The Moss Jollity Co. Coming.

The above clever attraction is book
ed to appear here on next Tuesday
evening, October ?, at the Central
Opera House, where they will present
for the first time here their new COM
edy extravaganza 1.-The Kodak The
play comes to us set to new music, and
embellished with new costumes, and
witty sayings, and as presented is a
bright and mirth provoking comedy.
The Wheeling Register in a recent
publication has this to say: "a large
audience greeted the Moss Jollity
Company at the Opera House last
evening, aud judging from the enthu-
siastic applause accorded them, the au-
dieuce were highly pleased. The play
The Kodak, abounds in rnirth- pro-
vokiug scenes, and number of must
cal specialties were introduced, on
every imaginable instrument, which
were handled in very skillful man
ner. We bespeak for them crowded
houses at the performance tonight,
and the matinee tomorrow afternoon,
as they are deserving of a liberal pat
ronage. A very pleasing feature OF
the entertainment was the inimitable

A HAPPY HOME,

A home where hearts do dwell,
In unison so sweet.
Where angry surges never swell,
And harmony is complete.
This is the place to rest,
Our weary, tired feet,
From earth's cold wintry blast,
Or summers scorching heat.
As the day draws to a close,
And our hearts are lone,
Oh, what joy then to repose,
In our own happy home.
Then homeward vending his way,
When the toll of day is DER,
The laborer, whose heart may say,
There's loved one at the door"
For this life can never give,
With all of its pleasure,
A home where happiness lives.
Unless love lie the measure.

Great reduction in the price OF
dishes and fneChina ware at Kilmer' S
China Hall, Martinsburg. The new
tariff law makes dishes cheaper. which
means a loss of several hundred dol
lars on stock on hand but we think
the first loss is the best and the dish

bills of China ware you purchase out
of stock on hand at the time the new
tariff law went into effect, you will
