Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1878-08-29

ties, was heid at London last Friday.
The C. & N. V. Ry. will run an ex-
eursiOn train to the Colored Camp Meet
ing at Circleville next Sunday. Fare for
round trip from Washington, 6Oc.
Notwithstanding brother Kerr's flat
tering commendatiOn of the Democratic
County ticket, we venture the assertion
that he will not vote for man on the
ticket at the October election.
Mrs. Adams, daughter of VIM. Bay,
of Staunton, died at her home near that
place, on Sunday morning, and was bur-
led in Washington Cemetery on Monday,
She leaves husband and young babe.
- Brother Kerr charges the HERALD
with intimating that the Democratic ticket
nominated at their county convention was
a weak one, and emphatical1y denies the
truth of the insinuatiOn; nevertheless,
we must insist that it was very weak
ticket-so weak, indeed, that it began to
fall to pieces before it was a week old, and
the county committee had to go to work
patching it up; and, in doing so, we don't
see that they have strengthened it any.
- The Poe Guards will give the Pub
lie an entertainment at Music Hall, to-
morrow (Friday) evening, consisting Of
vocal and instrumental music, stump
speeches, etc. As the State does not pay
the militia in advance-nOt till after the
next Legislature convenes will they re-
ceive their pay for camp service-the pro-
ceeds of this entertainment will go
toward subsisting the men while in camp.
Give the Soldiers a benefit. The admis-
sion fee is small, only twenty cents; Chill
dren admitted for ten cents.
Members of the Poe Guards and Du-
quense Blues were out serenading their
friends last evening, and in their round,
made charge upon the HERALD Office; !;
after effecting an entrance, sounds from
stringed instruments made the room re-
sound with music sweeter far than ''Gid-
cons Band,' which the editors would
have been none the wiser of-they being
absent at that hour-had not one of Edi-
sons Photographs retained the sounds,
and we are thus enabled to present the
fact to our readers this morning.
A Sunday-school meeting was held
at Bethel NJ. E. Church, in Madison
county, last Sunday, at p. m. Morris
Sharp, of Washington, was present and
addressed the people, and gave a number
of interesting and instructive black board
lessons. Rev. W. D. Cherington then
followed with an address, on Sunday
school Work. The congregation was
large and appreciative, and a good de-
gree of interest prevailed through the
meeting. This school, under the able
superintendency of Mr.. j. S. Pancake, is
doing good work.
