There is one figure that stands out
refreshingly cool and unique during

al reputation arose, doubtless, from
40 other cause than his refusal to
light on any and all occasions. A
aon-combatant could not hold his
head up iu these turbulent times.
Dsoly had the most delicious humor
and sharp tongue withal. He was
continually getting into trouble be-
cause of his satiricaI sayings. He
was perfectly fearless of speech.
Judge Gresham Que threatened 10
chastise him. Dooly replied: To-
You can do so if you like. You

Anybody can do it, and a great
many have done it, He was once
knocked down by a gentleman that
he had introduced as the inferior

and when rescued from his antagon-
ist, rubbed his head and remarked
drlly: swell. that is the forty

and if ever l got the best of a single
one do not now remember it,
Before Dooly's peace proclivities
were fully known he was challenged
to mortal combat by Mr. Tate. who
came to the field with Mr.. w. II.
Crawford as his second. Dooly ac-
cepted the challenge. Tate had lost
leg and wore wooden one. When
he and his friend reached the field
they found Dooly alone sitting on a
stump. .... = s...-

MARION County MrSKEs.-Clar-
ence L. Smith was selected by the
Democratic Convention at Fairmont
last Saturday, as its candidate for
Clerk of the Circuit Court OF Marion
county. We commend the Democrats
of Marion for their selection in this
case. Clarence is young man of
considerable ability and his profess
sion has made him more or less IA
miliar with the duties that will de-
volve upon him rs clerk, A nomin-
alton to this position in Marion is
practically an election and we con
graduate Clarence in advance as we
feel perfectly safe in doing it. And
we furthermore congratulate the par
ty on its shrewdness in selecting the
best man.
w. w. Campbell, once resident
Of Morgantown was also selected by
the convention for County Clerk. Mr..
Campbell is a good man and is emf
nently qualified for the office. We
are not as sanguine Of the success of
Mr.. Campbell as we are of Mr.. Smith,
but we hope he will be elected.
Hon. U. n. Arnett and A. f. Coma
way were the selections made for the
House of Delegates. The ability OF
these gentlemen is above the average
and we have no doubt they will rep
resent Marion county in the next
Legislature.

the growing crops and cool the over

As soon as the shot was fired More

was certainly fortunate that Joe's
shot did not take effect. AS it was
he was rendered SO nervous as to be
unable to sleep any that night.

Our Railroad.

We learn through the representa-
tive of our narrow gauge railroad,
who was at the National Convention
ofsuch roads held at Cincinnati on
the 18th and 18th inst, that about
two hundred delegates were present
and most of the States were repre-
scented. A great variety of business
was transacted, but owing to the cx
cessive heat, and the time required
in the proper preparation Of the vari
Gus committee reports, the conven-
ton adjourned to Oct. 23d next.
Several points in which our peo-
pie are interested were unanimously
determined by the combined expert
ence of the convention, viz:
That good road, three feet gauge
may be constructed and equipped at
cost not exceeding two-thirds of
the standard gauge Of four feet eight
and half inches, and when con
structed can be operated for sum
less than two-thirds of the cost Of OPP
Grating the standard gauge road when
doing the same amount Of business.
That its capacity for doing bust
ness, when properly equipped, is am
pie for all requirements.
That it is equally as safe as the
standard gauge.
That the capital invested in them
has proved more remunerative than
like investments in standard gauge
roads.
That when built they have given
satisfaction to their patrons equal to
that of the standard gauge.
And finally, that no road should
be built without a reasonable pros
pect of securing paying business,
and the best eetdence that project
ed road is needed and will have o
paying business when completed will
be found in the fact that the people
along the line will subscribe at least
onc-half of the amount necessary to
build the road, and unless that pro-
portion of the cost of construction is
cheerfully subscribed to the stock it
should be taken as proof conclusive
that the road ought not to be built
and if built will not pay, and is not
demanded by the business of the
country through which it passes.
Tested by this rule road through
Cass District ought not to be built,
for less than a thousand dollars per
mile has been subscribed for that
part of the projected line on either of
the routes through that district, and
this is only about one-third of one
half the cost. Now unless the sum
of three thousand dollars per mile is
subscribed along the line Of the road,
or sixty thousand dollars in this
county, twenty miles of road will be
in the county, the road will not be
built. This We know to be fact.
Thirty-fve thousand dollars have
been raised on this side the river,
about ten thousand dollars on the
west side, leaving about fifteen thou
sand dollars still to be raised in Cass
District. Will our friends hurry up
their subscriptions and send their
books to the Manager, Geo. c. Stur-
giss, at this place? The road would
be under contract to-day if the local
subscriptions had been made as was
expected.
