LOWS ARE COMING HERE
Business Men of West Virginia
City, Travelling on Special,
to Visit Okland Oct. 6.

The Eastern section of West Vir-
ginia, including the Eastern Panhan-
die, and part of Maryland, will be
visited by the Clarksburg Goodfel-
lows on their sixth annual tour which
has been scheduled for October 9th,
7th and Sth. according to an an
nouncement made last Saturday by
the Clarksburg Chamber of Com
merce, under whose auspices these
tours are conducted.
1t seems that Clarksburg was the
originator of these goodwill building
tours in West Virginia, and they have
been growing in favor each year with
the business Representatives of that
city. Many projects Of common in
terest to the cities of northern West
Virginia have been launched on these
tours, and in many instances the
Clarks5urg Goodfellows have been
able to assist in developing problems
that concerned some Of the individual
cities visited.
The 1925 tour will include repre-
sentatives from Clarksburg manufac-
turers, wholesalers, jobbers, retailers,
builders, real estate, insurance, pro-
fessional men, and, in fact, almost
every business activity. 1t will be
made up Of 125 men, including the 25-
piece Victory Band of Greater Clarks-
burg, which organization has estab-
lished pleasing reputation for itself
on previous tours.
The Goodfellows will travel on a
special train of five Pullmans and a
baggage car. Twenty-three towns
and cities are included in the itin-
erary. At each of these visits band
concerts and entertainment will be
given and short talks by prominent
Clarksburg business men will be
made.
The schedule for the three-day trip,
subject to some slight changes and
additions, is as follows:
October 6-Bridgeport, Fleming
ton, Grafton, Newburg, Tunnelton
(lunch), Rowlesburg, Terra Alta,
Oakland, Martinsburg might stop).
October 7-Cumberland (lunch),
Keyser, Piedmont, Hendricks, Thom-
as, Parsons, Elkins (night stop).
October 8-Belington, Philippi,
Buckhannon Qunch), Weston, Jane
Lew, Lost Greek, Mt Clare
1t is suggested that the business
men of Oakland meet the Clarksburg
visitors at the station upon the ar
rival of the special train and that the
town assume holiday air by display
ing flags and otherwise decorating
the business houses of the town.

BOY OF FOUR YEARS WAS
KILLED BY AUTO SUNDAY
Victim of Unavoidable Accident
the Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy
Friend, of Near HOyes. L

A boy Of four years, the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Friend, who reside
on the George f. Bishoff farm, about
two miles from Hoyes, Garrett coun-
ty, was the victim of an unavoidable
accident last Sunday afternoon when
the child was struck and instantly
killed by an automobile driven by Mr..
Frank Frantz, of Oakland, who was
driving along the narrow road and
was unable to see the child until ne
was practically upon him.
An investigation of the sad affair
was made Immediately after it was
reported to him by Officer William D.
Casteel of the State Police.
From what can be learned from a
source deemed reliable, it appears
that the father of the child was MAX
ing a slight adjustment to his car
prior to starting for Hoyes to attend
worship on Sunday. The car was
in the roadway and the child, unknown
to the parents walked from the house
to the automobile and just as Mr..
Frantz approached the little one step
ped from behind the car into the road
directly in front of the Frantz car.
The road at the point is very
narrow and gave the driver no op-
portunity to avoid striking the boy
even had time permitted him to turn
to one side.
Mr.. Frantz, according to the Off
GER making the investigation, was
travelling at about fifteen miles an
hour when the accident happened.
An examination of the child's re-
mains made by a physician shortly
after the occurrence revealed the fact
that the cause of death was broken
neck and that death was instantane-
Gus.

GARRETT COUNTY FAIR
OPENEDlTUESDAYMORNINC
Ninth Annual Exhibition in
Oakland Greatly Superior
to Former Years.

The ninth annual Garrett County
Fair opened at the Fair grounds ad-
joining Oakland Tuesday morning
with more exhibits in every line than
at any previous fair since its incep-
ton eight years ago. Every availa-
bic foot of space in the exhibition
buildings is taken up with products
of the farm, garden and the domestic
art works of the women of the coun-
ty, while the community booths occu-
py large tent procured for the pur-
pose and which occupies a command
ing position overlooking the entire
fair grounds enclosure. Within the
tent are housed the Hutton, Pleasant
Valley, Shadydell and other commun-
ity booths, including one from the
Grantsvlle section of the county. All
are tastefully arranged and attract
large numbers of people.
The Fair Association this year is
giving several thousand dollars in
premiums, besides the special prizes
being offered by business men of the
community.
The exhibits of live stock and of
purebred poultry were never so large
as this year. While herds of pure
berd beef and dairy stock are to be
seen, while the calf clubs of the coun-
ty are represented by handsome spec
linens Of cattle and sheep. The club
boys and girls have shown their in
terest by bringing or sending their
stock to be exhibited and as a result
they will be among the big prize
winners. L is the opinion of judges
that some Of the stock being shown
by the Garrett county boys and girls
Will be placed upon exhibition at one
or more Of the larger county fairs
and possibly at the State Fair.
The Fair management, until Sat
urday, thought they had number of
superior attractions to offer, but at
the last moment they were disap-
pointed and as a result no large show
is yet upon the grounds, but there are
several good attractions to be seen.
Thus far the balloon ascensions
each afternoon have been successfully
made. These occur at four o'clock
daily.
