day last Thursday.
The fine irongray horse that be-
longed to Floyd Utterback has been
purchased by James F. Snyder.
SOCIETY here has not had spurt
for long time, and society squirt
is one of the grandest things in the
world to the callowgiddy.
PRICE Bros repaired their boiler
during Christmas week. Capt. Far
row put in the faes making a nice
job. 1t takes mechanic to do such
work, and the Captain can't be beat.
THOSE who wish season tickets for
the lecture course would do well to
purchase them before Friday night,
when Col. Sanford will lecture. None

fractions of the course.
A NEW dwelling built by Lewis
Runner, some distance this side of
his present residence in Stringtown,
is completed Ralph Malone has al
so just moved his family into a new
house on the lot adjoining Runner
WHILE there are some children in
town who are affected with scarlet
fever the school board has wisely de-
cided that there shall be no school
for time, and as a result the holi
day vacation is extended to time
as yet indefinite.
QUirE a number of persons were
taken the full membership of
the M. E. Church last Sunday-those
whose probationary connection had
justified promotion. which included,
without exception it is pleasure to
add, the entire class.
THE Adam Jacobs made the first
steamboat landing at the Beechurst
addition on Saturday last, receiving
box of rifles, from the Farrow
Arms Co. for transportation to Pitts
burg. We hope the time is near
when box will be shipped every
day.
INFORMATION is hard to secure as
to just when the Baptists will build
a place Of worship on their fine, beau
tiful)y situated lot on Main street
The inference is that while it is the
intention of the Baptists to build,
just when it will be is matter not
determined.
TIME was when the Office of town
sergeant went begging. and not SO
very long ago. It is said that there
are now several aspirants for the
place. A good rule for the fathers
to follow in disposing of this piece
of municipal patronage would be to
"let we'll enough alone"
The distance east is nearer, con-
sequently cheaper, by way of Con-
nellsville, and when trains are put on
the now completed F. M. q P. most
of the travel from this section will
be in that direction. 1t is also a
nearer, quicker and more pleasant
route west than by way Of Wheeling.
AT recent institute held by the
teachers of Clay district considera-
BILE time was devoted to oratorical
appeals for longer school term in
that district. 1t was the general
opinion that the school term should
be longer. The. opportunity is at
hand to make the term longer, and it
should be done.

frai in Than h11u in hau
meal and flour at Victor Mills where
fifteen cars have just arrived all
bought at the lowest point reached
in the recent great decline in prices.
For the next thirty days will give you
the benefit of these low prices. Mark
ct is now moving upward. Take
time by the forelock and buy now.
If you want prompt and careful
attention given your orders for flow
ers, floral designs, potted plants and
everything in that line, send your Or
ders to King & Jenkins, Grafton.
This firm is composed of two worthy
ladies. They are careful in business,
are very tasty and will supply you

New students are here in great
number since the holidays. Such q
decided increase in the attendance
was hardly expected. butis neverthe-
less gratifying. There were Is of
the new acknowledgements who
never before had entered any of the
classes. The total number of stu
dents now in attendance is 1872, by
far the largest number.previously en-
rolled at one time.
THIS paper would willingly pub
lish the names of those who did the
dire deviltry last Saturday night
around town, If charges we're brought
against them. 1t was a good piece
of work for the officers to secure the
names, and to do it without arous-
ing the suspicious of the perpetra-
tors. Now let the boys who were
not so very slick after all, either
confess quietly or be prosecuted pub
licly.
A NEW social entertainment which
is great success is the "tackey"
party. Each person attempts to be
as "tackey"-not as ridiculous-in
dress as possible and the gentlemen
and lady succeeding best is each
gi en- prize. Dried apple pie,
ginger cakes and water are served
as refreshments. The rooms are
lighted with old fashioned tallow
candles. 1t is way to have loads
of fun.
The will of the late Michael Reil-
ly is being holly contested in the
courts at Wheeling. 1t may be the
verdict that the will shall stand but
it is drawn as near the verge of acts
condemned as contrary to public
policy as will can be without going
over. 1t is unjust and harsh in its
provisions and extremely unpopular,
and shows that, whatever Mr.. Reilly's
faults, parenta, affection was not one
of them.
The boardwalk to the pump sta
tion is double plank width as far up
as Aaron Smiths, but beyond that
is but Of 12inch plank width. 1t
is laid on crossties for the extra
width to be put on some time in the
future. The boardwalk scheme
started out we'll, but this one plank
feature for SO much of the distance,
while better than no walk at all. is
squeezing the matter too closely. 1t
is defect, an commission to be hasti-
