TON "A number of the substantial
citizens of Parkersburg have united
themselves under the above title and
will hold their Inaugural meeting
on June 18th, 18th and 18th 1875.
Their advertisement says:
"Our Track is a full mile in length,
wide, handsomely graded, and a
homestretch equal to anyin the coun-
try. 1t is about one mile from the
Court House, has elegant stabling
and outbuildings, and grounds OF un'
surpassed beauty.
No pains or expense will be spared
by the society to have the track in
perfect order for making fast time.
As our society is in its infancy and
has for its object the laudable desire
to improve the stock and furnish
pleasure to the community, we in
woke the cooperation and aid of the
citizens generally.
There is no better point for horses
to stop over in passing east or west,
as the track is superb for training or
exercising upon, and officers Of the
railroad take especial pains to e1-
pedite the passage offne stock so as to
meet all engagements"
Other engagements prevent our ac-
ceptance of their kind invitation to be
present.

WAYNE COUSTY-We had the
pleasure of call last week from Mr..
Bing of Wayne County, who informs
us that many of the citizens in the
upper part of that County are really
suffering for bread. The grestsource
of revenue in that region has former
" been the timber trade. The men
devoted themselves to numbering,
and purchased their breadstuffs.
Last spring the lumber trade was a
failure, consequently there was no
money with which to purchase the
necesssries of life. An effort was
made at the last County Court to get
the Court to appropriate sum of
money, to be invested in bresdstuffs,
to be sold to citizens, for home con-
sumption on credit The Court re-
fused the application, but we think
they may reconsider their action
The people of Wayne, are not i'm
provident on the contrary they are
industrious and economical, but
many of them, especially in the
mountainous regions do very little
farming.
Their experience this year will give
them a lesson, which is always safe
to heed every man who has land, no
matter what his main business is,
should raise enough grain to subsist
his family We hear that the people
in Wayne ale turning their attention
principally to farming this year.

Death OF Mr.. D. G.. Fitch.

Many of oul citizens wlllremember
Mr. Fitch who removed to this place
some time last fall from Paw Paw,
Mich, when he was book-keeper in a
large lumber concern. lie died very
suddenly in Staunton last week, and
there have been many conflicting re
ports in relation to his death. We
copy the following from the Staunton
indicator, and it is, no doubt a cor
rect account of the matter.
Mr.. Fitch was very pleasant gen
tlemanly man, and made a number
of friends when he was here.
About eight weeks since, Mr.. De-
Witt Clinton Fitch, a gentleman about
40 years of age, of engaging appear
ance and refined manners, arrived
here and put up at the Miller House,
with his wife and daughter about
Is years of age He brought letter
from Capt. Thomas Burke, the May
or of Huntington, w. Va, recom>
mending him in high terms for en-
ployment in his profession of book
keeper. He made several attempts
to obtain employment but failed, and
few days ago removed from the
Miller House to Hired apartments in
the old Valley Hotel. He had been
complaining of i'll health for several
days and Tuesday night was quite un-
well. Wednesday morning he was
worse and Drs. Hanger and Donahoe
were called in, but too late; he had
had congestive chill and sank rap
idly until 3 o'clock, when he died.
He was native of Rochester, n. Y,
during the war was a Major in the
18th Michigan infantry he was a
member of a Masonic lodge at Paw
Paw, Mich, and leaves a mother and
sister in Detroit in that State. His
widow,has paid up policy on his life
in the Connecticut Life Co.. of Hart
ford, for 81, 800. Mr.. Miller, of the
Miller House, was very attentive to
the deceased in his briet illness, and
Mr.. P. B. Sublett very kindly raised
purse for the immediate necessities
of Maj, Fitch's family V. After his
death it was first made known that
he was a Mason, and the members of
Stanton lodge Immediately took
charge of his family, and yesterday
afternoon his remains were buried
from the Episcopal church, with Ma
sonic ceremonies at the grave.

KASAwHA FALLs.-The Perry
House at Kanawha Falls, is one of
those hostelries, at which the travel>
er meets with such a kind reception
that he is 10th to leave.
The attractions there are not on
" the comforts of the house, and the
kindness of "mine host" but Others
abound. There are the mountains
which raise their SUBMITS all around;
the continued murmur and roar of
the rushing waters; the fine fishing
under the falls; the hustle of the ar
rival and departure Of trains, the
beautiful drives and walks in the vi
cinity; these all combine to make
the place attractive, and we know OF
no place that presents more pleasant
features for a sojourn during the hot
months than this. Mess. Peyton are
noted for their kind and courteous
treatment OF their guests; We hope
their house will be filled this year.

terday an old colored man who was
passing through this place on his way
to Richmond to visit his family, from
whom he had been absent II years,
met w. johnson, Familiarity known
as Buck, who swindled him out of
the money to pay his fare by selling
him bogus railroad ticket. The old
man got started, but beyond Bar
louisville the Conductor discovered
the swindle and put him off with in>
struction to come right back and have
Johnson arrested. He did so,
and on a warrant issued by Mayor
Burke, Johnson was taken TO the
Lookup; just as he was passing in the
door he broke away and ran; the
Marshall emptied his revolver at him
and then gave chase; he caught him
near Sixth avenue and took him to
Jail.

LINCOLN CoUNTY.-Judge Broun,
of Lincoln County, accompanied
Judge Ward, to Cabell G. H., on
the 26th inst, to assist the bar with

us that there is a good deal of search
ty of breadstuffs in Lincoln, but the
people will be able to get through the
summer without help.
Mr.. c. L. Bowden was in our office
this week. He has suffered greatly
by his contract for building the Court
House. He trusted to the County
to reimburse him, and put great deal
of work on the building that was not
required by his contract; the County
refused to make him an allowance
and the consequence is that he is
about $2OOO,-out of pocket, with
out counting the loss of his own time
We have heard number of citizens
of Lincoln County express themselves
favorably to the Court granting him
an equitable allowance.

Of stuff one week, and take it all back
the next. He said, he never knew
