the hope of deer hunt this fall,
and deep down in their breasts they
hope TO beat the record Of Joseph,
Allebaugh aud Barthlow, who did
so well in Webster.
THE band played very sweetly
Wednesday evening and it is to be
hoped that the bill is paid. The band
is concern that must be encouraged
and kept in good humor, for it will
only be year till we will have many
calls to make of it.
The Schumann Quartet will be
here on Saturday evening. This at
traction is one of the extras" which
the Banner Lecture Course has been
able TO procure for the delectation
of the people. 1t is a musical or
ganization of great merit.
INsoMUcH as the Independent is
responsible for the statement that
Geo. G. Sturgiss saw the terminus"
of the Worlds Fair, it might be ap-
propriate to inquire which end he
saw and what he did with it after
seeing it. An impatient public
awaits the Independents reply.
THERE is nearly always dissatis-
fed element is town or community
that binders the general prosperity.
People Of this. class would as well
seek homes elsewhere, though they
would be of no greater value there.
They hinder the progress of enter
prising and goa head citizens. A
town will not be attractive or very
prosperous unless all it's people are
public spirited and work in harmony.
Our BOOSTERS are being enlarged
and having new sets of casehardened
steel lungs put in. There will be
abundant use for them next year.
when our own West Virginia will
teach the country few Democratic
things they will remember in '96 and
then go and do likewise. 1t is long
time till '96. but to the Democratic
brethren of the press we would now
take occasion to advise to have their
birds in good Growing order.
Mrs. ROSE FLEMING, of Fairmont,
whose daughter was killed by stone
rolling off the bill above the South
Side, Pittsburg, and crushing her
head as she sat in seat on a NOV
ing train on the Panhandle couple
of years ago, brought suit against
the company and gained it in the
county court, but the Supreme
Court, sitting at Pittsburg the other
day, handed down an opinion revers-
ing the finding of the lower court.
THE Hilarity Club is determined
to cause the increase and multiply
ing of the finny tribe at the camp
grounds over Cheat. They received
on Monday large number of small
bass from Washington procured
from the government fisheries by
Congressman Wilson, and on Tues
day +. Shisler placed the fish in the
river at Camp Eden. They will grow
and be ready to spawn in the spring,
and if nothing unforeseen occurs the
bass supply in that portion of Cheat
will be doubled and trebled in a
few months.
SERGEANT BENNETT was not wear
ing his usual smile Monday. "Why
are you so dreadfully in the doleful
dumps, Timothy" was natural
query. He told why. He says that
milo persuasion don't have any eff
feet on people who owe back taxes,
land I'm going to sell property for
the amounts. They seem deter
mined to not pay, but the money
must.be Forthcoming, so they needn't
be surprised at force measures at
any time" Judging from these en-
phatic statements it would seem that
there are a few people who will find
that they have urgent and immedi
ate business with the officer.
HARRY KuNsT has taken bis dog
to his home in Taylor county. Be
tween Harry's fondness for the dog
and the dogs affection for Omer
Snider there was an Inconsistency in
the training for the beast that Harry
contemplated that could only be adj
justed by removing the much pur-
chased canine to scenes where his
former owner would not be surround
ed with the repeated chance of quick
sales. If a drama were to be written
of the scenes in which that yaller
dog had TO undergo many changes of
ownership, while Harry remained his
true owner all the time, the list of
characters would be legion.
New ear corn is being shipped in
to this county from points in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, freiehts paid
and sold at from 10 to Is cents per
bushel less than our farmers can af
ford to raise or sell it at. Why this
difference? Lower freights than ever
good crop in the West, cheaper
lands and the use of all labor saving
machinery which the level surface
and freedom from rocks and stumps
in the west enable the western farm
er to use, combined, with the general
depression in business, to put prices
lower than ever. Taking advantage
of these circumstances the Victor
Mills Co., is offering new ear corn at
lower figures for cash than at any
time before this fall
Own a house. No matter how
small, no matter how modest, no
matter if you have to run in debt
for it. 1t pays you in the long run.
1t cheers you every day. 1t makes
you look more like a man. 1t adds
to the value of property and gives
you stimulus that nothing else
can give. Go into town where a
majority own the houses they live in
and then go into a town, composed
of class who cannot or think they
cannot buy permanent home.
Note the difference. In the first
instance you see neat homes, that
vary in design, and all around are
evidences that show plainly that the
people who live there have an inter
est besides seeing that the rent is
paid.
It's hard for the local G.. o. p. to
recover from the dose they got last
year. The disappointment then at
a failure of opportunity to howl has
been kept in condition to let go at
the merest Whit of something repub-
lican, and their Ohio news, unsub-
stantial, immaterial as off year cleo
tions are, was signal for an i'm
promptu and unframed hurrah,
