COAL IN JULY
VERY FEW PEOPLE REALIZE THE
GREATNESS OF COAL TRADE
ORIGINATING IN THIS
+. n viciNITY.
IlnILLIlN Az MONTH IN SIGHT
PRESIDENT OF 3. AND o. RAIL.
RoAD PROMISES TO TAKE
CARE OF THIS ciTY'S
INTERESTS.

The immensity OF the coal trade in
this sectionis scarcely realized by the
people that live here. Fairmont is
one Of the very largest coal stations
ION the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The revenue collected from the coal
billed over this road from the local
station for the month OF July reached
upwards OF 100000. Sour:fifths of a
million dollars was the revenue for
one month and all from Fairmont, and
this sum from one commodity alone.
The activity in the coal industry this
summer has been greater than, In any
previous season. With the Improve.
ments that are being made and the
new mines that are opening and the
present prevailing business conditions
within the next year the revenue from
coal billed from Fairmont will be
more than one million dollars per
month. One man who is In n position
to know what he is talking about said
that with business moving OFF MS 1t is
now, with coal companies making i'm.
proyementa and increasing their ca.
pacltles that in the next eighteen
months the receipts at the local sta.
tion win run s15,O0O,OOO per year.
These are: big figures but they repre-.
sent the amount of business that is
being done here.
In order to handle this increased
tonnage that Is coming to the Balti
more and Ohio railroad the transpor.
tntlon company will have to put In i'm
proyements SO that It will be able to
meet the demands that will be made
upon 1t. 1t Is said that during some
OF the inspection trips that the ON.
cials Of the big road have made here
the situation has been pretty thor.
onghly5 canyassed and that great
things In the way Of improvements
are coming in the near future. The
Z people of Fairmont have great faitl,
in President Willard. His assurance

to the people OF this section. They
feel that Falrmont. will get these i'm

succeeded in spcaring the most from the
bowl
A bottle race is next tried. The
requisites for this consist of TWENTY-FIVE
cranbcrrics, a silver knife and bottle
with not very large mouth. The guests
in turn put the berries, one at time.
into the bottle by simply using the knife
Care has to be exercised that the berries
do not roll off the knife, for that DELAYS
the contestant, who must again pick them
UP with the knife. The hostess or some
other person must have watch with a
secondhand to keep the time, as who
ever consumes the shortest time in put
ting the berries into the bottle wins the
race. Prizes may be awarded for the
various contests or not, as the hostess
sees fit. 1t makes il a little more in
tcresting to have them, and if expense
has to be considered, little favors which
are sold at the shops for mere trifes,
will be found quite appropriate.
A cranberry pie will be a welcome
feature to the evenings entertainment,
and is made after the Jack Horner fash
ion. a little parcel containing a SOU
vcnir for each guest is put in a large
round pan, and the pan is then covered
over with brown paper. Strings at
tachcd to the parcels protrude through
the paper and cranberry is strung on
the end OF each and left on the top OF
the pie, Each guest takes hold Of a
berry and pulls, This breaks the crust
and each one finds his souvenir on the
other end OF the string.
All those who take part in an eve
ning's frolic of this sort will undoubtedly
enjoy it. as the games are simple and
do not require a lot of thinking and
skill, as so many games do Then, too
it does not require lot of preparation
before the guests arrive, and this is
equally pleasing to the hostess. who car
enter into the fun without being all tired
out with lot of work beforehand.
Sandwiches, small cakes, waters and
hot chocolate will be simple but dainty
refreshments to serve at an affair oi
this sort, and those hidden to the Gran
berry frolic will surely thank the hostess
for very jolly evening
