THE LENGTH OF THE SESSION.

A new question Is under discussion.
Now that Congress Is getting into its

1t is estimated that the tariff will
be before the Senate for at least two
months. Some experienced legislators
think 1t impossible for the bill to
reach the President before September.
If the currency bill follows, that

two months. and maybe longer. 1t IL

If. therefore, November |, or Is,

Next year new House and a third
OF the Senate must be chosen, and
both parties will want to begin car.

tt,ooo Telephones In Use Here,

one of the things that will show that
Fairmont is growing and that the
growth OF the city is of a substantial
nature is the fact that the telephone
companies have been putting in n
great number of phones. This develop
ment vii be of surprising nature 10
most OF the men who keep close tab
on the unfolding OF the city's business
and industrial activity. Over eleven
thousand telephones are in use in
Fairmont aud vicinity. Most of these
subscribers have been secured in the
past couple years. All of the sub
scribers are of the best citizens TO be
iound In the community and this
makes the telephone business n safe
and paying one.
