This estimable woman was born in
Mason county in 1888; was married
ard moved to Point Pleasant in
1856. where she has been, and
known by every one. as quiet
home loving christian woman. She
was the mother of ten children,
nine of which followed her to Ler
last resting place at the family
burying ground at what is known
as the "FowIer grave yard" They
mourn their great loss, but the
"Beckoning hands of a mother will
ever reach out for the loved ones
left here, and draw them upwards
to whore "partings are no more"
A. FRIEND.
Hon James b. Manager presented
a petition, largely endorsed, to the
council Monday night, asking that
two arc lights be established, one at
the X. & NJ. bridge where the same
crosses Main street, and one at or
near the K. & NJ depot. There
seems to be concensus OF opinion
that both lights are badly needed.
Now let the council turn its atten-
ton to getting rid of the low avn
ings and tree branches that are a
nuisance to everybody. Why this
matter has not been attended to be-
fore is a mystery. There ought not
to be any pets in the administration
of public affairs, and the way to
keep people from justly thinking
about pets is to treat all alike. The
trees on Wand street were trimmed
to the great advantage of the public
and to the looks of things generally.
The branches of the trees on upper
Main street hang SO low that the
electric lights are of little good.
More light, gentlemen.
