Church Meetlngs-street Fair-A Wo-
mans Poker Club.
The ladies of the First NJ. E. church
held an interesting experience meeting. on
Friday night, and each one of them told
how they had earned the sum they gave
that evening, TO be used on the new
church edifice. They say the way some
of the ladies managed to collect their dol
lars was very laughable, but $125 wac
turned in Just the same-the proceeds for
sewing on buttons, going errands, making
butter mending clothes, &c.
There is again talk of q Street Fair TINS
fall. A great deal of wind has been wasted
talking about fairs. If we are to have one
meeting should be called and commit
tees appointed to put matters IN MOTION.
We have splendid chance OF giving
street show that will beat anything OF the
kind on record. The great trouble with
Bsllaire is that she has too many business
men who are willing for anything, provid-
ing they are not bothered or asked to give
donation. The Street Fair held In the
city couple of years since, was the beat
thing the town ever had as an advertise
ment, and most every merchant who was
interested in the exhibition of that time Ia
willing TO take part in another. The
railroads will give excursion rates AND
farmers will come from far and near.
Bellaire wants some Of the trade out the
C. L. and W., and street fair would be
the best mode of drawing the people out
that way to the glass city.

club. 1t is said that the fair creatures

I'd of hats, gloves and overcoats. Next

ton and then exit.
Rev. Edwards, whom the congregation
of the Episcopal church had hopes would
take charge of the church here, writes that
he cannot possibly come. 1t is hard to
get ministers for the small churches
There are plenty OF good, fat positions Tor
all the clergy of this denomination and
none of them desire to do worse than they
are at present. They cannot be blamed
much for it, but there are some sinners in
Bsllaire who will walk along life's stormy
path withoui the preachers protection and
may be lost, all because the ministers do
not want to take churches that pay little
and ask much.

The tongue of gossip has been suddenly
hushed. A short time since it was re-
ported that letter sent from Lancaster to
friend in Bellaire contained the informa-
ton that o certain window glass worker
had parted from his wife because she had
been unfaitbful. The husband and wife
are we'll known here and the report spread

the husband, there is nothing in the re-
port. He came TO BellaiIe in hot haste to
straighten out matters. He found several
