HcIc II W InOse WHO receive the
nomination. Remember the Prima-
ry Convention to meet at the Court
House on Saturday, at 2 o'clock P,
NJ, for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the County Convention
Let there be full turn ont Of the
Democrats and Conservatives Of this
District, and we urge upon them the
propriety of selecting good men to
represent them in the Convention.
STop THEM-For the credit Of our
county we hope that no more Sun
day pic-nics, where dancing, card
playing and drinking is carried on
to the extent it was at Cooper's
Grove last Sunday, will be permit
ted. The whole affair was Il disgrace
to our county, and a wanton desecra-
tion Of the Sabbath. We demand
that the men who engaged in selling
beer and whiskey on that day, with
out either a Government or State IL
cense, and on Sunday too, be indict-
ed and punished to the full extent of
the law. If these Ohio citizens are
permitted to violate the laws of their
own State, let us teach them that
they cannot come over here and VIC
late our laws and desecrate the holy
Sabbath. We do not object to Sun
day pic-nics where they are con-
Quoted properly, because thousands
of people have no other day for re-
creation; but do protest against such
affairs as that of last Sunday.
SHoT-We understand that as the
Chesapeake, carrying the German
picnic last Sunday, on return home,
Il cabin boy named Moore, who was
intoxicated and unruly, was
landed near Mr. P. S. Lewis farm,
and put off of the boat; and that he
then picked up some rocks and threw
at the boat, when aman by the name
of Silyerman, of Pomeroy, and one
named Sharpe, of Middloport, com
mcnccd shooting at him. Moore was
hit once or twice and badly wounded
He was conveyed TO DR., Barton's, at
Addison, where he received medical
attention. 1t was rumored Tuesday
that Moore had died Monday night.
This is a matter that should receive
critical investigation at the hands
Of our law officers, and steps should
be taken to secure the arrest Of the
parties who made this murderous at
tack upon this young man. When
we get the full particulars, we will
give them, let the blame fall where
j. may.
