The ladies literary club spent a
half day picnicing at Camp Eden on
Cheat few days ago. They had a
delightful afternoon. There were
twenty-one in the party and only
two horrid men, so the ladies had
things all their own way.

If it wasn't for the ladies-well we
], would miss them very much about

the church.
j. c. HAMILTON agent for the
Adams Express Company at Con-
nellsville has been arrested on a
charge of embezzlement There is
shortage of 1856 in his accounts
that he seems to know nothing about
and his books do not show where it
is. Hamilton is quite popular and
has been in the company's employ
for a long time.
THE M. e. Church at Granville,
this county, is undergoing extensive
repairs. The building has been raised
two feet six inches. New windows
are TO be put in and the church is to
be painted and papered. To finish

ming next, Sept. 4th, to which an in
vitation is extended to all persons.
THE postoffice here is growing in
business to such an extent that the
salary will be 81, 900 at the close of the
present fiscal year. There is not a
vacant box in the Office now and this
week will witness an addition of about
400 to the population most of whom
are letter writer. Seventy new lock
boxes and numb Der of others will be
put in by Postmaster Wharton al
once.
Much regret and some impatience
, is manifest over the delay in begin
ming work on the locks and dams
The delay is due to the failure Of
the contractor to execute a proper
bond. 1t seems probable that new
bids will have to be asked for and
by that time the fall will be too far
advanced to begin. 1t has been sug
gested that the contract be awarded
to the next lowest bidder, but the
War Department seldom does bust
ness that way.
In conversation with lady last
Sunday we learned that she greatly
lamented the change that had come
over Morgantown: She said: "Thert
is an absence of that sanctified quiet
that once pervaded everything il
Morgantown. Years ago there was
no noise, the streets were quiet, ev
cry one went to church and there
was no racket of any kind. To-day

strangers passed, buggies and car.
