The principal performing for the
pill-rollers was done by Drs Gibbons,
Holt. Warren aud Edmondson. Holt

They formed the second division
of the parade, and their appearance
was the signal for hearty cheers
The rrnks have thinned some SINCE
last year. Few of the old soldiers
are left But the rublic still loves
to honor them. As they marched
along to-day, to the stirring music
of fife and drum, cheer after cheer
rent the air, flags and handkerchiefs
were waved, and they were given a
greeting which might well stir their
old hearts with pride.
The Confederate veterans were few
In numbers but inIpopularity with the
crowd they were scarcely second to the
veterans in blue. They were greeted
with cheers from the same Threats
and applause from the same hands
that paid tribute to their foes OF the
sixties. The applause was just a.
heartfelt, and showed that this cele-
bration is indeed reunion Of th {
blue and the gray.
The Cans Brass band followed the
Confederate veterans. Their music
was lively and appropriate, and The
appreciation of the crowd was shown
in generous applause.
The Glass Blowers Union was one
of the largest bodies in the parade
They made a fine appearance. The

BY the Honorable Jehn j. Brownie
Wanted the Citszsns 10 Erect the
Monument which had been the Sub
| ject of so Much Talk and Nothing
Else.
The following is an extract from
the address of John j, Brown made
on the Fourth of July. 1876 the
Centennial of Monongalia county
published in the Biographical and
Portrait Cyclopedia of Monongalia,
Marion and Taylor counties
"0n the 10th day of January,
1900, and soon after the death OF
General Washington, the county
court of Monongalia county, at the
court house in Morgantown. John
Dent, Dudley Evans, John Fairfax,
Edward Jones and Nathan Springer.
gentlemen justices on the bench
the following order was entered of
record :
Ion motion of Benjamin Reeder,
it is ordered that the inhabitants of
Monongalia county be permitted to
erect stone monument upon the
public ground in front of the court
house, in honor of the memory of
our late illustrious fellow citizen,
General George Washington, with
the following inscription In
honor to the memory of General
George Washington, who died De
cember IA, 1889. aged 68, whose vir-
tues are accorded by history, an
which need only be mentioned to
make them examples to all mankind.
This inscription is directed by
grateful people, Whereupon the
court ordered that Benjamin Reeder,
Jonathan Davis, Henry Dering and
Hugh McNeely be appointed to have
the above work carried int execu-
tien.
On the Fourth of July, 1867, af-
ter the bronzed veterans had return
ed from the late war, the people of
Monongaiia county assembled in Oak
Grove Cemetery, and on bold
beautiful knoll overlooking the
Monongahela river, with solemn
pomp and ceremony, laid the foun
dalton stone of the monument to be
erected to her brave sons who. had
fallen in the Civil War. Eloquent
speeches We're made, pompous reso-
lutions were passed with entire uni
minity, music arose with its volup-
tuoas swell, the roar Of cannon re-
verberated among the adjacent hills,
and the monument, like the one or
dered to be carried into execution
by the county court at the begin
ming Of the century, was never erect
ed.
Fellow citizens of Monongalia,
let US wipe out this disgrace.
Our late representative in Con-
gress, Hon. John NJ Hagans, pros
lcured to be donated by the United
States government to the Soldiers
Monument Association of Mononga-
liza county, number of cannon to
be used in construction OF the mon
ument. Ere the end of another cen
tennial day, as the traveller stands
upon the deck of magnificent
steamer blowing the bright waters
of the beautiful Monongahela pass
ing by the silent city Of the dead,
he will read inscribed upon the i'm
perishable bronze
In memory of Monongalia's
honored sons, who gave their lives
for the preservation and perpetuity
of their country"

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION.
Ordinance Providing Horses and men
will be introduced into Council.

A new ordinance providing horses
for the FIRE department and small
number Of regular, paid fremen will
be introduced into council at an early
date. The city has grown to such an
extent that these things are absolute
ly necessary.
1t is the opinion of some members
of the council that decreased rates Of
fire insurance following improved fire
fighting facilities will more than
compensate the expense of horses and
paid men. Whether this be the case or
not the city needs better protection
from fire and will get it.
