This is the most pleasant summer
THAT the people Of Fairmont, as q
whole, have enjoyed, and It seems as
the years go by that old Fairmont be,

summer. SOf course,lt becomes as hot
is any place in the middle States and
all suffer from the heat during work
| ing hours, but when the day-is done
and darkness falls from the wings OF
night there are many places to go
that are really places Of enjoyment
and It Is most pleasant to pass away
the warm evenings there.
Looking back at the past and at the
present one can readily see what a
difference there is in summer diver
sIons In Fairmont last season and this
summer.
For illustration, anew park has
been opened, its a place most charms
ing to spend the evening and any city
the size OF this municipality would be
proud ofsuch resort,
II is just far enough 'out of the city
limits to give one an enjoyable, cool
car ride, but not too far to make one
tired before arriving at it. Then at
frequent intervals concerts are given
iby the best band in the State, the
First Regiment band which always
renders a most excellent programme
under the direction Of lis able leader,
Prof. VIM. H. Omen. The park is "a
thing Of beauty" and II is to be hoped
that 1t will be a joy forever or at least
during this generation, who so much
appreciate It, which appreciation is
emphatically demonstrated by the
thousands who frequent it weekly dur.
ing the-hot weather.
Then when baseball game is to-
be pulled off here-as this evening at
six o'clock when the Indian team
plays the Monongah Glass house boys
-Fairmont has grounds that is sec.
ond TO none in the entire country.
Even though this city has not ball
team this season, it, nevertheless, has
a place on which to play that cannot
he surpassed and which will be used
regularly next season, if all plans
carry.
Street car riding is one Of the most
pleasant evening diversions during
the hot weather by the American peo.

mont does not take hack seat; she
Has on, Of the best trolley systems in
This country, leading 10 all points on
the compass; the road,beds are good
and the cars are clean. The company
is to be congratulated upon one thing
in particular: that when there is an
unusually large crowd to takeSr rides
more cars are put on for the time be.
ing and It is a rare thing that one has
to stand up in Fairmont cars. What
other city in this section of the Uni
ted States can say such truthfully?
Tho fines have been extended greatly
duringthe past several years and the
most recent extention was the Fair
view line. This is one of the most
plcasatit summer evening rides to be
had in this part OF the country,
through the valleys. dales and woods.
It is no unusual thing for a crowd of
young folk TO take car for that
place to enjoy the ride and supper at
the towns hotel, returning in the cool
of the night.
Fairmont can boast Of the best and
coolest moving picture show houses
In this part OF West Virginia. and 1t
is there that thousands OF men, wo-
mon and children spend afternoons
and evenings under tho electric fans.
Taking all in all there is no place
in this country that has anything on
Fairmont when it comes to spending
pleasant summer evenings, and well
do the people know 1t.
