Place for Amusement.


Why not have place for amusement
for the young and old? When days
work is done there would be nothing
nicer than Nickelodeon or Vaudeville
show to attend, especially these long,
lonesome winter evenings.
There is no reason why all should not
attend, unless it would be crank or a
dreamer. There has been such amuse-
ment in town, but there was always some
reason why they quit.
The people should all take an interest
in getting some one to start something on
this line, and when they have started 1t,
all should patronize it.
We had an opera house, but about a
year ago, as you all know, it was destroy
ed by fire, and left us without place Of
amusement OF any sort. Not even q
place for public gathering
Now if we all take an interest in this
matter we will get some one interested in
building new opera house, and besides
have Nickelodeon running every night.

The People Did More Than
Expected.

The latest figures on the Amendment
are that the majority is .S7,033 This is a
larger majority than ever dreamed Of. 1t
was first placed at an estimate of 10000,
SO this unexpected majority shows that
the peoplelmeant what they said, land that
all the workers for the Amendment have
done their part.
If the liquor interests and brewers spent
that $500, 900, which was reported as be-
ing placed in the Wheeling banks to de-
feat the Amendment 1--WE doubt very
much their spending it for they could see
their Waterloo before the election as well
as the temperance people) they surely
will make 1t up in some way, and unless
the national congress takes some steps
concerning ''dry territory" the law en-
forceinent in this stste will be very
irving.

Building a Business.

Thousands of merchants see their side
only in transactions. Consequently they
lose many customers. One of the heads
OF a large, successful house is continually
telling its employees to look at the custo
mers side-to put themselves in the
customers place. Satisfied customers
are the foundation stones of a successful
retail business. Once merchant adopts
the policy of satisfying every customer
much has been done to make his business
successful.
A mechanic explained why he trades
no more at .........,.... store. II bought
a pair of shoes there. They said the
shoes were good, but in a very short
time the soes lett their uppers. l took
them back but got no satisfaction"
That happened several years ago. That
store lost customer. In the course of
these few years, profits on sales to this
man would have made the giving away
of pair of shoes small matter.
Dropthe unreasonable and unprincipled
customer. Give the others the benefit of
the doubt. Satisfy them for you need
their next years business.
Satisfy your customers-the dealers.
This policy is the successful business
builder for retailer. There never was
time when this policy was more needed
by the retailer. If the retailer is to keep
business at home, he must adopt this
policy

to Child.

FAIRMONT, w Va, Nov. 17.-As a
result of investigation by the Humane
Society, Miss Minnie Flaw was ordered
to pay fine CT $40 by Mayor Smith, Of

drew the cloth tightly about the head and
then tied it, thus forming an effectual
gag. After the child was gagged, it was

two sticks and when the sticks were
worn out took paddle and continued to
beat the child.
