COMMUNICATION
From One of Point PEASANTS Enterpris-
lug Business Men.

VIII the people of Point Pleasant
ever learn to recognize good thing
when they see it? In most towns
if a newspaper should devote as
much space to advertising the in,
dustries and showing up the numer-
Gus advantages that their city poss
essed as was given in the columns
Oft DAILY REGISTER Saturday and
continued to-day, the business men
and officers of the town would be
fighting for copies and sending
them to every manufacturing en-
terprise within a radius of one
thousand miles. This is not an edi-
torial but a contribution from a
reader of the DAILY REGISTER who
appreciates in the fullest sense
every word and every line that is
devoted to our merchants and manu-
features and calculate to attract the
attention of people from a distance
with means and able to aid us in
development could they only be in
duced to come and locate with US.
There is no use in talking, town
will not boom itself, and it is only q
question of time until lot of young
and progressive men get the upper
hand with us and just then the
town is going to take a sudden
bound forward, and her rapid
growth will be the gossip from
Pittsburg, to Cincinnati My idea
is to push matters along, don't wait
for the natural course of events. If
we do, this may benefit our child
rem and our grand children, but
where will we be benefited. Be-
sides this is not modern nor pro-
gressive Lets be up to date and
remember we live in 1895. We are
to day enjoying the convenience of
every modern invention as a people
enjoying modern science and every
sort of advancement. We find it on
every side, every way we turn and
all we need do is to reach out and
with little effort, little pains, per
haps a little money, we can be in
strumental in starting up the NUM-
ciple machinery of our nicely situa-
ted town, aud if she gets too big for
some OF our old pioneers, they can
bic away to the hills of West Yir-
ginia, and take up their abode with
the sturdy backwoodsman without
a fear of ever beipg disturbed by
press or pulpit.
a special grand jury was called
yesterday, and five indictments for
felony were found.

For some time the proprietors of

money from their Office cash box in
the cigar case, ranging in sums
from fifty cents to one dollar, and
also their finest cigars from the

know who the thief or thieves

to catch them, if possible. Acting
upon this idea, Thursday night
they marked a lot of silver coin
amounting 10 about So aud placed
it in the cash box and also left four
or five dollars more in the drawer,
aud also marked the screws that
fastened the back of the cigar case.

on the Office from the outs de.
Along in the night the porter shut
off the electric lights and let his
partner in the back way, and then
sat down by the window, so that he
was in full view of the officers,
where they could see him. but not
see his partrer at work in the
rear. who was committing the rob
berry.
AS soon as the robbery was dis
covered, word was sont to all the
saloons and stores to keep a look
out for the marked pieces of money,
aud told who were suspicioned. A
short time afterward, colored man
named Harrison johnson walked
into the Gem saloon, and called for
drink, Offering one of the marked
quarters. The proprietors of the
Gem notified the Phenix, and in a
short time johnson was arrested
He was searched and a number oil
pieces OF the marked money was
found on him, also lot of fine
cigars Soon after the porter
Lewis Craig, was also arrested by
Chief OF Police Smith and Constable
