music was rendered by Mr.. Fred Doan,
of st. Marys, the singing by a selected
choir, consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. r. A.
Flesher, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. e. Sayre, the
grocer, Mr.. and Mrs. Sayers, the book
keeper of Peasants county bank, Mrs.
A. H. Stanley, Miss Blanch Ruttencut-
ter, Miss Gussie Riggs. Miss Bella CHS
holm and Mr. e. 7. Weber, all of this
place. The music and singing was pro-
nounced excellent. Speeches were
made by several. Mr. Clyde B. John
son, lawyer of st. Marys bar, made
an excellent speech, his theme being
the different phases of Odd Fellowship,
and what Odd Fellowship has been in
the past and what it will be in the next
century, as compared with the past.
Speeches were also made by Mr.. Robert
Anderson the Noble Grand of the
Lodge; by A. Lebaron, Chaplain, and
others. After the evenings programme
was rendered at the hall, they all re-
/ tired to the Haddox Hotel, where an ell
egant supper was prepared, which was
enjoyed by ALL Mr. Raymond Haddox,
the young, genial and accomplished
proprietor of the Haddox, spared no ex-
pense or pains to make it pleasant for
the members and visitors. 1t seems to
be his nature to please and accommo-
date his patrons. The crowd dispers-
ed at about 49, 80 o'clock, after a very
enjoyable evening.
The moral universe was very much
shocked Thursday by the apprehension
and trial of young man for an alleged
criminal assault upon a young woman
OF Peasants county which upon inyes-
tigation before Justice Boss, at st.
Marys, resulted in the acquittal of the
young man. Mr.. J. F. Barrows, the
attorney for the defendant, by his close
scrutiny of the facts and circumstances
surrounding the case, was able TO pre-
sent them so clearly before the JUS
tice that he, in his usual good judg-
ment. decided to dismiss the case. Most
likely. as in many such cases, the
young lady sought to justify her own
depravity by thus resorting TO a crimi-
nal proceeding against her young lover.
The community extends sympathy in
such cases, but cannot justify her. af-
ter the facts revealed by her in evil
dence, are learned.
Mr.. Easton Randolph, attorney, OF
Sistersville, visited our city this week
on legal business.
C. II. Miffin, Of Chicago. Andrew
Weaver, of Pittsburg, representative
business men, were registered at the
Haddox Hotel the first OF the week.
The names OF J. H. Pringle. of Mari
eta, Ohio, J. r. Coen, of Warrington,
W. Va, Fl. Buchard. of Cincinnati, o.,
and Albert Akers, OF Washington, d.
c., also appear on the register OF the
Haddox as business visitors TO our city.

"The present fall OF temperature over .

what Makes Beauty :?

Beauty is made or narred by the blood.
When the blood is impure, the cheeks
grow sallow, the eyes dull, the hair loses
its luster. When the blood flows through
the veins in a pure, rich current, the
eyes sparkle, the skin is clear, the COM
