Days long since past and gone.
Yet we in joyous song
Their memories prolong-

Those days SO full Of Joy
To every girl and boy.
Their hours we love.
OF them we'll shout and sing
Till hills and valleys ring
Our chorus csrolling

With thrilling hearts we come
And view thy walls.

Song (Tu6ae Auld Lang Syne)
Dear friends and scheolmates once again
We meet within these walls,
And many scenes Of former days
Our memory recalls,
of days when we were young and gay.
With ne'er thought Of care,
When flowers seemed to strew our paths.
And music fill the air.
Our classmates dear. some now are here.
And some are far awayi
And some have passed to that beyond
Where all is brightest day.
We would not call them back again
To suffer earthly pain
Bot patiently. we wait the time:
When all shall meet again.
How youthful are our hearts today
AS one and all we greeh
Our daily cares are laid away.
For recreation sweet.
Then let US join with one accord.
And drink health today
To Marietta High School dear
That il may live Away.

services In the formation Of the new
state. We believe that the only public
office he ever tllled or the only public
services he ever performed was in this
connection as governor of the restored
government Of Virginia. If he ever
occupied any public position In West
Virginia We never knew Of 1t. AS gov
ernor Of the restored government OF
Virginia he did valuable service to the
projectors Of the new state. But there
were other men-many Of them-who
did more. A. W. Campbell, for In
stance; Chester D. Hubbard, Daniel
Lamb and other distinguished citizens
Of Wheeling. But II q place Is to be
filled In the national gallery solely for
the services rendered In the formation
OF the new state. Senator Waitnan T.
Wiley was the pioneer, the pilot and
the high priest par excellence in that
movement. He 1t was that turned the
mob convention Of Wheeling from a
revolutionary scheme to q constitutions
al course that secured the recognition
Of the federal government. He 1t was
that piloted 1t through Congress when
Carlisle turned traitor. And he It was
that saved It from defeat at the polls by
n speech that convinced the masses,
and turned the tide in the niche OF
time. ~ g t,fltga-s.
This matter ought not to be deter
mined from a narrow. partisan stand
point, or from personal faVoritism, but
from broad and patriotic motives in the
interest Of the. state and the interest Of
truth. X.

material prosperity secure.
The secretary selected by the board,
Mr.. Thompson, in outlining the POSI-
b!lities that lie before the city. made a
most favorable impression. and left no
doubt but the committee Of the board
had made no mistake In their selection.
If one-tenth of the expectations he
aroused are fulfilled his advent in
Wheeling will be a thousand-fold bless
ing.
Wheeling always was great on en-
thuslasm, but heretofore It has cooled
too quickly. and what remains to be
done in this instance is to allow no
cooling process to supervene between
now and the accomplishment OF all the
board of trade has blocked out to do.
Every man must keep up to The pace
Mr.. Thompson will set. II we sit down

why the South is Thankful.

No section of the country has more to
be thankful for in the way Of material
blessings than the south. Under the
protective tariff system its industries
have multiplied and nourished enabling
other interests to revive and prosper.
Why the south is thankful Is ably an
swered in the following Specifications
or the Manufacturers Record:
I'm mill building, In opening mines.
In railroad extension, in numbering In
activity OF domestic trade and in en-
largement OF foreign commerce the
south has made 4 gratifying record DUR
Ing the past twelve months. For that
1t is thankful. This feeling is intensi-
fled as. with the promise Of stability in
national affairs. the south calmly and
reasonably faces the future. for 1t has
the prospect OF 4 years income OF ut
least $3.50 900. COO. This Is to be derived
as follows:
From the cotton plant, including the
manufacturers of the staple and the
products Of the seed. s75O.OOo.Ooo.
From corn. wheat, sugar, rice, tobac-
co and other agricultural products,
$500. OOO, 900.
From mines. including about 50, o00, 900
tons Of coal. and from manufactures Of
iron and other raw material. not in
GLIDING cotton. s1.500,o0O,Oo0. Il
Here Is broad prospect, which may
be filled in with many interesting de-
tails. In itself it Is sufficient to lndl-
cate that the SOUTH rs an important
part Of 4 great country now entering
upon I larger financial, Industrial md
commercial career, has n vital interest
In the country's prosperity and is pre-
pared to enjoy Its share of the good
things Of America"
This Is patriotic and business view
OF the situation. but the Record has
omitted one very important item, and
that Is the south should be thankful be-
cause It has been made 10 enjoy the
fruits Of u splendid prosperity In spite
OF Itself. Had q portion OF the north
or the west voted as solidly as the
south all these bright prospects would
have been swept away. AS bright as
the south is to-day, It will be more glo-
rlously bright when It shall have at
least divided Its electoral vote. Speed

PROPOSED STATUE

SIR:--An editorial In last Saturdays
Intelligencer announces that an appro-
prIation will be asked Of the next legis-
laturc to place the statue of cx-Gov-
ernor Plcrpont in the national capitol.
You give this proposition semi-cn-
dorsement on the grounds that when
the Democrats were In power the state
treasury was drawn upon to furnish u
statue OF the late Senator Kcnna for
the same purpose. That might be JUS
tinable reason II there. were no other
considerations.
But / call your attention to the fact
that under the regulations Of Congress

one state to two statues. and these are
to be statues OF the most distinguished
citizens OF that state,
Now. 1 want TO say without any de-
sire or purpose to dctract from the good
name or fame OF the late Senator Ken

which that space was set apart to this

The Presidential Contest.

The situation for the great political fight in this country next November stands about this way;
 Either Bryan or Mckinley will be elected. Four years ago a change of 10000 votes would have defeated Mckinley and would have elected Bryan. Here is where those votes were needed:
