their respective interests, and we
may hope the scenes of our late con-
flict will not be attempted to be re-
peated.
United we stand, divided we fall.
So let us now do our duty and wheth-
er the man be Morrow, Martin, Brad
ford, Sargent or Faulkner, let him
be nominated by the expression of
the people, and his election thereby
be made sure. S.
GEORGETOWN, September Snow
that the camp meeting is over we
may as well dish up the village Cos
sip and stray waits of the things of
the past.
Just how much of a success the
meeting was financially we do not
know morally, we should say not
much, and religiously, perhaps less.
The restaurants were well patron
lied during the meeting, some Of the
boys spending most of their harvest
earnings. Besides the restaurants,
we had, part of the time, two picture
galleries-one at the grounds and
one on W. p. Barker's lot, in George
town. This last one was operated
by Mr. f. Maple, late of Rivesville,
who is, by the way, very fine artist,
but was sick most of the time while
here and not able to attend to bust
ness. 1t is reported that during his
stay someone, by the use of sulphate,
greatly damaged his material. Sus-
picion rests upon certain parties as
being the perpetrators. Those who
visited Naples gallery pronounce
him a good artist and worthy Of
patronage.
