The garbled report Of the Intelligen-
Ger in regard to the Democratic cen
trail committee is a laughable farce,
and we are sorry to say comes from a
sorehead Democrat, who is so slow in
politics that it requires two days to

|. H. Day, the popular and well
known citizen living west of this city,

out for the outcome.

children in the city's public schools
are making quite complaint as to the
standard of this city's schools. 1t Il
well known that Martins Ferry and
Bridgeport have been given the priv
ilege of joining the freshman course
in many of the important colleges OF
this State and other States after gradu-
alton, but Bellaire is always at the
rear. The other towns have four
