History of Wayne's County Seat for Sixty
Three Years.

as county has been spent in an ef-
fort to make and maintain a county
seat where its citizens and strangers
could go and attend to their bust
ness with some assurances for the
comforts and conveniences of life
which all have the right to expect
10 find at the county seat of any
county, if such county has been es-
tablished long enough to warrant
such conveniences being found any
where within its boundaries. Coun-
ties are. but families of a larger
growth. The pioneer county like
the pioneer himself, expects to pro-
vide, at first, only the necessities of
life, but looks forward cheerfully to
the time when he can hope to enjoy
the conveniences of life, with the
prospect that his children may have
in addition some of the luxuries of
life.
Sixty, fifty, forty, yes, thirty
years ago Wayne's county seat was
as well equipped to entertain Its Wis
itors, as the average county in our
state. 1t was, like most county
seats OF the state, reached first by
horse back, and later, up to twelve
years ago, by vehicles. People went
there for period Of few days or
the entire term of court; confident
of a pleasant, warm room and bed,
and warmer welcome. The old
citizen looked forward to court week
as holiday, made pleasant by meet
ing of old acquaintances; the cheer
full light of the old log fireplace
witnessed many an exchange of
neighborhood news since the last
gathering of a few months before.
Those were indeed pleasant days,
and trip to old "Trout's Hill'' dur
ing court week was looked forward
to with pleasant antcipations of
meeting your friends, and hearing
all the news.
The old court house was surround
ed on all sides by the comfortable
homes of its citizens, a goodly mum
Der of large and small msrchants
carried stocks of goods that met all
the requirements of those days, and
during court week everybody's best
room and seat at his table were
freely rendered to guest or friend
The early wooden court house has
been in due time succeeded by the
first brick court house, an honestly
built structure, of design and size
found in all the adjoining counties
of this section, and costing probab
ly eight or ten thousand dollars.
The taxpayers Of our county keep
ing step with other counties in this
regard, and the sturdy old fashioned
officers seeing 10 it rigidly that ev-
cry dollars worth Of county money
paid out had good dollars worth
of result to show for 1T.
The "graftsr" was not tolerated,
even if he existed; you could not
hear 1t discussed around town, when
some public letting Of work was to
be awarded, how disappointed so
and so were because they failed to
land the job in certain hands, as
there we're five hundred dollars for
them in it If they could have held
their men their men?
But since those good old days how
things have changed. Wayne coun-
ty has passed from the horse back
and buggy days to the railroad
days.
Do you Of the older generation
realize 'ths' during the few years
since 1892, that Wayne, couny ha.
literally jumped in railroad mileage
alone, from the ten miles Of Aold G.
81 o. single track across the lowei
Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1906-01-10

TO the proud position of first in
the list of West Virginia countiss
having the greatest railroad mileage.
Just stop and think of the present
situation. Our county, about 60
miles long and averaging about tif.
teen miles wide, has two trunk lines
through it's entire length, and on its
west side closely hugging the line, is
the Chattaroi, now the G. e o., Biz
Sandy division; and on its eastern
border, within easy reach of large
part of our county in Grant and
Stonewall districts, the new G.. &
o. Guyandotte railroad to Logan
and then remember that all these
possible routes of travel from the
extreme upper end of our county,
! connect with the Camden Interstate
street railway line, with cars every
thirty minutes; and that four of the
live routes of travel named, touch
the Ohio River within sight of the
proposed cour: house location at
Ceredo, situated directly on the
street car line. The fifth route, the
Guyandotte, connects with the street
car line at Huntington, eight miles
from Ceredo; street car fare 10
cents. Again, just stop and think,
you OF the upper end. Five sepa-
rate and np-to-date, modern routes
from which to choose; either of
which will take you from the ex.
treme upper end of the county, rain
or shine, in about three hours time;
warm stove in winter all the way,
cool breeze in. summer; from
"way-up-there" to the front door of
your court house.
YOU'VE BEEN THERE, TOO.
Compare this, you who do your
own thinking, and can draw your
own conclusions, with the situation
as 1t IS at present, with your county
seat at Wayne. 1t is possible to
those who live on the line of rail.

To clean mating it should be first
swept thoroughly with a stiff broom,
following the grail Q: inc straw. then
swept across the grain with a soft
broom that has been dipped In warm
water. says the New York Telegram
Then wash thoroughly In warm water
In which handful OF salt has been
dissolved Nothing brightens colored
mating so much as the salt, and,
moreover, it goes far to prevent 1t fad
ing. The light cOlored mating should
be washed In water In which bOray
has been dissolved. II any grease
spots are noticed before the mating
is cleansed cover them with mixture
Of prepared chalk wet with turpentine,
which after being allowed to remain
on for two days should be removed
with a stiff brush. In the event of the
grease having sunken in about one
eighth OF washing soda added to the
msEture will be effectual. Sweet milk
is said to keep the mating In q good
state OF preservation, and IL Is only
necessary TO use the application about
once a year.
