The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1907-07-31
NOTES

RIvEsvILLE. July S1.-sunday was
LA busy DAY down here. Baseball to
further orders. Rivesville VS.. Barns
| Vile, or some at least were from
Evansville, but the principal players
. or contenders rather were not natives
or residents of the little newly incor.
porated town, but that was all right
no kick coming as to that, nor none
whatever, as far as the writer is con
cerned as he isn't ball player, but
rumor has 1t that the umpire Of one
dig fellow who said the outs and ms
and seemed to be the push and pull
for Evansville altogether, might have
had more warm friends down here il
he hadn't shown his warm feelings
for the Barnyites quite so plain, but
all is well that ends we'll
Rivesville will be mindful of sew
eral occurrences in the future which
took place at the game Sunday and
would much rather be the victims Of
wrong or an overdose of authority
than defeat so, so, so, and 50 long
as to that hint to the wise should
be sufficient. ezsESEfN
Near three hundred people witness.
ed the game. Even big Mas Chips,
Frank Yost, Leroy shuman and sever.
al Others from old Monongalia county,
Fairmont and other points were rep.
resented also, and the game could
have been an interesting one should
the right spirit have prevailed but
let 1t go now. Sure, sure, to be sure.
RIvesville batteries were Dent,
Thorn and Harris. Score IA to in
favor of Rivesyille.
Mr.. ]. v. Williams, one of our vii,
lage business hustlers, has fitted up
neat ice cream parlor on Main street
and in addition to- that he is handling
organs, pianos, monographs, graphic
phones and a general line OF furniture,
Good luck to a man with the nerve to
place everything on the market at
Rivesyille from folding bed to a
goose yoke and don't you think that
Williams hain't got it either, the goose
yoke and the other, too.
Josh Sruceby's writings in the
West virginian jams a whole lot Of
truth into the air, that never would
have been though Of. Josh's sayings
are lasting. They don't leave with
the dew. Josh, you will do no harm
and lots OF good by sprinkling old
Marion county quite often in the next
two years.
The'Lone Star has got to be mighty
careful about what he says OF late, as
there is a certain man in the country
who don't hesitate to tell his hired
hands and most everybody he can get
an audience with that the Lone Star is
bad sinner, but against he gets the
rounds and tells the thousands OF read.
ers Of daily papers about the Lone
Star, he will not be any more popular
himself among the people than a billy
goat in an orchard Of young apple
trees.
Your humble correspondent is like
the Irishman and the fees. They be.
gin on me arst and I'm ready to quit
at any time.

nifcance is likely to become visible
soon after the return Of Mr.. Hess, pro.
yiding things materialize as per plans
now on file.
H. ]. Rice, a well known coal deal
err OF Fairmont, was here Monday
