General Manager Hopeweil and Sen
ator Andrews are in the city comforting
on matters connected with the letting
of the contract and they have an I'M
usually business-like air which makes
il evident that something is doing in
railway circles. There is ne doubt in
the minds Of Albuquerqueans that
brisk work on the new line is TO be
commenced in earnest Immediately,
and it is evident that the road will be
pushed to completion as soon as prac-
ticable. The builders are anxious to
have an Albuquerque connection as
0 as possible and get a share of the
immense railway business done out of
this city. II is stated authoritatively
that the freight and passenger business
done here amounts to the startling
total of three million dollars annually.
This city is growing fast and the traffic
is growing with it, and the Pennsyl-
vania Development Company is fully
aware of this fact. The delays SO far
have been unavoidable, chiefly owing
to the stringency Of the money market,
but is not apparent that there is now
any serious obstacle to the quick com
pletion Of the Albuquerque Eastern

The stockholders of the Ohio
Valley Merchants Protective as
ISOLATION met in the City Hall on
Monday evening for the purpose
of adopting bylaws, electing a
Board of Directors and perfecting
the organization generally. The
meeting was largely attended, and
all branches of mercantile business
of Sistersville were represented.
The adoption of the bylaws oc-
casioned some lengthy discussions,
owing to the different opinions as
to the policy that should be pur-
sued, and to the diversity OF inter-
ests that were represented. But
after a thorough interchange OF
views all differences were finally
adjusted and some strong and en-
phatic bylaws adopted. The fol-
lowing were elected as the Board
of Directors: r. j. Laughney, M.
A. Sybert, E. n. Fisher, w. II. AS
pin, I. O. hurry, Geo. M. Stew
art and H. E. Stephens. M. A..
Sybert was elected First Vice
President, David Wertheimer,
Second Vice President; Chris Hen
derson, Secretary and Treasurer;
Clifford V. Church, Financial Sec
rotary and Statutory Attorney.
The purpose of the organization
according to it's charter, is as fol-
lows: "The object of this associa-
ton is for the mutual aid and ben
eft in collecting outstanding ac-
counts due the members as mer-
chants; to report debtors who fail
to meet their obligations to its
members; to promote industries;

PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
ELECTS OFFICERS

to aid in securing the location of
manufacturing plants of all kinds
in Sistersville; and to do whatever
is necessary to carry into full eff
feet the objects of this associa-
ton" Thus it's aims and purposes
are broad and comprehensive.
The association will include not
only the merchants of Sistersville
but all merchants throughout this
section of the Ohio valley. By
protecting themselves against de.
linquent and dishonest debtors,
not only will the merchants them
selves be benefited but the general
public as well. For if the mer-
chants extend credit only to safe
and reliable persons, and engage
in business on a sound and sub
stantial basis, they will be enabled
to sell at closer margins and thus
benefit their customers generally.
This will work no hardship to
honest debtors, but will serve to
debar only those persons who
make it a practice to incur debts
with no expectation of meeting
them. Such class of customers
all merchants want to avoid.
There is no new scheme in this
organization. Similar associations
of merchants have been formed all
over the country, and it is high
time the merchants in this sec
ton were doing likewise. 1t is
recognized on all hands as being
the one sensible and business-like
method that serves as a protec-
ton to themselves and as bene-
fit to the public.

Society, always on the lookout
for unique diversion, has seized
upon the new card game, Sher-
lock Holmes, and the simple, fun-
making game already claims its
hundreds of thousands of devotees.
The game is simplicity itself,
but is full of excitement, laughter
and fun. The object of the game
is to capture cards, representing
burglars, robbers and thieves and
to obtain the valuable Sherlock
Holmes card. A large part OF the
fun consists in matching the other
players cards, and more partlcu-
larry in making a "sweep. All
players play at once and there IS
not dull moment. Players must
not rest hands or arms upon the
table except when a sweep IS made
