The Tunnelton people have arranged
with the Colt Lyceum Company for a
series Of lectures aud entertainments for
the coming season. This is our first ex-
perience in this line but there is no such
word in the function lexicon as "fail."
The lectures and entertainments are
among the best in the country and il is
hoped that each one will consider himself
a committee OF one to boost for the Colt
entertainments.
Appropriate Easter exercises we're held

were largely attended. Those who had
charge Of training the children deserve

Two OF the busiest days i'm Tunnelton
for some time was last Friday and Satur-
day. Early Friday morning two and
| four horse wagon teams commenced to
pour into town until one began to think
that Barnum and Bailey's great circus
and menagerie was coming to town. But
upon inquiry it was learned that it was
one OF Tom b. Stones phosphate days.
There were hundreds of teams from King
wood and Reno districts to haul away the
phosphate. Mr.. Stone informs me that
he has sold eighteen car loads of phos-
phate to the farmers of Barbour, Taylor
and Preston counties this season. He
has been selling the farmers phosphate
Tor years and they have found him so
reliable in his representations that the
sales have increased from one car load 70
| eighteen. Mr.. Stone is one of the most
up-to-date and progressive farmers in the
state, and 1t is cafe to say that he is per-
sonally known to more people In the
counties OF Barbour, Taylor and Preston
than any other person within their
| borders.
1t will be pleasing news to the legion of
friends of DR.. Amos Carroll Conley TO
know that he is recovering from his re-
cent illness. DR.. Conley is, today, the
dean of the medical profession in this
county, and, in fact, one of the oldest
physicians in the state. Although near
ing the octogenarian period DIR. Conley
possesses a mental vigor not to be found
in men many years his junior. Besides a
thorough and up-to-date knowledge of
medicine he is conversant with and takes
an interest in the live topics of the day
that besPeaks the enterprising and good
| citizen that he is.
