=, Like George Alfred Townsend for his
audaeity, but dislike to be bored by your
local war on school matters daily and
continually. Would it not be good5dea
to issue an extra, to be distributed among
those especially interested, say couple OF
copies. and thus relieve the thousands
from the necessity of using strong adjec-
tives on receipt Of the REGISTER l have
been endeavoring to manipulate by !
thorough search through Webster
and Worcester dictionaries, and
even diving into Greek exercises
to define accurately the true sense of the
word or term "Flippan:," so much used
nowadays by old stagers, born and
reared under the star Of hope. 6. my

truth on the Senatorial question is an
enigma. Was not Samuel, las he is

Hon. John Brannon, Judge OF our
District Court, was u progressive, ill

and worthy the position Of Us S. Yet
we caunot spare him from our seat OF
Justice: or does he aspire to the high po-
sition in the halls of the L. 5. Congress.
Hon. Charles J. Faulkner; that maine

eloquence and prestige to represent us IN
the House Of Commons? l think he will
be so permitted. InlS77 grateful ma

hugely the ebb and flow of oil. We
will not disturb his oleum siestas, by
forcing him to Washington in exile six
long weary years. And yet again, that
whole soul embodiment of the greatest
good to the greater number, the Hon. j.
| VI. Bennett, would sacrifice pleasure
for the pain of Senatorial po-
sition in the government of the U. 5.
With what grace and dignity would he
fill the chair now occupied by Foreman?
Yet again; Henry S. Walker, ex-State
Printer, editor and orator; the Moses OF
the Democratic party of West Va,
has a hankering after the high roost.
But Flippant THAT word worries met
Walker was Oorn fifty years too late.
Flippant-Yet this is Tipping age

Business of all kinds is good, and
money matters easy. We are prepared
to enjoy our coming Christmas dinner
