Following her Leso.

A Denver woman went to swell
dinner the other day. says the Post
OF that city. She was seated on tie
right OF the hostess. There were
eight people at the table. Before her
she found a long array OF knives, forks
and spoons, and, being possibly a little
unsophisticated, she began to work
over the problem Of using the right
ones for the right courses.
Being next to the hostess, she knew
she would have TO begin eating each
course first. However, when the din
ner began she stopped worrying and
used whatever knife, fork or spoon
she thought should be used. She was
delighted to find that everybody else
at the table did exactly as she did.
Wh9H it was all over she learned
from four or five women present that
they didn't know what TO eat with.

The year 1907 was a prosperous
one for Bluefield, Many large build
ings were constructed, must street
paving has been done, many inn
provements made by the Norfolk &
Western railway, scores of residences
constructed. and the city has added
to it's population more than a thou
sand souls.
Despite the financial stringency
and the consequent issuance of script
and clearing house receipts by other
towns, the Bluefeld banks have met
the crisis without the least difficulty.
Our banks have paid cash all along
and no limitations have been placed
upon the amount a depositor may
withdraw. Bluefielders do not know
what shinplaster currency is, and
our banks refuse to give them an
object lesson.

returned into court thirty true
bills, and referred some matters
of minor Importance to the just
