Rev. s. G. Ferguson, lato pastor Of the
NJ. L. Church South, of this place, returned
here last week, and conducted the Wednes-
day evening prayer meeting. The new
pa tor, Rev. j. Asbury REGISTER, arrived
Saturday night, and preached excellent
sermons Sunday morning and night, creating
quite favorable impression upon his large
congregation each occasion.
A writer in the Shepherdstown Register,
from Summit Point, says:
"Three of our citizens living in other parts
of the county have b.en spoken of as can>
didstes for Governor, viz Messrs. D. B.
Lucas. G. T. Butler and J. H. Ssrider, we
wish to add the name Of another to the num-
Der, who is equally competent and available.
We refer to our friend and neighbour, Col.
Robert Baylor, who is 80 we'll and widely
known in this part of West Virginia. Col.
Baylor, first and foremost, has good war
record is full of cnergy-h"s had great
business cxperience-is active granger,
and as for legal knowledge seems to know
more law than the whole County Court put
together, and many of the bar to boot"
This may be highly complimentary to Col.
Baylor, but the assumption that all parts Of
this county-and by Inference all parts of
every county in the Ssate-should have q
candidate for Governor, does seem just
