ADDISON, w. Va, April IL, 1876.
Editors of the Register.
Week after week we receive your val
liable paper, filled with the "good things
tina: are afoat in the newspaper line.
Your paper has the largest circulation of
any in our county. and we all are expect
ing, at the least calculation, to draw a
short horn" apiece, if not something more
valuable; for instance, about hundred
of the ''root of ali evil" That would be
my choice.
The sad intelligence of the death of
our honored prosecuting attorney reach
ed us last night. Josep A. Anderson, Of
Nicholas county, who for the past few
years has been an efficlen officer and has
made many friends amongst the little
independent State" All seem to unite in
mourning for his loss, and extending
sympathy to his berieved family, in the
hour of their deep distress. As strange
as it may seem, this Is the second time
since the war that the office of pros
ecutor has been left vacant by the sud-
den death of its occupant, and from the
same disease, too, apoplexy, which makes
it more strange.
Several of our citizens have just re-
turned from Clarksburg, at which place
they have been attending the Federal
Court summoned there for the purpose
OF Strengthening some of the crooked
whisky" men who have been operating
i'll this region Tor number of years, but
whose day of peace" seems about to
come TO close.
"All that's bright must fade" etc.
The season of garden making is upon
US, ard look where you may you see
somebody busy with hoe and rake, max
in dirt fly and smashing things gen.
er.,lly-especiaily clods. Farmers are
busy, too, preparing the ground for its
spring crop, and all seeming to be in
good spirits, considering the difficulties
under which Their labor on account OF "hard
times" hoping that in another year
when Democratic Congress and DEM
ocratic President has renovated our Ma
tional government, and buried Grant
and his carpet baggers, times will get
easier and money will be plentier, as 1t
was before the panic.
A good many visitors are expected here
this season, to use the water of our cele-
brated Salt Sulphur Spring, which enjoys
quite local reputation on account OF its
medicinal virtues and numerous cures OF
variety OF cases OF chronic nature
Surely no healthier locality could be
chos en- in which TO spend summer, and
recuperate ones health. The addison
Hotel is kept by Samuel Given, Saeriff
of Webster county, ut which place vlsi-
tors can be accommodated in the very
best style with plenty of trout and game
of all kinds 20 supply the wants of the
'inner man" and something stronger, it
necessary, can be supplied on short
notice.
The hunting and fishing here is the
best in the State, beautiful scenery, and
in short everything that could be desired
by invalids or pleasure seekers, can be
found and enjoyed at this place, and at
the aiorenamed house OF orr friend and
jolly good fellow, Sans.
In politics the "Independent State"
hasn't much to say until the time comes
for polling the votes, and then you know
her good people are all right, and will
roll up the banner of Democratic ma
jority over all the other counties in the
State; therefore think we deserve
hearing in regard to the proposed csndi-
dates for nomination in the coming Con-
ventlon.
Hon. Samusl Price seems to be the
tavorite for Governor; Joseph S. Miller
for Auditor; B. w. Byrne for State
superintendent, and Holt or Brannon
for Supreme Judge, there being very lit
tie said about the rest of the State OFF,
