From The World Of saturday:

From The World of Saturday:
The ball in Katz hall last night was
the grand finale of the Apple Carni-
val and the happy elimination of all
the notable events incident thereto.
1t was unique in the history of Mar
tinsburg from the fact that it was a
social commingling of the people of
town and country, and for the moment
socalled social lines were forgotten.
This, indeed truly reflected the spirit
that animated the carnival throughout,
namely, show OF the people, by the
people and for the people.
A better place to hold reception
and ball of such large proportions
could not have been found in Martins
burg. The reception was held on the
second floor and the ball on the third
Poth sracio1s; rooms were deliberately
d corated for the occ sion, being in
harmony with the meaning of the
carnival and the autumn season in
which it was held. The beautiful de-
corations, the soft glow CT the numer-
Gus lights, the handsome toilets of
the ladies' all produced scene of
loneliness that will long be remember
ed by the hundreds of people, young
and old, who we're there.
The receiving party consisted of the
officers of the Berkeley County Hor-
ticultural Society and the members
af tho M ~, i1roI a,NV, ~, ;ttao ou1 +bo;-
wives or other ladies'. They formed
an attractive group as they stood at
the right of the entrance to the
room and Gracfously received the six
hundred or more people who came and
went from nine o'clock till nearly
midnight. During this public recep-
ton the City Band under the direc-
ton of Mr.. l.. Dew. Gerhardt, dis
coursed a lengthy and highly pleasing
musical program. Everybody was in
a good humor and thoroughly enjoyed
everything.
To the younger element the ball, of
course, was the chief event of all that
had preceded it, 1t was, indeed a de-
hShVAui elh'AA' Inv NohuitioHo dli toh-
spring to make it so. Even the
weather was charming, but not to be
compared with many, of the fair lady
dancers. The light fantastic toe was
tripped from to. l o'clock, while
scores of people formed background
of admiring onlookers. Thompson's
orchestra was in good form and play
ed a program Of dance music that set
all feet in motion whether dancer or
not The Straits of Home, Sweet
Home" came only too soon, and the
gay and happy crowd reluetlantty dis
perced to their homes.

The passing of the anti gamling law has put a dampcr on allcard games in Winslow.

NEW BRICK STORE BUILDING.
Work on HaII-Abbot Buildings Begun on Tues
day Morning-Already Leased to Tenants.

Some time ago we announced
through these columns that two
new store buildings were to be
erected on the southeast corner
of the square. Actual work
upon the building was begun last
Wednesday morning when a
force of men began the digging
of the excavations for the founda-
tons. The two buildings will
occupy a frontage on the square
of sixty feet and are to be thor
oughly modern in every res pect
including plate glass and marble
fronts relieved by prism loaded
transoms and framed with oxi,
died brass work.
The demands for such build.
ings at this place is such that
when building is started it can
be readily rented, These two
buildings have already been
leased, the corner one to The
Leader dry goods store while the
next building is to be occupied
by the White Swan Grocery peo-
pie. SO far the plans call for
one story building but arrange
mentS are being made for the
extension of the building to two
stories in order that a modern
opera house may be installed in
the upper story. These plans
may mature during the next few
days and if so the owners state
that they will spare no expense
in making the auditorium such
that it will compare favor able
with any this side of Fort Worth
in Texas. The work on the two
buildings will he rushed as rapid
as the weather will permit in
order to give the tenants as
early possession as possible.

BIG NEW LUMBER SHEDS.
Local Lumber Concern Begins Erection ofLarge
Yard in This City This Week.

Work on what is probably the
largest lumber sheds in the
northwestern portion of the state
was begun this week on the block
of land just northeast of the
square. These large sheds are
to be used by the Canyon Lum-
Der Company and already a large
amount of lumber is being
stacked upon the grounds await
ing the completion of the build
ingS.
Large and commodious offices
are also to be built for the ac-
commodation of the Office force
of the company. The work so
far indicates that it will be well
built and substantial and of sutfi-
cient size to hold one of the larg.
est stocks of lumber in the Pan
handle. This increase in capac-
ity is brought about by the large
increase in the lumber business
at this point since the lands in
Randall county have begun to
settle up with farmers so rap
idly.
