citizens living along said roads will subscribe

The idea is good one, and we should like to

IS not farmer in the county who would not
be amply paid for what he would have to in,

The BurJOur J.6crsontan, in speaking of
recent address of MIR. J. j. West, State
Lecturer OF the 1. o. Good Tsmplars, deliv-
cred at Phillippi, says:
"Ihe result, is that We are having a tenn.
perance revival and moro interest is taken in
the Lodge of Good Templars, and more new
members are being added to it's numbers
than has occurred for years. OF Mr.. Vests
lectures We Gao speak in tina highest terms,
and when one has once heard him he will
lose no opportunity to listen to him again.
MIR. West is an orator of great ability. His
arguments are very forcibly brought out, and
his anecdotes are told in way certain to
"bring down the house." The unanimous.
verdict of our people is that these lectures
have been the best of the kind ever in Phil
lippi."

sell discovered from an inspection of the rec

Accordingly Mr.. Haley subscribed to an affida-
VT that he made a clerical error in spelling
MI. Ihompson's name "Roldolphus'' instead
of "Rodolphus."

express upon the meaning of the phrase.
Mr.. Alexander j. Cameron of Augusta, con-
tractor for the state binding and stitching,
was before the committee Saturday. During
the year 1879 he received $4,000 for work done
for the state, and in January, 1880, made APP
plication to the Governor and Council for
5000 on work in his hands and uncompleted.
The Governor and Council found on examina-
ton that all the appropriation for binding and
stitching was exhausted; but there was an I'M
expended balance of some $1,000 ON the Free
High School fund. This was paid Mr.. Gamer
on and charged to the account of Free High
Schools.
