Harrisville is the county seat. You

it that the average courthouse in any

Apparently Harrisville was not on

region was opened up to settlement
by the construction of a road in or
about 1900 from Clarksburg to
Marietta.
Between Harrisville and the next
town, Cairo, are a few isolated log
cabins, one falling to ruin and two or
three still occupied. The fact that
these are found here is not remark
able; the thing that strikes me as odd
is that there are so few of them. You
will find, however, in this neighbor-

thing that has almost passed out of

If members of the Ketchikan Elks bowling team had shown as much speed in competitive play early this week as they did in catching the steamship Queen last night, the pin smashers that rep resented the Juneau Elks in the recent tournament would have been left. so far behind as to be unable to see the leaders at all.
 The Queen had whistled short blast for the taking of the gang plank aboard. when the Ketchikan bowlers left the Elks Club for the steamships wharf, some three or four blocks away. They stepped the distance in nothing flat. They were well aboard with time to spare before the ship cast off her lines.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 29. AS though determine 10 laugh off any thought of economic depres- sion for the new year, filmland is planning to launch a new tidal wave of comedy in 1881.
 When thinks looked pretty dark in a business way last year the studios discovered at about the same time that the American pub lie wanted to laugh away its troub- les and would pay good money for the privilege. So comedy after com edy rolled from the movie mills, and the majority made money.
 This year they're taking up the laughter theme with new energy, and the cinema clowns appear to be at the gateway to their biggest boom.
