WATT WILL THEIR
PARENTS SAY7

Three young ladies from neigh
boring town north of here, drove down
today in a Buick roadster to do some
shopping in our metropolitan shops.
Not being accustomed to pavement
and curbs, their car refused to halt
when they yelled Whoa" and con-
sequently climbed the curb and
started up the sidewalk in front Of
the Mayors place of business, finally
coming to an abrupt halt when an
electrolier was reached.
The only damage done was brok-
en- globe on the electrolier and three
frightened ladies'.
AS they left the scene of the disas-
ter the aforesaid young ladies were
heard to remark that they hoped
their parents would not find it out.
But we are wondering Watt they
would say.

U. S. Express Company
Makes Pitts-Clarksburg
Run With B. & 0.

In order to handle express mat
ter In greater volume and rapidtty
the United States Railway Express
company yesterday inaugurated
new express service between Pitts
burgh and Fairmont, over the
Christmas season. This is an ex-
pertinent for the company and the
train runs over the B. & 0. lines.
No passengers are handled on the
trains.
The service will be effective up
to and including December "a.
The one train will leave Pittsburgh
at 5 q. m. arriving at Falrmont at
IL a. m. and at Clarksburg at l p.
m. In order for Fairmont shippers
to send expressage on this train it
will be necessary to unload their
packages at the B. & o. station by
$3.50 a. m.
The other train tor Pittsburgh
leaves Clarksburg at $3.50 q. M;
arrives at Fairmont at 1880 a. m.
and in Pittsburgh at 6 p. m. Ex-
pressage for this train, which Of
course will be the most literally
patronized in Fairmont, will have
to be at the 3. & o. station at 10
a. m. Shippers of perishable goods
will find accommodations particu-
larly good on this train.
As a, result of having these ex-
pressage trains on tho road 1t will
be necessary for shippers to send
their goods on these only as the
other trains will not carry express
matters during the time the special
trains are run.
