FAIRMONT GR0GERS ARE
LOOKING FOR TRADE
.FAlRvlEW WILL BE DISTRIBUTING
POINT FOR ENORMOUS TRADE
NEVER HAD BY LOCAL MEN.

Since the building of the Fairmont
and Northern Traction line to Fair
view The wholesale grocers OF tina
city have vast amount of new terri
tory to work upon and establish a
trade that hitherto was left to men en-
gagged in their line OF business that
were more Gayorably situated to sup
ply the trade oil account OF better
shlpDlng facilities. Most of this trade
went to grocers that made Waynes
burg and Burton shipping points and
from these points great territory
beyond Fairview hauled their products
Fairmont naturally was the trading
place for these country stores but the
barrier Of getting the supplies to them
was one too hard for local men to sur
mount.
This difficulty has been obviated by
tho completion OF the trolley road 70
the capital OF PawDaw district. The
local Wholesale grocers have a better
distributing point at Fairview than
any Of their competitors have in the
otheE towns. This Is great advan
tage to the local business men and
they will be able to build up an i'm
mense trade that formerly went tc
other cities.

COAL BUSINESS
REMAINING QUIET
THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE
CHANGE IN TRADE CONDITIONS
DURING PAST MONTH.

According to the statements Of local
coal, operators there has been little
change in trade conditions during the
past month. All OF the big Industrial
enterprises Of the east are not over
doing themselves and this makes bust
ness in the. coal industry slow.
There has been little activity in the
manufacture Of steel products and this
has had much to do with the contin-
ued slump in coal and coke.
The local operators are doing a bet
ter business than many Of their com
petitors in other states and there is a
ray OF hope that the trade will be still
better here. Next year according to
the statemnts OF local coal men, will
he an unusually good yea, perhaps the
best in the history Of coal production

SILVER DRUM CORPS
SOLDIER MUSICIANS HAVE SPLEEN
DID TIME AT THE PHlLlPPl RE
UNION.

No other organization attracted so
much attention at the Phllippi reun-
ion as the famous Silver Drum Corps
OF this city. This hand OF musicians
bears the proud distinction OF being
the only one that is made up entirely
of men that fought in the Union arss:y
in the civil war. These grizzled yeter-
ans all saw much active service but
march with a firm and elastic step and
stirring professionals that they played
thrilled the frames Of the listeners
Thousands Of people looked upon the
sIlvered locks Of the musicians as they
marched playing the martial airs that
urged the Blue and the Gray into
keener action in the sixties. They
were deeply moved by their presence
and playing. 80

The spirit OF comercialism was
made manifest again when number
of men tried their best to purchase
Loop Park from the Fairmont & North
'ern Traction Company. The company
was offered a handsome price for the
park by the men who intended to
purchase some surrounding grounds
adjacent to the park and then dispose
of the property by selling it to pros
pectiye builders at a very high price.
The offer was turned down for the
reason that the park owners have set
1t aside for the use Of the people and
that 1t will be further beautifled by
them. The park is something that the
people of Fairmont have longed for
and the popularity that It has already
achieved is most gratifying to the own
ers
Many handsome residences will be
erected in the vicinity Of the park.
The builders Of these homes realize
that the recreation grounds are per-
manent and for that reason they are
going to put their money in modern
homes that will be a credit to the city.
They know that there will be none OF
the Objectionable class OF citizens to
be found there and that there will al
ways be plenty of ground SO that the
