FAIRMONT, w. VA.
April "a, 1919.
Atty Henry S. Lively, Esq,
President Fairmont Rotary Club
Dear Sir:-The great war is over,
and there are returning to our great
country our boys who will soon go
back to work and follow the former
pursuits. 1t seems TO me there should
be some steps taken to have placed
on the lawn in front of our county
court house one of the great German
cannon that our boys captured on the
battle fields of France, aad thereupon
engraved the name of every boy from
Marion county who entered the ser
vice Of our county to save humanity.
therefore address this letter to you
as President Of the Rotary club to
have committee appointed to confer
with our Congressman, Hon. NJ. NJ
Neely, to secure such gun from the
War department and placed on the
above location.
II It seems best to your honorable
club that such memento should be
( secured would advise that steps be
taken at once, as these mementoes
are being taken by cities very fast, and
unless this is done at once Fairmont
will come in last, il at all.
Very truly,
L. N. YoST.

THE Call oE rHE cHuRclI.


Jesus said of the church-,'Ye
are the light of the world The
Church of God has been the great
preserving force of the years. With
out the Church, society would be-
come rotten TO the core. The
Church makes 1t easier. for man
to do right and harder for him to
do wrong. 1t makes It easier for a
man TO carry on his business. II
helps governments. II Cdvocates
he noblest of principles. Women
and little children walk the streets
OF our city In security because OF
the presence OF the Church. Re
move the Church. from our cities
and the business man would find 1t
, very difficult to carry on his busl.
ness.
This fact constitutes call to all
men to let their influence speak
for the Church. This call comes
to men in all the walks or life.
This is more than a call-it IS a
challenge. It is a challenge to the
best in men. It is a challenge 70
make the teachings OF Christ dom
inant In all life-a challenge to
adopt the kingdom program OF the
lowly Nazarene for the working
out Of all the problems Of society.

Citizens Will Vote to En-
large Present City

Rivesville Is to take her proper
place among the cities of the comfy
If a movement inaugorated by Mayor
j. v. Williams, Of that place.Ris ap-
proved by the citizens Of the down
river neighbor. 1t is proposed to
authorize by means of anSelection to
be held about May 10, that incorpora.
ton into the city limits of a coli
siderable portion of what is known
as Rivesville, but which has grown
up outside the old city limits.
There has been a sentiment for
this move for some time at Rives-
vile. particularly since the location
there OF the new power plant of the
Monongahela Valley Traction Com
pany. Rtvesville really has a popu-
lation Of two thousand or more, but
in the city limits, where credit Is
given for population there are but a
few hundred.
The Greater Rivesville movement
Is part OF the general awakening talk
ing place, evidenced few days ago
IN the announcement that a modern
four story bank building is to be
built at once. Plans for this bank
are practically complete and 1t is
likely that II will be finished before
fall.
With the Incorporation into the
city limits Of the proposed settle
ments and additions, it will be pos
sfble for the citizens of that place to
provide for many improvements now
lacking. New paving, a water and
sewerage system and means OF fire
protection are now badly needed and
will be made possible under a
greater RivesviIle.
The following lines have been .es-
tablished as the boundry of the pro.
