the road.

the same character. They tell us to
look out for six weeks of mean wealth
er.
WHEN the moon gets little
brighter there will be the finest driv-
ing in trip to Cheat that has ever
been had around here. The roads are
just right and the dust is not deep
enough to be troublesome as yet.
Local laborers who will not work
on the railroad and locks can only
have themselves to blame when the
importation OF other men from out
side is put into practice by the people
who have charge Of the improve
ments.
A GREAT many people left town for
an outing on Sunday Nearly every
team in town was out. 1t has be-

recreation and great many people
have fallen into the habit.

severe storm on Sunday afternoon.

tighter than a drum head. A few
of them have not gotten things fixed
up enough to leave yet but they
will all be out of town shortly.
WHAT is the matter that there are

summer without picnics is not right.
Something ought to be done All
the transforms that we have been
having and no picnics. It's out of
the question.
THERE is a great deal of building go

ing done.

trouble to secure the thirty needed.
PLENTY of green apples are com
ing into town and are selling at
prices that are not very high consid
ering the prophecies that have been
made Of the failure of the crop. There
will be plenty of apples before the
season is over but in some localities
they will be scarce.
AN exchange says it takes a rich

draw attention, horse to draw a
cart, porous plaster to draw the
skin, topper to draw cork, a free
lunch to draw a crowd and an adver-
tisement in your home paper to draw
