FAILED TO GET HERE.
Large Crowd and Slow Lockage Pre-
vented the Rutter Band Excursion
from Reaching Here.

Yesterday afternoon very many in
Quiries were made as to the where
abouts of the Rntter Band Excursion
and many speculations were made as
to the time they would reach here
Late ia the afternoon a message was
received giving the information that
they had come as far as Lock No. !
and turned around there for the re-
turn trip. The excursion must have
been quite a success financially judy
ing from the following account given
by the News Standard:
Rutter's band excursion via Browns
vile, was great success. as SOP
tickets were sold from Uniontown
alone. The train carrying this large
crowd left at 1870 this morning Ia two
sections over the p. V. & g. road.
The station platform was packed with
the large crowd of excursionists and
Others who were there to see them off.

them an ample supply Of their latest

crowd of Brownsville people.
MAsoNTowN, July 1.-THE sRut-
ter's hand excursion passed Davidson's
lower ferry at half past one, and it
will be 3 p. m. before they reach this
point. A large number intended to
join it here, but many will not do SO
now, as it will be impossible for the
excursion to go to Morgantown and
get back to Brownsville by 10 p. M,
as they are scheduled to do. The de-
lay is caused by the large crowd and

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Improperly is what other people
do, and only then when they get
caught doing it.
Modesty would keep people out of a
lot Of trouble they think is forced
on them.
The funny thing is that a woman
must be loved by a man to be able to
fool him, and that she must fool him
to be able to be loved by him.
There il nothing like the comfort OF
making up your mind that thing
which ought to be stopped can't be
stopped and it is useless to try any
more.

BIG ENGINE is SPEEDY.
Special Train of Colorado Excursionists
Tests New Locomotive.

Railway men of all classes are
watching with much interest the
tests of the 1920 SERIES of engines
of the Rock Island road, the largest
running out of Chicago in passenger
service Engine No. 1901 was given
its first severe test for power and
speed last week The patrons of the
Rock Islands first excursion to Colo
RADIO occupied fourteen Of the largest
and heaviest coaches. This was
enough for two trains to be pulled BY
ordinary passenger engines of the day
considering the speed required. The
big engine did all that was expected
OF it and more. Between Chicago and
Rock Island it pulled that train Of
fourteen coaches with ease on sched
ule time, and when called on for a
little extra effort developed speed of
over " miles an hour.
Engines of that class will haul all
the special trains which will be used
by the Rock Island in it's series of
Colorado excursions, at the rate Of
one. fare plus S. 90 for the round trip.
Three more excursions will be given,
leaving here July 9, July II and

GOLD TEASPOONS
That Were Presented by Mrs.
Mckinley
And Modest Gift From Mrs. Bryan
Disposed of at Fair at Reedy on the
Fourth.

REEDY. ". va, July 1.-THE
Baptists Of Reedy, who are uniting
their efforts and bending their ener-
gies toward building church here,
gave a fair in the school building at
this place on the Fourth, which prov
ed a success financially and otherwise.
The town was filled to oyerfowing
with people from this and surround
ing counties from early morning till
late at night, yet good order was pre-
served throughout In the morning
the crowd assembled in the large up
per room Of the school house, and full
ly three hundred voices made the well
kin ring with our dear old national
hymn America. There were other
songs and music suitable for the occa-
sion, also speeches by several promin-
emit men. The address of welcome by
Rev. G. A. Burdell- Baptist pastor
here-was short, but to the point and
had tendency TO make the audience
feel at home and as comfortable as the
intense heat would allow. The
speeches made by Hons. Jesse Roach,
ex-State Senator of this district aud
prosecuting Atty j. A. A. Vandale
Of Spencer, were filed with patriotism
as well as encouragement to those who
are working SO diligently and lending
their aid so willingly, for church
building. Mr.. Vandale spoke very
touchingly of the old lady, Mrs. Stew
art, one of Reedy's pioneers, who with
her own hands wove carpet which
she presented to the church. Her
daughter, Mrs. Goad, was one of the
leading spirits in the affair and secur-
ed many very generous donations.
After the closing Of the morning exer-
else, the audience repaired to the low
er rooms, where they purchased excel
lent dinners and refreshments.
.ffhe afternoon was spent in dispos-
ing of the articles and donations to
the highest bidders The goods had
been nicely arranged the day before
making fine display
In the collection were six gold tea
spoons, donated by Mrs. President)
Mckinley. and linen handkerchief
by Mrs. VIM. Jennings Bryan. The
opOOub Wtlt oOlu Uuc du d UllilC, dbd
brought something over twenty dol
lars. The handkerchief also went for
price which was simply fabulous for
a donation so modest. The articles
were all sold with considerable dis
patch and to good advantage. Sup
per was afterward served. At night
some of the young people engaged in
cake walk, led by Miss Murphy of
Spencer, which was very amusing,
the cake being awarded to Mr.. Ben
Legg of Belpre.
And thus ended the Fair, which
represented so much upremitting la
Dor and perseverance on the part of
Ye good Baptist Sisters and Brothers.
The proceeds, we understand, amount
ed to hundred and fifty dollars above
all expenses.

China, and her friends have begun to
fear for her safety. She recently lost
her trunk and all her valuables while

nothing has been heard since. She
resided In Foo-Chow for time. but
the last place Of residence is not
known here. She is relative by
