LOYAL CITIZEN PROTESTS.

Mr. Editor
Will you allow me a little space in
which to express myself as to the
changing the name of our town.
presume a mere citizen, a descendant
of people who made their county and
town, a citizen who loves the place
and helps it, may be allowed an
opinion.
| would like to know what all this
talk about changing the name of
Charles Town means. Who delegat-
ed a few men to sit in solemn con-
clave and decide on such a serious
thing? What d othey get out of it?
We old citizens, who have lived here
all our lives, and who are paying
taxes here and buying our goods here
and who care for the town and do
for it, think it is for us to decide on
a change of name, if any one does.
1t is all poppycock about the
trouble with the mails and express.
Once in a while a letter or package
goes astray but not because of the
name. 1t is carelessness-quan
ties of mail intended for Washington
goes to New York and vice versa.
Philadelphia, Pa, has trouble with
shipments going to Chicago and
Pittsburg, and we see no similarity
in tn enames. In fifty years of my
life receiving mail and express, /
have never once had letter or pack
age to go to Charleston-and l have
had letters go to Marysville, New
York, letters which had been mailed
in Washington and all addressed
properly. l know for fact that
many people do not give their ad-
dress properly. | have looked the
matter up. Some of our business
men scorn giving jefferson county
as part of the address and some
even write a small st" and leave off
the county. Give the County, use a
capital "T'' for Town, and you are
all right.
The Capital set" was pretty gen
orally used up to the time of the Civ
il war. / have many old letters dat
ing from 1886 to 1860, and in most
of them the Capital 7. is used. |
believe it was about 1845 that some
person began using the small GIN
my family we have always used the
Capital ''T" for Town.
/ do not believe it to be true, but
if some people do have trouble in the
confounding of names, let them be
careful about giving their addresses.
When a clerk makes a mistake, write
to Northumberland fuss, and
it is not apt to occur again.
/ have no sympathy with the silly
party who bought her ticket to Char
lesion instead of Charles Town. Nor
with the vaudeville troupe who did
the same. Those people might just
as well have gone to Charlestown,
Massachusetts or Charlestown, Va,
or any of the Charlestowns.
l travel great deal and | never
had any trouble about my ticket.
Now it is up to the real citizens,
those who make their town, to see to
it that we retain the name. Politics
should be out of it. Home money is
good as any. In the long run it is
the home people who count.
All hail to Charles Town!
Do not allow it to slip away as did
the square" we should have.
Ye descendants, We grand nep-
news and nieces of Charles Washing
ton, where are you? Come forth,
loyal to that grand old man. Re
member it was named Charles Town
for him, not Georgetown!

Soap should be used very carefully. if

The best thing for steady use is Null
