IlTPRO VElfENT ASSOCTA TON.
Years ago we advocated the or
ganization of an Improvement As
ISOLATION for Martinsburg. We still
believe there should be band of
this character. We are pleased to
see that Parkersburg is at work in
that way. To show the way it is
done, we publish the following notice
from the columns of the State Jour
nal, viz:
1.-THE Parkersburg Improvement
Association announces public meet
ing at the Court House, March 80,
at 1880 o'clock, p. m, to which meet
ing all citizens of Parkersburg, who
are anxious that we should arrest
the tendency to retrogression, and
unite to make a move that will start
us onward. While the Association
thinks it is accomplishing some
thing, it appeals to each and every
citizen to come out, hear a report
and give aid to the movement in ev-
cry practicable way"

editor must find it harder to retain his self
