BLOOMINGTON


Mr.. Fred Morehead has purchased
from Mr.. George Barker, of Keyser,
his six-cylinder Overland car.
Mrs. James Coffman was called to
Keyser a few days ago on account of
the serious illness of her sisters little
boy.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
daily papers report car delivery 100
per cent, operators and miners COM
plain of just the opposite.
Mrs. H. M. Kemp, of this place, is
visiting her daughter and son-in-law,
Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Rathbun, in Oak
land.
The Silver Coal Mining Co., operat-
ing at Beryl, are making preparations
to give their employees one of the most
hilarious Fourth's of July that has
ever been celebrated in this section.
The big dancing platform on the
mob" is being repaired, the grounds
adjoining cleaned up, ready for the
speech making, music, dancing, eats
and fire works. Of course it would
hardly be a perfect Fourth of July
unless the distinctively American pas
time, base ball, was a special feature
of the day. Admittance free, the
company puts up the stuff under the
direction of a committee of stock
holders.
Mrs. Nancy Guthrie, of Buffalo, N.
Y, en- route to Terra Alta, where she
had been called to visit her sister,
Mrs. Nellie Jones, the latter having
been painfully injured from fall
down stairway in her home, stopped
off and spent short time with reld-
tives in Bloomington. She was accom-
panied by her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Beulah Guthrie, wife of Rev. Charles
Guthrie

Certainly we saw the airplane on
Saturday afternoon. 1t made enough
noise to attract the attention of ev-
erybody in town and only those who
thought the noise to be the popping
Uf a locomotive missed the sight. 1t
passed directly over the town in a
northerly direction and was just two
minutes in passing from one horizon
to the other, steering directly west.
!, The Mastellar Coal Company con-
templated quite an extensive addition
to their plant this summer. We under
stand ten or twelve buildings for the
employees will be erected on the pla-
teAu surrounding the residence of the
Superintendent. The homes will be
twd stories, five or six rooms with
all tnodern conveniences.
