The Infallible Man

There was man who never made
A blunder In his life;
He loved girl, but was afraid
II she became his wife
That he or she might rue the day
That brought them bliss, and so
He put the happiness away
That welded lovers know.
One day the man who never made
Mistakes perceived the way
That led to fame, but, still, afraid,
Drew back and stole away;
He Stunned the winding paths that led
To distant. unseen ends,
And kept the road that stretched ahead
With neither sleeps nor bends.
At last the man who never made
Mistakes fell by the way:
In garments that were badly frayed
And pale and starved he lay:
No weeping friend bent Ger him there,
Nor servant, child nor wife;
But victory was his-he ne'er
Had blundered in his life.

Couldn't Keen the Secret,

Mr.. David Becker and Miss Maggie
Kidd, of Cow Run, had decided to get
married and keep the fact a secret
from their friends for a awhile, at
least, but they failed signally in keep
ing the secret.
Miss Kidd came to town Wednesday
and stayed with a married sister who
lives on Fourth street until Thursday
morning and then started to Parkers-
burg, meeting Mr. Becker on the train.
They proceeded to Parkersburg and
were married there very quietly, of
course, and returned to this city, Mr..
Becker going back to his home and
Mrs. Becker going to her home.
But the best laid plans o. mice and
men gang aft agley" was just as true
in this case as in any other, and her
friends here were apprised of the af-
fair by an evening paper reporting the
fact that a license had been granted
for their marriage in Parkersburg. 1t
is no doubt a well known fact in their
own neighborhood by this time and
their friends are congratulating them
today.

Operations on the j. Mosier have
been delayed several rays, owing to an
accident to the machine.
The well on the John Edgerton farm
for Marietta parties, was drilled to a
depth of 300 feet and no sand was
found. The well will probably be drill

Owing to an accident with the cas-
ing the Hiatt well was abandoned last

A Saloon FIGHT,

fight occurred in Caskey's saloon
tor of the place and a man whose name
we have been utterly unable to learn
exchanged some severe blows with
beer glasses and other articles that
came handy. The cause of the trouble
seems to have been some very trivial
affair, but the fight was not so travail.
The unknown man received a cut in
the forehead anu some severe bruises
about the face and body. No arrests
were made. Inere are so many con-
fiicting stories in circulation regarding
the affair that it is next to impossible
to tell anything definite about it.
