Yesterday Richard Farley, an old
time Bellaire iron worker, arrived in
the city from Paris, Ky. Mr.. Farley
was one Of the original promoters of
the Bellaire Nail Company, which was
the predecessor of the steel plant and
was identified with the manufacturing
interests of the city for many years. He
has now settled down to a quiet life on
a farm at Paris, and has not been in
Bellaire for fifteen years previous to
his present visit.
The work of erecting the booths for
the street fair on Guernsey street is
progressing rapidly and will be COM
pleted by the middle of the week. At
fractions for the midway have nearly
all been secured, exhibits are being pre-

and the outlook generally is propitious
for a big time. The management has
just gotten out a handsome souvenir

the inscription: u. r. X. of P. Street

and is applied TO an ~obstruetionist, or q
person that would grab you by the coat
tail when you have your foot in the
