smile. Like Feudal Knight
of old he was attended by a
corps of retainers, consisting of
members of the Chamber of
Commerce of that city and rep
resentative business men and
the Meade City band, filling a
string of Buzz wagons that made
more noise and raised more dust
than Haley's comet.
The general object of the visit
was the promotion of CONNER
cial relations between the mer-
chants of Meade and the people
of Beaver.
Besides the cultivation of per-
sonal acquaintance number of
subjects were suggested and
discussed, perhaps the most i'm
portant of which we're the bet
torment of wagon roads.
The members of this party
were lot of fine jolly fellows
who are certain to make their
town the metropolis of this sec
ton.
Mr.. o. R. Stevens. the presi-
dent of the club, and who, by the
way seems to have a habit of be-
ing president of most everything
from Dry Goods establishment
to printery was the leading
spirit of the occasion, and he
was ably assisted by Mr.. Elliott
of the First National bank.
We hope this visit will be pro-
ductive of much good and that
that suggestion of an Inter-Ur-
ban will materialize and bear
fruit.-Beaver County Democrat.
NOTES BY THE WAY.
Everybody got sunburned.
Stevens was the story-teller of the
crowd.
lin Wood did not know he was
so young till he got out with the
boys.
McMeel is not member of the
band but emusic hath power to
, charm" with him.
Tom Walters wanted to stop at
every sod house south of the line
and sell bill of lumber.
Every man whom Sweet election
eered in Beaver county promised to
vote for him at the primary.
The boys found lifting machine
and grip register and over fed both
with pennies till they refused to
longer work.
Claude Ragland's wife is entitled
to a divorce. Claude talks all the
time after he goes to bed till he goes
to sleep and doesn't stop then
When not talking in his sleep, he
laid awake to listen to Smith snore.
Beaver has a fine high school
building One hundred thirty
school marms were there attending
normal. The band went up in the
morning to serenade them and ii
was there we nearly lost some of the
band boys and banker or two.
