Merely a low price is not an evidence Of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. Ifyou want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.

THE CONVENTIONS.

The Republican Township Convention
on last Saturday was perhaps the largest
in the history of the party in this town
ship, and an unusual interest was mani
tested, due largely to the fact that, in
the opinion of men of both parties, some
of the nominations of the majority party
were not such as to inspire confidence.
Many came in from the country, and the
hall was comfortably filled when the Con-
vention was called to order.
c. H. Arick, Esq. was called to preside,
and E. L. Mcmillan was made Secretary
John W. Riley and Selden George were
nominated for Justices of the Peace by
reclamation, and in the same manner
was Leroy c. Sedwick and Leland Frint
named for Trustee and Clerk respect
lively.
For Assessor something of a contest
developed, and the names of J. H. Ros-
coe, Marion Shepherd, J. J. Harper, W
S. Orr and J. H. Young were placed in
nomination before the Convention. a
ballot was taken, which resulted in the
choice of J. H. Roscoe
For Constable F. p. Boston was nOmi-
mated, and the business being completed
the Convention adjourned.
THE MUNICIPAL CONVENTION
Met in the evening to place in nomina-
ton ticket for corporation officers
Considerable enthusiasm pervaded the
meeting, and the candidates were busy
hustling among the voters, all anxious
to secure support.
George Jepson, Esq, was made Chair
man, and I. c. Ayers and J. b. Longiey,
Tellers.
For Mayor, Judge w. d. Hoff and E.
E. Cleyinger were placed before the Con-
vention, and on the first ballot the choice
fell upon Judge HOff.
For Treasurer, Jas. d. Grassland and
S. W. Matthews were presented as candi-
dates, and likewise one ballot decided the
struggle in favor of Grassland.
For Solicitor, z. F. Clevinger was
placed in nomination by acclamation.
When the position of Marshal was
reached on the ticket, the names of Hen
ry Ducker, Joel Nichols and F. P. Bos-
ton were presented. Three ballots were
taken without choice resulting, when
the name of Nichols, the lowest on the
ticket, was dropped, and on the fourth
ballot Ducker received a majority, and
was declared the nominee.
Samuel w. Cochran was nominated
for Sealer of Weights and Measures,
under suspension of the rules, and in
the same manner were ]. r. Mitchell,
John Pollock and John T. Troll, declared
the choice of the Convention for COun-
cilmen.
There being no opposition, Eli Piggott
was nominated by acclamation to fill the !
position of Street Commissioner.
Thus an excellent ticket was nomina-
ted and one worthy of the support of every
citizen looking to the best interests of
st. Clairsville. 1t of itself will command |
the undivided support of the party at |
the polls and is winner

manifests itself more prominently in
this section about the first of April than
at any other season, and an unusual num-
Der of changes in location resulted this

THE OID.NATIONAL HOTEL.


The work of tearing down the old pile
of brick and mortar known as the
National Hotel was begun early on Tues
day morning and is being vigorously
pushed, and in few days only the site
will remain to tell of the aged and widely
known hostelry.
The main part of the building was
erected in 1919 by Richard Carter, the
brick work being done by William Mosley.
An addition was built on the east side at
a period about twenty years later in which
the dining room was located. The hotel
was favorite stopping place in the days
when stage coaching was the means of
travel, and nightly large crowds gathered
in the tavern bar room and toasted them
selves around the cheerful log fire. Here
fabulous yarns were dealt out to interest
ed listeners, and crude jokes cracked, fol-
lowed by hearty roars of laughter, a spice
being given to the occasion by the ever
present enlivening bowl from which cOpi-
Ous draughts were frequently quaffed.
Congressman on their way to the National
capital, frequently made this a shelter for
the night, and during the time it was
used as hotel it entertained many fam
Gus men. President Garfield remained
over night in this house a short time be-
fore his nomination. For a considerable
length of time in the years agone il ceased
to be used as hotel, but was occupied
by private families, and at one time was
used as store room and warehouse, the
entire building being taken up in this
manner. 1t was again reopened and re-
mained so until last Friday, when it was
closed forever to the guests. Where there
has been an eyesore for many years, a
handsome and modern building is to be
and with the old hotel this place
will have destroyed about all her old-time
and the bonds which
bound to the past will be severed and
glory will be built upon hope of the
future.
