Editor star. 1 noticed in the columns OF yoar
issue last Saturday would-b be wise letter from
q resident Of my own city, and I respectfully
beg little space for the insertion OF the follow
ing article in your next paper:
he touches upon the proposition 50 uniyer-
sally entertained OF changing the name OF our
town. The sbsurdity Of his notions the old
fogyishness Of his ideas and opinions, would not
permit me TO reconcile the author in my mind
70 any but poor, grumbling sex sgenarian, who
sees not beyond his nose. The writer saws, We
eno1id TdtseT paddle oar OtcR odn0c." We applaud
this sentiment, and agree most undeniabiy with
the author. But, IL Is the paddles We want; our
canoe now floats listlessly and indolently in the
stream; generations come and 90 and lind us
ever as we were. The resolution Of the title,
Georgetown, into W ashington, mot West WASH
ington; decry that,) will furnish us the pad
dies, by enhancing our property and imparting
a new zest 70 our business. See Even now, in
mere anticipation, jumps In glee our loved
canoe, as il sturdily mounts the dsshing wave,
and casts of the spray from its naughty sides
IL Is very evident that all Georgetown's INTEL
Iectis not concentrated In this writer's Uranium.
Who ever heard anything less sensible than the
toIowlngT LET us cherish the name OF our
forefathers, and do not let their name be wiped
out In the way that il is proposed. To be sure,
we are changing the name of a city, named
after great man, TO that named after a greater
but our old name will suit US better"
IL Is right, and in a way incumbent upon rs
10 yenerate the memory Of our ancestors but
We are not 70 sacrifice 10 them our welfare We
are indebted to George Beal cor the existence OF
our town, and perhaps we shout e thankful:
but II a change OF name would benefit US we
should not be Influenced by our yeneration for
MN. We OF Georgetown cannot afford in this
Instance to cultivate said generation 20 a very
high degree.
And now, let us have no Old fogies like this
preaching 70 us of the things they least under
stand. Georgetown is in its place a right good
name but here We may say with Cicero. obs0tedn
gam istd cratic, Washington is the name for u.s.
Now Is the time for Georgetown good sense 70
make itself apparent, and gain for itself the
means OF attaining that wealth and prosperity
which characteriZes Its sister city.
Most truly yours,
