BELLAIRE.

The Bellaire Fishing Club, which left Bel
laire last Sunday to 60 into camp at Fish
Creek for few weeks, is having great
time. "Bluch" Gallaher is chief cook and
Is a capital soup maker, says Capt. Davis,
who is home for couple of days getting q
spare meal, preparatory to few more days
of rest with the boys along the river. The
last dinner Mr. Davis had with the campers
most interesting episode occurred, which
brought the blush to the cheek OF the cook
and also condemnation from the
occupants of the chairs at the table.
Part of the soup had been served,
when the great spoon in the pot tished out
derk-colored object that would plainly be
discerned from cabbage. "Bluch' at once
knew what had become of his lost dish'rag,
and in his effort to smuggle it to the outside
Of the tent he was caught by one Of the
boys and an explanation demanded. The
cook said it was sll his fault and would not
let the thing occur again, but from that
time all faith was lost in the soup-maker,
and the appetites of the crowd went visit
ing. The Bellaire Fishing Club is COM
posed of the following crew: d. Davis,
Greeley Fletcher, Henry Williams Bluch
Gsllaher, John Mullen, James Murphy and
Pat Cain.
After great deal of ceremony Chss.
Deitenberg and Henry McGeorge, both
glass workers. got away in skif on a trip
10 Nicholas county, ". Va, to buy farm.
The county lays somewhere back of Park.
ersburg, at which place the rowers intended
leaving the river aud cutting across the
country to their destination. They under
stood that farms could be had out there for
almost the asking, so they made up purse
of about fifty dollars most OF which was IN
nickels and dimes. The money was slowed
in one end of the skif and made such
heavy bulk that the boat, sank considerably
below the ordinary level while running. The
FIST night out was pleasant one, but
next day large towboat came very near
planting them in the middle Of the river.
Several other little accidents marred what
might have been a pleasant journey had
Providence permitted matters to slide
smoothly along. The bag of money was
source OF great discomfort to them as beth
could not keep their hands on the pile at the
same time. 1t was finally decided by
straw vote that farm was not what was
wanted, but a visit to the Big Ten Club
would suffice to heal all desires for home
out of Bellaire The unlucky couple are now
home. They were met on the river bank BY
brass band and gladly welcomed. Charley has
decided that Bellaire is good enough place
for him to rear fighting and other breeds OF
chickens, and that the old glass house was
still his friend even if he hadn't made dol
lar out of her for six long months. And
this ends what has caused all the special
dispatches about glass workers being dis
couraged and that a large number OF them
would leave here to take up the life of
farmer in West Virginia.
