SOME of the Republicans in this
county busted themselves before the
election in circulating lies about some
of the Greenback Candidates. One
prominent citizen in this vicinity now
denies that he told anything particu
lar but says he did remark that Noah
Henderson would rather cut one hun
dred shocks of corn than write his
own name. tits pretty safe to assume
that this same gentleman would make
many other equally as complimentary
remarks. Such things as this usual
ly "come home to roost" and it is pos
sihle that all who engaged in this ne
farious business may be sorry for it
as the ends of justice, though some
times long delayed, are sure TO be ac-
complished in time.

WE would call the attention Of the
City Council to the condition of the
building, in the rear of the court
house, that is used to keep the appa-
ratus for fighting fire. There is a
hole in one side of the building large
enough to admit horse, and several
smaller ones through which men and
boys gain admittance. Hitching
horses to it should be prohibited and
a little repairing done, so that in case
of fire everything could be readily
found and brought into use,

HOUSE BURNED.-Last Thursday
Mr.. "Mike" Sheets house near Gran

gether with the most of his household

sympathy of the public, as he is an
industrious careful man. The fire
originated from the kitchen chimney

care was required to prevent the flame
from spreading into Granville. The
loss is about 81 900.

A Parkersburg Correspondent of
the Register says the following of
President Thompson while in that
city last week:
On Sunday evening there was per-
feet jam at the NJ. f. church to hear
President Thompson. All were eager
to hear the 'little giant" preacher,
and all were filed with admiration
when they had heard him. He GER
tainly has more vim to the square
inch than any man in the conference,
and more square inches Of solid force
and power to his size and years than
any college President living. That
is the way people talk at any rate.
can safely say he is held to be the
least big preacher, and the biggest
little preacher in the bounds of the
Conference.

inal Grafton on independent
Thought" by Mr.. G. ID. Purinton,
who said that human thought must
maintain its Independence. and that
it is this spirit that makes man suc-
coed. This made Cesar hero,
Charlemagne to establish an empire,
and Napoleon a conqueror. BY this
Bacon established a wholesome sys-
tenn of reasoning, for the then falla-
cious one; the Roman Empire be-
came empress of tho world; a system
oftyranny was overdrawn.in FraDce'
the United States was established.
Mr.. Purinton summed up the whole
by saying independent thought rules
the court ,ithe camp, the church. the
State, regulates society and purities
morals.
The next and last performance was
an essay by Mr.. $. Wade on Organ
ic Law" He began by saying there
are laws of Divine and human ORR
gin, and that while statute laws may
be lransgressed without offenders be-
ing punished, organic law cannot be
broken without paying the penalty.
He lurther asserted that whoever Is
breaking statute laws is also. disobey-
ing organic laws. He placed the vi
olation of organic law under two
heads, eating unwholesome food and
breathing impure air. The man who
sways the men In legislative hall,
has sound body rs well rs sound

progress of the Graduating System
This system, as adopted into common
schools, was never in cxistance until
it wa1 inauguratcd into the public
schools Of Monongalia county by Mr..
Wade in 1875; since that time it has
produced the greatest educational re-
vival ever known in this portion of
the country. And its influence is not
confined to our own State, but has
been adopted by many counties in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. A concise
and detailed account Of the workings
from its inception till the close Of the
last school year will be found in the
catalogue together with other valu-
able information in regard to the
schools of this county, which should
be known by every pupil and patron.
The work is well worth many times
its price, and no person, who has any
direct interest in the welfare Of our
free school system will hesitate mo
ment to buy one, as the price charg-
edo cents-placcs it within the
easy reach of all.
