What Political Opponent and Neigh
Dor has to Say About Major
Townsend.

R. w. Jones, Esq, known to many
hereaboutS as a former resident of this
place, now editor of the Athens, Ohio,
Journal, has the following concerning
the Republican candidate for Secretary
of State, who is citizen of Athens:
We are among those who believe that
nothing is made i'll political contests by
ill-natured personal assaults on candi-
dates for public Office, and that any in
Justice done political opponent ulti-
mately and sensibly reacts. Especially
is this true when the individual assailed
has led clean life and is held i'll high
esteem by his neighbors, (who know him
best), and when his honorable standing
as man and citizen is unimpeachable
For the reason we give, which to our
mind is conclusive, and because we re-
gard "fair play as jewel" we deprecate
the attacks of some of our party contem-
poraries have made and are making on
Major Townsend, Republican nominee
for Secretary of State. While we sup
port Judge Lang, the Democratic candi-
date for that position, with all the zeal
and ability we possess, we can see no
possible good that can spring from re-
viving stale stories or exploded calum-
nies on his competitor. Major Townsend
is personally clever and genial gentle
man of very respectable ability and at
tainments, upright and orderly in his
life, and, as rule, treats his political
opponents with fairness and courtesy.

Camp Gibson Notes.

Barnesville is full of soldiers. There
is about 3O1 men III camp, as follows:
Co. A of Steubenville, Al men; Co. B of
Caldwell, "a men; Co. G of Athens, 40
men; Co. ID of BellaiIe, 50 men; Co. 4 of
st. Clairsville, 23 men; Co. F of Barnes
vile, 81 men; Co. l of .Williamsburgh,
3S men; Co. X of Salem, A men. In ad-
dition, the I'd Reg't Band is quartered in
camp with II men. This band is said to
be one of the best military bands in the
State.
The Adjutant General or his assistant
will probably be down on Friday to in
spect the regiment.
On the train. Monday, a straw vote
was taken of three companies. Result
6S for Garfield and SO for Hancock.
Co. A boys were pretty noisy last
night, but strict discipline and loss of
sleep will probably tone the boys down.
The camp is located in the Fair
Grounds. The camp lacks trees, and the
boys on guard will as consequence get
the back of their neck and ears blister
ed.
The people of Barnesville are pleas
ant, sOciable people, and if the "meelish"
boys behave themselves they will be well
treated.
There is no published orders of events
to take place during the week.

Women as Lawyers.

Though Old Mr.. Fogg has long ques-
toned woman's fitness to practice law,
and her opinions concerning legal mat
tiers, no one has ever questioned her
opinion concerning DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription. For women freely af-
firm that the Prescription is positive
cure for those "dragging-down" sensa-
tions, and the many diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to their sex. The Favor
ite Prescription is sold by all druggists
under positive guarantee.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March IA, 1879.
DIR. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Sir-I was treated by four differ
ent physicians without avail for disease
of the liver and uterus. Some time ago
l commenced the use of your Favorite
Prescription and Discovery, being at the
time, confined part of the time to my
bed. AT first my improvement was
slow, but 1 find myself well after the
use of four bottles of each of the medi-
cines. With many, thanks,
l am, very respectfully,
MARY E. GRACE.

The Storm at UniOntOWn.

The storm which occurred in the
neighborhood of Uniontown on Thurs
day last was one of great severity and
much damage was done. On many farms
fences and corn were blown down -
forest timber uprooted and twisted off
and orchard trees blown down, and
those left standing denuded of large
proportion of their fruit and many of
their branches. The violent wind was
accompanied by vivid lightning, terrific
thunder, while the rain fell in torren is
commingled with hail. The hail was
carried with rapidity, thus striking with
great force and seeming to be larger in
size than it really was. The fury of the
storm in that locality was mostly ex-
pended short distance southeast of
Uniontown, and had buildings been
found in its pathway they could scarcely
have escaped destruction. On the farm
of Mrs. Merritt much damagS was DONE
The orchard was greatly injured, over
FIVE hundred pannel of fence was de-
melished, and considerable damage was
done the chimneys of the dwelling. In
UniOntOWn the chimneyS, trees and
vines were greatly damaged, but no
houses unroofed or destroyed. There
was no injury or loss of life or limb as
far as we can learn, and the storm was
not of great extent. Fortunately its
fury was soon exhausted as buildings
could not long have withstood such a
gale.

WOOL NOTES.
Carroll Free Press.

Carroll Free Press.
Wool has not yet commenced gener-
al movement. In the southern part of
the county dealers have succeeded in
buying smaller clips at from 40 to AZ
cents. The owners of large clips still
hold out for so cents, and claim that the
prospect for getting it is good. Buyers
are making efforts to gather up clips,
and are in some measure succeeding, but
the bulk of the wool in the county re-
mains undisturbed, where it was stored
when shorn. so cents per pound will
buy it.
Noble County Republican.
Twelve thousand pounds of wool were
taken in at Summertield, last week high
est price paid was AZ cents.
Cadiz Republican.
There is nothing new to report this
week. The London sales began on Tues
day, and the reports from there will be
apt to affect the market in this country,
either favOrably or unfavorably within
| a week or two. Dealers and manufac-
turers are acting with extreme caution
this year, but there is no reason fol
farmers to be discouraged. Wool at 4C
to az cents is a safe sort Of property to
hold.

The Reunion of the 18th September.

The Reunion of the 18th September.
Preparations for the reurion of the
surviving soldiers and sailors of Bel
mont county are going actively forward,
and it is confidently expected the affair
will be a pleasant and successful one.
The managers of the agricultural fair
have heartily united with the local COM
mittees organized to get up and man
age the reunion, and we are confident
they and the citizens of st. Clairsville
and vicinity will do all in their power
to make it success. The rations
provided on the tables in the fair
grounds may not be up to those fur
nished by the commissaTies during the
war, but We are very sanguine they
will be plentier than they were at Knox
vile, for instance, during the siege.
A gentleman who was up at Hendrys-
burgh few days ago reports that the
ex-soldiers of that township were al
ready stirring themselves, and that he
was assured every living ex-soldier of
hlIhWOOu Wv WOuiu DC flcIO. SIIu-
liar reports come from Pease and other
townships.
An interesting feature of the reunion
will be the presence of the old battle
flags, under which our men marched and
fought, which will be brought down for
the occasion from the tlag-room at Co
lumbus, and will be carried in the pro-
cession. A program of exercises will
be prepared at an early day, and an
nounced through the newspapers of the
county.
A general meeting of the committees
will be held at the Court House next
Saturday afternoon, at 8 o'clock. 1t is
very desirable that every individual
named on those committees, especially
attend this meeting. All other persons
disposed to assist are invited to attend.

We intimated week or two since
that it would be interesting to the de-
feated candidates for Recorder and Sher-
iff before the recent Democratic Con-
vention for the editor of the Gazette to
tell what he knew about it, whereupon
he mildly says that the CHRONICLE lies.
The readers of the Gazette may have OBJ
served that the more truth there is in a
statement bearing down on the Gazette,
the more vehemently its editor denoun
ces it as blarsted lie. 1t is Il sly way he
has of showing his innocence, you know.
