she visited. Her funeral was
preached ut her residence by the
writer, from the text second Cor

graveyard, followed by q largo con-

A petition is being circulated
through Harrison county asking
the court to submit to a vote of the
people a proposition to levy a tax
for the purpose of matchmaking
the roads of the county. Tho plan
proposed is to begin work at the
county seat and macadamize the
seven principal roads leading to
town, for u distance of two miles on
each road, making fourteen miles
each year at n cost of $4,000 per
mile, $685. 900 a year. In this way
in ten years thcy expect to have
good roads all over the county.
This is something for the people OF
Mason county to consider. Money
spent in making good roads, is
economy. We spend now, in this
county, about the above sum each
year, and have no roads either. We
may get started right some day in
road making.

Editor Inder: There seems to be
some difficulty 10 raising means to
purchase the Indian Mound at
Moundsville. For the sake of its
ancient origin and historic associa-
tion this should by all means be pre-
served. The Historical Association
of w. Va. petitioned the Legislature
to make an appropriation last win
ter for this purpose, but it wasn't
done. Why can not the school chill
dren of our State, both public and
private, start and raise this fund,
which will give them a personal in
terest in their State, and increase
their geographical and historical
knowledge. I've found them al
ways willing to aid in anything of
this kind. For the honor of the
little Mountain State this handsome
relic of a prehistoric age, should
not be allowed to be purchased by
anyone out of its borders, but should
be owned by her and her children,
heirs, and assigns forever.
KINNIE e. SMITH.
We hope our school children will
become interested in this matter,
and send in penny or nickel SUBJ
scriptions, for this fund. If you will
send your contributions to Miss
Kinnie E.. Smith, at Parkersburg,
she will see that the funds are prop
erly applied. See what you can do,
children.
