THE condition of Peasants street,
on account of the construction Of the

the pavement is laid on it.
THE crowd here on Monday was
one of the laruest ever seen in the
town and everybody enjoyed the
day to the full. There was not a
single thing to detract from the
pleasure of the occasion.

Mont Chateau. In the several
crowds there were more than hun
dred people.

to improving.
THE work of removing the remains
of the G. W. John property is pretty

WHEN writing to any member of
the West Virginia troops be careful
to put the state on the letter There
are a great number of first regiments
and the state West Virginia should
go on the envelope. Then there will
be very little chance of missing the
man you want to reach.
EVERY section of the county was
well represented here on Monday.
The attendance was greater than
was generally expected notwith-
standing the excursion trains both
ways carried goodly number Of peo-
pie away. Everything passed off ac-
cording to program and fewer un-
pleasant things occurred than usual
for such a crowd.
Duke Dent will pitch this sum
mer for Uniontown having been
signed by them after the game there
on Monday. They are greatly taken
with him and the experience will be
valuable one for him. He will get
many pointers on the game while

fore to the University. He is a
coming ball player.

from w. j. White who is regimental
adjutant with the West Virginia
boys at Chickamauga was read with
interest by everyone. 1t is the first
one to be received by any one since
the regiment reached their present

which they are at present laboring.
SOME editor, no doubt who lived
in a community where the loud
mouthed Office seekers of his party
sponged their reading, was inspired
to write these words: "When you
ask man to subscribe for your pa
per he says; "Oh, never read very
much, besides the times are SO
