GEORGETOWN AND VICINITY.
A Budget Of News From Bart.

Our Regular Correspondence.
This neighborhood is considerably afflict-
ed with q tendency to erysipelas. Sores
that under ordinary circumstances would
be of no account assume serious aspects,
and have in many cases caused consider
able uncasiness and loss of time.
Wednesday evening Oct, 6, was an even-
ing of incidents in the village of George
town. At the residence of S. A. Hughes,
esq.,, a wedding of more than ordinary
moment was in progress. The bride being
a daughter of w. Hughes (Miss Sallie)
and the bridegroom W. Newton Phenegar,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, formerly resident Of
Bart township
In front of the saddler shop, "word
fight" occurred between the youths of the
neighborhood in which some eight or ten
were concerned At first it was thought
to be political row, but as all the partici-
pants were "Credit Mobilicr" admirers,
this could not be the case. After trying
to fathom the difficulty for abot one hour,
some one of the party let the "cat out OF
the bag" and 10 a girl was at the bottom.
The Good Templars held their meeting
in the hall over the saddler shop and
the NJ. E. meeting was in progress oppO-
site Mr.. Hughes's while between these
two points a band of calathumpians were
tuning their instruments for serenade.
Taking the performance altogether it was
the best variety show we have ever wit
messed, and delineated in full the human
characteristics.
On Saturday evening, the 9th inst, the
Republicans held u meeting at Green Tree.
The various clubs met in this village to
form procession, and were marshaled
around by the Paradise band and county
Committeeman John Keen, of Bart. The
crown was rather a motley one, composed
Of Democrats, boys, and an occasional
329-er. After the De Golyer pavement
and Credit MObilier admirers had passed,
the Hancock and English club of
Bart formed for parade to their place
of meeting, Nine Points, and soon
strung out Il fine line composed of
something over 100 torches. Part
of Salisbury clubs formed the pro-
cession and the whole moved in good order
out Of the village, and past the Green Tree
within % feet of the stand erected for the
Republican speakers. Our march was
through gauntlet of Republicans at this
point and our ears were greeted with many
curses and jeers, but our boys were too
good humOred to notice insults and moved
quietly Oh while the Paradise band played
the tune they have been for sometime
practicing for the Republicans after Nov.
Dead March-when the last Han
cock torch had passed the stand, the De
Golyer contractors, gave three cheers for
Garfield, which was responded to by the
Hancock club with an energy that bodies
no good to the $500 borrowers, in old Bart.
The roll was opened at the Points and
from Is to 125, all voters. The
next club meeting will be in Georgetown
on Saturday, the 10th. After the club
business was transacted the meeting was
addressed by j. d. Harrar, of Salisbury;
NJ. Walker, ESQ.,, of Lancaster, and a
short and meaning speech by John w.
Rutter, of Salisbury. The success of the
effort on the part of the Hancock men to
organize a club in Republican Bart, has
been so unprecedented that we may with
some certainty predict almost total anni-
hilation Of the Republicans former ma
jority. Democrats here mean business on
election day, and when Bart Democrats
put forth their effort something has to 90
or break.
That is, the Republican majority has to
60 by the board or break all to smash and
The sound of a Hancock cheer from the
throats of 125 voters in line gives back an
echo that sounds very much like "smash''
TO the opposition. Just tell a Republican
IN this township that the Bart Hancock
club is going to meet for parade and his
falls from 329 to in short
order.
