crop report for June, that the area of

pared with that harvested last year,
has been materially increased.
CAMPING parties have begun to
make their appearance ON the river
below town and more are shortly to
follow. The two already down there
are from Pittsburg. The railroad
will likely detract quite good deal
from the charm of camping on this
side Of the river.
THE excursion to Pittsburg Sun
day was bowling success. There
was quite fair sized delegation
from up the river and the crowd
from here was simply great. Sixty
seven tickets were sold here. The
excursionists report fairly good
time but the heat was too great for
much comfort
THE best business lever is advertis-
ing; newspaper advertising is the
longest lever and the quickest to move
trade. Dull times are the times to put
forth the greatest effort and the most
money. People don't usually ask for
what they have already. Advertising
is merely asking for trade. When the
store is full every day cut down your
space. Don't expect that you will get
a big trade in dull times, but keep
count and you'll find that the adver-
Using was profitable. Profitable right
at the time and enormously profitable
after while.
JOHN Crook, of Middle Bridge,
Hampshire county, W Va, has

says that if the authorities will not
take steps to prevent them from
trespassing on his property he will
have to kill them in self defense in
spite of the law to the contrary.
Other farmers have declared their
intention to make similar complaints.
They say the ravages of the deer
and turkeys are as bad as the army
worm.
LAST Friday some genius started

ton Of the town go about with bad
taste in their mouths. The story
was that while workmen had been
engaged in cleaning out the water
tank the body of babe had been
discovered in it. Every one at once
believed the tale and the I-told-you-
so fiend got in his work in great
shape. Needless to say there was
absolutely nothing in the yarn and
the qualms suffered by people with
keen imaginations were all without
good cause. The person who first
started the story has as yet succeed
ed in concealing his identity.
= CLARKsBURG people are anxiously
asking whether the money left of
the appropriation after Stacking the
river from here to Fairmont may not
be used in pushing the work on to
their town. There will probably be
enough to do the work if the whole
amount could be used. But it can't.
The appropriation was made for a
r1orfipular mart of the rivQr and can
