Budget of News Items from the
Belmont County Metropolis.

The fact that the pension money
came a few days too late to be avail
able coupled with the other fact that
the railroad rates are considered
too high will prevent great many vet
Grams here from attending the national
encampment at Philadelphia. This is
to be deplored as the boys" who
marched to battle in the sixties are get
ting fewer each year and some will
doubtless lose the opportunity to again
meet comrades this side of the last

passenger traffic over the B. & o. for
the past two days has been very heavy,
some of the excursionists coming from
as far west as Kansas and Minnesota.

test in half dozen townships in the
county for second choice it begins to
look as though the alleged loyalty has
a string to it. A second circumstance
that doesn't bode well for the local IA
vorite is the acknowledged strength
