OF $lO and COSTS, with JAN SELL
tence of 80 days against the pris-
oner. Thomas will always be in
debted to the Justice for the fine
and costs, and the proper punish

compel the prisoner to work out
his fine on the county roads.

There are mysterious confer
ences among the small boys and
girls these days, and the caves
dropper would hear remarks in
which gates, doors, ETC., were free
ly used. Hallowe EN- is less than
a week ahead, an dthe young peo-
pie are getting ready. There will
be no objections to innocent sport
on that night, but the lads and
lassies should not go beyond the
bounds of propriety and commit
acts which are classed as depreda-
tons. Wanton destruction of
property will not be tolerated.
Nathan Salisbury, who resides
just east of the city, has a notice
in the Oil Review today warning
all persons from hunting and
trespassing on his premises in the
future. Only a few days ago Mr..
Salisbury had six turkeys killed
by a party of huntersh, and who
carried the fowls away. Natur-
ally he does not approve Of this
wholesale slaughter and theft of
his poultry, and we advise all in
diyiduals who have been in the
habit of hunting on the farm of
Mr.. Salisbury to hereafter keep
off of it unless they are hunting
for trouble.
The true Indian summer season
begins in early November. 1t is
the "Summer of All Saints" No
vember l, or the "Summer of st.
Martini" November 5. The typ
cal Indian summer, however, when
the leaves have all fallen and a
lovely illusion possesses the earth
as if it were enchanted. A deli
cate haze folds the landscape,
sounds of life come from far-away
muf1ed as if heard in a dream,
and a charm rests on woodland
and meadow and marsh like none
other that comes to the autumn.
October is beautiful, truly, but
brings not the Indian summer.
Too subtle, perhaps, is the differ
ence for every perception to
grasp it. Some years the Indian
summer lasts but a day or few
days; some years it may stay for
a month, but these are rare vista
tons. With it's magical charm it
is blessed, whether shorter or
longer it's staying, but it's not
like the October weather-that s
as good as God ever gave us. It's
the wine of the year we are tast-
inc as the trees grow beautiful
and brilliant in color, and the
ferns rises like incense. Be CRATE
full in praise of October, there
fore, and wait patiently for the
true Indian summer.

After the vestry of st. Paul's
church decided to purchase a pipe
organ it was necessary to secure
the services of a pipe organist to
play the instrument. An applica-
ton was made to the Episcopal
Church Choir exchange in New
York city. In this way the vestry
was put in communication with a
number of organists who desired a
change. The position has been
offered to Miss Blaudina G. Smith
of Sharon, Pa. Miss Smith is an
English woman, having been in
this country about seven years.
She came to America from DIR.
Runsfer's college, Norfolk, Eng
land, to teach piano and organ in
Virginia college, Roanoke, Va.
While there she accepted better
position in Bishop Gailor's school
in Tennessee, but was unable to
to enter upon her second year
there because of i'll health. Miss
Smith comes to Sistersville from
a private position in the family
of the president of the Sharon
Steel company. She is highly rec
commended as a teacher and play
