and invariably speaks his mind, with
indeed sometimes unwelcome thor

says nothing; it is not his way. But,
when Charia grew too old to be kept
any longer at sch Dol, and it became
necessary that home should be made
for her, he was drawn to Haverham m
from the fact Of G!lray having a house
there, being the Squire indeed, and
no inconsderable local magnate, al
though not on a par so far AS worldly
estate went with the very big fishes
thereabouts.

belief, because it seems so natural that
she should love Piers and that Piers
should love her. Whatever other
faults she may have and she is by
no means faultless -Chari!a is not in
the least hypocrlte; she gIories IN
truth. It is to her the most invlgo-

and undehled, and take no hurt--on-

to do her share. Thus truth is with
ner most special requirement; with,

sweetness sweet. Charila could not

Candidates for Congress.

Until within the past month or two,
Jackson County had four candidates
for Congress-Mr. Bundy, Mr.. Will
lard, Mr.. Atkinson and Judge Trip.
It has now settled down to Mr.. At
kinson. He is the only candidate now
in this county. We have been in
formed that each county in the dis
trict will have one candidate. Jack
son will present Mr.. Atkinson; Scio-
to Mr.. Mcfarland; Adams Mr.. Pol
lard; Lawrence Mr.. Neal; Gallia Mr..
Mccormick; Vinton Mr.. Jones. We
can most cordially support any one Of
them who may be nominated. We
are personally acquainted with all Of
them except Mr.. Mccormick, and we
have been Informed By several per-
sons who know him we'll, that he is a
first-class man. There being no OBJ
jections to any of the candidates, let
us see where the nomination should
fall. Some Of the counties set up
"claims" to have the candidate. For
instance, Scioto claims that she has
never had a Republican candidate,
while Adams has had candidate three
terms, and Jackson two terms. This
'claim" could be set up with much
more show of reason by Gallia and
Vinton, as they have not had some Of
their citizens holding other profitable
Offices. Scioto County has had a
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
for ten years, and another elected last
fall for five years more. She had the
Collector of Internal Revenue, a very
important and profitable Office, for
some fifteen years.
We are not now making any attack
upon Scioto County. We have al
ways given her candidates our best
majorities, and will promise Mr.. Nc
Farland full Republican majority,
should he be nominated.
Next week we will notice the
claims of the other counties.

sas, its crops, &c. | have lived here
nine years, and have had good health
considering my age. | was Is years
old last April, and feel about as well
as did twenty years ago. Now since
| have lived here a wonderful i'm
provement has been made. Cities and
towns have been built, beautiful
farms with all kinds of crops and
groves of nice timber growing in ev-
cry direction. What a great differ
ence between Kansas and Ohio! In
Ohio they are cutting down the large
timber and grubbing out the young
sprouts, while here everybody is plant
ing some timber every year.
This is beautiful country, and a
good country for farming and stock
raising. Crops of all kinds in this
county are good. Wheat is the best
crop ever raised, and harvest will be-
gin next week. We are having mos
too much rain so far. l am living

FLATToP MOUNTAIN, w. VA, June 8, 1882.
To the Editors of the Standard:
AS there are several persons in jackson county de-
sirous of learning something about this portion OF
country, have concluded to send few lines for pub
lication in your valuable paper. We get the STAN
DARD tolerably regular, and greet 1t with hearty
welcome.
Flattop Mountain is large plateau containing sew
eral thousand acres of level land interspersed now
and then with numerous springs of neverfaling pure
water. Climate mild and healthful. We have good
rich soil, plenty of good timber such oak, poplar
chestnut, sugar MAPLE hickory, walnut and various
other kinds. An abundance of good coal veins from
two to fourteen feet thick. There is a railroad In
process of construction coming down New River to
the mouth OF East River, thence up East River
through Mercer county to the head-waers of Guyan,
on Flattop, to be completed at once, thence down
Guyan river to the Ohio.
Land here is mostly unimproved. There some
plantations here that were deserted by the owners
during the war that can be bought low for cash.
This has been backward Spring, since the 10th of
April. We have fine growing weather now, and
crops are looking well. Farmers are all busy Squir
rels quite plenty. Come with your guns.

