Committee on Organization
Now we see before us an era of i'm
proyements an industrial expansion;
we hear the echoes of factory whis-
ties and hammers; we see the whole
horizon lit up with the glare of fur
mace fires; We see our district a net
work OF railroads and our river front
washed necessarily by the froth of
busy steamers paddles. We tread on
clean and well paved streets: our de-
pots, theatres, public buildings and
business blocks are models of pro-
gression and get-there-ativeness our
transportation companies vie with each
other for supremacy in affording us in
creased facilities; We see other towns.
as Ianguid as We used to be, putting
on spurs to follow in the wake of our
footsteps Yes, we already feel, see,
and hear the transformation. Let us
make Wheeling city of one hundred
thousand souls by the time the next
census is taken. You can help to do it
by coming to the meeting next Friday
evening
