Report Of Monument Committee.
To the citizens of Point Pleasant
and vacinity:
Your committee, appointed at a
meeting of the citizens of Point
Pleasant, in September 1895, acting
with a committee appointed by the
common council of said town, to as
certain the amount of the fund
known as the "Lewis Monument
Fund" and how the same is invest.
ed, are now ready to make a full re-
port to any meeting of the citizens
called for the purpose.
We might add that said commit
tee found that s5,868.O7 had been
loaned several years ago, by order
of the committee in charge of the
fund, the borrower executing his
notes for the same with personal Sc
curity. These notes are payable
upon demand, and bear interest at
the rate of four per cent. per an
mum. There is about $1,000 of in.
terest now due upon said notes.
There is another fund of about
ST. 900 held by other parties, which
is loaned out and in the hands ofre-
liable persons. All of she money
above named, is in the hands of par
ties, who are competent to pay at
any time, and no doubt will do SO
whenever demanded by any com
mittee appointed to collect the same;
whenever steps are taken to apply
the same to the purpose for which
it was appropriated and donated.
We do not think a committee can
be appointed to take charge of this
fund legally, excepting at meeting
of the citizens of this town and its
vicinity.
We are all interested alike in this
matter, and should have a common
interest in seeing that this fund
should now be applied in the erect
ion of a suitable monument to the
memory of the brave men who gave
up their lives in the battle of Point
Pleasant, on the 10th of October
1874. We succeed to the benefits of
their self, sacrificing patriotism and
their heroism. Let us all interest
ourselves in this matter, and see
that this mark of respect is no
longer withheld from their memo
ries.
Looking to the erection of this
monument, we the chairmans oft
different committees appointed as
heretofore stated, now call a meet
ing of the citizens of Point Pleasant
and vicinity, to be held at the Court
House in said town on Friday,
November 8th, 1895, at 7 o'clock p.
m, at which meeting a full and de.
tailed report will be made by said
committees, and the meeting will
then take such action in the premi-
ses as they may be advised will be
proper and right. We hope ali our
citizens will be present at this meet
ing, and aid by their presence and
counsel, in carrying into effect this
patriotic undertaking.
Very Respectfully,
R. S. Bickel, Chairman of the
Joint Committee,
John E. BelIer, Chairman of the
Committee on the part of the Town
Council,
Rankin Wiley, Chairman of the
Citizens Committee.

has been said against the use of tobacco,

over 434, 900, 600 pounds produced in

James I wrote q piece called s<'i

expected that it would entirely stop the
use of the weed, but it is now one Of
the staples Of this country, and its COM

Pope Urban VIII issued a bull ex-

in this fair land where each pew has

of the suppliant.

hours ride where the ladies decided to
institute reform and so scrubbed out
the building and asked each individual
personally who used tobacco to leave his
guild at the door. This was done, one
family Of nine in assorted sizes leaving
nine kinds of guilds at the doorstep
along with the others, and yet when
the presiding elder came to hold quar-

knot hole at four yards three times out
of possible four during prayers. A
sister who spoke to him about it and
called attention to the struggle they
were making to keep the house Of God

To Respect Private Property.
Two days after he attained command,
Washington issued the following order:
1.-THE General most earnestly recon-
mends and requires of all the officers that
they be exceedingly diligent md strict in
preventing all invasions and capture of
private property in their quarters or else
where. He hopes and indeed latters him
self that every private soldier will abhor
and detest such practices when he con-
siders that it is for the preservation of
his own rights, liberty and property and

1t was the first time that Washineton's
position and the desperate venture on
which they had entered had been formu-
lated into words. Washington, who had
risen smiling, stood silent and pale: one

Scarcity of Powder.
The scarcity of powder was one of the
most distressing wants of the little army,
and we find it ordered in this first Fourth
of July of IL national struggle 'sthat
there be III pieces of cannon or small
arms fired from any of the lines or else.

defense or special order given for that
purpose" Our men could not afford to
waste a single round of shot or powder,
and this order had to be repeated more

Notwithstanding all Washington's eau
ton, however, it was found II little later
that the powder was almost exhausted.
The committee of supplies had made a
strange mistake. They had made Il re-
II of all the powder collected by the
province, more than three hundred bar
rels. but had forgotten to say how much
of it had already been used up. There
was only enough to furnish nine cart
ridges to each man.
