FAIRMONT BOY
in THE CLIMAX
CARNEY CHRISTIE SELECTED BY
JOE WEBER FOR A LEADING
PART IN BIG SHOW.

The many friends of Mr.. Carney
Christie will be glad to learn that he
has been selected by Joe Weber for
one of the principal parts in the cast
Of "The Climax" which will be one
of the big things to be seen in New
York next season. Mr.. Christie has
been in New York for the past two
weeks. and a telegram with the above
announcement was received by his
father Mr.. NJ. D. Christie, to-day. 1t
Is great honor for an actor Just en-
tering the profession to be engaged to
appear In Broadway production, but
that Carney will make good there is
not the least doubt in the minds of his
Fairmont friends. 1t is to be regret
ted, however, that 1t is not likely that
FairmOnt audience will have the
pleasure of seeing his work for the
Weber productions are strictly big
city shows, and are never seen in one
night stands.
Mr.. Christie is one of this city's
most popular young men and has been
untiring In his efforts 10 prepare him
self for the stage. 1t must be ex.
tremely gratifying to him that his tai.
ent has been recognized by one of
New iork's leading theatrical men.
The West Yirginlan joins Mr.. Chris.
tics legion of friends in wishing him
great success in his chosen profession.

offices on the ground floor. 1t Is very
likely that the Western Union Tele.

new building.
All the other Offices, except pOssi-
bly, one floor, will be for the officers
and employees Of the company. The
new building and the small brick

communicate by bridge that will be
built across the alley as the Offices are
now connected. None of the en-

All the Offices will be arranged so
that the occupants will have plenty
of room and every convenience known
to modern times will be employed to
make the building one of the very best
business structures to be found any
where.
The people OF Fairmont will be glad
to know that such a fine business
block will be built up in the heart of
the city. II will be in keeping with
the handsome Courthouse that stands
in an adjacent square that is the pride
OF the people OF Marion county.

Following this action the city al

opinion as TO whether or not the city
can legally levy more than So cents

that at least a 40 cent levy will be
necessary to maintain the city govern

"a resolution was passed notifying
saloon men to prepare to close up on
the night of June 80, the date the pres

The former action OF the council is
no longer regarded as joke by many
who at first thought that the body
would reconsider the question and
grant license.
There is practically no chance now
that the saloon will remain and the
revenue question is serious. Last

OF northern Virginia. In his last
order the veterans whom he had led
through years cf varying fortunes
General Lee assured them that they
could 70 to their homes with the con :
soiousness of duty we'll and faithfully
performed. He exhorted them to &C
cept the results of their resort to the
arbitrament Of arms In good faith and
to devote their energies thenoeforth
to restoring the wnste places in the
South and to developing its resources.
General Les was not man of many
words, But what he said came from
his heart. and was strengthened by
calm Judgment and exalted purpose.
His counsel sank deep into the hearts
of the Southern people. He was. aft

General Loe for his refusal to en-.

The force which General Lee sur.
rendered at Appomattox was only a

army of northern virginia-that
army of which Swinton, the historian
Of the federal army of the Potomac.
wrote In terms of discriminating
praise and admiration. 1t is said
that Stonewall Jackson declared on
one occasion that General Lee was

and courage to the climax at Appo-

faithfully in the years succeeding the
