A Rich Town.

The richest town Of its size ia the
world is set down by the correspon-
dent of the Chicago Evening Post as
Cadiz, Ohio. With barely 1000 in
habitants, and not a manufacturing
industry Of any sort, it has four ma
tional banks and four prosperous loan
associations, with combined capital
of 81, 215, 900. 1t has more financial
institutions than it has churches and
schools. The isolation of the place
makes its position as money center
all the more remarkable. There is no
waterway of nayigable size nearer
than % miles and its connection with
the world is by branch railroad TO
the main line of the Panhandle.
Figures concerning the banks of this
country Village are interesting. A
recent report shows that their COM
bined capitalization is but $500, 900,
while they possess surplus and undi-
vided profits of 1911, 1853. The depos-
its amount to 81, 725, 052, and the dis
counts foot up to 81, 594, SAT. Con-
siderable money, too, has been earned
for the stockholders since their organ
ization. Counting the undivided pro-
fits, these banks have earned for their
owners more than $1,000 600 on an
investment Of about one third Of that
amount. Leaving out the 400 color
ed inhabitants, the deposits average
about 81 500 for each person. 1t is
the we'll to-do farmers OF Harrison
county that have created the wealth
visible in the county seat.

and none has gone into tho post
Office. The condition of the river has
cut them off. The people expected

day So they didn't cut any channel.

OFFICIAL reports from inside Of the
Boer lines showing the names OF those
killed and wounded inform us that
there were less than fifty of the Beers
killed in the first three battles that
were fought while there were hun
Greds Of English who bit the dust at
the same time. When the facts come
out it will be seen that Johnny Bull
has been licked TO a standstill every
time he has tackled the Beers and
there does not seem to be very many
chances for anything else to happen.
The first accounts Of every fight are
English victories but they have an
awkard habit Of turning the other
way on later information.

HERE we had thought that the old
enmity between this place and Fair
mont had been forgotten but it can
not be allowed to die out if they send
another show down here.
THE streets have been the hardest
to navigate to-day that they have
been this winter. The ice is very
slippery and the bricks are perfectly
smooth. Everybody has been tumbling
to the situation,
AFTER the first ice went out stray
CLING bodies arrived from up river and
went on down to join the fun down
there. This was from the separate
pools above here. They broke up at
different times and made difference
in the time they arrived here.
It's no wonder that the stock of
the Monongahela Navigation Com
pany paid out nearly double what it
was worth when the price that Tn
Gle Sam paid for the locks and dams
between this place and Pittsburg is
taken into consideration.
