In a fac-simile copy of the first is.
sue of the Public Ledger, Geo. w.
Child's paper, dated March %, 1886,
there is Wheeling stage coach ad-
vertisement, informing the public
that a line of Post Coaches leaves
Philadelphia every morning for
Wheeling by way of Columbia, York,
Gettysburg, ChambersDurg, and
Washington, making the trip in fifty
hours.
The old stage line probably pass
ed through Hagerstown and Mar
tinsburg, or connected with another
line from Washington to Cumber-
land, Wheeling and Pittsburg. Rail
roads were then unknown. Now
this country is cut up with railroads
from one end to another. All in
fifty years. At that rate in fifty
more there will be air lines to every
part of the world, and tramps will
ride to Europe in palace cars instead
of walking on the cross ties.

The Corporation of Martinsburg has

places. There is suit now pending
for damages to property, and Others
will probably follow, involving the
Corporation in great trouble and ex-
pense. 1t is a matter to be settled be-
tween the authorities and the tax-pay-
ers, but it shows the necessity of hav-
ing some one capable of laying out
and grading streets,-a regular Street
supervisor, elected by the people and
paid yearly salary, under bond for
the proper discharge of his duties. A
town of the size of Martinsburg, with
the extent and cost of its streets, can
not expect to get councilmen who can
give their time and attention, and be
qualified to have uniform system of
grading and one that will stand in
law from year to year-men with the
experience Of civil engineers all for
$50 year. There is, a great deal of
street work to be done, and it should
be done right, according to law. No
one can do this unless he has made
that kind of work study, and gets
paid for his labor.
