The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-05-09
PARKERSBURG'S BOOM.
And q Big One 1T Was.
The I. Z. A. Did Themselves
Proud.
And the Merchants Responded
GrandIy.

As last FREEMAN was full of
Market Street business, so this
issue might be more than full of
the Grand Trades Display of Thurs
day night that far excelled any
thing Petersburg ever witnessed.
The T. P A. we're here in force
from all parts of the State with
bands and banners, and made
fine display in their afternoon pro-
cession. But it was at night that
our city surprised herself.
No one dreamed of the magnifi-
cent display that suddenly emer-
ged from alleys and back streets
and rapidly formed in the almost
endless procession, amid the glare
of calcium and Electric Lights.
There were ships coming in with
Teas, Steam Threshers, Pyramids
of Groceries, Palaces of Drygoods,
Glistening columns of Hardware,
Cutlery and Implements, the B. &
O. and o. r. Railroads, with Loco
motives, Model cars and Brigades
ofTransparancies, five Brass Bands /;
there was Hunt aud Halls
Bunting-walled Music Tabernacle
on wheels with full orchestra and a
full house of 80 young folks enjoy
ing the music; there was q. l..
Spence's Art store with big Pipe
Organ, Sewing Machines, Fine
Pictures &c. &c; Pagers busy
Palace on wheels, with clerks tear
ing off goods and doing up pack
ages; The Mill Companies, with
Logs, Lumbe and saws, Furniture,
Men finishing up bureaus and bed
steads, Danas canning Tomatoes,
Dudley's Green Houses, the Butch
ers with their beeves and meat
emporiums, and a thousand other
representative displays that
stretched nearly two miles and
consumed an hour in passing.
1t was a grand big thing and no
mistake.
THE GRAND BANQUET.
After the Trades Display came
the Grand Banquet at the Rink,
where 500 guests Toasted and en-
joyed themselves till one o'clock,
delighted the while with entranc-
ing music by the Wheeling OPP
era House Band.
Next day there was an excur-
sion to Blannerhassett, and visi-
tors were shown through our new
Ice Factory and other places of
interest. Taking it all through it
was a big Boom for Parkersburg
and the T. P. A.

F. JENKINS & son,
(Cor. Fifth and Market.)
The OLD RELIABLE GROCERY,

Mr.. Jenkins, having been in the
Grocery business in Parkersburg
for twenty-seven years, is enabled
to buy the very best goods on the
very best terms, and this give his
customers the benefit of his
experience.
The firm is now combining its
business to groceries and does not
handle liquors as formerly, and as
the corner stones of success, relies
on Choice Groceries, Full Weight
Goods, FAIR Dealing and Cowrteo us
Treatment.

After our Boom Edition of last
week was partly run off we discov-
cred that we were directing the
people to Prayers Palace Store as
the "Moca", instead of Mecca" Of
the Multitude. 1t was the mis-
take of our type and no fault of
the Prayers. But the multitude
are getting there, all the same.

We clip this meaty paragraph
from Worthy Chief, W .A.Strickler's
anniversary address before Ellen

galized sale of intoxicating liquors

any of its members. Let our might
be for right and our influence and
votes be for the adoption of the

The increasing disinclination of our de-
sirable young men to marry worries fond
mammas with daughters on their hands,
and it Is o problem which they have been
unable to satisfactorily solve. The most
popular reason given is that women are
e~xtravagant, costly luxuries, in which
the average man hesitates to indulge. In
some cases this may be true; but generally
speaking this is rank nonsense. The men
of the period may think the ''horsey"
girl jolly fun, but they do not want to
marry her. Men of brains like a set to
with a woman of opinions, but they do
not want that bill of fare for breakfast,
dinner and supper. The student knows
well enough that algebra and isms are
worthless to keep household machinery in
good working order.
MOI Every one of them will pick out
for a wife the clinging, modest womanly
woman, who will be content Tor affect to
beg to shine by reflected light. No man
would willingly go on record as Mrs. So
and-so's husband. Now we may as well
admit that young women are willing and
anxious to secure husbands, wherefore
there's no use in denying that it is worth
while fo1 the girls of the time to cultivate
that otherwise definitionless charm which
is understood by the word femininity.-

Money saved by Sanitation.

Medical men have long been familiar
with the TACT that sanitation has been a
saving to the community at large in
doctors bills, in nursing and even in
days of labor to the industrial classes.
But it has been difficult to put results
into figures, 80 as to impress the public
mind. MIR. Brudenen Carter attempted
this in his inaugural address to the Col
lege of State Medicine. Every case of
fever, he calculated, cost the community
$40. The reduction in the annual death
rate from fever to 4S4 per million from
the 1861 go rate Of 90S per million rep
resented a total saving of 81, 500, 900,
''but of this no n seemed conscious"
while the annual cost of scarlet fever at
the present time was So, 200, 900 a year.
If. therefore, we could trace scarlet fever
to a definite cause, as a bovine disease
communicable by milk, we could adopt
precautions which would save the coun
try every year somewhere about half as
much money as the recent conversion of
stocks, besides much misery" Here is
new light upon disease. 1t is increas-
ingly p~reventable, and as we reduce its
virulence and range we o v money

Taking Too Much ouinIne.

The quinine habit is gaining strength
every day. Dizziness, that you hear in
Vulnerable people complaining of in these
days, car be traced to excess in the use
Of quinine. The good effects, that 1t is
nearly always certain of, are lost by ex-
cessive doses. Too much quinine will
also produce congestion of the ear and
vibration of the auditory nerve. The
growing habit of taking quinine for
neuralgia and other like ailments, with
out consulting q physician, is altogether
reprehensible, and may lead to very seri-
ous results, Many cases Of deafness are

Mud Baths of Las Vegas.

When it comes to genuine cures Las
Vegas can show up some pretty tall
stories Most of the cures are effected
by the mud baths. which are a novel
feature. The patient is plastered over
from head to foot with extremely hot
mud, made by mixing prairie loan with
the hot mineral water. The nose, mouth,
eyes and ears are left uncovered. He is
then placed in a tub of the mud and left
there half al hour, after which his dirty
coating is scraped of. A shower bath Of
the hot water follows, then a plunge in a
tank Of it; after which comes the mas

Beauty in American Dress.

A Chinese lady in approved modern
fashionable dress attracted a great deal
of interested attention in Broadway the
other morning. To any one overtaking
her the figure was that of q medium
sized girl dressed with exceptional ele-
gance and taste. She wore a silk dress
of a dainty green tint cut and slashed
and trimmed after the latest Partisan
ideas, and a heavy black beaded passe-
menterie cape overher shapely shoulder
gave a wonderful appearance of neatness
to her unquestionably slim waist Her
couture was stylish and becoming, and
she wore a chip straw hat of the latest
shape and of a delicate gray color, elab-
orately and effectively trimmed.-New
