since, whilst at darPers-Fery, we observed a
group Of rafl<snen Standing along the bank Of the
Shenandoah, in apparently earnest conversation
Approaching them, We discovered that the en-.

Taylor, and that one Of them was naraiing in
has own strong and vigorous style the particulars
ofthe battle Of Buena Vista, and The indomitable

under daie OF the 9Th insi. The writer says -
was no little surprised yesterday on passing
Whne Oak Polo, which has been erected about
miles below Luray, and 10 which is attached a
magnificent Flag, with The names OF TAYLOR and
ni,nore inscribed upon il. In thai neighbour

was told that about 50 persons 1assesabled the
evening me pole was raised and that the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed !" In 1910 Harrison had
10, and IN 1914 Clay had only So votes in the
whole county Of Page; and we believe in 1886
The Wing Presidential ticket received only Is
votes! Old Zach viii double up another

We are no, aware Of any changes on either
