BRIDGEPORT.

GO w est, young inau, Go w ost.
West ward Ohio's star of Empire
makes its way.
The Western hilltops are aglow for
the right.
Hurrah! hurrah! for our gallant Logan boy,
Who has led US on to victory in times long
since gone by,
May the star in the ascendant still shine for
old Rob Roy,
But fling out to the breeze-no Bishop need
apply.
We hail with special delight the re-
| nomination Of Sam Knox for Senator.
Sam, may thy life be overflown with
the richest political blessings, and thy
beard sparkle with the tear-drOps OF
congratulation of the fair sex!
The Democratic ticket In this com
munity is voted fit only for ''treason,
strategems and spoils."
The Diamond Mill has put in tu o
additional bolts, and is ia firstclsss
condition now. farmers, bring on
your wheat-you will find ready cash
sale for it.
E. P. Rhodes & Son had about $500
worth OF sugar probably burned in the
great Pittsburgh riot Ere.
Smith & Son, of the old Reliable
-four mill are grinding all the wheat
they can buy, and from the way the
machinery buzzes up there they are
doing a splendid business, and we
know they are making, as usual, No.
flour. Bring on yOnf wheat, farm
orS, and get 81 35 cash for 1t.
The authorities of Wheeling were
very derelcit during the strike in not
invoking the aid of her famous "Pea-
nut String Band" "Music hath
charms" You know, and this grand
com bination might, at least have pull
ed an old clock off the mantle, as they
did at McCOmas' with a string, and
called it an expose of the inwardness
of the strike. They could but be Or
dered awsy,as they were at McComas,'
but then cheek, my boy, cheek would
have saved them.
Mr.. l.. Spence, the enterprising man
ufacturer of Reapers and Mowers, of
Martins Ferry, has shipped So of his
celebrated machines to various parts of
the country. During the late strike,
AAAs oROhSO ihAotutos bC, Uh A1S luh11
were entirely satisfied with their con-
dition and wages, designing reports to
the contrary notwithstanding.
The Smithfield colored camp meet
ing was not good place to be these
hard times. Jim Miskel says he heard
sister relating her experience, say
"Talk ob de Iibetah OBJ de Loh's hour Q
why, bress my soul, it costs dollah
to draw one bref heah"
The moral outlook In our commune
ty is perhaps Hnexcelled. Four church
es, three Sabbath Schools, and five
base ball clubs. The self-sacrificing
devotion of the latter is affecting. We
hope the noble efforts of the mothers,
wives and sisters, who toll over the
wash.tubs to perpetuate this ennobling
psstime, may not find themselves on
first base or foul in the other world.
The unealled for and sacriligious at
tempt of the Intelligencer to bring the
name of the Supreme Ruler into cou.
troversy between that paper and our
selves should receive the just condem-
nation of all respectable people.-Grubb
in Register.
Halstead, the next time you afe
guilty of the ''sacrilige" of charging
the "Supreme Ruler" with making
Grubb, We'll consent to you being
''comnuned." Amt you ashamed to
charge such botehed job as that on
anybody. ....
"The Republican platform in Ohio
bas communistic plank. ."-[ Register.
Then surely by overwhelming testi-
mony you should give it your support.
-[Vide Lucu's Card.
1t pains us to tears that Mr.. Camp
bell, of the Intelligencr, don't quote so
approvingly from the Register as he
did few days ago. Grubb-worms
may do for bait but they are vile things
for home consumption.
Grubb says "Nature made him."
Well don't cry, about it, Nature didn't
intend to do it-it is clear case of false
pretences.
