For the first timo since the Yost
law went into effect-and that ts q long
time, all things consdered-there was
an actual dearth OF liquor in Fairmont
this week.
Gentlemen who have never found It
difficult to satisfy their own appetites
and occasionally even have little
with which TO brighten the corner oc-
cupIed by some of their friends, went
around with their tongues hanging out,
tlguratiyely speaking and confessed
that It actually was Impossible to buy
drop OF liquor OF any quality In the
county. Isl ta5

popular fellows, who shall be nameiess

am told is true most Of them are hid

venture out wear such a look OF pain
and apprehension that 1t goes right
to my sympathetic heart. Some Of these
boys have been very. nice to me during
the past year or so and hate to see
them suffer So" S
This does not oyerstate the situa-
tion a bit. The bootleggers' union
went out OF business with even more
suddenness than did the old Marietta
hotel. The explanation? The word
went round that a few astute, pussy
footed gentlemen carrying the credenr.

Some OF them decided that they were
going to go out of business, while 9TH
ers were in so deep. it is said, that
/ there was nothing for them to do but
buy Uncle Sans nicely engraved cer-
tifcate. Others simply took a hur-
| RED Journey to other cltmes.
What the outcome of the little visit
OF the revenue men will be remains to
he seen. The local liquor sieuths, who
are not so very good even at their
best, are fiabbergasted over the AFFAIR.
In the meantime about the only way in
which to get liquor is to go down to
the Point and tote in the Yost law
maximum, which, by the way. makes
the stuff cost almost as much as the
bootleggers charged and has the added
disadvantage of being an awful nufs-
ance. But it's within the law.

M. P. Conference To
Go to JanesYille

The General conference of the NJ. P.
church which was scheduled to have
been held here in May of this year,
has been changed and will meet at
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, beginning May ~.
The change was made owing to the
persistent efforts Of the churches OF
GAINESVILLE to get the conferences. that
city having been trying for the con-
ference meeting for three years. The
local church had only asked for the
conference once and it was at first
decided to hold 1t here. However, on
strenuous objections from GAINESVILLE,
the place OF meeting was changed to
that city.

This afternoon the committee ap'
pointed by the local Chamber to ar
range for, an industrial agent met and
consideredi. a number of applications
that have been received.
Several persons have applied for
the position but Is yet no one has
been selected. It is not likely that an
agent will be selected for some time
as the committee wish to thoroughly
investigate each application before ar
