QUITS LIVERY TO ENTER
MINE MULE BUSINESS
Mr.. A. J. Reynolds, Who Has Been
Successful Here to Sell Out His
Stock.

After twelve years experience in
the livery and boarding stable bust
ness in this city, Mr.. "A. j. Reyonlds.
known as one of the most successful
liverymen Of the city, has decided to

The Man on the BOX.

On Wednesday, April 18th, at the
Grand, theatre goers of this city will
have an opportunity to see the drama.
tization OF Harold McGrath's popular
novel, 1.-THE Man on the Box" which
was made for Henry z. Dlxey, and in
which he starred for two very sue.
cessful seasons.
The cast Of the special company
presenting the play here is headed by
Wilmer Walter, young American ac,
tor who has been connected with sew,
eral Broadway productions in past
seasons. and he and his supporting
company play the comedy with just
the right proportion Of exaggeration
and elegance to make an evenings
entertainment Of delicious foolery
Under their touch it seems the most
natural thing in the world for a per
fectly sane young gentleman to at
tempt practical joke by playing
coachman and tobring up in the police
court because he had mounted to the
wrong box: and quite the natural con
sequence for the young lady, to the
box of whose carriage he had mounted
to pay his fine and to hire him for the
coachman he pretends to be, that she
may find out at her. leisure who he
really is. So they begulle us step by
step into believing in their escapades
And all because they play the comedy
naturally and vlyaciously and even
with.elegance They act as men and
women are supposed to act; they
point their satirIcal comicalities guile
lessly unconscious of them.
The play will be presented with spe
cial settings, with no detail Of stage
production sighted, and the presen
tation is truly one of the theatrical
events OF the season,

4 aln ADVERTISEMENT.

In this issue OF the West Vlrginlan
appears four page advertisement OF
Levi B! Harr, theslocal real estate
dealer which Is the largest advertise
ment ever published in a Fairmont
newspaper by any Individual or firm,
and speaks well for Mr.. Harris enter
prise and reflects the optimistic feel
ing Oh the community as to the bust
ness out look in geenral for the Fair
mont region.
Mr., Harr has always been a liberal
user Of printers ink and he is in no
way selfish in his advertising as he
has done as much possibly to boost
the city in a geGeral way as he has to
advertise his own business.
Mr.. Harr has promoted some of
Fairmonts most extensive real estate
developments. He promoted and
financed the Fairmont Industrial
Company and the Monongahela In
dustrial Company, deals aggregat-
ing a half million dollars. He con-
ceiyed the development Of Morgan
town avenue, which is one Of the long,
est paved driyeways in the State, and
had the magnificent Fair Grounds,
which are now the pride OF the Mo.
nongahela Valley, on paper years be-
tore the race track was completed.
Mr. Harr owns many lots along the
entire length of Morgantown avenue,
which is one Of the prettiest, widest
and best residence streets in Northern
West virginia, along which now many
new and pretentious residences are
being built by the best citizens of
Fairmont.
Mr.. Harr presents a wonderful list
OF other properties throughout the
city and his advertisement with a
planned circulation Of over 10000 will
no doubt be the cause of many real
estate deals in the near future.
