DEAR SIR-I presume you would
like to know the results of the survey
up Wood's Run, and l would have
written you sooner, bat was SO busy
that L did not make profile or map un-
I'll New Years Day.
The line is 9! miles long, and grades
from 100 to 125 feet per mile. From
stations 30 to 50 it will be necessary IL
make the grade I35 feet TO the mile or
make the work heavy. 1t will cost
about $1,000 per mile to grade it. /
think the whole of it can be done, track
included, for $50, 900. The alignment
is good, with no curves exceeding g. ,
and for the traffic between our main
line and st. Clairsville it will be all
the citizens of st. Clairsville could de-
sire. 1 think the proper way OF work
ing our eXteqsiOa, should the branch
to ST, Clairsville be built, is TO run a
morning and evening accommodation
train between St. ClairSville and
Bridgeport independent of through
trains, and also connect with all through
passenger trains. Passengers would
then avoid transfer except to connect
with through trains, and even this can
be avoided by attaching the st. Glars
vile coach at the juuction to the
through train.
If desired, | will send map and pro-
file to you, 50 that you can show it to
our St. Ciailsville friends.
Respectfully yours,

! Il FIRE COMPANY.

.
A meeting was held IN the Court House
on Tuesday night for the purpose of organ
izing Fire Company. Mr.. John w.
Todd was called to the chair and DR.. w.
G. Brown requested to act as Secretary.
About forty young men we're enrolled as
members of the proposed organization, and
the following officers we're chosen: w.. w.
Humphreys, President; John W. Todd,
First Director; E. T. Cashine, Second Di-
rector; Al. Watt, Third Director. ). w. g..
Browne, Secretary and Treasurer. A COM
mittee of five was appointed to draft con-
stitution and bylaws, and also to serve as
an Executive Committee viz: Messrs. W..
S. Brown, J. M. Sullivan, s. NJ. Pegg, J..
Reese FAINT and w. W. Keys. On motion,
the chairman of the meeting was added.
The meeting adjourned until tomorrow
(Friday) evening, wheni it is expected that
the Executive Committee will report the
constitution and bylaws. 1t is the purpose
of the organization to equip its members
with buckets and ladders, in case no better
appliances for e1tinguishing fires are
furnished by the town, as the young men
are convinced that organized efforts under
proper direction will serve to protect and
preserve property in some measure.

ACTION OF THE sLABToWY DEMO.
CRATIC GLIB.

At meeting Of the Slabtown Democratic
Club, held April 9th, the following resolu-
tions were adopted, viz:
.Resolsed That we, the Slabtowfi Demo-
cratic Club favor the County Convention
plan Of nominating candidates for all the
Offices to be filled in our County, from the
Legislature down, believing that we can
have more unanimity in this plan of select.
ing candidates than by primary elections.
Resolved, That we favor nominating men,
for Office whom the Office would seek rather
than men who would seek the Office, that
there may be as little controversy or litiga-
tion brought to bear:in, our organization
plan a. possible, which would not be the
case in the primary election plan, which
could not be carried out without contro-
yersy' and dissatisfaction. Three or four
candidates might be proposed in the same
club for the same Office, and each, of course,
would have his friends, and every person,
who is acquainted with the nature of elec-
tions, knows that it would be impossible to
conduct one even in club of three or four
hundred members without the routine of
cunning artiice, wiles and deceptions
usually practiced on such occasions,
especially where the Office is ope of impor-
tance to the officer OF the people, and as
every persons friend could not be success
full, there might be prejudice and coldness
prodnced that might damp the ardor and
patriotism of some persons by which their
influence would be lost even up to the fall
election, "A, door. is certainly opened for
such result, which we think would not be
the case in the nominating convention plan.
We therefore favor the convention plan,
and respectfully ask that other Democratic
clubs throughout the County consider the
plan we have adopted for selecting men for
Office.
The slabtown Club will hold its regular
meetings the first Saturday in each month.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Scriptures say Naaman would not
believe when told that to be cured oflep-
rosy, he had only to bathe in the river
Jordan. His unbelief brought days of
suffering upon him, as it does upon those
who delay taking MERRELL's HEPATINE
for the Liver. When the skin and eyes
become yellow in the spring season, with
pains in the head and bones Of the body,
and heavy feeling about the stomach
after meals; there is but one chance to
escape. Sickness of some sort is sure to
come, 6unless,the bile and bad blood is
carried out of the system. Go to your
druggist, rMessrs. Simpson & SadIer, and
get bottle Of MERRELL's HEpATINE,
that cIires all diseases of the liver.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The young ladiesof Columbus : Ga sare
setting an.example Of economy to the young
men, worthy Of the Centennial leap year.
In convention assembled, they have ;unani-
mously adopted the following resolutions
RESOLVED, That we have always been
opposed to ethe young gentlemen hiring
carriages to take US to places of amusement,
simply because it rained.
RESOLVED, With view of setting an ex-
ample and precedent, we obligate our
selves to ignore carriages, and provide our
selves with an umbrella, waterproof and
a pair of over-shoes, and we shall ask those
gentlemen whom we are to escort to be pro.
vided likewise. ay
These resolutions are all right, but we
fear they are entirely too good to last longer
than leap-year-like the reform policy of
the Republican party, only intended for
service through the campaign.
