An effort is being made by some of the
people living in Charles Town to have
the State legislature authorize the change
of the name Charles Town to Charles
City. There may be little confusion
sometimes in the mail being sent to
Charleston, but we think the good people
of the old town ought to bear with that
for the sake of preserving the historic
name of Charles Town. If the name
should be changed the place would lose
its identity as the place where John
Brown was hung. and much other valua-
BILE and historic lore would be practically
lost. Long live Charles Town Mar