Race Prejudice.

We hear a'good deal said yet about
the Gearman vote, the Welsh vote,
the colored vote, &c. The Constitu-
ton Of the United States knows no
such distinction, and it is about time
that demagogues and blatherskites
should shut up on this subject.
The Democrats have been saying
for many years that the Republicans
never give an Office to colored man,
and only use the colored voters to
elect white Republicans. Great sym
pathy has been manifested by Demo
Gratis, for the poor colored brother,
although the Democratic party never
gave colored man an Office.
The colored men have almost unan-
imously voted the Republican ticket,
ever since they have had the right to
vote. The Republican party gave
them the constitutional right to vote,
and this against the determined oppo-
sition Of the Democratic party.
Now the Republicans Of Jackson
County have put upon their ticket a
man, some of whose remote ancestors
may have come from Africa. No
man can say word against his color,
or his in telligence, or education, or
natural ability, or moral character.
The Democracy is frantic. behold" }"
says the Democracy, "a niger has
been nominated over Welshman!
Let us see. The Democrats had ma
jority in Jackson County ever since
the days Of General Jackson, in the
year 1928, up to October, 1858. (In
the spring Of that year we became ed
itor Of the Standard.) In the year
1858 the Republicans carried the
county, and they haye carried it every
one Of the twenty-four years since
that time. During that twenty-fou1
years Welshmen have been elected to
offices in the county, as follows:

THE German Lutheran Church al
Columbus, Ohio, became offended at
the pastor, and tried to get rid Of him
Failing in this, the members, or some
Of them, got out an injunction against
his preaching on last Sunday. In re-
taliation the Minister securely locked
the front doors with padlocks. But
the Jealous worshipers slipped in the
back way, and employed a man to
preach for them. The reverend gen.
tleman doubtless thought that he had
as good right to paddock the Church
as the Church had to paddock his
mouth.

Charles A. Atkinson.

The Republicans Of Jackson Coun-
ty will urge the nomination of G. A.
Atkinson as candidate-for Congress.
Mr.. Atkinson was born at Webster,
Scioto County, February 9, 1852. His
father is a Methodist minister, who
served as Captain in the army, and
was desperately wounded. His moth
er is a granddaughter Of the late Elias
Long, one Of the pioneers Of jackson.
Charley, as we all call him dere, had
what little advantage the schools of
Jackson afforded. 1t cannot be sup
posed that his fathers calling --eae
him wealthy; so young Atkinson mad
to furnish means to complete his Gwn
education. This he did by teaching
during college vacations, and thus he
was enabled to graduate at the Ohio
University, at Athens, in 1874. He
then read law with the late Judge
Hastings, was admitted to the bar,
and went into partnership with his
preceptor, and so continued until the
death Of Judge Hastings. He was
elected Prosecuting Attorney of Jack
son County in October, 1876, and re-
elected in 1878. He filled the Office
with credit to himself, and to the sat
isfaction Of the people. He is now
practicing law with John T. Moore.
Mr.. Atkinson is young man of
pure moral character a consistent
member of the church, a fine scholar,
a close, logical reasoner, fluent,
pleasant speaker, and pleasant
agreeable gentleman.

'BOB WHITE."
j. II. NJ.

Merrily echoes, from field and wood,
The warning call to the hiding brood,
As, haughtily perched on the topmost rail,
Boldly pipes the vigilant quail:
"Bob White, Bob, Bob White!'',
Over the wheat-1elds ripening grain,
Over the meadows emerald plain,
Cheerily floats, from the briar frail,
The welcome note of the merry quail:
bob White! Bob, Bob White"'
Close to the edge of the busy town
This summer eve, as the sun goes down,
hear it float through the twilight pale,
The happy note of the joyous quail:
bob White! Bob, Bob White"
Like all Gods creatures, he has his share
OF earthly labor and earthly care;
Yet all earth's troubles will not avail
To kill the song of the happy quail:
"Bob White! Bob, Bob White"
Oh, happy the bird! And happy the note,
Pouring forth from his striped throat!
No matter If earthly cares assail,
Victorious sings the merry quail:
bob White! Bob, Bob Whiter
