BUY in South Park. the place
where money grows.
THE county court cant do wrong in
making permanent improvements.
That is the best and only way to
spend the peoples money. The mem
fact and they may be depended upon
to act with the best results in every
case that comes up.
PEcK's Bad Boy needs no introduce
tion; during his career he has amused
millions and will continue to do SO
for years. 1t is impossible to describe
the antics Of the boy and the means
he finds to make an audience enjoy
his practical jokes; he will give full
play to his spirits at the opera house
Dec. 4th, and will be supported in his
endeavors by strong cast and one Of
the largest list Of speciality artists
seen in musical farce comedy Be
sure and see the Boy this time; he is
funnier than ever before.
WORDS cannot equal acting, and
therefore Peck's Bad Boy as it will be
presented at the opera house, Dec. A.,
will by far exceed the fun enjoyed by
reading the book "Peck's Bad Boy
and his Pa" The funny sayings,
actions and situations are all mirth
producers that no amount of reading
could make; besides, the cast being
made up of many uf the old favorites
and many new aspirants for favor is
additional surety for success.
WHAT the county needs are bridges
and roads. The county court should
see to it that these are provided as
RAPIDLY as the pocket book OF the
county will admit. There is nothing
that will be more beneficial in every
wy TO the people of the county and
nothing for which they will be more
thankful

Fairmont Opera House Man to
Investigate.


He Says That Ellis Enemies Fired the
Place Causing the Recent Confiagra-
tion-OdeIl Mckinney Married-Fair-
mont EIks Coming Down-Budget OF
Interesting News from up River.
Special to the New DOMINION.
FAIRMoNT, Dec. 3-To most Fair
monters the Opera House fire is a
thing Of the past but to few who
are inclined to get to the bottom OF
things the affair is still mystery.
There are many stories afoat as to
what started the blaze and as time
goes on the tales increase.
There is but little doubt in the
minds OF some but that enemies of
the house started the fire while 9th
ers are equally certain that it caught
from a wood fire in a stove on the
stage.
Quite a surprise was created by
the appearance of Manager III. L.
Blair of the house who left town i'm
mediately after the fire. He arrived
yesterday from Uniontown and i'm
mediately held a consultation with
his attorneys and it is rumored that
he is going to start trouble for some
one. In signed letter that will APP
pear in the Evening Times, he says
that the house was fired by his enc
mics ard that he has proof of it.
The affair is far from being settled
and there will likely be some start
ling developments in few days
The marriage OF Mr. Odell Nc.
Kinney of this place to Miss Emory
Foster, of Cordele, Ca, was a great
surprise to his many friends here.
Mr.. Mckinney left here last week
ostensibly on a business trip to the
South and the message announcing
his marriage opened wide the eyes
of all who know him. He is the bus
mess manager of the Evening Times
and Index of this place and is son
of Hon. O. S. Mckinney.
After months of delay, the Fai r
mont d Clarksburg Street Railway
Co. have commenced the completion
of their line into West Fairmont.
This branch reaches about one third
of the city's population and it is
said will be great money maker for
the Company when completed.
The organization of big board of
trade for Fairmont is getting into
definite shape. The Development
Co. will soon close out it's business
and it is said it will tender to the
business men of the city banquet
at which the Board will be organ
lied. The gentlemen in charge are
looking for the proper man to be the
secretary.
The Falrmont Lodge of Elks are
arranging for visit to the Morgan
town lodge which will take place
some time before Xmas. The local
lodge thinks much Of their Morgan
town brothers and large crowd will
60 down from here on the trip.
It is matter Of general regret
here that Mr.. John g. Lantz has
sold out his lease on the Hotel Lantz
and will leave this place. While
here MI. Lantz made host of friends
who will be loath to see him leave
the city.
A gentleman from Warrington
summoned here for Jury duty took
on too much booze Saturday night
and was placed in the city lookup.
1t was the first time in the history
of the town that juryman has been
arrested for drunkenness.
