The Nuzum fort is the only one
which will run during the holidays
the others being temporarily closed.
PASSENGER traffic on the boats has
been quite duh for some time but the
freight and produce business is BOOM
ing.
THE candy display at MADEIRA Bros.
Is especially fine and reflects great
credit upon the taste of this hustling
firm.
The local lodge Knights of Pythi-
as has been quite active recently
and have added number of names
to their roll.
FROM the latest reliable informa-
ton it is now known that old Santa
Claus is still undecided whether to
buy sled or gum boots.
The eighth of next month being
the anniversary of Andrew jackson S
birth will be fittingly observed by
Democrats all over the country.
CAPT. j. r. MILLER was very sue

fourteen rabbits in one afternoon.

many ways. We had the greatest
rains, the highest rivers and the hot
test weather known for many years.
The picket fence around the resi-
dence of George Rogers on Wiley
street has been torn down and will
be replaced shortly with a new one.
NORMAN WHARTON mashed his
hand rather severely on the wharf last
week, and was prevented from work
ing for several days as consequence.
Mr.. BENNY WILLIAMS is making a
great success of SINNERS Tavern at
Fairmont. 1t is the favorite hotel of
Fairmont and is growing more popu-
lar every day.
JACOB YESTERDAY has finished his
new house on Sunnyside and moved

will help to maintain the reputation
of that suburb for pretty homes.
The image of Santa Claus stand
ing by a Christmas tree in McVick-
er's store window has set the young
idea nearly wild and admiring
crowds are to be seen in front of it
all the time.
SOME of the crossings in town are
almost impossible every time it
rains on account of the large amount
of mud which has collected on them.
1t might be a good idea to clean a
few of them.
THE law lectures did not stop until
Tuesday and those disguised young
men who were seen recently stalking
around the streets were either lawyers
or props who had not heard from
home. In either case the expression

One of the props from Hampshire
county being unused to carrying a
valise, when starting for home don
ned three suits of Undertaking. 1t

A number of friends gave surprise
party to Rev. w. G. Davis of the

who spend their time on the street
corners to ogle and make remarks
about the girls who pass and the girls

they will be very glad to see visitors
and to show them over the plant.

farmers and Others who were selling
home made tobacco twisted or stem
med in any form without paying the
special tax and giving bond as requir-
ed by the federal law are likely to get

as best pleases him.

find that the first glass made was ex-
Vent and it bids fair to continue
Hhey have not yet tried
