The address to tho graduates by
Hon. Rankin Wiley, Jr., was repIete
with good sense and sound advice.
To the citizens of Point Pleasant he
spoke of their lack of interest in the
schooling of their children. He
urged upon them deeper interest
in their schools in the future. Hc
complimented the High school in
having received from The managers
of the Worlds Fair tho highest ties
timonial for the display OF its school
work. The Board of Education was
complimented for their work and
liberal interest in every detail af-
fecting the schools.
Mr.. Wiley on behalf of the Board
of Education, then presented the
graduates with their diplomas, after
which sixty five children, in their
cheerful, happy voices, sang their
vacation song" in a manner that
showed vacation days were welcome.
Thus closed one of the most in
teresting and pleasurable evenings;
and we do not wish to close these
remarks without paying a special
compliment to him, who directed and
controlled the exercises of the Com
mencement, Prof. w. J. Kenny, the
Principal of the High school.

CIRCUIT COURr-Circuit Court
has practically closed its work for
the present term. At least the big
criminal docket has been disposed
of, and little remains of chancery
matters so that court will adjourn,
perhaps. Friday. 1t may be said
that this term has been strictly a
business session, and Prosecuting
Attorney Lon T. Pilchard is to be
congratulated on his success. He
got a verdict in every felony case
tried, except one, and in that case the
jury hung, being ten for conviction to
two for acquittaI; and the people are
also to be congratulated that the
wedge was been driven at this term
of court that will enter into the
breaking up of the gang of thieves
below Kanawha who have been
harrassing the farmers of that local
ity for years. The people will now
feel greatly relieved and breathe
easier, no doubt. as the officers OF
the court are determined to rid the
county of these thieves by bringing
everyone of them to Justice. This
was the determination expressed,
seen and made felt throughout the
court room. 1t was in the very air
during the trial of the criminal ca
ses. The first to get his dose, was
James G. Gaskins convicted of steal
ing a horse from Dave Dickens
lie was sentenced to five years in
the pententiary. Dave Boyer AL.
hilbert and Wills. Dewitt, were con-
victed of felony. The first two got
twelve years each in the penitentia-
ry and the latter five years, for hav-
ing robbed James Dewitt of $780, 90
in January last. Owen Bessey, Jas.
Seeley and Allen Seeley, convicted
of petit larceny were sentenced to
six months at hard labor in the
county Jail, as does also, Ira Pers-
niger. These prisoners will be put
upon the public roads to work out
their time. The Prosecuting At
torney signifies his intention to
have all prisoners confined on State
processes taken out and put to work
on the roads Immediately, and to
have all persons arrested on capias
profne put to work in the same
manner, unless their fines are set
tied by payment in cash.
Capt. W. r. Gum assisted in the
prosecution of hilbert, Boyer and
Dewitt, while they were defended
by Messrs. Menager and Hogg.
The prisoners have all been tax
en- to MoundsvilIe where they can
mediate over their transgressions.

1t is useless for any one to write
letters to newspapers for publication
and give no name. All newspapers
require an author, not for publica-
ton, but for backing, provided the
information received is crooked
which it generally is when the
writer lodges. Please do not send
any more of that kind here; it makes
us say words that are not in the
almanac. We can write lies enough
ourselves, at least other liars blame
us for SO doing.

The Gallipolis Journal is remind
ed, that whether it or the authori-
ties of Gallipolis, have abandoned
the theory of the murder of Amiel
Brida, of Lock IL, in their town,
lately, the people of Point Pleasant
will always believe Brida was bru-
tally and foully murdered, and that
his murderers walk the streets of
Gallipolis daily, and are known to
the authorities. Everything indi-
Gated that Brlda was dead when he
was thrown into the river. The
coroner gave it as his verdict that
Brida came to his death from vio-
lence. If the Journal and GalIipo.
lis can afford to have this dark
stain hanging over them, without
an effort to hunt down the murder
ers of poor Brida, then let it be. SO.
