DoS'T forget the gift festival on
the rev addition on the evening of
the fourth.
The town of Point Pleasant sent
up five young men yesterday. There
ought also to have been that many
young ladies from there
IF we want band we should help
the young men who are working for
it. So we ought to attend their fes-
tival on the evening OF the fourth.
A MARRIAGE license was issued
few days ago in Uniontown to Frank
E. Snyder who gave Morgantown as
his residence and Mary L. Boord Of
Gibsonton.
IT is said that Chief Clerk |.
Woodward Parks will take charge of
the company's wharf boat at Pitts
burg in few days and will reside

WE are likely to have lots more
good weather before winter really be-
gins and it is to be hoped that one Of
the pretty days that are to be given
us will be Chadwick Day.
THE fellows arrested in Fairmont
a few days ago charged with robbing
a car were held to await the action Of
the grand jury. One OF the men Will
liam Cole was native Of Cassville.
The piles Of brick should be remov-
ed from the side. walks over town.
This has been started in some parts
of the town and the good work should
be kept up until there are none of the
things left in the city.
THE industrial activity here is
phenomenal. Every man who is avail
able has employment and many more
could be used. Even the Seneca Glass
Works is cramped for help. They
advertise in another column for fifty
boys who can find immediate employ
ment.
REV. L A. CORE will deliver

also preach at Laurel Point at 10 a.
m, Dolls Run at 3 p. m. and at

THE members of the Baptist asso-
citation will probably come in for the
big celebration that begins on the
day before the sessions of the associa-
tion are ready to start. They will
want to see the blow out and will get
on the ground early. About three
hundred are expected.
SOME people don't take paper De-
cause they can't read; Others don't be-
cause they haven't time to read; some
know all the news in little county
paper without reading; but the latter
class wear out great deal of shoe
leather and spend great deal of time
gadding about over the country to get
it.
THE frost on Saturday night was
the heaviest this year. The air took
a sudden turn down towards the cold
end OF the thermometer and ice was
frozen in many places. This is almost
unprecedented but the weather bureau
states that the GOODNESS will soon give
place to warm wave of varying du-
ration.
A LETTER has been received stat.
ing that the Wellsburg company
cannot be here Chadwick Day. Ev
eryone regrets this but we hope.that
they may get here some other time.
The Terra Alta company under Cap
tain B. F. Scott will be here in full
force as will the Piedmont company
under Captain c. w. Cramer.
The term of enlistment for which
the recruits now going into the vol
unteer service is until the Both of
June 1901 when they will be dis
charged and sent back to their places
of enlistment. They will have trav-
ell pay and an allowance for rations
that will bring the total up to much
more than the amount thought by
most of people. Several hundred
dollars will be due each man when
he is ready to start home again.
THERE are great things ahead for
Point Marion. The new glass plant
there will add probably two thousand
people to the population and the vast
coke plants being built Immediately
North of there will add greatly to it.
The coke industry is gradually extend
ing South and in few years the
whole country between here and Pitts
burg will be continuous city. The
lamented James G. Blaine in his day
predicted that it would be.
The apple crop is being picked
rapidly and before long it will all
have been gathered in. The APP
proach of hard frosts is the reason
for the hurry in getting the fruit in
doors. 1t is said by gentleman
who has been over a good part of
the state this summer that the APP
Piles universally are a poor crop ow-
ing to the fact that they have fallen
off badly during the season. Those
that have survived are of not very
good quality
