WANTS IT "J HANGED;- A rcmiCinan t in Scoggin's valley or Martin's val ley, (some call it by the first name and some by the lust) wants the name changed. lie savs: "You have sometimes mentioned our va! ley as Scoggin's and sometimes as Martin's valley. Now I propose to name it the Mill Cilen, a sav mill be ing in the northwest end of it." V"e have no objections to tho proposed change if the people will adopt it. In fact Mill Glen would be a much prettier name than either Scoggin or Martin's valley. TVe would sup pose that the innate modesty of both f the above named gentlemen after whom this delightful little valley h.v beeu named would lead them to seek some other cognomen thati their own. TVe hope they will agree bn some name comm.msuiate with the natural beauty of their mountain vale, leavi; it to a vote of tho inhabi tants, and on its adoption wo will gladly accept it. As it stand we will b compelled, in order to be un derstood, to give it a namo that is known. (Vi.tumTioN Pkmc.
