Henry G.. Davis and party arriv-
ed here yesterdly afternoon few
minutes past 2 o'clock. The train
was composed of two coaches,
which were decorated with bunt-
ing, and on the rear coach beau
tiful American flag was flying to
the breeze. At the conclusion of
the addresses, which consumed al
most an hour in delivering them,
the distinguished gentlemen left
for Parkersburg, where they de-
livered speeches last night to an
immense audience.
y u u
DR.. W. E.. Lantz of Mole Hill,
w. Va, was in the city last even
ing on professional business. DR..
Lantz owned the famous stallion
Gray Eagle for number of years.
This horse will be remembered by
many horsemen throughout Tyler
and adjoining counties. Gray
Eagle died at the advanced age
Of 80 years, 5 months and 10 days.
He, was a running horse, and a
few months previous to his death
was entered in a race and took
second money. He is the sire of
the handsome white horse of Liv-
eryman John Stealey. Gray Eagle
sold for $4,000 when he was %
years old.
The large assemblage of people
yesterday afternoon in this city
the occasion being to see and
hear the addresses of ex-senator
Henry G. Davis and party-was
a notable event in every respect.
1t was one of the most distinguish
ed as well as the largest number
of statesmen that ever before Wis
tied Sistersville. Nothing trans
pired to mar the pleasure OF a
single individual present at the
meeting. Everybody was in the
best of humor, and the gathering
was very similar to an old-fash-
toned quilting party. The people
were unusually sociable, and their
countenances demonstrated that
they were in a very happy mood.
There were no boisterous demon
STATIONS at the speaking, as is u.s.
ually the case on such occasions.
The people were there on missions
Of higher aims, and were anxious
to gain all the knowledge posi-
Bile from the addresses of the able
statesmen and eloquent orators.

The Rag Carpet.

The porches of a country house
are now quite as important as the
living rooms. They are built wider
in order to give plenty of space for
furnishing. Rag carpet rugs maEs
serviceable covering there as We.
as for the whole house. Sewing car
pet rags should be popular pas
time this summer. Now that rag
carpet is so fashionable even the
best stores are dealing in it.
