A BIG Bfcuthed "blowhard" is az
denomination and reminds those t
whom he talks Of the fable of the
toad and the elephant.
ALL the Knights of Pythias In
town will go to Fairmont tonight
where a lodge is to be instituted
consisting of 80 members.
FIVE chandeliers (nearly new
with lamps, very cheap. We have
no use for them. If this interests
you call at Hirchman's. If.
MICHAEL PRICE and Ed III. Selby
both of this county have been gran
ted pensions within the past week
through J. S. Watson's pension
agency.
EVERY fellow in town who has q
girl of his own will take her to the
Point Marion camp meeting next
Sunday. The crowd that will &C
from here will be more than i'm
mcnse.
The change of residence from
such place as Fairmont to Morgan
town is greatly relished by the train
men of the F., M. q p. They are
excellent men and are cordially wei
coined here.
BOATING so far this season has not
been as brisk as it probably will be
later on, when steady weather sets
in, and meantime the ladies' walking
club makes up the bulk of general
outdoof sports.
WE learn that new platform is
ito be erected just north of the sus-
pension bridge, to be go feet long,
and a derrick at the same place, all
to be used for unloading oil pipe,
engines and boilers.
The Worley we'll at Blacksville
has proved to be as great gasser
as at first supposed, and company
is being formed to pipe it to Waynes-
burg, and the people of that town
will soon be revealing in the comforts
of gas in its varied usages.
The elocutionary entertainment
tomorrow evening by Prof. Rayhill
is one that should not be missed by
anyone who is a lover of the art.
He is an elocutionist of great renown
and ability. Don't forget the time.
The price is small, only rs cents.
A SMALL town near Morgantown,
W. Va, has an eccentric woman who
wears a different colored wig each day
in the week, Of Liberty. One
surely has to 60 away from home to
learn the news. We never heard of
the freak in question.
The creamery knocks butter ia
mine into q cooked hat. For several
days there has been little butter in
the stores, but it can always be
found at the Creamery, and Is cts.
u pound is a very moderate price for
the excellent quality of butter OBJ
tanned.
FAIRMoNT people say that from q
business point of view the new ar
rangement of the trains is all right,
but that they object because they
lose the railroad men as citizens of
their hillside farm, Probably the
reason of the change is that the B.
" o. Company is anxious for their
employees to reside in a community
shat is civilized.
SOME people from the hamlet on
the hillside up in our neighboring
county are very much excited over
the oil hoom in this county and are
try ing 10 make themselves believe
that there is oil in that vicinity.
There is no boom in store for that
place, 1t is said that famous poet
had that place in mind when he
wrote his poem, "The Deserted Viii
lage."
DENNIS CLARK, whom all hoped
was at this time far beyond the pre-
'cincts Of his nativity, still lingereth
in the suburbs. Will Joseph, natur-
ally compassionate, administers to
his wants in the shape of comforts
Sor the inner man in exchange for
work done in the mill, Dennis can't
be driven away from here, 1t has
been tried often but the result is in
variably disastrous.
WITH all of its glory is the noun
tain party season upon us. Nearly
every day do we hear of gay crowds
going to the Cool Spring, the Cave,
Cheat View, Quarry run, the Glen
moor or to some other of our many
famous nearby outing places. These
parties arc in every way delightful,
though in manner depending on
how tac nice, ripe, juicy spring
chicken is prepared.
The new railroad schedule pleases
the people, but a great many have
as yet to learn that the last train to
Fairmont leaves at P. NJ. instead of
4:50, as formerly. The first train
leaves at A. NJ. and the other morn
ing trains come and go at 1920 and
1875 A. NJ. as before. The last train
to arrive is at s in the evening. One
can, by the new arrangement, go to
P.ttsburg the same day, arriving be-
fore supper. No mails are carried
on the extra trains.
The new armory and commence
ment Hall is to be built on the lot
opposite the University, on what was
for,narl.- I-pomp nc tba Ctnro;ae LOT
.he dimensions and plans have not
as yet been decided upon, but the
building committee of the Regents,
consisting of Messrs. Jos. Moreland,
E. A. Bennett, D. D. johnson, G. L..
Smith and J. G. Schilling, will meet
in Wheeling this week to decide that
matter fully and definitely, and in
our next issue we can report accur-
ately the style and dimensions of
the building.
II is said that the business of a
town is gagged by the number of
business men who advertise in the
columns of the towns newspapers
and the papers themselves. So far
as papers are concerned we publish
the best in West Virginia outside of
Wheeling, but there are many towns
which give their best paper better
advertising patronage than is enjoy
ed by the New DOMINION But still
we go ahead and try to make bust
ness for them all and the return is
that merchant will try to jew us
on our already low prices for adver-
Using. Those who do advertise with
