>From the Barnesville Enterprise, Thursday, October 20, 1881. "Flushing. The principal topic of conversation the past week has been the West Virginia Fair and Exposition, which was well attended by our citizens, nearly two hundred tickets being sold here last Friday. Abe Michaels and Henry Maxwell, of this vicinity, fell victims to pickpockets while at the Wheeling Fair. The former lost nearly $75, and the other a much smaller amount. The Calliopian Literary Society was reorganized at No. 1, Tuesday evening, and the following officers elected: President, J. A. Clemens; Vice-President, Elmer Conrow; Secretary, Lida Branson; Treasurer, A. B. Gilbert; Reviewers, C. T. Ransom and Jennie Maxwell. It is reported that Ephraim Holloway will be assistant postmaster here this winter. The stone work of the new school building has been completed, and the brick-layers are making good progress. It is expected it will be completed this winter. W. J. Vance recently attended the Reunion of the 15th O. V. V. I. at Mansfield, Ohio. Rev. D. C. Knowles, the former pastor of the M. E. Church here, paid our town a brief visit last week. J. A. Howell, who is attending the lectures at the Cleveland Medical College, was at home last week. He returned to Cleveland Tuesday. The mistake which occurred in last week's items was due to carelessness."
