THE PRESS OUTING

The first annual outing of the
Slstersvllle Press Club held yes
terday was a complete success
From start to finish, there was mol
a slip, not a moment that was not
full of good things. The visitors In
goodly number were met at the
morning trains by the reception
committee. A short tour of the
city was made, during which the
guests expressed their surprise al
the substantial and wonderful I'm
provement that had been made Ia
the oil city. In little while, the
wharf was reached, where the
steamer Ortcn was waiting to con.
vey the party to the camp Of James
Chambers, or the Ohio side. The
feast there had been properly
advertised Ia the invitations,
but no invitation, no columns, could
describe the good things which
were there for the palates of the
showers of the pepcil. Mr.. Cham.
bers has had fish frys before, but
the one yesterday surpassed every
thing yet experienced along the
Ohio River, and demonstrated
again that as chef In that liue, he
has no equal. Fish, clans, chicken,
potatoes, corn, tomatoes every.
thing was there, and 1t was all
good. After feasting for an hour,
the party gave one long breath, and
settled down for short feast OF
reason and flow of soul, feeling
that they would no. want anything
to eat for week.
A: two O'Clock, the cars 0 the
Tyler We.zel railroad com oauy
were boarded, and the trip over the
new electric lire made TO Paden
City, where the club and Its friends
were the guests OF the Paden com.
pany. And what that company did
to them was plenty. After re-

Trolley Ride and Dance.

The Cotlllion club, one of the
most popular social organizations
In the city, had a very enjoyable
outing Saturday evening. About
fifty couples went up over the new
Tyler. Wetzel electric railroad to
Paden City, where they were enter
tanned for several hours by the
promoters of the new town. Dan
cling was the main feature of the
evenings program, and the light
fantastic was tripped to the sweet
strains of Bells orchestra until the
midnight hour. A com uodious
dancing stage had been erected for
the occasion In a beautiful grove,
and which was brilliantly lighted
By electricity. The dance numbers
consisted of quadrilles, waltzes and
two-steps. The orchestra was COM
posed of seven pieces, and the
music rendered was one of the most
delightful features Of the evening.
The merry party arrived home at
o'clock Sunday morning, aud
those who participated In the out
ing have the distinction of being
the first individuals to have COM
posed trolley psrty over the new
line.

dltion to West Virginia's industrial
lite, another banquet was served
1t was never equaled by anything
of the kind experienced In the lives
of the knights of the scissors ant
pencil. The table groaned under &
supply of good things, and so good
were they, that Notwithstanding
the fact that the fish fry was
matter of only four hours history
ample justice was done to this
spread at the new Paden Hotel.
The banquet showed that to his
line, Mr.. Leasure, the chef OF The
hotel was equally as proficient In
his line as Mr.. Chambers few
hours before. Enough cannot be
said about this banquet or the ex-
cellent manner In which 1t was
served.
During the whole day, the guests
were In charge of Mr.. Behen, Of
Behen & Son, of Plttsburg, Pa. /,
who have charge of the lot sale at
the new city. and right we'll did he
perform the functions of host. Not
thing was forgotten to nake 1t
a most perfect day In the lives of
the whole party. Loathe was each
man to see the time for the motion
to adjourn approach. After the
Paden banquet. toasts were given
by each member of the party. and
good cheer prevailed. At that
time a committee consisting Of Mr..
Harness, of Marietta, and Messys.
J. D. Hall and ". II. Mallick, was
appointed to inquire into the mat
ter of an Ohio Valley Press Asso-
citation.
Those at the Fress Club outing
will never forget 1t; those not there
will never tire Of regrettingit.
1t was huge success. and every
one wishes 1t were time for the next
one.
Paden City in this matter demon.
sirated, as In every thing else, that
1t Is built on substantial basis, and
will soon be one of the busiest little
cities In the great State Of West
Virginia.

Many families who spent the
summer at popular resorts In the
east and In the northern lake re-
gIon have returned to the city. In
numerous cases the cool weather
has fastened the return of many
individuals, who otherwise would
have remained away until the first
|of October.
It Is hardly probable that much
will be featured socially, until the
latter part of the present month.
There were no entertainment of an
elaborate nature during the past
week still there were quite a number
CT small affairs that were immense
'ly enjoyed by the participants,
Another week will practically finish
all out door entertainments, as the
nights will be entirely 100 cool for
their enjoyment. October with Its
list of autumnal weddings Is draw
ing near. The intervening days,
as a rule, have but little social sig
ni6cance, being devoted to pre-.
paraticn for the busy season that
usually follows. Those who have
returned ftom their summer out,
Iiugs are busily engaged taking
general inventories of what will be
necessary for them to procure for

A Curious wedding Present.

Among the Brass river tribes of
west Africa when a young couple get
married 1t is the custom for the old
est member of the brides family to
present the bride with a plot of ground
six feet long. This is for the grave
of her family and herself when they
die
The first member of the new family
who dies is buried about twenty feet
below ground and the next one almost
sixteen feet, and this goes on until all
the family die and are buried. The
grave holds them all, and this, they
think, prevents them from being sep
arated.
This gBewsome wedding present is
the one most valued by the bride the

all other things are gone this re
