JEFFERSON NEWS.

We take the follwingi items from
the Shepherdstown Register
We are requested TO state that
James NJ. Mason, candidate for the
House OF Delegates, declines hold
ing a joint discussion with N. G.
Brackett, therefore Mr.. Bracket
will not be candidate for the
House of Del gates.
Mr.. Boteler has been for some
days in the Western part of the
District lively canvassing coun-
ties in t.,t direction. On Tuesday
last he and Mr.. Faulkner had an
other discussion in Morefield
which lasted from one O'Clock un-
til night. They meet again next
Tuesday at Romney.
PURCHASE OF A FARM. = Mr..
Geo. Koonce, of Harper's Ferry
has purchased the Henderson

$50 acres, improved, of Mr.. Ru-

the sum Of $l1 900 cash.

ESQ. has removed to Martinsburg
We are sorry to loose so good a
citizen from Jefferson. He sold
his farm sometime since TO Mr..
Thomas Files, and has cast his LOT
with the good people OF Berkeley
county. Mr.. b. was one of most
honest, upright and worthy citi'
zens Jefferson county could boast
of, and his numerous friends here
will rejoice TO learn of his future
welfare. Long may he wave
Now, that Mr.. Boteler is so like,
~ to be elected to Congress, we

| Ferry ought especially to "rejoict
and be exceeding glad" at The
prospect of having him to repre-
sent us in Washington. For th'
fact should not be forgotten tina
when he was in Congress before he
proved to be a most efficient frient
to the Ferry and that though "ai
old Line Wing" and not il

Messrs. Editors:

u6SSTS. LLdttOTS. .tttf IAlA'i
The announcement of Chas. Da-
vies, Esq, of Harpers Ferry, as an
independent candidate for the
Senate for the counties of Morgan,
Berkeley and Jefferson,is not only
warmly received here, but with
the greatest enthusiasm through
the whole district. Mr.. Davis only
became candidate ON being urg-
ed to do so, by large numbers Of
people of all parties, who are sick
and tired of the doings of" partic-
ular POLITICAL parties,a who de-
sire free and untrammeled repre-
sentatives in the Legislature and
believing Mr.. Davies to be just
such a man, they insisted on his
taking the field. Mr.. Davies is
very much of a gentleman-is
courteous and affabIe to all who
come in contact with him, while
his well-known legal ability pre-
emlnently fits him for the position
of State Senator. / may remark,
that Mr.. Davies opposition to the
county court, at time, when OPP
position was not popular, is proof
positive, taat professional aflilia-
tions are not sufficiently strone,to
induce him to favor system inju-
rious to the interests ofthe people.
Politically, Mr. Davies has never
been an extremist, but ON the con-
trary, has always taken fair
and calm view of all political is
sues; at all times appla uding the
right and condemning the evil
The people of the district can rest
assured of o,le thing if they elect
Mr.. Davies, and that is, that all his
talent and capacity, will be devot-
ed to such legislation as shall tend
to benefit the entire people of the
district and State. o
| We think the time has come for
people to look TO the Individual"
more, and to the "partyn less,
for whom, and for which they cast
their vote. Party promises are
4 made of pie-cruSt, but personal tai
ents and integrity may always be
relied on. Is.

| Photographer General Bowman, not satisfied
with the laurel wreaths which entwine his pro-
fessional brow, and the enconiums of the brave
and the fair of the Illinois river valley, went to
Sterling last week in search Of "dew-drops' of
praise from the lips OF the diynes who expound
the gospel of peace" from the Methodist pull
, pits of Northern Illinois. He found the little
and big guns of the Rock River Conference In
session, and extremely 10th TO have their pic.
lures taken. They had tried the thing before,
and were not at all pleased with the "fadeess
shadows" which had been takes. But when they
were told that Bowman of Ottawa was to manip-
ulatc the camera-tlat Bowman, whose name Is
household word all over the broad belt of terri
tory from which they gathered; Bowman, the
wagglsh cousin of their honored presiding Off
Ger, the Bishop-they were more than wiling
and in quick order marshalled themselves in
lines four deep along side of one of the outside
walls of the church, Bishop Bowman, tho Pre-
siding Elders and several of the big guns in the
front center. the six footers occupying the rear
rank A large group picture OF ordinary people
is no easy task for the best of artists, much less
one of from two to three hundred ministers,
many of whom are DDS famous as pulpit ora
tors and laborers in the moral vineyard. But
Bowman was equal to the emergency, and eX-
cecd egea Bowman. The effort is the best of his
professional life. With the exception of a few
who sat or 5 TODD at the extremes, almost
beyond the range of the camera, the likcnesses
are life-like and almost perfect. We have never
seen a large photo group where they were so I'M
iformly good and Wherein it seemed as if we
stood in front of living men, looking into their
faces and upon their forms, and not at their
shadows.
