August %, 1877. !
Editors of the Register:
Many readers OF your excellent paper
might be interested in reading u few re
marks concernipg this part of West
Virginia
Assisted by Prot. W. T. Undertake,
County Superintendent OF Schools here,
| conducted atwo weeks Normal 1nsti-
Lute in this place, ending to-day.
Although the number in attendance WAS
not small yet it did not aggregate what
we had expected. But the interest man
Tested In the cause OF education by both
the teachers and citizens was Intense.
To meet the demand Tor room and
suit the convenience of the people the
court house was appropriated. Among
the evening lecturers were Revs. Allen,
# Dayton, O., Cade, of st Adams,
Haynes, Bib and Magee, of this place,
and also lawyers Brszie and Malcolm.
Lectures were delivered every evening
except on the Sabbath.
1t is thought that great benefit will re-
suit from this institute.
Here are seen strong Notifications OF
earth thrown up by our soldiers i'll the
winter OF 1923. They are said to be
little changed, except IN beng covered
AZ with briers and bushes. | doubt not
,haL Fayetteville, buIlt upon the ruins OF
The old town, would astonlsh those who
Oeheld it after the war. 1t is u hand
some little town. having chiefly white
painted houses with ornamental yards IN
'front.' and gardens IN the rear Of them.
These Of themselves would Indicate to
strangers the taste and culture OF the
nbabLants. Perhaps brevity what you
demand of correspondents) will not per
nit me to speak Of &. NJ. Blaine, Col.
Ankrum DR.. Cooper and other re pecta-
Die citizens. | will therefore close.
