OUR NEIGHBOURS

The Greenbackers of Hagerstown
are organizing campaign club.
The physicians of Hagerstown re-
port several cases of scarlet fever
among the children of that place.
The wheat crop in Jefferson coun-
ty, as far as threshed, has tarned out
splendidly.
Frank Wiles, boy, in Hagers-
town, trihed with pistol the other
day, and shot himself through one
of his hands.
The mercury reached 1922 in the
shade at Hagerstown on Tuesday.
1t was the hottest day of the season
throughout the country. 1t reached
1902 here.
The Spirit says: The stable and
courthouse of Calvin b. Heikes,
Esq, about three miles southeast of
Charlestown, together with seven
teen tons of hay ricked outside and
farming implements within the
buildings, were destroyed by fire on
Saturday afternoon last. Supposed
accidental origin. Loss about 5000,
on which there was an insurance of
$3.50.
The Commissioners Of Washing.
ton County, Nd, having been petit
toned for free ferry over the Poto-
mac at Hancock, have decided to
visit that locality and make the
necessary examinations. A recent
act Of the Legislature empowers
the commissioners to establish this
ferry if deemed necessary, and it is
more than likely that our Hancock
citizens Will be favored with it.
The Spirit Of Jefferson says, a large
straw stack belonging to Mr.. III. w.
Crittcnden, near Ripon, Jefferson
county was destroyed by fire on Tues
day afternoon last. On Tuesday night
a threshing machine belonging to a
neighbor, Mr.. VIM. Lloyd, was also
burned. Two strange negro men
were seen lurking in the vicinity,
and strong suspicion attaches to
them having been incendiaries in the
cases.

We have had spell OF extreme
ly hot weather.
The health of the neighborhood

Farmers are now busy getting
up their oats and hay.
The corn crop Is looking well,
although the ground is beginning
to get dry.
Politics Is very quiet on the
creek. Hancock lien are scarce
here.
Wheat threshing has COM
menced on the creek. Mr. Joseph
Kitchen has started his steam
thresher--the first ever cut in
operation In this neighborhood--
and ia doing splendid work.
Old Squire r., has been out and
helped cut several bee trees. The
bees, he says, never sting when

ty-furnishing his neiohbors with

If the Democratic party imagines
that the contest in this State win be
a walk over, and carry on their cam
paign in that belief, they may be
rudely deceived when the votes are
counted. The Republicans will
make determined fight, and will be
backed up 10y the Republican Ma
tional Committee. At least we
judge so from the fact that Mcssrs
Jewell and Dorsey, Chairman and
Secretary of that Committee, on
their return from a conference with
Gen. Garfield told a Cleveland re-
porter that vigorous campaign
was arranged for, and that they be-
lieved they would certainly carry
New York, Indiana and Florida,
and possibly Vest Virginia" That
means that they will make fight
for West Virginia, and in the ac-
knowledged disorganized condition
of the Democratic party, might
mean success. A campaign of blow
and buster and mud.finging
amounts to little with intelligent
people, and the party that relies on
it to the exclusion of work and Or
ganization, will realize their mistake
when it is probably too late.

STEVE DUNHAM's "PARD" be.
gins to sing small. The serious
trouble with him is his personal
record. Personal abuse and villifca-
ton is his only "forte." He de-
lights in it, and applies it whenever
he thinks there will be no retort.
But he is afraid of the "facts," and
always lets up when he thinks he
has reached a point at which they
are likely to be forthcoming.
1t is our custom to select our
weapons according to the character
of the animal we are cunning after.
And 80 In discussion. Gentlemanly
treatment is always reciprocated,
but when we are forced to notice a

our readers may know just exactly
who and what the character of the
fellow is we are handling. If such
parties prefer not to be SO han
died, they can so elect. 1t is only
necessary that they do not wag their
vile tongues about US.
Had the occasion, in our opinion,
justified it, we should in this issue
have commenced with the publica-
tion of a letter which we received
from a responsible correspondent in
Morgan county two years ago, land
which, at the request of several gen.

was not published) giving true &C
count of old Buzfuz's) visit to
Berkeley Springs on a political mis-
sion of his own; the result of his
propositions to "sell out;'"the pitia-
bic plight in which he left the place;
his experiences at the depot and on
the train, &C. This we should have
followed up with his Durham scrape,
his lottery ventures, &c. I, &C., until
the picture was completed, when we
should have presented him, thus
drawn, as splendid figure head for
party leader, reformer and would
be manipulation of county conven-

THE Morgantown Post says that
Martin has knocked the Lucas dele
cation in that county to pieces;
shat there are now but two Lucas
men in the county, and neither of
them will attend the Convention;
that even the Chairman of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee has
given in his adherence to Martin,
and revised his hitherto declaration
that he was for Lucas" This is in
verification of the general outlook
that Lucas is virtually out of the
fight, and that the contest is be-
tween Martin and Hoge.

OLD BUZFUz is always polk
ing his snout into other peoples
business, although he has never
shown the capacity to properly at
tend to his own. We take it that it
is no concern Of his, or the public,
whether we have much or little or
any pecuniary interest in the INDIE
PENDENT, or in anything else, for
the matter of that. But the public
have right to know if we are hon
est; if we pay our honest debts; if
we have a good moral character. If
satisfied on these points. and that
we earn an honest living by honest
toll, it ought not to effect our stand
ing in the community in which we
were born and raised, if we have not
a dollar to our name, old Buzz
fuz to the contrary, notwith-
standing. If we had ever, or now
have and use for our own purposes,
money achich righJully belongs to some
one else, the case would be different,
and the public might be interested
in knowing the facts, and they would
have right to know, especially if
we set ourself up as leader of opin-
ion and moral and political reforms.
In that case the following would de-
pend largely on the character of the
leader. A dishonest man is likely
to sell Ills opinions to the highest
bidder, and would not make a proper
leader except for a gang of forgers
or lottery swindlers. fTEs58 {
We might with some propriety en-.
quire what pecuniary interest the
Old man has in the Statesman, and
why the son has been known as pro-
prietor, and he simply as editor. But
that is matter that does not
trouble us, and concerns only those
who might have sonie interest
in knowing his pecqniary liabili-
ty, if within reach of limitations.
Our readers will pardon us for oc-
cupying space in abiding to one
whom we have heretofore branded in
manner to really preclude further
notice. If necessary, we shall prof.
ably reproduce that denunciation,
as sufficient for declining a further
notice of him.
We hope he will be thoroughly sat-
isfied that we own the INDEPEN-
DENT this week. yv ft.y
