UNION CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH
IN wETZEL,
The Union men of Wetzel celebrated
our great national anniversary in an
appropriate and hospitable manner.
The farmers of portions of Magnolia
and Proctor townships, were the parties
that mainly got up the celebration, and
were assisted by citizens from all parts
of the county. Plenty of the most
crowned the board, and the utmost
good order and good feeling pervaded
the assemblage of over thousand
true and loyal people. The dinner
was the result of the voluntary
contributions of the sturdy yeomen
of the neighborhood; and to the credit
of the managers, let il be stated, was
conducted without the use of spiritons
or even malt liquors. The people did
eat and enjoy themselves without
money and without price. DIR. Jacob
Young, of New Martinsville, delivered,
after the reading of the declaration, a
sensible and patriotic address of some
thing more than an hour in length. In
the evening the young folks formed
themselves into a social party and en-
ioyed themselves in dance. The cele-
bration was held in the vicinity OF
Kirkhart's school house, some five
miles east the county seat.
1t will be proper to state that a ceIe-
6ration was also held at the mouth OF
Proctor, managed and participated in
by the wonderfully reconstructed De-
mocracy of the county. To their credit
let it be known, that they actually car
ried, and possibly cheered the Star
Spangled Banner, and that not far from
where the great national ensign had
been torn and insulted few brief
years since. Probably things are mend
ing in Weitzel. The redo1btable Col.
Lane, of secret se1-Uice memory, was one
of the orators ofthe occasion, aided and
assisted by LiUe General, but whether
of the National or secesh persuasion ]
am not informed. A good round price
had to be paid for the dinner and eata-
bles. Whisky is said to have flowed
freely, but not free. MAGNOLIA.
