The Annual Conference of the M. T.
Church of this district has gathered over
three hundred ministers OF the Gospel to
GAINESVILLE. Outside of Church matters
the people of the city on sun-kissed hills
are generally engaged in conversation about
spripg chickens AS the divlnes are S.
tributed all over GAINESVILLE, among at least
two hundred and ffty families most every
resident of the place is entertaining Wis
itor. Allowing three chickens tor each
family with preacher, it is estimated thai
seven hundred and fifty fowls suffered death
each day. The Conference lasts five days
and means slaughtering OF probably 800
OF the feathered tribe. 1t is not likely that
Barne sville will be selected as the place tor
the next Conference, as the chickens will
not have been given time to become numer-
GUS enough by next year.
The Immediate Delivery.
1t is nearing the time when the new sys
TEN for the immediate delivery OF Letters
will be an established fact. Most people are
an, 10 think the new idea will not amouat
10 much here, but if they would study the
subject thoroughly, as Postmaster Wise has
done, they would be OF different opinion.
That gentleman feels assured that the mes
sepger boy who is selected to deliver letters
in Bellaire will have no soft thing oft
You see" said that gentleman, latter
things get in working order, great many
of tit young gentlemen will make the pos
Office means for getting love mlsslves TO
their best girls. The young ladies will also
find the system convenient for correspond
ence with their gentlemen friends. Many
a time the young people would be glad to
send message, but cannot get 1t taken.
They will have no trouble after the first OF
next month. Business men al home and
afsr will soon recognize the new arrange
meLt as friend The messengers will be
paid eight cents for each delivery. Letters
here will be carried until after the postotfice
closes each evening. The stamp to be al
fixed to mail to be delivered post haste is
neat one. The government does not ex-
pect TO make money by the system, but only
desires to expedite such matter as comes in
a hurry.
Young America" has been faithful at
tendant at the school Tor the last two
weeks. He seems TO have gathered all his
energies together ard is struggling earnest
ly 10 attain
4 High Per Cent,
which seams to be the aim o! each and every
pupir. In the evening, after the labor Of
day ad been concluded, he is as merry "a
a cricket and crowd Of Americans only
Ted lader when any deviment is coz
ceived. The other night alter the foXhorn
had been laid aside a number Of young
chaps who had worried their mamas into
letting them stay out later than Usual, hit
uLon a plan TO get one Of their number into
q hole buckeltul of trouble. A tick
tack was 10 be pu, on he window of q GER
raIu house. The owner OF the dwelling was
made aware OF the fact and be prepared for
the tick. ackist with pail Of cold water
BY and by he came and had proceeded with
Il e work of attaching the piece OF trouble
until about completed, when there came
great splash, and the boy oh, where was he ?
Ask OF the crowd that round him stood, aud
laughed and yelled as best they could
Only about three weeks more remain
until the October election. 1t will probably
be the last occasion the people of this State
will have to cast their votes in October, as
the amendment to be voted on this year
relative to changing the time to November
will likely be carried. Politics are very
quiet in this section. There is considerable
Talk of Combinations
among the candidates in the newspapers,
but so far nothing has been developed to
confirm such suspicious The Republicans
and Democrats alike are working like beav-
ers for the success of their ticket and ii is
safe to predict that the candidates elected
on either ticket will have slim majorities.
There is considerable bidding beng done
for the labor vote, which has grown to be
an important element in the election OF the
county officers Of late years, IS at least
thirty.ive per cent of the voters OF the
county are found in the industrial towns
along the Ohio. The Prohibitioni,ts are
not sleeping BY any means, but there is no
possibility Of any OF that ticket being elect
ed. Thornton Rodeter, candidate Cor Rep
resentatve on the temperance ticket, is do
ing no active work atall, but is letting mat
tiers drift as they naturally would. The
vote o. the third rarty will be increased in
Belmont county this fall over last year.
Active speakers are doing hard work all
over the State and several able speeches
bave already been delivered here.
The society youth has been very quiet for
The last few days Last week there were
III rs
riages and Dame Rumor whispers it about
that another is on the tapis for this week.
The surprise last Tuesday night which
marked the fifteenth anniversary of the
marriage Of James Harrison and wife was
a pleasant event and will long be remem-
beled by those present Society cannot be
vide awake unless there is plenty of money
making, and as long as our factories re-
usin i1le the social world must reserve

w,i,d not think it but it is fact that the

Ill help TO increase the money circulation Of
the town, which is not small considering the
fact that the flint houses are idle The
Enterprise Window Glass Works will begin
blowing this week, and the workmen of that
factory, will, by their labor, receive pay
which will augment the circulating medium
to an apprecisble extent Should window
glass stiffen in price enough to let our
other idle works unload the large stocks
they have on hands, there would be an i'm.

The people Of this city are in the habit of
taking a trip to Wheeling when they desire
to purchase fancy carpets elegant dresses,
