The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-02-09

The hotels and residences here as
rule are built with no thought Of cold
weather and the discomforts OF the
past few days to us northerners who
have warm homes, can better be imag.
ined than explained.
The people here are very kind and
courteous, though in some things ex.
tortionate, and l feel the keenest sym.
pathy for them in their present mis-.
fortunes and cannot figure out how
they will overcome them. The major.
ity of the people are poor and the
tourist crop" as well as the citrus
crop, is one they look forward to very
hopefully each winter.
This country is noted for its fresh.
water lakes, there being some 2,70o
in all, and OF course many game Ash
abound In these, which lure the ariR.
lers from many states. A party Of
four OF us one day caught ninety
black bass and pickerel, and It was.
mt very good day for bites either.
We have rented for two. months a
very pretty furnished bungalow and
are keeping house and feeling quite
at home. We awaited the arrival Of
The West Virginian each day rather
anxiously to learn the news from home
and friends. The anxious fathers and
mothers Of Fairmont at this time have
our sympathy and prayers. May their
precious little ones be spared the great
affection. Sincerely yours
F. P, KELLEY.
