Arbor day has been made set
tied fact In nearly every state. By
legislation, certain day or days
are designated to BE- obsei we'd by
the different public schools and
high schools in the planting Of
trees, Identifying of school grounds
and appropriate exercises. 1t Is
natures day, and as nature study
In the school work, SO does the OBJ
servance of this dav take deeper
root, and become more and m ore a
source of benefit to the schools and
training to the scholars. As reg
ularly as the Thanksgiving pro
clamation issue from the Office OF
the chief executive of the
Commonwealth, so regularly com IS
similar mandate from the Superin
teudent OF free schools, and Ia
most communities the latter Is as
cheerfully received and as generally
respected as the former.
In reading over the proclamation
of the State Superintendent of our
State, the thought came to the Re.
view that Arbor Day could be cele-
brated In Sistersville this spring In
a manner pleasing and profitable to
the schools and Interesting and
beneficial TO the citizens as yell
1t could have for Its purpose the
beautifying of the grounds sur
rounding the city building. We
have now one of the ccziest and
ueatest and handsomest city build,
ings In the State. 1t presents a
good appearance from all sides. 1t
Is systematicai and imposing In de
sign and only needs the added dec
o,a,iou of the grounds surrounding
it to make 1t a veritable oasis In
the midst of the stone and brick
pavements which surround 1t.
A single glance at that building
would impress any one that row
of shade trees around it, along the
curbiug of the streets. would add
very greatly to Its appearance, In
fact make 1t look so cozy and com,
Portable that Its very appearance
would be a delight to our citjz ems
and source of wondering surprise
10 our visitors.
Pondering over this thought,
the Review conceived the idea that
Arbor day would be just tine time
to commence this good work. The
schools could unite with the city
government and with the people to
prepare for an occasion that would
make Arbor day this year gala day

Tke surveying corps of The Sis
tersville, Mlddlebourne and New
Martinsville electric railroad spent
the night in the city. They made
the final survey over miles Of the
route yesterday, which was greater
distance than any member of the
corps had ever heard of the survey
of any road being completed In one
day. Aud they quit work about
$50, with good half hour left In
which another mile might have
been gone over. They followed the
pike to the Pursley bridge, where
they stopped last night. This
morning they were taken there by
one of John Stealey's teams aud
drivers, aud expect before night to
be In sight at least of the county
seat. Their intention Is to reach
the Court House by tomorrow
night. They Will then retrace
their steps, taking the property

Although the present survey
takes the main line up Charles
street from Wells. it Is the opinion
of the engineers that the Diamond
street route will be chosen On &C
count Of the railroad bridge on
Charles. This bridge Is four feet
too low for cars to be run under it,
and 1t will be very expensive to
either raise the bridge r lower the
street. For this reason, 1t Is thou ught
that the main line will cross the
railroad at a grade crossing on Dia-
nond street

At midnight last night work was
actually commenced on the new
proposed Electric Street Railway
from Marietta to Sistersville. The
franchise granted to this company
by the city council of St. Mays re-
quired that actual work should be
commenced within ninety days.
The officers of the company made
a mistake and though. that they
had until Thursday to commence
bat when they learned they only
had until Tuesday they rushed In a
number of men and started them to
work at midnight, thus saving
their franchise. Nearly all of the
right of way has been secured
along the route. Arrangements
have been informally made
for the local home company
to furnish power temporarily

Work was com renced about
midnight Tuesday night on the
Parkersburg & Ohio Valley electric

city required that actual work
should be commenced within nine
ty days. The officers of the com
pany made an error In the date,
thinking they had until Thursday
to begin, Lut discovered that the
time limit expired at twelve o'clock

up a force of men from Parkersburg
last night and started them on the

jackson, July 8.-That the Off
GERS of the Mississippi national guar(
are determined to enforce the statute
requiring attendance at weekly drills
is evidenced by the action of Maj.
Dement,, commanding the first bat
tallion, second Regiment, II making
an affidavit and causing the arrest OF
Sergeant J. G.. Jackson, Of the Wal
thall Guards, a Meridian company,
for non attendance at drills on the
23rd of July. Sergeant Jackson was
taken before q locai justice of the
peace, entered a plea of guilty, and
was fined s. and costs. The fine was
afterwards RENTED upon payment OF
costs.
The officers Of the national guard
are awakening to a realization OF the
fact that if the orgaization is to be
brought up to the standard required
by the Dick military law that strict
er discipline must be enforced, and a
few object lessons to the enlisted men
will undoubtedly have a salutary
effect.

Throughout Mississippi the town

he will give a prize of one year S
