10 rs Editor Of the Dispatch:
think you will find on investigation
hat "GAllego." as applied to the Gallego
Nils IS a Spanish word, taking the name
from e patriotic Spaniard. who. from one
q The Spanish-American States Tor per-
hsps Cuba, gave his service 10 the colo
lies In the struggle for independence.
The name should be pronounced
Gs.yego. the double l. in Spanish being
Pronounced as IT is in our word bill
larts." The name is a Spanish family
name, ana also a Spanish proverb. /
write this 70 make a correction OF your
Pronunciation Of the word In the Query
column Of Sundays Dispatch.
Yours truly. u. +. w. {.
We were asked FOR the pronunciation OF
CALICO "as applied TO our Gallego Mills"
We gave Il perly-Gal-e-go-ths pro-
i-nc.ation that has obtained here for
tiy or sixty years.
Nor were the Gallego Mills named sfter
he distinguished spaniard. but after
us,r owner. who long resided in the house
nat used 10 stand upon tho lot At the
Southeast corner OF Main and Fifth
streets. Upon Mr.. Gallego's death. the
house passed into the hands OF Mr.. John
Allan, who had many years before
ADOPTED the orphan. Edgar Allan Poe.
And 50 we say "Gal-ye-go" might go in
hia!n. but that in Richmond We say
Oal-e-go, and have done no for 10 these
