apology for the injustice deliberately done a
worthy citizen and beloved minister, that we

Citizens of Martinsburg, you are
called upon to elect by your votes, a
Mayor and Council. You have your
own choice, and your own judgment
will decide. On the score of giving
one's compensation towards a long
felt want-light-we can see no objcc-
tion-other cities do it, as will be seen
from the letters printed, and even
Wheeling pays no salaries. Compare
the paltry sum of $50 with public spir-
it and make your choice. You want
a man and men who can not be con-
trolled-no more shame hereafter of
cliques and rings and one-man power.
fla change is made it is on that ground,
and if this understanding is not car
ried out in single instance, every
right to public respect and esteem is
forfeited.

call from ST. Johns Episcopal Church

wealthiest and by the statistics OF

accepted, would give full scope to his
untiring ministerial energy, but we
hope that in taking the subject under
full advisement, he will conclude to
stay among us.-Statesmdn.
