A prize was lately offered by the
Garrett Rifles of Fairmont of an eX-
giant gold watch, to the candidate
polling the highest number of votes
at % cents piece The candidates
were DIR. Geo. W. John of Morgan
town and John b. Crane, Clerk of
the County Court, of Fairmont.-
Their friends have been canvassing
for several weeks and on last Friday
on counting the votes, it was found
that DIR. John had 600 and Crane but

vises the men of Kingwood who are
unjustly affected by this ordinance
to resist it, peaceably if they can,
but forcibly iftlicy must. Bro. Holtis
an old Kingwooder and knows about
what ought to be done in the prem
Uses, but being lover of law and
order he ought not to advise his old

eventually necessitate the calling out
Of the military, after the fashion in
national politics.

Church at kingwood will take place
on Sunday the 25th inst, Bishop iar-
ris of New York to conduct the ser
