Buckhannon. During the closing
part OF the melon season he boxed up

IT seems that there is probability
that some of the boodlers Of the Pitts
burg council will get out Of office II
they don't get 10 the pen. The peo-
pie OF Pittsburg won't stand their at

THE Uniontown Evening Genius
says: 1t is believed that the men who
tortured and robbed Levi Eicher and

THERE are few sleighs kept by Nor
gantown team owners, because good
sleighing SHOWS are very rare. One
dealer here ordered some good sleighs
for this winter, but the factory had
sold out when the order was received,
and they could not be gotten. Up to

AFTER the efforts to supply all the
holiday trade there are MANY bust
ness men who have come to the be.
