Saturday morning opened very I'M
propiciously for the long expected
pic mic of the Knights Of Pythias
The heavy rains of the preceding day
and night had cast a gloom over all
interested. But notwithstanding the
unravorable appearances of the
weather the early morning trains
brought in quite q number of the
more Jealous. The excursion trains
soon followed. Those from Cum
berland, Keyser and Piedmont com
ing in first brought the members of
the Cumberland, Keyser and Pied
mont lodges. Next came the excur-
sion train from Grafton bringing the
members of the Friendship lodge of
that place, the members Of The Damon
lodge of Newburg, and quite num-
Der from Clarksburg and Fairmont.
All the trains were packed with the
knights and their friends and APP
peared, when moving away from the
cars, like swarm of Lees leaving n
hive. The knights then formed in
marching line with the Gilbert Band
of Piedmont heading the procession.
After they arrived at the grove they
listened to an address of welcome by
VIM. G. Brown, of KiDgwood.
We are sorry we have no time for
further notice of the interesting oc-
casion.

occurred at Irondale last Friday.
Some cars broke loose at the top Of

The hill at n terrible speed, as John

engaged in moving some cars at the
bottom Of the incline The men we're
caught between the cars they we're
moving and those coming down the
bill. Reed bad one leg crushed, while
PuringtOn, who was unconscious Of

our town.

Here is a late recipe for making a good
town, by the Brunswick MO, News:-
Grit. Push. Snap. Vim. Energy.
Churches. Schools. Colleges. Moral
ity. Enterprise. Harmony. Advertis-
ing. Cordially. Cheap property. Heal
thy location. Good country tributary.
Talk about it. Speak we'll about it. Help
to improve 1t. Advertise in and read the
town papers. Patronize its merchants.
Faith, exhibited by good works. Hon
est competition in business. Help all
public enterprises. Elect good men to
office. Speak we'll of its public spirited,
enterprising citizens, and be one of them
yourself. Remember that every dollar
invested in permanent improvements is
that much on interest. Always cheer on
the men who go in for improvements.

The swindling fraternity seem to look
upon the farmer as their legitimate prey
and are always concocting some new
scheme by which they can dupe him in.
to giving up his hard earned dollars. The
latest scheme is the "Patent Fence
racket, which is worked as follows: A
slick, nice spoken man will call on the
farmer and get permission TO put a sec
ton of the fence on the farm tt show
what the fence is, and get the farmer tt
give his address so that it may be ship
ped to him. The address turns out to b,
a contract and then the farmer is Undue
ed by argument, ifpossible, or by threat
of prosecution in the United State
Courts, or otherwise persuaded to Civ
his note. If the farmers will set the BIZ
dog on men who approach them witt
this and similar rackets, or take tn
shotgun in hand, these fellows woul
soon make themselves scarce.

Mrs. Partington's Birth.
From the Boston Globe

From the Boston Globe.]
The way in which the first Parting
ton paragraph was written was singu-
lar. One evening the news came to the
Post newspaper Office that flour was
selling at very high prices at the Mag
dalen Islands in the Gulf of ST. Law
renee. Said George Bailey, one of
Shillaber's fellow compositors: 81
don't care a. what the price is in
the Magdalen Islands, always have
to give just so much for half dollars
worth The idea struck Shillaber as
odd, and he Immediately set up the
lines: "Mrs. Darlington says she AL
ways noticed that, whether -four was
dear or cheap, she had invariably to
pay the same money, for half dol
lars worth" The paragraph was gen.
orally copied by other newspapers the
next day, and second paragraph
published thefollowing day was equal
~ well received. Encouraged by these
