Oh, yes, Mr.. Editor you think it
a nice thing, do you, for your Off

the good people of Point Pleasant?
1t is all right to rid yourselves of
such characters, but you should
not dump the "slop- barrels" of
your city, upon us. The DIRTY
Dozen" were caught on the fly"
and sent back into your State, by
our officers. They are just as slick
as your officers, so next time don't
allow them to perpetrate such an
act upon your neighbors.

TIle Poor Farm.

Surprise is expressed by the peo-
pie that no arrangements have ever
been made for religious services at
the poor farm. There are mum
Der of occupants there that need
religious instruction, and the coun-
ty should arrange for some Minis
ter to hold religious services at the
poor farm, once or twice a month,
if not every week. 1t seems to us
that our clcrgy should take this
important matter in hand until the
county authorities act. ~

A New Town.

- EN'
Mr.. WIN. Stecnbergen has laid
Off a large tract of land just across
from Gallipolis, on the river, and
running back and including the
Ohio River Railroad depot, and
has surveyed and plated it into
town lots, and will put them on
the market for sale in few days.
This is one of the prettiest loca-
tons for town OH the Ohio river,
and the most of it lies above the
high water mark of 1884. The
new town will be known as CALI
polls Ferry. We hope the pro
jectors of the new town may meet
with such success that they will
soon see one of the busiest towns
in this whole section. But we
must say that we do not think the
name selected is an appropriate
one. Better have called it Elwell.
