John o. Van Glider had valua-
BILE horse choked to death last week
while eating shelled corn. John is
an industrious man, who can i'll af-
ford to bear such loss.
Saml. c. Robson of Ellington has
been in to see us lately. Sam is one
of our worthy farmers who never for
gets the printer and his needs. Read
er ''go thou and do likewise, for re-
member that thou shalt die" if you
don't.
Alpheus Tenant, of Clay was in
town last week. He is q son of our
old friend A. w. Tenant, "Long
Abe" as he is familiarly called, J and
is postmaster at Pentress New
Brownsville), besides being engaged
with his father in profitably mer-
chandizing at that places
Maj. T. f. Snyder, Joe. NJ. Wood,
James NJ. Bell, Frank Shean and
John H. MADEIRA have returned from
the Sham-Battle at Wheeling. They
say that there was q much larc-
er crowd there than last year, but
things were badly managed; they
didn't have enough artillery, and ev-
cry one was cnquiring of them,
where's the cadets-why didn t
they come with their artillery etc,
etc. We expect the boys found ev-
erything in Wheeling a sham, a fleet
ing show, except-the beer.
Hon. James Hare, of Union Dis
trict, was in to see us on Tuesday.
Mr.. Hare is a man to be respected by
everybody, being person of high
christian character and steadfast in
his principles. He served with hon.
or in the last legislature; was elected
by the Greenbackers and Democrats,
and he is more than ever fixed in IA
vor of what is known as the Green
back doctrines. SO will all penetra-
ting men be when they look into the
subject.
| W. j. Eakin, of Battelle district.
and Daniel White, of Alleppo, Greene,
Co., Pa, a formerly of Monongalia,
were in to see us on last Monday
We regret to learn that Mr.. Eakin
thinks of going West Within
the last thirty years a great many of
the best men of Battelle have emigra-
ted, to grow up with and build up
the great West. We wish more of
them would stay at home and help
build up West Virginia.
Samuel Sears is just recovering
from weeks illness. Uncle Sam"
could lily be spared from this commu-
nifty, for no more patriotic citizen and
clever neighbor lives in it. He takes
upon himself his share Of the burdens
of citizenship, and fills every position
he is called upon to fill with ability
AID with a good conscience.
Arthur L. Cox, of Marion county
has been promoted to adjutant in
the Cadet Corps uice w. II. Seamon,
who resigned and left for his home
in Wheeling last week Mr.. Cox is a
worthy and industrious student and
son of Joseph Cox, formerly of Grant
District this county.
Enoch j. Marsh has returned from
Drew Theological Seminary, Madison,
N. j., with the prefix "Rev" to his
his name. We suppose that Enoch
is now duly authorized to dispense
the gospel to the old folks, look with
longing eyes upon the pretty girls,
and make the acknowledged chick
ems fly.
That excellent mechanic, Robert
Dinsmore, gunsmith and machinist,
was at home a few days last week,
but left on Monday morning for Big
Skin Creek, Braxton, where he is re-
pairing and reftting steam engine.
He will be at home in about three
weeks.
DIR. James Way, who spent the
winter in Europe has returned to
Morgantown and is entertaining his
friends with accounts of his travels.
DR.. j. Pindall Shafer has returned
from the Medical College at Louis
vile. He couldn't stay away from
the Baptist Association.
That staunch Democrat Peter L.
Lazzell was in to see us ON Tuesday.
He comes often and is always well
come. We wish Smith Hood would
