buck against Strong Boy. Mr.
Bright rather than not have the
races go off, drew out of the race,
an then paced two milo heats against
time, limit 2:2O. The first heat was
made by Strong Boy in 2:l94, and
the second heat in 2:l74, being the
fastest time by several seconds ever
made on that track. Next week
Strong Boy goes to Terre Haute,
Ind, where he is entered in the PIG
pace, aud whore he will meet with
q number of the fastest horses in the
country. We have no fears but that
he will come in under the wire,
ahead.
The report that the Ohio River
railroad has purchased the N. N. &
NJ. V. is denied by the people who
ought to know. The deal, in all
probability, has not been made, but
it is reasonably certain that it will
be. The o. R. road was very well
satisfied with the terminal facilities
leased from the C. & o. till it began
to look around for southern outlet.
Then it began line from Guyan-
dotte to Kenova, which means that
it is going south, and their best plan
is by the NJ. V. If that road isn't
bought new line will be built.
To OuTwIr THE BEATs.-Thero is
a movement on foot among the bust
ness men of the city, for an organi-
cation to protect themselves against
bad debtors, by combining and keep
ing each other posted as to certain
classes of accounts and mutually
pledging themselves to refuse credit
to any man having such an account
with any member of the union. A
meeting of the business mon will be
called about the first of next month
to perfect the organization.-POme-
roy Telegraph.
1t would be a good thing for our
business men to organize in the
same manner as is suggested above.
How TO DRAW TRADE.-This age
is too bustling and competition is
too great for the merchant to allow
himself any longer the luxury of
waiting supinely behind his coun-
ter for trade. He must show in
advance of purchases just what he
has to sell and how he intends to
sell it, and persistent publication
of his wares is the means by which
such showing can be made.
Application has been made to the
Secretary of State for charter for
the Point Pleasant Building and
Loan Association. The capital is

That it will be success, their is no
question, for there are so many who
are waiting to so into this new
Building and Loan Association.
The West Virginia Press Aassoci-
alton meets at Parkersburg, Tues
day October 18th, and will be in
session two days. An excursion
has been arranged to go to the

ington races, and two days will be

The warm. weather for the past
few days has had a more depress-
ing effect on those who are working
out of doors than the excessive heat
of mid summer.
Some of the boys of this place
seem to try how rudeIy they can
act on the streets, after night. a
dose of municipal discipline in the
shape of fine, might do them good.
