.tises will be held at 1880 o'clock.

The Grand Opera house was built
about eighteen years ago by an Opera
House company which was composed
LARGELY OF Fairmont people. The play
house never proved a startling sue
cess as money maker. For some
time the Odd Fellows had planned to
acquire property of their own. Pala-
tine Lodge some time ago bought the
jackson hotel property. Plans were
made TO use 1t for Odd Fellow pur-
poses. but shortly afterwards Marion
Lodge bought the Grand Opera house
and then the plan of merging the two
lodges was suggested and successfully
carried ont by the proper percentage
OF members signing petition asking
the Grand Lodge to grant the con-
solidationsw which has taken place.

DAVIS ANNOUNCES
WHAT he WANTS
Has Decided Finally to be
a Candidate for the
Sh1ieYalty.

The Ancient and Honorable Asso.
citation OF Candidates for the County
Clerkship consisting OF Heck Martin,
Ed Slack and Ed Phillips, are expect
ed to hold special meeting today and
tender vote Of thanks to James Da-
Wis, for his kindness in ending the long
suspense. At last Jim has broken his
silence and announced himself not for
for the office OF high sheriff.
None of your sitting down jobs for
Jim, no more does he banker for the
swiyal chair. No, indeed. Nothing
less than chief executive officer of the
county will henceforth satisfy the
yanlting ambition OF the present in
cumbent OF the assessors office. To
pursue the pickhandler to his lair, and
be a terror to evil.doers in general,
even though 1t does require more work
in week than an assessor is called
upon to do in a month, appeals to Jim
with such an irresistible force that
the one desire OF his heart is to snozzle
the office.
The announcement, has let loose a
long pent up stream of speculation re-
garding the political situation around
the court house. II
Dopesters claiming to be in the
know, say that the fight for! county
clerk will be between Ed Slack and A,
g. Martin. That Slack is strong in the
city, but that Martin has the country
districts sewed up. The, support of
Sheriff Glover in. Warrington district
is said to be necessary for the success
of either, and as yet, the sheriff has
not declared himself.

Ida May People
Want Better Road

A small but yociferous party OF Ida
may citizens came surging into the
county court this morning voicing a
demand of the people of the town for
better road from Idamay to Farm

for many moons and is one of the few
for the improvement Of which no bids
were received at the recent session
OF the court held for that purpose.
The party consisted of a. D. Wade,

After being treated to spring4like

Evidences of cold snap were on

midnight. Early this morning it be-
gan to snow. The ground, thawed as
1t is. gave the snow no chance to lie,
but this afternoon the wind whistled
shrin and Old Man Winter was back
in old time form with snow flurries at
intervals.
Heavy rains have swollen streams
up the river and today the Mononga-

observer, who states that 1t is still

normal. The water flowed swiftly
over the piles recently driven into
the river on the East side bridge by
the Casey Construction comapny, but
Samuel Fuller, the superintendent,
expects that the current will not be
strong enough to do any damage.
