Belpre Is Improving

The Marietta Register, September 21, 1865

A friend informs us that James Howe is erecting a two-story house; that J. Robinson is building a frame dwelling in good style; that E. E. Cunningham has put up a shoe store, that two houses have just been completed for rent - to whom belonging, we do not recollect; beside several buildings have just received additions. 

Then again, the erection of a saw and grist mill has been commenced by the Belpre Mill Co. And more still, a neat two-story building for an academy has recently been erected. Belpre is on the "wing of progress."

We would thank the people of that quarter not to be quite so modest hereafter. Let outsiders know what you are doing. "Blow your horns," through the Register.
