Clyde Park, of Joker. was in
town one day last week.
George McEndree, of Pine
creek was in town Wednesday.
A. E. Kenney is at Grantsville
paying some rentals and surren.
dering some leases.
Hagan Barr came up from
Parkersburg Wednesday after
an absence of several days
Superintendent Oles, of the
West Virginia Carbon Works,

last week visiting her mother
and other friends.
Mrs. Arthur G.. Miller was a
passenger on the Clarence Sat-
urday for Parkers burg where she
will visit a few days.
Watt Stump has again become
resident of our town, having
moved into the house recently va
Gated by G. G. loves family.
Reese Blizzard, Jr. has opened
an office in the Odd Fellows
building on the second floor in
which to conduct his insurance
business. Call and see him.
Attention is called to Miss
iona Marshall, Stenographer's
card elsewhere in this paper.
Miss Marshall does absolutely
first-class work, and is accurate
and prompt and her charges are
very reasonable.
The case of the State VS.. Roy
Knight for stealing whiskey,
mentiJned in last weeks paper,
came up for trial in Squire Hays
court again Friday, and after an
all day session and much wrang-
ling among the attorneys and
witnesses, the jury failed to ag-
rec on verdict, and the case
has been reset for Feb. Is.
Peter Hicks and son "Chub"
have sold their barber shop to
Ben Rogers, who formerly work
ed here, but who has been prac-
ticing his profession at Harris
vile for several years. Mr..
Hicks will assist Mr.. Rogers on
Saturdays. The Grantsville peo-
pie would indeed feel lost to go
to the barber shop on Saturday
and not find Pete there, as he
has been on hand every Satur-
day for the past thirty years.
We call attention to the adver-
tisement in this issue of S. F.
Crane, General Agent of the
Southern States Mutual Life In
surance Company, of Charleston,
West Virginia. This is Mutu-
al Home Company, made up of
the leading bankers, merchants
and business men of the state.
The Company is not quite three
years old and have $4,000, 600
paid for business on their books
and this is certainly a fine oppor-
tunity for a live agent.
