Since Wheeling has organized two ri>
fle clubs and taken to shooting all the
papers in the neighboriug towns and
cities are inquiring why they can't have
rife clubs Also Register.
We should think that any neighbor-
ing town would have a. much right TO
organize a rife club as Wheeling. But
it is no. necessary to organize club in
Preston county To beat anything that

who can shoot rat out of a cats mouth
at a distance of 900 wards with an ole
time horse pistol anI never hurt the cat.
We hope you will not get mad IL YOU
find an y after your name, on the mar
gin of the paper, but that you will pre-
pare yourself wi n an extra Sl.50 when
you come To the Circuit Court and pay
us for a years subscription.

Grafton which is 10 succeed them, ought
to be sufficient incentive TO induce
those invited 10 contribute their best ei-
forts"
