The Commission for the selection
of site for the State Reform School
held a meeting at Parkersburg on
the 18th inst. Several offers were
received. Elizabeth, Writ county,
offers a small tract of land and ST.
500. Kingwood offers ten acres of
land and $4,000. Wheeling offered
a farm of any size the committee
might need. Pruntytown offered
the old Taylor county court house
and Jail and two or three acres of
ground. Harper's Ferry, Anderson,
st. George and Parkersburg arc al
SO applicants but have made no def
finite offers. What is the reason
Point Pleasant is not also an appli-
cant for this public building2 Let
our people get together and make
bid for it. The Commission will
visit every point where offers are
made before deciding upon a site
for the permanent location of this
institution. Point Pleasant should
not let this opportunity to get the
reform school, escape her.
WANTS TO LOCATE HERE.-An
important letter has been handed
us by Postmaster Hoy, which we
will be pleased to show to any one
who would like to read it. 1t is
from Mr. Walter Snyder. of Phila-
delphia, who desires to locate his
Knitting Factory in this city. He
says that such a factory would give
employment to a large number of
male and female operatives ut re-
munerative wages. We hope our
people will call in and read his lot
ter, and then select committee to
correspond with him. The location
of such factory in our town would
soon bring wooden factory, as well
as other manufactures. Why should
not our town move? Small manu-
factories have built up many of the
Suthern towns, and they would not
do less for Point Pleasant. Mr.. A.
B. Hamilton, of the Equity Roller
Flour Mills, is a practical man in
knitting, having run factory of
this kind for many years, previous
to locating here, and to him we re-
fer our people for information.
