Handsome Silk Flag.

One of the handSomest silk flags
in Tyler county, if not in West
Virginia, is to be seen flying from
the veranda of the Arlington ho-
tel. This flag was made by Mrs.
Dolan and Mrs. Bosworth. The
silk was ordered from Philadel-
phia by Harry Work. The pole
cord, tassels and eagle was order
ed from New York from the
American Flag company. The
flag is five feet by nine feet. 1t is
a beauty. Look for it.

CITY and New Martinsville. Some
young people visited at our neigh
Dor town day or two since to n
terest our new cousins up the rlr-
er in the project of the young PEI
pie of the two towns uniting III
building club house. They
agreed to join with us, provided
"Hanford Mccoy would quit
roasting New Martinsville. !" We
never "roasted" New Martins
vile until the newspapers in that
town commenced to "rOast" Sis
tersville, and, naturally, we came
back to the very best of our abil-
ity. A record of the files Of the
New Martinsville papers will
prove this fact to be as we state.
Not a week ago the Dispatch con-
tanned a dirty little slam at this
city which we did not answer, and
we have no desire whatever to say
anything about New Martinsville,
her citizens or her improvements,
but if some people up there are
so 'tarnal thin-skinned" they
can't enjoy a little newspaper
roast when their own newspapers
start the fuss, they should begin
at home. We will promise right
now and forever to never print a
single item about our neighbors
unless the newspapers of New
Martinsville attack Sistersville.
This is certainly fair and is the
position we have always taken in
the matter. We never gave New
Martinsville thought until the
paper up there came out with a
long TRADE about Sistersvllle dy-
ing. A man who won't defend his
own home is no man at all. Ii the
New Martinsville papers 'sass
MS we are coming back just as
hard as we know how, won't
"holler" if we get licked or cry If
we are badly disfgured, but we
will, not begin the fracas. That's
fair and square, so begin your
elub house at once. We will re-
tract if we have told an untruth
when the New Martinsville news

then.

F, Everybody who visited the car
nival last night were more than
pleased with the entertainments
given. In fact, they were enthus,

of any carnival shows we have
had here that there is no point to
compare them with former carnl-
val companies. All the shows
will be open tonight.
