AN ADDRESS.
To the Voters of Cabeu County.


Without any knowledge, act, or procu-
rance on my part, and Unexpectedly to
me, a meeting Of my fellow citizens, MEM
bers Of the Democratic party, have pre-
scented me as proper person TO represent
youin the next House OF Delegates. This,
in addition to the earnest solicitation OF
many friends, prompts NE to make this
address.
With no little hesitation and distrust
of my abilities, have consented to permit
my name to go before you; and in doing
so, feel that ii is right and proper that
YOU should be informed of my course. II
elected to that responsible position. In
politics, have always been Democrat,
and, in the main, approve the principles
of that party. But IN my conduct and
votes, / will be governed by my sense OF
right and duty, regardless of partisan ends.
| will endeavor to lessen the burdens that
rest upon the people, by advocating such
measures as will reduce our taxes, es-
pecial!y in our county government. / will
be found an advocate for the cause OF Re
ligion, Morality, Temperance, Justice, Ed
ucation and good order. whenever they
are before me for my action, and are proper
subjects for legislation.
In my votes for individuals for official
positions, | will be governed by fitness
and efficiency, which, in my opinion, is
capability, honesty, character, industry,
and harmony in political principles. | do
not approve Of the practice Of riding over
the county soliciting votes and using APP
pliances to secure an election. | am not
an orator. to address you, but have no
concealments, and will answer any ques-
tons OF public nature when called upon,
if have formed an opinion thereon. In
experienced, will need your counsel and
instruction. promise to obey you, or re-
tire if your instructions are opposed to my
sense Of duty.
To my fellow citizens who have ex-
pressed their confidence in placing me be-
fore the people, have to say that my
tongue or pen can never describe the feel
ing Of gratitude occasioned by your action
in comforting upon me so great an honor.
| appreciate it as an unsought and I'M
merited compliment. And il the people
sanction your act by electing me, though
it will require the sacrifice Of personal feel
ing and the desire to be with loved ones at
home. vet to be thus selected and elected,
would be an honor | could not lightly es-
TEEN. II elected, trust may be guided
in the discharge II my duty so as to re-

GUYANDoTrE, Aug. 9TH, 1S74.-Good-
ness, gracious. Why won't something
happen to relieve tins terrible monotony !?
Why, Just think of il, | have been doing
nothing for two whole weeks, since | last
wrote you, but running around, not Ike
Satan, seeking whom l may devour, but
trying to gather some news or gossip; but
so far have signally failed.
Three of our young ladies have been
absent for about week, on visit, enjoy
ing the hospitality Of the Huntingtonians,
and from the descriptions | received, they
must have had charming time. All.
but it delighted me to hear them say they
preferred the shades Of Guyandotte to the
sun Of Huntington.
Our town has been remarkably healthy
flr the season, but there are at present
three or four cases OF sickness, two Of
whom are quite i'll. Mrs. Burks is not
expected to live.

one diversion, viz: the choir meeting, every
Wednesday night, conducted by the pas

regret to say that Mss Ella Ricketts,

THE ELEvAToR-The Elevator is

mond took about $4,000 of the
stock, the balance (say s30,0O0) was
taken in New York and Huntington.
There were many persons in Hun
tington who would have been glad to
take stock in it, but the truth is, they
were not able; business has been so
Frustrated here since the panic last
tai, that the merchants are compelled
to make use of all their capital to
su tain their business, consequently
they have nothing to spare for out
side enterprises. We learn that the
contract for the erection OF the Ele-
vator, has been given to some par
ties in Chicago. This Is wrong. We
are aware that it Is the duty OF veal
thy and enterprising towns Ike Hun
tington to help poor places that are
struggling for an existence, like Chi
caeo, but Huntington herself needs
some help now, and we confess we
cannot understand the policy of the

to be done here, to Chicago Thee
are mechanics here, who are as COM
petent to build elevators, as any in

tract, AMI Of course if the work was
not executed properly, it would not

miles in southeastern Nebraska, which,

GRAssHoPPERs.
The above named peculiar little crea-
lures have, in some instances, been most
grievous pest in this frontier country
Unlike many of the other pests in the
world, grasshoppers are particularly sys-
tematic and neat in all their movements
and works They always travel south
ward when the wind blows from the north.
Sometimes countless myriads are seen in
the air, probably thousand feet above
the earth. And these countless numbers
are seen, sometimes, for weeks at time,
making their way 10 the South at the rate
of about ten miles per hour. As the wind
ceases to blow, they all, with one accord,
come to the ground, and then begin their
work Of devastation. All the former COM
bined armies of the nation wouldn't sweep
more thoroughly the crops, and every
thing Of the vegetable kind, than these
vast collections OF insects. In two hours
time, | have seen every green thing liter
ally eaten up by them. | have seen large
corn fields stripped as completely as it was
possible for them to be, and often not a
spear Of grass, nor any green thing, re-
mains within hundreds Of acres Of rich
country. These wonderful insects are Wis
ting US again this season, to some limited
extent.
The farmers dislike their appearance
quite as much as the whisky men OF mod
ern times detest the works of the crusa-
ders. Indeed, imagine these grasshop-
pers of the northwest are even greater pests
to the country than the women OF Ohio
were to their whiskey friends
Lee.
