Turn 0ufi

Saturday of this week is the day upon
which the Republican congressional
primaries are to be held, and it is highly
important that Republicans turn ou.,
and by their votes show their preference
as to who shall represent them in the
next Congress of the United States.
This paper has advocated the re-nomi-
nation of Congressman Updegraff, be-
cause we believe that he can be of more
service to the district than any other
man named, under existing circumstan-
ces. He is representative of the mass
es of the people of the district, and is
active in forwarding their chief inter
ests. We believe that the common
people of Belmont county-tbe woman
ry-are of the same opinion. They
should be found at the primaries on next
Saturday in force, and by their ballots
sustain the champion of their rights.

IN THE WOODS.
BURR's MILLS CAMP GROUND.
TJTFsDAy p NJ Aup % 1882.

TUESDAY P. NJ, Aug. Z2, 1857. J
One week ago this evening the open
ing services of the twelfth annual camp
meeting on these grounds were held.
For some two or three weeks before that
time several families had been sojourn-
ing here, enjoying the pure air and
freedom from the conventionalities of
the city. At the opening Of the meet
ing over fifty families were occupying
cottages here. Most of the ministers of
the district were on hand, ready for
whatever work Presiding Elder Gray
should give them. Rev. Gray has charge
of the meeting, but is not, as some seem
to think, wholly responsible for every
thing that goes on. The general attend
ance has been unusually small, although
the increased throng on Sunday will
make the gate receipts equal to, if not
in excess of the average. The daily pro-
gramme has been rise at 6, class at
80, preaching at II 80, children's meet
ing at 2, preaching again at 8 o'clock,
and then at 1880 preaching. Three SER
mons day and, so far, only one prayer
meeting, and that last night.
On Friday last the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society held the annual dis
trict meeting. Not very large num-
Der were in attendance. Mrs. T. J. Scott,
of Barielly, India, read an address, and
letter from Miss Thoburn to the young
ladies of the district, was read. Twenty
dollars were raised to make Mr.. Scott
life member of the Missionary Society.
Miss Virginia Minor, of St Clairsville,
was elected District Secretary for the
coming year, and Mrs. Fl. C. Welday, of
the same place, was elected District
Treasurer for the same time.
To-day (Tuesday) was communion
day. The sermon was preached by Rev.
w. D. Starkey.
The morning meetings in the Taber-
nacle have been the most enjoyable of
any, and much interest has been taken
in them. The children's meetings have
been well attended, too.
TIE boarding house keepers have reap
ed rich harvest this year. So have
many stands for the sale of lunch, sc.
The best of order has prevailed during
the entire meeting.
Water has been plenty and excellent.
The annoyance from dust has been
avoided by free use of saw dust on the
walks and drives.
Candidates have been busy, and no
doubt built high hopes from what they
have seen and heard. Col. Taylor was
the only congressional candidate on the
grounds.

COLERAIN.

Once more the granger rejoices that
harvest is over, and that the earth has
yielded bountiful return for the labor
bestowed upon it. We yesterday inter
viewed the Hendon Bios, who do a
large amount of threshing in Belmont
Jefferson and Harrison COMMITTEES. They
informed us that wheat was yielding
from 20 to 32 bushels per acre. 81. W.
Lash, of this township, had IS bushels.
His oats yielded about 10 measured
bushels per acre; it would require about
six pecks to weigh bushel. Eli McMil-
Ian had SO acres in wheat, which is es-
timated to yield near 1000 bushels. A
large amount of hay was damaged by
wet weather, yet there is more than an
average amount saved in good condition.
The corn is coming on rapidly, yet one
of our best farmers says the crop will
be failure-but then he is a near rela-
tive to the man who predicted last spring
that the wheat crop would be failure
Potatoes are affected with rot, but net
sufficient to cause alarm. Already farm
ers are busy plowing and hauling out
manure for another crop of wheat.
Miss Harriet Baile, assistant superin-
tendent at the Children's Home, who
has been visiting her invalid mother du'
ring the past two weeks, has returned
to her post of duty. We do not know
where mere suitable assistant could
have been found. Miss Lizzie Hender.
son, daughter of the late Capt. Hender-
son, has also accepted position in the
same institution. This is also a goot
selection.
Hannah Hall, missionary -at-large. who
was at port, sailed recently. She expect.
to be absent from home during three
years, and travel about $4,000 miles du-
ring her journey.
Mr.. Askew. of Kansas City, was Wis
iting at D. S. Adams during this week
He offered to give US 800 acres of lane
if we would emigrate to his State. VIZ
inquired if the land was fertile. He re
piled, there was only one drawback
they have to carry ladders to reach tht
ears of corn.
Look out for corner in turkeys-ths
crop is very short.
We recently visited Kidd's coal works
and was surprised at the extent of wori
already completed. They are shipping
several car loads each day. With The
exception of small space at the mouth
of the mine it is under good roof.
We don't often meddle with politics
but we believe we can offer a few sug
gestions that would help business along
at the convention at GAINESVILLE: First
close all the grogshops; second, give NJ
free hash to the delegates; third, let al
the candidates stay away from the con-
vention.

IT has been estimated by a Treasury
official that the revenue of the United
States during the current fiscal year will
amount to something like $780, 900.
The Philadelphia North American
appropOs of this statement, says
when the Congressman who passed the
notorious River and Harbor bill over
the Presidents veto hear of that they
will feel tempted to regret their moder-
alton. In spite of their effort to dissi-
pate the anticipated surplus, they have
only provided for the expenditure of
about two hundred and ninety-four mil
lion dollars. That, it is true, is nearly
eighty million dollars more than was
appropriated last year, but the surplus
is still far ahead"

THE Western Distillers' Association
held meeting at Chicago last week.
This organization does not appear to re-
gard the proposed temperance legisla-
tion as an interference with the person
al liberty of the people, or as being
sumptuary in nature. The resolutions
adopted favor the enforcement of the
laws for the observance of the Sabbath
and a well digested license law, with a
biphfigure for each license granted. They
also oppose any conflict with the lead
ing political parties upon the temper
ance question.

Observe,

That at the primaries to be held on Sat
urday afternoon, the polls must be open
ed between the hours of and o'clock,
and close at 8, and the voting for dele
gates must be by either written or print
ed ballots. 1t would be well to appoint
two judges and two clerks of election
from the bystanders at each polling
place, and have kept register of the
names of the persons voting. After the
votes are counted the judges and clerks
should certify those who receive the
greatest number of votes for delegates.
