MARTINS FERRY.

The most of our citizens seem 10 be pretty
well satisfied to have our large wards
divided so as TO have five or six wards IN
our city instead of three as it is now. Thls
can be done without any expense TO our
taxpavers and our city affairs would be \
better taken care Of with more Council
men. This ought to be done before our
next April election so we can elect COun- |
cilmen from the new wards.
