Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, December b
That the fair to be given by the members
of the J. T. Jones Hose Company Will
be a success, is beyond question There
is not man, woman or child in the city
that is not taking an active interest N
the fair and in fact the fair is the prln-
cipal topic of conversation everywhere
you go. The committee appointed to go
around and call on the merchants and
find out what they would donate to
make the fair a go, have been meeting
with unlimited success, and the NUMBER
of things donated so far is enormous.
There has not been person in any OF
the various walks of life represented
in the city who have been called on but
what have donated something toward
making the affair the success 1t de-
serves to be. All the arrangements for
the different entertainments to be given
during the progress of the fair, are be-
ing perfected very rapidly; those who
attend Will be agreeably entertained in
great many ways. Some Of the best
talent in the city will take part in the
entertainments, and they will be first
class in every particular.
Mrs. d. T. Thistle entertained her
nieces to-day at her handsome home on

The thought has struck quite a num-
Der Of people that such arrangements
might be made as would prevent the
shutting off of the city water all over
the city at unreasonable hours whenever
private connections are to be made. For
instance, it has occurred to some that
the work might be done at night, and
not at the time when it would incon-
venience almost the entire city. The
plumbers who do this work are we'll
paid for it, the city IS well paid for it,
and it should, whenever possible, be
done at a time when the least inconven-
fence would be suffered.
