Enoch Borden, died three weeks ago. He
has resided in our midst several years, and
for the last three or four years has been
gradually giving away to disease. The in

The new School House was built and
the deed for the ground given gratuitously
with the understanding that the building
should be used as a Township School
House; that the two rooms were to be used
and all the better scholars of Perry inyited
to its open doors.
A few days ago the Board of Education
met and threw District No. 2-the Quaker
School-in with the town, thus furnishing
means sufficient to hire two teachers. The
more intelligent part of our citizens are
highly pleased with the change, and are
looking forward with pleasant anticipations,
hoping that the day is now when Mar
tinsburg shall look up in educational mat
ters. So mote it be.

Sunday school Picnic.

On Wednesday of last week, the Sabbath
School of Staunton, in company with the
Firemen of Washington, held a Picnic in
the grove adjoining Staunton, which was
one Of the most pleasant gatherings ever
held in the county An elegant and sump-
tuous dinner was prepared and served up by
the ladies Of that vicinity, to which ample
justice was done by the Firemen and all
present, after which Rev. L. f. Drake de-
livered an interesting and able address
which was listened to with attention by
most Of those present The exercises
were spiced by music from the Washing
ton Band and singing by the School. Every
one enjoyed the occasion, and at an early
hour in the afternoon all returned to their
homes, feeling that one more happy day
had been added to their years. If such oc-
casions were more frequent, life to all
would be more pleasant, and every one be
made happier and better. In a brief notice
like this, justice to the picnic and those
who managed it cannot be done, and all we
can say is that it was feast of reason and
flow of good things on the old fashioned
scriptural temperance plan. ***

reported for the Herald
Missionary Anniversary
OBSERVER,

The Missionary Anniversary of the M.
E. Sabbath School of this place, held last
Monday evening, was an occasion of rare
interest, and long to be held in memory.
The platform was tastefulIy arranged and
looked like fairy bower, so beautiful was
the array of flowers. In front of the al tar
stood bank of natures living green; and as
each class brought its money-offering: and
placed it in the silver basket, it left
floral gift also. And when the roll was com
pleted,. the bank of green was suddenly
change to most beautiful bank ofperfum-
ed flowers. Every eye spoke delight; every
face beamed pleasure. Then old and
young sang together as never before.
All hail! the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE tall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
A recitation came next by Miss Lizzie
Dahl Subject: Eureka" Well rendered
This was followed by the chief attraction
of the evening, the building of the Mis-
sionary Arch. The exercise cannot be de-
scribed to do it justice, but the impr ressiye
lesson conveyed to every mi.ld, time will
not soon take from the memory. Those who
failed to see it. ilost pleasure rarely pre-
sented. The following elements of a true
! Missionary's character, were presented in
appropriate addresses by the persons
named: Self Sacrifice, Ike WilIett Earnest

Billy Willett; Devotion Ella Ferguson
Hope, Laura Reid; Unwavering Faith

Primary Election.

: 'MEssRs ~EDIToRs:-Your editorial in last
weeks HERALD upon the action of our Central
Committee in relation to thefllegal and fraud
ulent votes cast at the Primary Election strikes
many Republicans as being well timed. To
quite number Of Republicans of our county,
it seems strange that upon an investigation by
the Central Committee (or a portion of it) it
should be found that at least sixty-six illegal
and fraudulent votes were cast at the Primary
election, and yet they should decide by vote
of eleven to four, (Yeornan and Hamilton
dodging) that SO far as they were concerned
they could do nothing but accept the result of
tie fraudulent election as a ''fnality." Is
that position maintainable? Could not the
power that called it into being refuse to accept
and acknowledge the result as a fnality when
the very object of its creation was, or ought to
have been, simply to obtain Republican senti
ment, not the sentiment of Democrats, as to
who should be our candidates? If the election
was carried by fraud, why can it not be set
aside, purged of its corruption, and admiris-
ter to those who were instrumental in thus
prostituting the Primary Election to their own
selfish purposes without regard to the damag
ing effect unGn the party such rebuke as all
such Office seekers should receive at the hands
Of the people? Is it possible that the Repub
licans of Fayette county must indorse such
corruption and elevate to office the men who
connived at, and threw into our Primary Elec-
ton Democratic influence and votes? Are the
Republicans of Fayette county powerless in
this matter? Our Central Committee say they
cannot relieve us. If we cannot correct such
abuses ofour Primary Election, what the
people expect in the way of corruption being
crushed out in higher places? Does any
high toned" gentleman % feel fattered as the
candidate of the Republican party, when he
reflects that his plurality of votes was OBJ
tained by fraud?
There are many Republicans in the county
who think, yes, know that the party has been
outraged by designing men, and our Primary
Election prostituted to promote their persona
ends. and every effort or attempt to cover up q
apologize for such flagrant outrage upon th'
Republican party only serves to increase thei
dissatisfaction with, and contempt for thos
who aided or accepted of the fruits of suci
a corrupt and dishonorable course. Honest,
is the best policy An old adge that ough
to be true of men running for office, well a
all others. REPUBLICAN.

Tricks upon TOpers.

RoFF, who keeps the newsstand in the
Post Office building, turns many an hon
est penny with a root-beer fountain. The
fountain has two escapes, and at each OF
these he keeps glass standing to catch
the drippings. He noticed, recently, that
a couple Of elderly men who lounged in
the Post-Office in the evening drained
these glasses as soon as they were partly
filled Great and mighty results fire.
quently grow out Of slight causes. When
Rolf detected them an idea struck him.
Before setting the glasses the next time,
he dropped teaspoonful OF catarrn snuff
in each one. 1t was a new kind of snuff,
and Rolf was glad Of the opportunity to
test it. He wasn't confident these men
had the catarrh, but that was really no
business Of his dit wasn't anything he
could help and. besides, science must be
attended to, so he entered upon the ex-
pertinent with all the hopefulness and
expectation ola young and ardent ma
ture.
About eight o'clock the old buffers
came around, and having listlessly
examined the periodicals, watched the
opportunity which Rolf was quivering to
give them, and raised the glasses hur-
riedly to their lips, and as
hurriedly absorbed the contents.
Then they lounged about as
listlessly as before, for about two min
utes At the expiration of that time, one
of the twain commenced to look sur.
prised The other man also looked as If
he had received unexpected intelligence.
Then their faces simultaneously appeared
griped, and the first man remarked,
"Ol o." and struck for the wall. Where
upon the second man made a similar
statement and also started for the same
destination. Rolf hurried after them.
He didn't go out on the walk where they
were, because they didn't appear TO
want to engage in any business, and
Rolf had just put on clean linen suit.
So he stayed on the step, and watched
those aged people as they swayed on the
curb, and bombarded the gutter with root
beer, and catarrh snuff, and pieces of
liver, and such things as were handy at
the time. He hasn't seen them since.
He regrets this, as he wants to get their
certificate to put in circular. -Dandury
