THE excursions have not been as
numerous this season as they were
expected but they will no doubt be
! gin to come up in large numbers as
the season grows older.
! THE arrangements for Chadwick
day are coming ON nicely and the idea

DOT been here for many years are send
ing contributions and making in.

| WHILE the snake season is far adj
vanced there have been but few first
class snake lies brought in to town
| this summer The old residenters
who are accustomed to hunting the
snakes on their native heath will have
to bestir themselves.
THE sidewalks all over town should
be fixed up while the pavements are
being laid and then it will not he as
hard to get them to looking even and
pretty. When the paving is done and
the town cleaned up every thing
should be looking its best.
| The curve at the lower end of the
Blackbottle is very short one but
to the railroad people all things are
possible and they will make it all
right. They will have their trains
running over it before very many
moons.
| SEND tramps to some of the men
about town who are anxious to hire
laborers and do not give them bite
to eat Any other plan is simply
encouraging dead beats to remain
idle living off the fruits of others in
dustry.
The windows have been placed in
the new store room next to the post
office and the other improvements
are we'll under way. 1t will make
one of the incest rooms in town for
the purpose and is very desirable

| A NOTE received at this Office from
Rev. l. A. Barnes written on Satur-

HEREAFTER the devotional meet
ings of the Epworth League will be
held on Sunday night at seven O'Clock.
The literary meetings will take place
as before on the first Monday night of
every month. The change was es-
tablished on last Sunday when the
first devotional meeting was held at
the church on this night.
IT would be very pleasing to us if
the people who have little social
events at their homes would send us
some notes in regard to them. 1t is
impossible for us to find out about all
of these events and it would help us
very materially If those who give them
would drop us few lines about them
or call us up on the phone and give
them in.
MAIN street has been cleaned off
under the direction of the chairman
of the street committee and an effort
will be made to keep it cleaner than
it has been since the pavement went
down. There will be better chance
afforded the committee to do Ghis
after all of the pavements get down
than they have been having.
On July 9th Rutter's Band OF
Uuiontown will give an excursion
from Brownsville to Morgantown and
return on the Steamer Mason. They
will make it one Of the most pleasant
events of the year for those who take
in the trip and will be received here
with open arms. We are always glad
to see Rutter's band and will try to
make them feel at home when they
come into the town.
THE railroad company in counting
up the amount of business done by
the new train takes into account only
the tickets for Pittsburg that are sold
for it. This is unfair but it is the way
they are doing and those who are in
terested in seeing that the train is
kept on should take the opportunity
of going on this train when they make
the Pittsburg trip. We can only re-
tain it by having it to do good bust
ness and it is very important that it
be retained.
A LETTER received yesterday from
Captain Chadwick by friend here
among great many other things
says: ssYour carvings on in West Vir
GINA have not occurred without some
thing of what you are doing coming
even this far. To say that am much
touched by all this and that / feel deep
ly greatful to you all is to put it in {
mild way. You all may be sure tina
though my absence has been long it has
not stalled my love for my native hills
nor my memory for my old friends.
A MAN who orders his paper "re-
fused at the postoffice when he
owes a years subscription, is Meth
er a good citizen nor an honest man
we care not who he is or where h,
halls from. He may get along fairly
well in this life, at the same time
knowing that he has defrauded the
printer, but there will come time
when, standing before the bar in tht
great hereafter Saint Peter will
stamp him refused" and peremp
