intention of doing so, and that, the
Shirley had "come to stay
Our readers are familiar with the
rivalry between the Stanley and the
Shirley for the river traffic. The
Huntington Commercial tells this
story: "The Shirley, an opposition
boat to the Bay Line, has this sign
on her front: we haze come to
stay When she landed here on
one of her down trips recently, Il
disgusted individual was heard to
remark: Don't this beet hi!
Here I've been waiting nearly all
day for this boat and now she has
come to stay
The Pittsburg and Cincinnati
packet line will be reorganized in
few days and after the first of next
month will be operated as a stock
concern, a charter having been
secured several days ago. Hereto
fore the owners of the various boats
in the line have inst shared in the
profits of the boat in which they
owned stock.
Hicks FOR JUNE.-A bout the 10th
it will begin to grow excessively
warm, which will increase during
the 1lth and 18th, or until general
storms of rain, thunder and wind
result. A series of storms each
afternoon and evening for several
days, will likely occur at this tims,
running into the secondary disturb
anees about 18th and 18th. The
10th, to 18th, is a regular storm
period right at the crisis of June
sOlistice. Heavy rains and violent
electrical and atmospheric perturb-
atiOns will be natural. Bright,
pleasant days and nights will follow
up to 2Sth The month ends warm
and stormy.
Next to sweet, fresh butter as a
digestibIe fat, comes bacon which,
when delicately broiled, is as deIici-
Gus as it is nutritious. 1t is said to
be the process of curing that
changes pork which in its fresh state
is so hard for delicate stomach to
assimiIate. The fiber is so close
that the digestive fluids do not
readily act upon it. Mrs. Abel, who
is an authority on the chemistry OF
foods, says: Bacon has come to
rival cod-liver oil as a cure for con-
sumption"
W. B. McGregor, Secretary, of
Fairmont, wants the names of every
Superintendent and Secretary of
Sunday Schools in w. Va, so that
he can furnish them with a copy of
the minutes of the State Sunday
School Convention recently held in
Clarksburg, and also to open up
correspondence with them for future
work. Let every one interested in
the work see that such names are
sent to Mr.. McGregor at the earliest
possible moment.
CHILDREN DAY.-On Sunday
evening Trinity NJ E. Church was
crowded to its utmost capacity to
witness Children's Day. The flow
er decorations of the church were
beautiful. The little children per-
formed their parts well, and the ex-
cellent program was carried out
fully The solos rendered by Miss
Hattie Congrove captured the au-
dience, and merited their praises
The collection taken up on this oc-
casiOn was for foreign missions.
CORRECT You ARE.-In your re-
marks, on the vandals that beset
you for flowers, gall is little mild,
it don't fully portray the character
of the one that make demands for
flowers. They are cheeky, as
government mule" and kick quite
as hard, if their wishes are not
gratifed. A VICTIM.
