Lack of Appreciation.

Editors West Virginian:
Doesn't it seem a little strange that
the people showed SO little apprecla-
ton over the governments action in
ordering the railroad company to raise
the F., NJ. and P. bridge? 1t wasn't
even discussed on the street to any
great extent. 1t seems to me we ought
to have had public celebration and
to have sent Captain Sibert a resolu-
ton of thanks for the interest he took
in the matter He certainly did do
nobly. Many of our citizens did grand
", while some who are asking Tor
public favors tried to do the town and
county an injury by working against
the people. If it isn't too late let us
have meeting of the representative
citizens and send Captain Sibert
vote of appreciation for what he has
done for us. If we keep still the rail
road company will say 10 the govern
ment officials that the people are in
no hurry and will ask for an extension
OF time in removing the bridge, and II
may be years yet before we have an
open river.
Wake up. fellow citizens. let us hear
from you.

would like to say gentlemen, but
can hardly do SO under the circum-

place, like the baseball grounds or at a

midst of women and fill the air with
tobacco fumes, which is almost intol-

sick. / heard several women and some
of the very best ladies of the town

have that privilege and few others OF

pay or walk. In other cities they are

this particular. Some. time ago one OF
our firemen was visiting in a city not
