The prihcipalmatter OF interest in our
town this week is the Teachers Institute,
now going on and conducted by Prof. ].
w. Wayman, County Superintendent OF
Peasants county. The attendance has
been very good and the conductors in
structions are spoken Of as fully up to
the expectations OF all. Rev. ]. B. Reed,
OF Sistersville, addressed the Institute in
the NJ. E. Church on Tuesday night, D.
F. Pugh on Wednesday night, and Prof.
P. B. Lowry and Rev. G. Crosfeld on
Thursday night. Allthese addresses were
well delivered and received with favor.
The teachers Of this county are making
rapid advancement and have already at.
tanned a proficiency in education and
school management far above the average
OF the State.
We had the pleasure, last Friday even.
| ing, OF attending a meeting oil the Sisters
vile Garfield Club. The leading address
OF the evening was made by D. F. Pugh.
Our Democratic friends have been insist
ing that Hancock will get large portion
OF the soldier vote OF this county. An un-
usually large proportion OF the above
meeting was composed OF soldiers OF the
late war; and to answer these assertions,
Dan Westlake, soldier, asked the
soldiers present who expected to vote for
Hancock to stand up, but not one arose.
He then requested all who expected to
vote for Garfield to do the same, and
every one present arose. So 1t is all over
the county. The Democratic soldiers
will, as matter OF course, vote for Han
cock, as they would any other man who
might be placed at the head of their
ticket, but every Republican soldier will
vote for Garfield. Indications are now
that he will run ahead OF the ticket in
this county.
The Republicans OF Centreville district
will hold their district convention to-day
to select delegates to the county conven-
ton at this place, August IS. They will
also raise Garfield pole and organize .
club. 'ts
The convention for McElroy district
will follow on Saturday, at which time
they will organize in the same way.
The Republicans oil this county are in
better working order than they have been
for many years, and We will come up this
fall with such majorities as will take the
county forever outof the list OF doubt.

The nomination OF John A. Hutchinson
for Congressman in this district, was well
received, and his talents, integrity and per.
sonal popularity inspire our people with
new courage. To the Republicans OF the
east OF the district we send greeting, and
II each county will do its duty this fall as
well as Tyler, Hutchinson will be our next
Congressman. Prominent Democrats
have said recently that II Wilson is nomi.
mated hutchinson will be elected. Demo-
cratic testimony, as rule, is not very re-
liable, but in this case We are inclined to
believe 1t.
Local politics are receiving the usual
amount OF attention. There are a number
OF candidates for. the different county Of.
fees, but it is impossible to predict now,
with any degree Of certainty, who the
nominees will be. All seem to demand
good ticket. TYLER
