We also sec piece from Simple
Simon, writing from llart's Bottom,
prcsumiug to give adgice to those who
have just moved into tho county, how
to act SO us 20 get the supper. Of the
voters Of tho county Nov I DO not
think that man can get the good
will Of tue people, BY copying their
mauuers, md acting rs they say, soon.
er than he can BY acting according to
his own better julgcmnt. But it is
lhO wish OF somc people ID the humber
stations Of life to ape the manners and
customs Of those who have been more
favored by fortune, and is often the
subject Of remark, and rot uCfrcqucnt.
Iy of coutemp:. Nov il Simple Simon
would use more soap, aud little com.

him.
We 20 not write 10 satisfy the selfish
motives Of ar!stCcEcts, but in behalf o:
tho laboriug class OF the community
We arc not making war on the best
citizens Of the county, as claimed by
Simple Simon, bu: We strenuorsIy op.
pose tho efforts Of designing dcmu-
sogucs. That would have tho labor.
Ing class 10 vote to fill their pockets
with the !Jto:ers money. We see the
la56r'r oppressed every successive
year, more scl more, b. these design.
ing scLemers, rnl think it high time
that this uuwou;oa robbery shpG!l be
stopped. There are too many people
like Simple Simon; ever ready to do
wha! their uristocratic noighJors say
for them to DO, whether it is for, or
against ;hcis own interest
1t is the imperative duty of every
voter f;hi5, and adjoining counties to
vote for Clarksburg, because all of the
business Of this anil adjoining counties,
is done ia, and through Clurksburg.
There will be u great many more votes

Pollel in praxton taaa We had aay
idea there r5ald be 1t isu very un.
Favorable time for the subscription,
as tho railroad shows to very great lis.
advantage just new, but re will say,
that il Tie Capital is located at Clarks.
turg, THAT the Weston Il West Fork
Railroad, should oy all means, be
pushed through US there will Lc vast
amount Of business dOGe We could not
Get o;LcTw;sc, And Lewis county
would b. benefited Ly the location Of
the Capital ut Clark:burg uear!y as
Inuch as Harrison would, yet, We have
men that favor the railroad, and op.
pose CIarksburg, which We think scr y
inconsistent.
We learn that there are two candi.
dates III Lewis for the Office of
County Superintendent Of Free Schools,
!NcssTs. Crook and White. From what
We eau learn, Frcf. White las the 10

Simple Simon did not notice all the
improvements in Roanoke. In ad.
dition to that mentioned by him, Mrs.
Waldo is having her house rctitted,
which helps the looks Of tho town very
much. OBSERVER.
