THE usual court crowd for June
is hardly up TO the size Of that in
attendance here today. Several
things helped to bring more people
to town.
FROM the way that the Fairmont,
Morgantown and Cheat River Com
pany is going about it, it begins to
look like there might be a whole lot
of doings here this summer in this
direction.
YESTERDAY was not court day, but
for all that quite as many of the
unemployed took their seats on the
wall around the court house lawn
early in the day, and except for a
few changes. the crowd was still
there when the moon came up,
SEVERAL valuable dogs have been
poisoned lately, apparently with no
further reason than sheer meanness.
With the present dog ordinance in
effect, the dog poisoner is about as
mean as the splitter.
A BUNCH Of eolored people have
been pulled at Uniontown and it nas
been found that they had robbed
stores down there Systematically.
They had hundreds of dollars worth
of goods. A colored woman who
had been engaged as cleaner took
the stuff. Her reputation was such
that she was not watched.
A LADY went out calling the other
day and in some way got INTO the
kitchen. She threw up both hands,
saying, Where did you get that
nice ranger The lady of the house
ans wered That is Home Novelty
Range. | got it from the ii. c.
Baker Hardware Company's store.
They are selling them cheap"
THERE was man going up street
the other day. He fell in company
with another man. When they met
he asked, "Have you been down to
the Baker Hardware store lately -?
You should go in there. They have
any thing that you think OF IN the
way of hardware"
A HORSE left unhitched on the
street while the owner went inside

Along came a buzz wagon and the
first mentioned horse started to

caught before he had run into any OF
the other teams and good story
was spoiled. Ii people keep on

no one to watch them there will be
chance to write up something
about what happens later.
