ground and stood 10 readiness on ei,h-
or side of tho stream-thc males on
ono side and the females on the other.
The females wcro dressed in white,
with white turbans around their heads,
and tho men, with white shirts, and
white hanikcrchicfs around their heads,

tent to fill the Office if elected, l ask
the privilege, in justice to young man
who has thus far made his own way in
the world and is ambitious enough to
try and do better, to correct the false
impression, through your columns.
Mr.. Wagner has been voter for six
years, has acquired, through his own
efforts, more than ordinary English
education, speaks, reads, and writes
German, fuently, and is known as one
of the best penmen in Junia.a county.
Being of a retired and unobtrusive dis
position, he has not made himself con-
spicuous, but he is old enough and
competent enough to make as good
Prothonotary as ever filled the Office in
Juniata county. He is sober, indus
trious, and honest, and an intelligent
and uncompromising Republican. Give
him fair show.
FAIR PLAY.
