derstand that preparations are now being
made by number Of young men for a
grand Mardi Gras celebration. Over
thirty names have been signed TO q
paper calling meeting ofthose desiring
to participate in the celebration, aud
some two hundred others have signified
their intention OF attending the meeting
which will be held on Friday evening
Mardi Gras will be novel festival for
Wheeling, something probably never seSn
before by majority Of our citizens. The
gentlemen who are agitating the matter
are bound to make it a-success, and as
they are possessed OF the necessary energy
and experience they will no doubt do so
We are inclined to believe that Wheel

very 'favorably with those in other cities
