county.

the county, and all others who are
willing to aid them in wrestling the
State from the control of the Bour-
bon Democracy, are requested to
meet at the following time and places
on Wednesday, the 18th of August,
1880, and elect five Except Martins
burg, which will elect ten, delegates

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.-During
the severe storm of last Monday
week, the barn of Alfred Haddock,
an industrious farmer living near
Jones' Spring, this county, was

Preparations were made on last
Saturday by the bunker denomi-

two o'clock p. NJ. Quite a num-
her of members and friends from
Maryland and Pennsylvania are
expected to be present.

now on hand q fine assortment OF

buy will do we'll to call on him
before purchasing elsewhere.
We would be pleased to learn
something of the ancestry of your
SINNERS Gap correspondent, "Old
Black joe" Since the receipt
of your last weeks issue a diversi-
ty OF opinion has been expressed
with regard to his nativity. Some
say he is an American darkey,
while others contend that he Is a
Guinea negro. But we are in
duced to believe that he is closely
allied TO the latter judging from
the way he cackles about Repub-
lican candidates and Salt River.
If he is Guinea at all, he Is close
~ related to those that always lay
eggs with soft shell.
Steps are being taken to raise a
Garfield and Arthur pole at this
place. If we do raise a pole In
honor Of our worthy friends, we
will have ma trouble to find Re-
publicans enough within our own
limits to raise one, one hundred
feet in length and six feet feet in
circumference, accompanied by a
death march played by the JONES'
Spring Cornet Band with Han
cock aud his enormous weight on
top of it.
l notice in your last issue that
the contest for Prosecuting Attor-
ney on the Republican side Is be-
tween Messrs. Feidt and Flick.
The Republicans of this end OF the

know him to be an energetic
young man, and proficient law

Besides, he has been a great work.
er in the party and we feel that he
should be rewarded for his SER
vices. Mr.. Feidt is very popular
among our people, and If nomina-
ted will receive larger vote than
any other candidate that could be
named. Mr.. Flick has ability but
lacks energy. Mr.. Feidt is not
without ability and above all has
the requisite qualifications for a
good Prosecuting Attorney, S..

he is going to do it without stop

SHORT STOPS.

Oh, no, We didn't "listen to the

The Convention has come and
gone. Weaver has been here, and
departed. Now for the circus.
The town was full of editors this
week, attending the convention.
We had the pleasure of meeting ma
ny of them, aud found them all good
and jolly fellows, as editors always
are.

Ripe berries tempt wight to thorny

There was excellent order in town
during the Convention. The arrests
for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct were few compared with the
immense crowd in town.
We would say to the ladies of
Berkeley county that this is just the
proper time to pat up their fruits,
jellies, preserves, &C., for exhibition
at our Agricultural fair this fall.
We will have an abundance Of ber-
ries peaches, pears, apples, &c., this
season, affording the ladies an OPP
portunity to vie with each other in
friendly competition, and as the ag-
ricultural society is making extra
efforts to afford them accommoda-
tions for large display in this line,
we trust that our lady friends will
begin now to make the proper prepa-
rations to do their part to make the
Exhibition a grand success. L1.l@
