Friendly and will move his family
there rext week.
Sunday was an ideal autumn day
and the city was almost vacated In
the afternoon. A large number of
citizens enjoyed a ride over the
trolley line to Paden City and re-
turn, while others drove into the
country few miles for a pleasure
jauut.
Attorney F. L BlackDar will
leave this evening for Oil City, Pa.
to attend the obsequies of his
brother-in-law DR., W. Fl. II. Jack
son. Dec ased died suddenly yes
ternoon and his funeral will occur
tomorrow afternoon. He was about
s. years of age and one of the most
prominent physicians of Oh City.
The quail season opened yester-
day to the great delight OF our To-
cal nimrods~ Many hunting parties
left the city at an early hour this
morning and numerous others are
being formed. Contractor Geo.
| Wolfe and Attorney A. Bruce Hunt
were members of a jolly party that
left the city Sunday evening for
the vicinity of the Jug Handle,
where they will epjoy the sport tor
few days.
The Baptist church of this city
Is endeavoring to find suitable
property which can be purchased
for a parsousge. Next Saturday
the regular church meeting will be
held when the membership will all
have a voice and vote as to the Sc
lection of a new pastor. We un-
derstand that a call Is likely to be
extended to Rev. A, L. Kelley of
3lenvllle, this State.
Contractor M. S. Elder has just
returned fr m a visit with relatives
In Butler ccunty, Pa. Mr.. E'der
brought home three dozen of ap-
pies which averaged three quarters
of pound each. They were grown
on the farm of George Fisher, who
esides on the Butler pike near
Bakerstown. The apples are beau.
ties aud perfect specimens of the
Northern Spy variety.
Those of our citizens who were
buying stocks and bonds at the In
fated prices current few weeks
ago, and tumbling over themselves
for fear there might not be enough
to 60 around, are now carefully
boarding their money and would
not think of investing In the same
stocks at prices very much lower
than were then current. The In
clination to buy at the top and sell
at the bottom Is still quite preva-
lent.
If you want a nice picture or
more you can get them at McCoy's
Book Store very cheap. All pic
lures are being closed out at cost
and less. Go early and get
choice of the fine line. The firm
has decided to close their pictures
out In order to make room for a
new and handsome line of Havliu
china. This Is why the pictures
are going to be sold at a sacrifice.
You will be surprised at the pic
lures and prices.
Instead of merchants telling how
goo d business Is here this fall, they
are simply amazed at the Volume
of trade they are doing. We think
every merchant In the city will
agree with Us when we say that
never In the history of Sistersville
has trade In all branches of busl-
ness been as good as 1t Is at the
present time. And 1t will be bet
ter. Paden City and the electric
railroad Is making Sistersville boom
as 1t has never done before. Aud
It's permanent and growing boom
Properly supported, the editor
and his paper can assist greatly In
attracting trade. We push the cir
culation of the Review into the dis
tricts for the trade of which Sisters
Vile Is competing with others.
Every town In some quarter comes
In competition with other towns for
certain amount of very desirable
trade The paper which has the
widest circulation In that district Is
The best armed for that contest
and right there the Review excels
all others in Tyler or adjoining
counties.
