MARI Hanna is engaged lust now

Mark Hanna is engaged just now
in explaining to the old soldiers
why he did not take part in the
war. He says, and of course it is
the truth, that his Pa couldn't let
him fight for his country, but he
did the next best thing, he hired
two substitutes. No doubt he
would rather that a dozen others
should face the enemy than that he
should be a target for bullets. His
loyalty then, like his patriotism
now, was based on dollars and
cents.-Parkersburg Sentinel.

Farmers through the county in
lots of localities are compelled to
haul water for some distance, a
great many of them to water their
stock with, also for household use.
1t is said water was never known
to be so scarce, wells and springs
that never were known to be dry
have not a drop of water in them.

families partook heartily; shortly
afterwards, they all were taken
very sick. Doctors were summon

was necessary. 1t is supposed the

Constant complaint has been
made by citizens of the failure on
the part of the conductors of freight
trains both on the Ohio River and
K. & NJ, railroads to ont their
trains at Eleventh street, and the
K. & M. crossing respectively.
This matter came up before the
Council last night and it was de-
cided to take imperative action in
having the convenience of the pub
lie served in this respect. Orders
were issued to the Marshal and
police to arrest the engineers and
conductors of trains on either road
disregarding the right of way, and
failing to cut their trains at the
points mentioned. 1t has to be
said in all common fairness to the
officers of the companies referred
to, and their local agents, that the
fault does not lie with them, as
bulletins and notices have frequent
ly been issued to their servants de-
handing their attention to this
matter. The Town Council is in
earnest now and every offender in
future will be at once arrested with
out respect to persons, and some
effort will be made to secure the
comfort and safety of the citizens.
