Gilmore’s Cavalry have returned.
The infantry are bathing in
Bluestone. The expedition was
completely successful, and was of
more importance than I supposed
it would be.
They reached the salt well about
2:30 A. M.; found the works in full
blast -- a good engine pumping, two
pans thirty feet long boiling, etc.,
etc. The salt is good; considerable
salt was on hand. All the works
were destroyed by fire. A canoe
found at Crump’s was taken to the
ferry.”

ARBOR DAY 2016
ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION
The Hinton Woman’s Club had
a tree planting celebration on April

included Dwight Emrich, Steve
Pack, Donna Pivont, Pat Jordan &
Betty Basham.
Arbor Day is a holiday that comes
every year in which individuals and! .

Arbor Day Celebration was started .
in Nebraska City, Nebraska on
April 10, 1872 in which there were
close to one million trees planted.
Andrew Sheets from the Division
of Forestry came and spoke to the
group about celebration. There are
15 tree towns in West Virginia.
Hinton has been a member for 15
years and is top ten in the prettiest
towns for our tree planting and
beautification efforts that are being
made every day.
Our tree this year was donated
to us from Toyota. Whenever you
pass by the tree, located at 506
Temple Street, there is a card
hanging from the tree that tells you
about the tree.
The Tree Board, along with Joe
Blankenship and students from the

the tree to help plant the tree. We
would like to thank everyone who
participated in the tree planting
ceremony.
