Rain in Streaks.

The rains the past few days have
been decidedly local, judging from the
reports from various sections of the
county. Marietta and vicinity have
received more than a bounteous share
Of the falling drops, but in other To-
callties the rains have Travelled In
streaks. A gentleman from near
Warner told us yesterday that during
the past two weeks. there had not been
enough rain to hinder the farmers
from working corn. In other parts of
the county, however, the ground has
been so moist that the corn could not
be cultivated and the showers followed
by warm sunshine have added greatly
to the growth of the weeds.
Carrier William Buck, of the Rural
Delivery service, says that he stood on
a hill several miles above the city yes
terday, where he could see a long dis
tance in every direction. A half mile
to the west the sun was shining and a
force Of men were at work cutting
wheat, while the same distance to the
eastward, the rain was falling in tor
rents.

"Old Horse" Sale at Parkers
burg.

The "Old Horse" sale, which means
an accumulation of unclaimed express
packages at the U. S. Express office,
was held today on Fifth street, and
was attended by several hundred peo-
pie, with Capt. A. X. Leonard as sales
man. 1t was case-of buying a pig
in a poke, as no one knew the contents
of the packages they were buying and
there some rather amusing episodes.
Mr.. Chaplin, of the U. S. Oil Co.,
bought package in which he found a
negro doll baby carefully packed and
wrapped. A prominent gambler got a
package of religious tracts, while a
business man invested in package of
last years show bills. Some of the
packages contained articles Of value,
one box of stone engravers tools, worth
$1OO sold for $3.50. The bidding was
spirited and there was great deal of
curiosity to see the contents of the
packages when they were opened

ly hydrangias, sweet peas, daisies, be-
gonias and ferns. The pevailing tone
of color of the house decorations was
pink, accentuated by pink globes on
the chandeliers. The spacious porch

ored hangings, divans and cuhsions,
and 1t was a generously occupied re-
treat.
Mrs. Rhodes, Mr. and Mrs. Pedding-

under the mantel; and flowers extend
ed from the table upward to the man
tel, where other flowers were banked,
the whole making rich floral decor
alton. On the mantel and table were

Important Railroad Change.

After July what is now the Balti-
more and Ohio Southwestern Railroad
will be known as the southwestern di-
vision of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. At least orders received at the
local Office give rise to that belief
These orders are to the effect that af-
ter that date all remittances, ETC., must
be made to the Offices of the auditor
and treasurer at Baltimore, Md, in
stead of at Cincinnati. The Cinein-
natl Offices of auditor and treasurer
will be discontinued, but Supt. Rawn
who is retained. will still keep his of
fee in Cincinnati.
1t is hoped that under the new ar
rangement changes will be made in
the system which will put Marietta on
through line from st. Louis and Gin
natl to the east.

Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to
or succeeding the baby's birth are invited
to consult Dr. r. V. Pierce, by letter, abso-
lutely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by DR.. Pierce, has caused imita-
tors to spring up, who make offers of free
advice, which they are'not competent to
give, not being physicians. When you
are invited to "write to woman" ask
the simple question, Is this woman a
physician ?" You will find that she is
not, and does not and dares not claim
to be, physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.
