THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 16, 1892. A HUNDRED YEARS OLD Hononffahela city Bedecks Herself in Bunting in Honor of HER CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY. Historical Addresses Are Hade by Brainy Men of the Town. INTERESTING RELICS ARE EXHIBITED Monongahela City was crowded with vis itors yesterday. The occasion was the hun dredth anniversary of the founding of the town. Just one hundred years aeo Joseph Parkinson held an auction sale of a plan of lots which he had laid out The sale was not rery successful, but it gave "Williams port, as Monongahela City was then called, a boom. The town was founded, and ever since has been making rapid strides for ward. Monongahela City Has been called by three different names during the various stages of its progress. First it was Parkin son's Landing; then, when the town was lnid out, Joseph Parkinson changed its name to Williamsport, in honor of his son; and later it was given the name it now bears. Monongahela Citv wore its brightest garb yesterday. The decorations, which had been made tor the Democratic demonstration of the night before, were made more elaborate during the day so that everv house in the town displayed the red, white and blue. The celebration of the one hundredth birth day of the town was a spontaneous affair. Xo one seemed to be making any extraordi nary efforts in working the matter up, yot when the time came the result was as satis factory as could be. The Committee of Arrangements. The committee who had the ceremonies in charge was composed of A. E. Parkin son, J. IS. Findlay, T. H. Baird, Colonel A. JL Parkinson, Descendant of the Founder of Jlonongahela City. Chill Hazzard, T, V. Laurence, Dr. J. 6. Sloan, G. A. Lynn, Dr. H. J. Gamble, Colonel W. J. Alexander and Dr. J. 8. Vanvoorhis. The arrangements for the en tertainment of the great number of invited guests were perfect In fact the town folks of Monongahela City are so hospital that the door ol every home was thrown open to receive the guests. "What was lacking in the outward show ot jollity was more than made np by the happy scenes in the households. Friends met yesterday who had not seen each other lor 30 and 40 years. All the old residenters who once resided in the town were out in lull force The great number of those cood old faces, which are seen so seldom now except in old pictures, was par ticularly noticeable. Monongahela City being within that wonderful fertile field for brains and brawn, "Washington county contributes very largely to the number of noted men that have emanated from it The citizens are proud of the great minds that have been nurtured in their midst and talk by the hour ot their great men's achievements.

"AuldLang: Syne" Choral Club The meeting was called to order in the Orer House by the Chairman, Colonel Chill Hazzard. He introduced Dr. C B. Woods, who, in well-chosen words, wel comed the visitors to the city. He said it was an opportunity that should not be lost, for the people who at one time lived in the citv to come and renew the ties of their youth and look upon the scenes of their childhood. A General and Genial "Welcome. After speaking abont tne ancestors of the people of Monongahela City, he said to the audience: "ifow, if you are hungry, let us know, and we will give you as much as you can eat; if you need money, let us know.and we will give yon all you want of course at the regular rate of interest and upon good security. "We welcome you one and all." Dr. Van Voorhis was then introduced and occupied the remainder of the forenoon, giving the history of Monongahela City lrom the time that Abraham Decker laid claim to the land in 17C9 down to the pres ent day. In speaking of Parkinson, the founder of the town, Dr. Van Voorhis said: "In earlv lile ParkUon was a tall.bony.muscular man, dressed rather fashionable in the costnme of the day, with knee buccle and shoe buckles, such as these. In his older days he wore side whiskers and the well-known qneue of the times. Some of the older cit izens can recall him changed to an old, bent in form man, sitting on the porch, trembling with nearly a century of years and waiting the summons to pass through the gate to the beyond. Instead of neglect marking hsgrave,the citizens should long since have erected over it a monnment in commemora tion of his deeds of daring in establishing the town in a wilderness, now a garden of ever blooming flowers." The Centennial Parade. After the singing of an anthem by the Choral Society the morning session came to an end. Between the morning and after noon session a parade was held. It con sisted of a large number of men mounted on horses dressed as Indians, trappers and in other grotesque costumes.

I Owe all to Hood's Cured of Sick Vomiting Spells, Dizziness, Neu ralgia, Weakness "In reading the daily papers I have often seen statements from people who havo been benefited by Hooa's Sasapailla. and I feol that lam not doing; justice unless my testi mony is added to others. I have been suf fering with sick vomiting spell's for three or four years, with giddiness, and was most of the time almost perfectly prostrated. I had no appetite, and vufferca also with neuralgia In my head and eyes. I was treated for two years by tbo best physician in town and by other doctors, but Found No Relief. They would tell me my condition was owing to my age and that I must have patience. But after two years patience ceased to be a virtue. I was growing so weak I oonld not sleep at night. And when I was able to go out I was afraid to go far from home. I was constantly tired; I oould not go up or down stairs or raise my arms ahovo my head with out giddiness, and was so afraid to 'look up that I became accustomed to holding my bead down. At Last I was persuaded to take Hood's Sarsaparllla, and after using four bottles, my Improve ment In health Is wonderful. I candidly be lieve I am cored of all my aHments. My ap petite Is good, can eat any time, am free from neuralgia and other troubles. I Never Felt So Well or was as stout as now since I was married, and I am mother of nine children. I have Increased from 125 to 13 pounds. I am pen. fectly well, go out every day. When my friends ask what has made snenan improve ment I tell them I owe it all to Hood's Sarsaparilla and that I am made over again. Friends whom I have persuaded to take Hood's Sarsa parllla are also deriving benefit from it " Mrs. S. M. Wateri, 1213 Sid Street, N. W Georgetown, D. C. TirjsHoorg.
