thousands upon thousands of fatal ILL

Special Correspondence.
This is one of the most thriving,
industrial towns you will find with
in a radius of ten thousand miles.
Beautifully situated in the valley
of the great Ohio, at the foot of the
great Letart Islands, with a broad
plain of productive farm land, fields
of coal and forest lands, stretch
ing away in the distance back of
it, settled with thrifty and prosper
GUS people, all who by their native
industry make it a great shipping
point for timber and farm products
of all kinds. There are number
of stores in this place, doing good
business. We notice mall of them
"no loafng allowed" Two saw
mills, grist mill, big cider mill
hundred barrel day, two barber
shops, cooper shop, two graineries,
coal yard, and Justice of the
Peace, where the law is administer
ed, retail or wholesale, a school of
"high larnin, a magnificent church
now about to undergo extensive re-
pairs, &c, and new seats will be
placed therein. Some say the old
ones aren't fit to sit on or go to
sleep in. There are two M. DIS at
this place and a small. we'll kept
cemetery, bearing testimony to the
good health of the community and
the skill of the doctors. This is a
good place to come and live, make
your home, money and do business,
if business you want to do. Ifyou
want to sleep, go to the village of
Letartsville across the river. They
have hotel there, and you will
not be annoyed by the hum and
whir and the bang of factories,
such as you would hear in this
place. Some call that place Lee
tart, Ohio, but it isn't, it is Lee
tartsville, but they call it Letart,
setting up after the fashion plates
of this place.
Tho islands above are being
shorn of much of their beauty by
the removal of the timber thereon.
Mr.. Koontz has floating saw
mill, the Clipper, clearing the is
lands of everything, from ship
timber to bed Stats. This despoils
the beauty of the island, and will
cause the owner, j. III. Sayre,
much loss we fear, by reason of
the land caving in, two acres of
its sand having already passed
down the river.
But below are the falls, pictur-
esque and interesting, always,
where the music of the great wa
ters may be ever heard as they go
ripping on over the rugged shoals
and sweeping on, to help make the
mighty ocean. Legend tells us
the falls took their name from old
man Letart years ago.
Only two things this place lacks
of being city of magnificent dis
tances, is Jno. Ct. Stortz and his
electric light plant and telephone
for getting news; the latter isn't
necessary however, since it is only
sixteen miles to Mason City, and
fourteen across to Point Pleasant,
and you can step out any time
and hear Myers at Mason and Joe
Holloway at the latter place, both
talking aloud at one and the same
time, over topics of the day and
reading tho Daily Register.

Cement or Clay?

Engineer Haynes said that he
thought that the city had got done
with using cement pipe for sewer pur-
poses.
Aids Zimmerman and Bradley said
that they had had enough of cement
sewer pipe, as experience had shown
that it is not durable.
Mr.. Haynes said that the sewers are
built for fifty years. In the eastern
cities cement pipe is being taken up
and vitrified clay put down, as the
cement pipe is not durable.
Mr.. McMurtrie said that he hoped
that cement pipe would net
be used, as he knew that it would not
last as long as vitrified clay pipe
The vote on the pipe question was
