Your valuable paper comes to
hand and affords one pleasure to
read.
Corn is looking extremely well,
and old farmers say there is a
brighter prospect for crops this
year than has been for some years
past.
People are complaining ofwarm
weather and wishing for rain that
there may be an abundanceo of veg
egation. They can't be blamed.
R. Fl. Bryarly has completed
his barley harvest, and is making
preparations to 60 into his fast
ripening wheat. James Thomas
is harvesting his barley and says
it is the finest he ever seen.
Village people unfortunately are
too much given to gossipping and
thus idle away many precious mo-
ments that might be spent advan-
tageously were they to cultivate
a desire for literature. Your pa
per gives good advice in this di-
rection.
The health of our village is
good. Physicians signing for bus
mess I expect) had they the skill
to cure the heart disease, with
which SO many young people of
our village are afflicted, they would
constitute one of the essential ele-
mentS of cOntentment.
Our old friend Judge f. G. Dun
ham slightly turned his attention
to kite making last week, but, af-
ter having made three not one of
which would fly worth a cent, he
has sort of an idea building a bal
loon. Success to him. A flight
through the aerial elements would
be highly gratifying this sultry
weather.
We hope soon to have visitors
from the city to visit our village,
as has been the case in summers
past, We want these good old
lively times to return and refresh
the memory with the pleasant hour
that we have enjoyed, when the
Hollis Hotel was rendered mirth-
full by the sparkling b%rilliancy of
wit, elasticityof motion and grace of
manners possessed in a heightened
quality, alone by those who have
had the advantage OF city life.
Hank, my ears are now being
saluted by the appealing voice of
an earnest advocate of the MethO-
dist persuasion "Wednesday night
and the village church is the CEN
ire of attraction. May it long be
the lot of those fair and angelic
creatures to sound their melodious
voices in hymns of praise, that
those of the sterner and rougher
sex may ever profit by their pres
ence in worship.
AS our increase in population is
very slow just at this time, the old
plan would probably come in play.

The corr is growing finely, but
needs a good rain.
The Potomac is quite muddy, al
though we have had no rain in this
vicinity for some time.
The wages of harvest hands will
be from 50 to $3.50 per day for era
dlers.
The wheat is assuming a golden
hue, and will soon be ready for the
reaper.
Some of our farmers will COM
mence harvesting EARLY next week.
The wheat is maturing nicely.
Harvest hands seem to be plenty,
and farmers will experience no trou-
BILE in securing plenty of help to gath
er their bountiful crop.
The Charleston nominations suit
the Democrats out here very well /;
but the way they curse the editor of
the the Statesman is not slow. He
has tried to make everybody who
took his paper believe that Mathews
was a scamp and rascal equal to Boss
Tweed, and declared he would not
support such a man if he got a thou
sand Democratic nominations. And
in the face of all this he runs his
name up at the head of his last paper
and meekly falls into line at the COM
mand of the power behind the throne.
The editor must think we country
Democrats a set Of great fools, ever
to believe anything he may have to
say. There we're but few here who
ever did have any confidence in him,
and the number now is reduced to
nothing. The people out here don't
go much on a man who is n thing
to-day, another tomorrow, and moth
ing in general. They like consisten-
cy, even if it be in doing wrong.

Politics are flowing rapidly with
Casper Stump in the lead; but for the
idea of Polk being his deputy-not
liking that.
Two dollars a day is the general
opinion of the farmers for cradles
this year. A few who cannot get
hands have offered $3.50.
The wheat is not as heavy as was
anticipated a week ago, and will not
make an average crop.
Wheat is ripening up fast, and
harvest will commence about the
middle of next week. Mr.. Tobias
Herr will cut some wheat on Satur-
day.
A great pulling match is to take

The weather has been excessively
hot for several days past.
The wheat is ripening rapidly, and
harvest will generally begin next
week.
The river is as muddy as a frog
pond, and of course there is no bass
fishing.
The common salutation among
the farmers now is, "Have you
got your harvest hands ?"
A couple of Martinsburg gentle
men, with their families spent the
day on the river bank at Colston's
Spring ON Wednesday. They came
out to fish, but the river was too
muddy.
A party of Baltimoreans are ex-
pected here on the Fourth of July

Miss Lucy Cockerell and Master

The Republican papers of the State
which have quoted old Buzfuz's IA
nous ''plump and plain" declaration
that if Mathews were nominated he
THAT is Bombastes Buzfuz) would
'srally ten thousand Ia full ten thou
sand) Democrats and encompass his
defeat" can fully rely or his doing
it. Buzfuz is an honorable man land
hates "Radical stool pigeons'') and
always performs what he promises,
and never promises what he cannot
perform. Buzfuz said he would do
it, and Buzfuz is an honorable man.
So that we may soon expect to see
the Falstaffian BuZfuZ, at the head
of his ''ten thousand Democrats"
marching boldly on the works of the
ssswag lifters." "Ringites," ''stool
pigeons" and ''swag lifters' have no
mere chance before the onslaughts of

The selection of this gentleman by
the Charleston Convention as one of
the representatives to the st. Louis
Convention, was wise selection, and
one eminently fit to be made. There
is no man in the Democratic party in
West Virginia who has deserved
more and received less of party favor
than Hon. j. N. Camden. He is one
of the best and purest men in the
State, and the Democratic party will
always confer honor upon itself in
stead of him in choosing him for any
public position.

BUZFUz denounced Mathews as a
''swag-lifter,n a "ringite" and q
'scorruptionist,'' and declared he
would not support him if nominated.
Did he lie when he said SO, and if
not, does the great Purifier of cor
rupt politics propose to support such
q candidate ? 1t does really look as
if an opportunity was now presented
for old Bombastes to rise and explain.
