Jumped From tho Train.

A rather peculiar episode occur
red on the late train north bound
on the o r R. Saturday evening.
At Clifton n man and woman got
aboard of the train, the man having
purchased ticket for himself as far
as Ravenswood and purchased a
ticket to Parkersburg for the woman.
When the train reached Ravens
wood the man got off and the'woman
continued on her journey. When
the train had pulled out from Muir.
rayvilIe, and was going at a pretty
good rate of speed, the woman got
up out of her seat, went out on the
platform and jumped off. One Of
the passengers who noticed the
strange proceeding notified the con-
ductor, who stopped the train and
ran back to the spot. The trainmen
with lanterns hunted all along the
track but were unable to find any
trace of the woman. The search
was continued for some time, but
without result.
No one on the train appeared to
know either of the parties or the
reason for the strange proceeding.

The Monument Fund.

All the people OF this county are
interested in the monument fund,
which has been accumulated within
the past thirty years, and to which
the Legislature added $4,000 several
years ago by an appropriation.
This fund it is now claimed,
counting the interest that has ac-
crued, amounts to between $4,000
and $4,000;
If this is correct, and the money
was gotten together, it would at
least buy the square upon which re-
pose the remains of the troops who
fell in the battle of October 1774
And with ground secured it would
not be long until enough money
would be contributed by the people
and appropriated by Congress and
our neighboring States of Virginia,
Kentucky and Ohio, to build the
monument.
We don't know positively who
has the money, but we believe it is
in safe hands and we'll secured and
will be forthcoming whenever the
people or the Monumental Associa-
ton will get matters in shape, SO
that there is a responsible head to
receive and handle the money.
We have called attention to this
very important matter time and
again, and will keep hammering at
it, until the people take hold of the
matter.
a meeting was called by Mayor
Beller, recently, but the people
either forgot the date of the call, or
were careless about the matter, as
only about "a half a dozen citizens
put in an appearance.
We are again requested to call a
meeting of the citizens of the town
and county, at the Court House,
next Saturday night, at 7;30 o'clock,
for the purpose of taking some &C
ton in regard to this monumental
fund.
We hope everyone in town will
be patriotic enough to attend this
meeting.
If we get up an interest in the
building of this monument, it will
soon be under way.
The little boys, known as the
"Blucs'' ball team, went up to West
Columbia yesterday to play a game
with what they supposed would be
boys of about their own age and
size, but when they stepped out on
the diamond, they were surprised
to find that they had to contend
with big boys and grown men. The
Blues, however, cossed bats with
them, for the afternoon. The game
stood 10 to IL in favor of the West
Columbia team. The youngsters
are very proud of the stiff game
they give these big fellows. The
boys, however, say they were
treated kindly and nicely.
