IS fair a location for one section

as fair a location for one section
as another.
During the past ten or twelve
years all of this has been changed
By the census of 1890 we had a
total population in this county OF
1862 people. In ten years we
increased to 1882, but the inter,
ior districts did not increase very
much. In 1890 Centreville had a
population of 1445; in 1900, 1920;
increase, 275. Ellsworth, in 1890
had a population of 3442, and in
1900 a population of 1898; in
crease 151. In 1890 Lincoln dis
trict had a population of 1886; in
1900, it's population was 1929; in
crease, 4033. McElroy increased
from 1868 in 1890 to 1907 in 1900
Meade increased from 1888 IN
1890 to 1877 in 1900. Union IN
creased from 1883 in 1900 to 1926
in 1900. These are the facts and
figures. Now the population has
changed and the two river dis
tricts contain nearly One-half OF
the entire population Of the coun-
ty. The people living in Meade
district can come to SisterSvllle
quicker, on a shorter route and
with more comfort than they can
attend court at Middlebourne. In
McElroy district, by coming in by
way of the Short Line railroad,
at least one-half of the people can
reach Sistersville quicker, cheaper
and more comfortable than they
can 90 to Middlebourne. Adding
then, the population of Lincoln,
Union, Meade and half of Neil
roy, we have a total in round num-
bers of $4,000, or two-thirds of
the entire population of the coun-
ty. The people of Middlebourne
and Ellsworth district On the wes-
tern side will be as near the coun-
ty seat with it's population Of 1900

THE COURTHOUSE SITE.

The proposition to move the
county seat to SisterSvllle Is
strictly business proposition
there is no politics, religion, spite
malice, prejudice or personal feel
ing of any kind in the matter. So
far as we are concerned, we pro
pose to stick to this through the
contest. We have our opinions Oh
the matter, and we are perfectly
willing to allow every one else to
have the same right. We must
have a new courthouse before very
long. and we want it built in Sis
tersville. The people OF Middle
bourne want it at that place and
we do not blame them for hav-
inc such a wish. They will unite,
spend time and money to defeat
us, and that is proper and right.
If any Of our friends at this town
or anywhere else in the county
want to tell our readers why they
oppose removing the county seat
we will be only too glad to pub
fish their views in the Oil Review.
We are gong to do our level best
to move the courthouse, but we
propose tc conduct the canvass in
a decent way and treat all sides
fairly and as impartially as we
can.
Middlebourne was selected as
the county seat of this county
when the population was not very
great and well scattered over the
county. But few people lived
along the river in the early times
on account of the river, and fogs
gave people the ague and fever.
In those days Middlebourne was
not only near the center of the
county from geographical stand
point. but It was the center of the
population of the county, and was
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1905-04-03

as Lincoln district people are now
to the county seat with its popu-
lation of 5000, not including I'm
ion district. So, from the popu-
lation point Of view Middlebourne
is not now the center Of the pop
ulation. At best, it does not oc-
cupy a position to accommodate
more than a third of the people OF
the county. These are simply cold
facts, that cannot be successfully
refuted.
We all know the farmers can
now and have for years been able
to sell every dollars worth of pro-
duce Of all kinds in Sistersville
for the highest cash prices. 1t is
to the interest of every laboring
man, farmer, mechanic and every
citizen. no difference what his
calling or occupation may be, to
build up Sistersville into a large
and growing city, because a city
in county means a good market
for every man, woman and child
in the county. We cannot hope
to make Middlebourne a large
city. or even a small one, but we
can make Sistersville a big city.
It is, therefore, to the interests
of every one to keep SiStersvllle
booming and growing. The court
house here would be a great i'm
provement to our city and would
directly and indirectly materially
aid every man, woman and child
IN the county because of the mar
ket it will make here for every
thing that can be grown or raised
in the county.
The courthouse can be built
here at least 40 per cent cheaper
than it can be erected in Middle
bourne. We have several free
sites to offer: II acres on the Bar
ney Wells farm. the magnificent
location of H. W. Mccoy on the
river bank (second rise) of the
old J. B. Mccoy homestead; the
Slemaker corner, including the
two lots above it, and other loca-
tions, any of which are good and
desirable. We will rebuild the Jail
here free of cost to the county.
The county seat should be here
from every point Of view, and it
will be here. The merchants will
hold meeting to appoint commit
tees and a mass meeting will be
held in a few days in the Audi
torium. United we win. Let's all
unite.

The Ideal Wife.

A Chicago clergyman preached q
practical sermon on the ideal wife
The necessary attributes he dwelt on
especially were truth, gentleness and
pleasing appearance. :.
To attain the realms of the ideal a
wife must be absolutely truthful to
her husband; she should never criti
else her husband, nor be a scold; she
must look her best at all times, and
it is sin for her to be careless about
her personal attire in the presence OF
her husband.
These are the quite sensible points
made during the course of the sermon
but there was one essential virtue
omitted. The reticence that will pre-.
vent woman from ever confiding to
people outside her home what trou.
bles she may meet with there.
But when are the clergymen going
to tell the world what the ideal hus-
band should be?

Horace's characteristic reply. Even
in his youth he wanted to get some
think done promptly and well. What
wonder is it that when he became a
man, and an editor of one of the most
powerful journals in America, he still
wanted to do something with his pa
per, to have it strike heavy blows in
behalf of human freedom, happiness
and progress? And any man who
cherishes high ideals of usefulness
and governs his life by them will
never be accused of going through
motions. He will be able, on the 9TH
er hand, to point to something done
when the summons comes to go up
higher.
