inst of
factories, that seemed to have grown old in
the service OF their country, and had been
turned adrift to die. All a quiet. The
black smoke had ceased its curl. The busy
scene always meeting ones gaze had melted
away. The fires were out and as a stranger
passed by he seemed chagrined at the still
ness that prevailed. What place have |
struck" quoth he, can it be possible that
Bellaire has laid all her energy away to
rustT' mot quiet" said a companion who
Just then came up, she is taking her usual
July and August nap now. The Presiden-
tiaI election has dizzied her brain some
what; she will be all 'buncum' shortly"
Enough" replied the stranger, ut is well
it is thus, for / would never have thought
the Furnishing little city would wear an
eternal look Of sleepiness after her few
short years of fruitfulness."
mo" broke in the companion, a little
time and see us boom" and the pencil man
took it down to use when he was hard up.
The City's Deb
The following interesting item is taken
from the Independent: The debt of the
city of Bellaire in round numbers is $780,.
900; Sl30,0 600 OF this is for the water
works, ST. 800 for school purposes, and
ST., 900 OF the balance for sewer purposes
which is to be paid by the property bene-
fitted, aud does not go on the general tax
duplicate. What is still left would have
been much less had the Scott law been held a.
constitutional, but instead of receiving from
that source Sc. 040. 10, as was done last year,
there was only paid to the city $2,26ttT,
and this will probably have TO be paid back
It requires a levy amounting to about
5000 per year to pay the interest alone o N
the Water Works debt, to say nothing Of the
principal, which has increased 10000, and
no provision made for paying any part OF it.
Several Gatherings.
Thursday evening was very unpleasant.
but appointed gatherings took place and all
report a good time.
The Echo club gave an entertainment
on the above mentioned evening at the
home of AL. Williams. Most all of the club
was present and to the notes of Fosters or
chestra the merry crowd danced until mid
night.
Mrs. Maggie Rheubottom the same night
entertained a house full of her colored
friends in honor of her lady visitor from
Xenia, O. A bounteous supper was spread
and a pleasant evening was had BY all.
Gravel Hill was also the scene of a gath
ering of the older folks at the home of Mr..
Morris Miller on Front street. The compa-
ny had the extreme pleasure of giving the
beautiful set Of chinaware presented by Mr..
Miller, by the c. 4 P. r. Il. Relief AssOCia-
ton, a fair trial. The visitors appreciated
the evenings entertainment very highly.
