GEORGETOWN NEws-CAMp MEET
ELECTROMAGNETIC OF THE
PLACE.
GEoRGErowN, August 2S.-The
Camp Meeting, so-called, has been
fairly attended, and with as good
order and success as usually attend
such meetings and our information
now is that it will likely continue
over for another week. The rain Of
yesterday made the situation some
what uncomfortable and except the
weather is more favorable the attend
ance will hardly justify continual
ton. There has been number of
preachers during last week and some
of them are well spoken CT and their
singing complimented. A little dis
orded has prevailed time or two
but altogether the conduct has been
as good as usual on such occasions.
To the occasional visitor it is
pleasant to note the signs Of pros
perity and enterprise in our little
town, which at this time presents a
handsome appearance with its sur
roundings.. We now enjoy most all
that is needed to supply demands: a
good store, mill, church, school house,
saddler, smith shop. &C., and recently
there is added in connection with
our blacksmith shop wagon maker,
a Mr.. Hill, Of Fairmont. A good
shoemaker is now needed and could
find an AL location at this place, and
in order to provide for emergencies, a
doctor would be convenient, but
while good health prevails we can
dispense with that luxury.
Mr. r. Fast is taking Of teaching
two month subscription school be-
fore the winter term begins Dick
is splendid teacher and deserves lib
eral patrona The schools in this
part Of Grant are mostly engaged for
the winter tenn and are principally
supplied with resident teachers.
! Harvesting is now about completed
and threshing and blowing are in or
der. Stock is mostly sold out of this
part and we hear complaints of sheep
not doing well lately.
There has been quite numberTof
visitors in this section during the
meeting but space will not permit a
detail of personals.
SO far we have had a remarkably
healthy season; recently, however,
some indications Of sickness are be-
ing discovered and many persons
complain of feeling badly but we
hope no epidemic will visit us.
We have been requested to ask you
to correct the age as given in the
Obituary of Mr.. James Brand, OF
Missouri-it being 95 instead of So
years.
Our road surveyors are having our
roads repaired, and altogether our
county indicates prosperity. *#*

UNioNrowN, PA, Aug. 26, 1882
We address ourselves to the difficult
task Of attempting to write letter
to your paper that will prove inter
esting.
We reached this place on the even
ing Of the 22nd, inst, and went to
work next morning for the Gas Works
Co. They are exeavating for new
buildings. We have removed the
dirt to depth of about feet strik-
ing solid rock, in which we have
drilled about 20 holes, four feet deep
to be set off today or tomorrow with
dynamite. If the explosion don't
shake things pretty lively, I've missed
my guess.
Messrs. Brown and Durkee, con
tractors for the brick work Of the
opera house were so unfortunate as
to have their work condemned by the
architect, SO they threw up the con
tract and we lost our promised two
months job. Sich is life. But as
we are very 'gassy' it would suit us
better to work for the Gas Co. The
opera house-Academy of Music
is being rapidly completed.
Mr. VIM. Simpson, of .Monongalia
county is working at the, planning
mill We are glad to meet Monon-
galian especially one so genial as Mr.,
S. There are several Monongalia
boys here, among whom are Chas.
Johnson, George Holyfield, Abel
Reece and VIM. Burns. Others who
were here have returned to the back
county. Some move here with their
families. All are doing well.
We too would be glad Of an oppor-
tunity to vote for Harry j. Snively,
regardless of political affiliations.
We had fine rain here Saturday
and Sunday. Corn is safe, though it
will not yield as heavy as it has done
before. Wheat is turning out we'll
Oats not so good. ALEXIS.

Happy Mothers, Happy Children.

Nursing mothers should keep their
infants quiet while teething. Both
mother and child should eDjoj sweet re-
pose. The best thing to assist nature in
bringing about this happy state of good
health, is Browns Iron Bitters. 1t is
very soothing and refreshing in its effects
and trial will prove all we say. Mother
and child should use 1t freely. If you
want your children healthy and strong,
use Browns Iron Bitters.

PREVENTING FRATD.

A curious application Of electricity is de-
scribed in La LHmierc EIecfrique. 1t consists in
device to prevent military COnscripts practs-
ing fraud rs To their stature by bending their
knees. When the youth stands erect against
the measuring post, the hind parts of the knees
press Oh electric contacts causing two bells to
ring; the ringing ceases when there is the least
bending. The sliding ba- which furnishes the
measure has also Il contact, which is pressed by
the head, whereby a third electric bell is
affected For a correct measurement, the three
bells should ring simultaneously. This system,
che invention of VI. Cazala, Is now employed in
ths Spanish army.
