partment of unclaimed property at

For some tImc past parties from
Pennsylvania have been coming
over into this State and destroying
the game fish of Cheat and Monon-
gala rivers, by means Of drag nets,
dynamite, &c. After perpetrating
these outrages they would cross
back over tie line into Pennsylva-
MIA and escape punishment. The
parties have been indicted in Mon
ongalia county, but so far the officers
have been unable to capture the
enlprits.
Governor MaeCorkle yesterday
Issued a reqnisiiion for the entire
party of eight and they will be
brought back to this State and CIV
en- the full benefit of the law. Gov.
MaeCorkle is determined as far as
possible to stop this Illegal destruc-
ton of fish---RdHGlChd Gazette.
The Governor need not have gone
so far away from home, .'to protect
our fish, He could have found
plenty to have engaged his time,
right here on the Big Kanawha.
The fish law is being violated every
day aud our fish destroyed. We
hope Judge Guthrie will call es &c
iaI attention to the violotion of the
fish laws, in his charge to the next
grand jury.
We have the best line of boots
and shoes for less money than ever
shown or sold in this part of the

The cleanliness of city's streets
should constitute chief feature of
municipal pride. Her thorough
fares are her arteries of communal
life, and their hygienic condition is
fair criterion of the public health.
One of the worst nuisances the
streets is the careless habit of people
have of litteripg the sidewalks and
curbs with waste paper and rubbish.

This town, SO says Hon. Virgil A.
Lewis, will be one hundred years
old, next Wednesday, Dec. 10, 1894,
We should properly decorate the
town on the occasion of our centen-
NAL, if we can do nothing more.
All the bells ON our public buildings
should also be rung upon that day.
Let us do the best we can to observe
this day. Point Pleasant has not
made the progress it should have
done in the hundred years now
about passed, but she is getting
there, and when the next hundred
years rolls around she will be a
large and populous city, counting
her inhabitants by the hundreds of
thousands.

The Charleston Gazette in speak
ing of the wedding has this to say
of the bride and groom: The bride,
who belongs to one of the oldest
families in the Kanawha Valley,
has always been admired for her
charming disposition and high per-
sonal character, is the eldest daugh-
Their of our well known townsmau,
Col. Henry Daniel Ruffner. The
groom represents one of the most
prominent families of Mason county,
aud with his fine business qualifica-
tions and personal popularity, has
attained a high position in business
circles, being connected with some
of our largest coal interests. 1t is
seldom that young couple, starts
out in life under more nuspicious
surroundings and followed by a
greater number ofsincere and warm
wishes for their happiness.

There seemed to be such a small
difference in the bids of the West
Virginia Bridge Co, of this place,
and the foreign company, to whom
the contract was awarded for cree
ting the bridge over Sixteen Nile
Creek, that it should have been
awarded 10 our home company.
They offered a much better and
stronger bridge than did the foreign
company, and it would have been
economy as well as justice to have
given the contract to a company
composed of our own citizens. The
money would have been kept at
home and circulated among our own
people, and at the same time it
would have been an encouragement
TO a home enterprise. What would
be the result to our commercial in :
terests, if everybody would act up
on the rule laid down by the Coun-
ty Commissioners, and pass by our
stores and shops, and go to foreign
towns to do their buying, because a
few cents might be saved on a yard
of goods? Would it not be ruinous
to our business men in all branches
of trade?
