this section and as we claim to be
within the pale of civillz ition will
give you a few briefitems.
We suppose the weather here
does not vary much from the ell
mate of Sistersville hence we will
pass that up.
Our school Is doing nicely, there
were so many students enrolled
tn t our teacher Cliff Morrow was
obliged to have an assiSt'nt and
secured the services of Oscar Flu
harty and between the two they
are teaching a model school OF
course Aud the ypuths of this
section are we'll behaved, being
brought up by upright and truth
tul parents, which fact aids mater
tally in the eff ,rts of the teachers
Occasionally, however some of be
boys will take chew or rub OF
snuff and ex oecl crate on the Fl >or,
but the girls are altogether too Dice
and too we'll raised to indulge In
such naughty things. Now you =
man Of you expect to rate as such)
you will not expectorate on the
school room f)or.
Rev. B. Arnes began a protracted
meeting here but closed and we
understand he vii open the SER
vices again as soon as he can find
suitable timber upon which to try
his Ratchet he hewed and hewed
tor several rights and got very
close 10 the line on several occasions
but there were apparently no sin
ners In the community but we will
have a supply for him right after
Christmas as the average Wolf
Penner always forms new and rigid
resolutions at the beginning of the
Dew year and generally keep them
for at least ten DAYS
We are to have Christmas tree
at the School.

Old Bill thought he had a custom.
er for his neat little home a few
days ago but he has too many
friends who 1t seems are loath TO
part with his company You know
Bill keeps bachelors hall and Is a
very liberal fellow, has a kit OF
tools and 1t Is very handy for the
community to borrow and then
when they break one or forget to
bring ham home Bill buys more
and good tools are cheap, and then
1t makes good loafng place there
being no ladies about the boys can
spit on the floor put their feet on
the stove or table and 1t Is all right
and then they usually flock In on a
Sunday morning about the time
Bill gets ready to read or study his
bible and as everyone Cor at least
almost) are good readers they usu-
ally assist Bill but at any rate the
neighbors spoilt Bills sale one says
his place Is not worth fifty dollars
and be can't give a title because he
has son living. Its a fact now
boys If / ever told the truth another
one says Bilps house Is built Of
pieces, we'll If 1t is not, 1t Is all one
board. Well Bill says 1t Is because
the people love him so, tha. they
cannot bear the Idea of his leaving.
We see that our merchants are
handling oysters, we saw about
half dozen swimming around 10 a
quart Of water the other night The
purchaser informing US that he paid
fifty cents per quart. When he had
four hundred barrels of water at
home of course the merchant did
not notice 1t as they were In a
glass jar.
One nice thing about this COM
munity Is that when you make a
deal either buy or sell you have a
chance to meet the entire crowd.
This IS indeed pleasure.
| We have not heard much politics
talked out this way yet. but notice
that our old friend Will Long Is an
aspirant for sheriff, we think the
voters will make no mistake when
they cast their vote for Will, the
right man In the right place. Will
you can count on my feeble sup
port, that Is If all my neighbors are
willing, / will speak to them about
1t.
There Is some sickness but no
fever 10 Our midst.
Thos. Stepleton has been very
sick with asthma and others troub
