News.
Mrs. WillIamson's new residence
lon North Main street Is now under
root and has received one coat of
paint. The contractors expect to
have 1t ready for occupancy by the
first of July. It will be moderu
and handsome home when COM
pleted.
Our citizens are loud In their
condemnation of the B. g. 0. r. r.
company for not giving excursio ]
rates to John Robinson's circus to ,
morrow. The regular fare to New
MartInsville Is SIS cents, which you
will pay If you go up via the B. &
o. road.
The base ball park will be en-.
closed by tomorrow noon and the
pavilion will be completed a week
later. Messrs. Booth & Kincaid,
who have the contract of the work,
are pushing the same to compile
ton with all possible rapidity.
The new residence of Mrs.
Roush on Water street Is nearing
completion. It has been enclosed
and the roof Is being placed there
lon. When completed 1t will be a
commodious and comfortable home
and will add greatly to the appear
ance of that part of the city.
Those of our citizens who desire
to see John Robinson's circus to-
morrow, and who will be obliged
to 60 nine miles to see It, will
doubtless bless certain individuals
here who could have saved them
this inconvenience and added d
good roll to their bank account
also.
| The City council has ordered the
new addition to the citv as laid out
by II. w. Mccoy, on the river hill,
to be severed and city water lines
laid through the addition. This
will make the los up that way
very desirable and will no doubt
result In the building of many
houses on these lots this summer.
We desire to say a word to our
patrons and the public In general
In regard to each and every individ-
ual who Is In possession of news
items Of any description. We not
only want your support but your
news also. 1t Is impossible for US
to give all the news for the reason
they do not come under our notice.
You entertain people and 1t IS I'm
possible for us or your friends to
learn of the fact without informa
ton. Your neighbors like to keep
posted In regard to the social events
that transpire In the city. Hence,
we would be pleased 10 have you
furnish US with all the news of
local and personal nature. Items
o: interest to the public may occur
to you which may be unknown to
us.
No product today has been sub
Iject to so much bitter antagonism
as oleomargarine. 1t has been
taxed and re-taxed, made plain and
colored, ordered done up In certain
kinds Of labels and boxes, still 1t
has survived. Congress has taken
hold OF the subject and after wrest
ling with the great problem of
what we eat" has passed law on
the lines laid down by the wise So
Ions. Now the treasury officials
anticipate a great deal of trouble In
enforcing the law and are predict
Ing that the market will be flooded
with private oleo and pay no tax.
Under existing laws the govern
ment has realized about two million
dollars year from the tax, but
officials believe that this revenue
will practically cease when the new
law goes into effect.
