Another notable improvement Is the
new gallery, or enlargement Of the old
one, in the main hall, by means Of which
the total seating capacity Of the audito-
rum in front Of tho band-stand has been

fact that the musical outlook in Pittsburg
for tho coming season is brighter than

cclipsed for the time. Though you can
not get in there to SEQ, the interior Of the
theatres presents the same spectacle-the

There is no place in Pittsburg where
the hum Of preparation during August Is
louder than in the huge pile of red brick

the workmen have been busy getting the

now rapidly approaching. Every day

at tho Exposition, for the exhibitors have
their booths and show-ca to prepare,
and there Is o race to see who shall sur

The management Of the Exposition has
set good example to every one by max
Ing many important improvements, In
Guiding q change or two that will be o
genuine surprise to all who visit the Ex-

where the picture galleries were last

Because it is spring election do not
think it is unnecess airy to vote. The
township and town elections come closer
to the people than any others and con-
sequently should be the more earnestly
participated in by every voter. Good
government should begin at home, and
unless good citizens see that good men
are selected the other class will see that
bad men are chosen and bad government
perpetuated. Too many are likely to
think that local elections are of little i'm
portance, while they are of the highest
Importance. 1t is important in every
way to have good government in st.
Clairsville and in Richland township and
in every other township and town in the
county. The Republicans offer a ticket
that can not be excelled and it should be
elected from top to bottom. If the people
turn out it will be elected. There is not
man on the municipal or township
ticket but what is better qualified for the
position for which he is nominated than
his opponent and it is in the interest of
good local government that Republicans
be chosen.

The present method of running the
town clock on local rather than railroad
time, is an annoyance to all who have
anything to do with RAILROADS. But while
it is run by this time, some reference
ought be had to the travelers's convent
ence. The noon train ought to leave at
1901 by the clock, but as matter of fact
the clock very seldom strikes before the
train has gone. 1t is not the fault of the
trains, but it is the fault of the clock,
and it causes many persons to miss the
train.
