BELLAIRE


A week of fine entertainments has closed,
and surely the people Of Bellaire had vari-
ETY. enough TO select from. The Mother
Goose'' was well rendered and well pa
troniZed. The society cleared about SlOO.
THE Limited Mail mad about the largest
house OF the season. The lecture by the
Rev. DR.. A. 3. Riker was hne produc-
ton of a splendid lecturer, snd on wide
and useful subject, what will we do with
the boys" it was well patronized. Then
comes the Xmas Market an unique
bazaar given Dy the ladies' OF the First
Presbyterian church. IL paid the prolec-
tors very well for their efforts, and showed
that master hand was at the helm. The
ID. OF L. Fair was not so well attended,
though the lEdies worked hard and inces-
sanity TO make it success ana really sue
ceeded in giving fine fair aud
festival, : yet there was lack
of interest among It's patrons that
was discouraging. Still the Daughters
deserve great praise for their energy aud
cleared some money, but not near as much
as their work deserved. This next week
we will have kind of vacation, until
Thursday, as there is not much on hand,
but the week after is the w. X. Z. fair and
festival and the ST. Johns church fair and
festival, both of which will have strong
pull on the public OF Bellaire, and both will
work their pull for all IL is worth. We say
success TO both.
Yesterday was a dull, misty, warm,
sultry day; just the kind OF day 10 worry
the grocers and game dealers. Dressed
poultry and game would not keep very
long, and there being lots Of both in town,
besides supply OF oysters and hsh, all OF
which are hard TO keep, makes the dealers
anxious 10 sell out quick, thus cutting
prices and knocking profits for all.
Last week was one Of steady run or our
factories, every one making full time or
nearly so, and cheering the workmen and
merchants with the prospects OF q better
market for both wages and goods. Siill
there are some that can't see any improve
ment in our community, and claim that
Bellaire has been IN the worst straits or
any town about here. Has iti IL so we
have reason TO be very thankful 70 the
Almighty Provider For Bellaire has not
suffered; though pinchsd some, still there
has been no real suffering among US, moth
ing more than our own citizens could easily
relieve. Therefore If we were the worst,
then there has been a lot more suffering
''on paperp than in reality. And there has
been a heap more crying over hard times
than was needed. But anything TO cry
down the party in power
In making our rounds over the city we
were particularly attracted 10 the hue dis
PLAYS of Gus merchants. notion dealers and
confectioners in their show windows. II
looks as If 1t would be superfuous for our
citizens 10 20 out of town for Christmas
presents or candies, as we can get ABOUT
ANYTHING we want at home and will be
helping our own townspeople TO make a
living.
I ID. Cousins, pastor OF the Church Of
God in lower town, expects to take quite a
circuit to-day. In the forenoon Us will
preach to the old soldiers OF Yorkville, and
the services will be very interesting and
instructive. In the afternoon he will preach
10 the people OF Deep Run, and AZ night
will again preach 10 the people OF Martins
Ferry.
