Sheriff.
Mr. A. L. Bickel is announced as
a candidate for Assessor of District
No. 1, subject to the action Of the
Democratic Convention. In look
ing over the whole field, we do not
see a man whose nomination for this
office, would give as general satisfac-

FIRE ENGINE.-We believe it is
about unanimous with our people,
that we ought to have well organi-
zed fire department. If the engine
and hose are procured, we have the
material to form an excellent volun-
teer Company. The town authori-
ties by a liberal appropriation, and
by a liberal subscription from prop
erty holders, could soon procure the
fire apparatus. We can inform the
authorities where they can get an
engine of Buttons build, New York,
two reels and 1000 feet of hose, which
will force through 1000 feet of hose,
an inch and Il half stream over the
top of any building in town. 1t is
easy and quick to get to work. This
engine and fixtures can be bought at
one-thid of its original cost.
We call attention to the Baltimore
advertisements in this issue. The
House of Henry, Maslin & Co., is
represented by Mr.. G. H, Harper; and
the House of James Carey & Co., by
Mr.. ]. W. McCieary, both of whom
are West Virginia gentleman, We
take pleasure in commenting these
Houses to our merchant readers feel
ing certain that they will find it to
their advantage to deal with them.
OBruARY.-Dcpartod this life at
his residence, Robinson District, Ma
son county, West Virginia, February
10th, 1876, Mr. William B. Hawkins,
aged 80 years, 10 months and II
days
Mr., Hawkins was a man of deli
cate constitution; of Il modest and
retiring disposition, it was only his
most intimate friends who held him
at his true worth. He was good
reader, and it was always pleasant
and instructive to draw him out.
For nearly twenty years he was Il
consistent member Of the Prcsbyte-
rian Church, and for the last few
years was an Elder in the Pleasant
Flats Church, Grccnbrier Presbytc-
ry. His Pastor and others, will miss
him in thatcapacity, and whilst they
must shed n tpar nj their own loss, it
is one that is robbed of deep grief by
the fact that their fcllow-eldcr is now
forever with the Lord"
His widowed wife and orphaned
daughter, with a large circle of rcla-
tivcs and friends mourn their loss,
but Jesus has said, "Write blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord. -
May that God and Father who will
"wipc away all tears from his chill
drcns eyes, give them grace to say,
Thy viii be done" II.
There will be no services in the
Episcopal Church at this place, on
the third Sunday in this month,
Q9th.) The usual services may be
expected on Sunday, March 26th,
both morning and evening, at the
usual hours.
Mr.. w. B Cable is going add an
other line of goods to His hardware
that of bar iron, In doing so he
but supplies a want long needed in
this place. We can assure our read
ers that he will sell iron as low as 1t
as it can be bought anywhere.

building, there would be no better
place in the State for high school,
giving all the advantages of a col
