fine form for the reception OF our
friends, the West Virginia editors
whose visit we anticipated with much
Measure. Never did Marietta present
prettier appearance. Her streets not
only swept, but washed to whiteness
by the copious grateful showers were
sight to gladden. the eyes OF the visi-
tors were they eyer so fastidious.
The program as printed yesterday
morning was carried out to the letter.
The party was met at Williamstown.
and by the courtesy of Captain M. +.
Noll was brought oyer to Marietta.
Carriages awaited them and quickly as
possible wore filed, the drivers going
'hither and yon about the city, and
showing the gentlemen and their lady
friends thesights of the new Marietta.
The citizens who had double carriages
graciously put them at the disposal OF
guests, and in many cases accompanied
them to point out the attractions and
make pleasant their stay, The. ride
was glorious, and was greatly appreci-
ated.
After the ride came short interval
of rest and then the exhibition run of
the Fire Department. The run was
a good one, and water was thrown at
the foot of Front street in three min
utes from the time of the alarm.
After supper at the st. Cloud and the
Bellevue, the lantern parade was the
thing to see, and it was grand sight
Lady and gentleman cyclists to the
number of IT'S turned out-and the
town itself, to see them. 1t was by
long odds the best parade we have
ever enjoyed witnessing.
