the last time
Mr. Reese-Yes, he said something about
one thousand dollars.
Mr.. Barnsrd-Yes, but spent that long
ago. Mr.. Barnard said q united effort
would accomplish the feat. he knew Bell

subscribe as the is now. Abiding to the
park, Mr.. Barnard continued: 81 think IT
would be q good project to sell this so-called
mark and invest the $4,000, We could
realize from the sale in this road. would
rather see the $4,000 in the road than in
a public square surrounded by a board
cally in favor of the road, and urged all to
what they could do for it.
SHORT SPEECHES.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Barnards re.
marks, short speeches were called for, and
Mr.. John Dubois said: There is no effort
made to raise money. We have treated
the neighbors disgracefully. We have the
money. A little from one and little from
all and we will succeed"
W. A. Gorby said he felt that he would
assist, but not make speech.
Col. D. Rankin-Can,t make speech nor
raise $50, 900, but will give 81 or so.
Col. Cash-Will do all l can to raise
money, and do my share.
N. Sonneborn-"As o merchant think
more of the Ohio Valley than the b. & 5.
W., and will do my share"
Gen. Warner-This, now, will not stop at
Marietta Beyond Gallipolis it requires
but a few links to connect with the Tonnes
see and Georgia, one of the largest in the
United States.
Pr. King-"Never made speech, but l
will do what can to encourage"
H. Roemer-"lf We all put our shoulders
to it We can raise it"

get down the West Virginia side
II it wants to with, and
Wheeling gets the trade. Boats hardly stop
here, If Bellaire lets it for 10000 go to
the other side, she makes the mistake.
Powhatar's business alone will pay us. The
First National Bank would.
Mr.. Gallaner-l KNOW tuis iVau auu
give 500. 1t will pay me in the
way of law business. The increased bust
ness will more than pay US. We can raise
il in a week. The glass houses will
not give $1,000, but 5000 to get
it; they pay many thousands to
to get goods to C. & P. depot. We can get
$50 people who could give $3.50 piece.
Cheap produce that rotted last year on low
water would come here. A railroad from
Newport to herewould be our garden.
Mr.. Bohe-This is in the hands OF Bel
laire men. We have come here at per
sonal sacrifice TO see what Bellaire will do.
That is the question We encounter every
where. If she fails the project will go
down. Give us the assurance that you will
help it, and we can go out and boom the
road. Marrietta's experience is worse than
YOURS We have expended over $500, OOO
and yet We have no road; yet we are not

regret it, and road will be forever lost to
them. The West Va. road is death to ours,
but let US go ahead and build ours first
We don't care how you raise your mon ".
Sell your park, if you want to, but give us
the money.
Mr.. Barnard-Since have heard the ex-

Mr.. Cooper, of Marietta, suggested that a
general committee be appointed, three

Marietta and other points, to canvass the
