MARIETTA DAILY LEADER
THURSDAY, MAY 81. Isee
PERSONAL AND LOCAL.

The success of the bicycle parade
to be given this evening for the enter
tainment of the visiting West Virginia
editors depends altogether upon the
spirit of local pride possessed by Mari
eta wheelman. The expense of fur
nishing lanterns for the wheels is
cheerfully borne by the Board of Trade
and for the ladies, who are especially
invited to take part, competent persons
will be on hand at the Boat House to
attach the lights to their wheels. Let
the parade be a success for the honor
of old Marietta.
