The nomination of the Hon. w. L.Wilson
by the Second District congressional conyeu>

not sought, aided or Allotted by him in any
manner whatever.
from the Martnsburg statesman.l
Mr.. Wilson is one of the most popular dem>
oorats in the District, and will poll its full
democratic vote. Many republicans will supp
port him.
tFrom tho Shepherdstown Register.]
No better man could have been named for
that position and no one that will FIJI the office
more efficiently and with more honor and
credit to his constituents than Mr. Wilson.
He is an able lawyer, ripe scholar, ready de-
batter and fluent speaker.--He is no mere
politician, but will prove himself Statesman
such as we had in former years, before politics
and legislation became SO corrupt and COR
rupting.
From theKingwosd Argusl
Mr.. Wilson is ripe scholar, a fine lawyer,
and christian gentleman of spotess charac>
ter. His nomination at Piedmont assures
Democratic harmony and success in the Sec.
ond District in the pending Congressional
contest, which Will be short, sharp, and de-
cisive.
From the Martinsburg Independent
Mr.. Wilson is an honorable gentleman.
though OF a retiring disposition, and if any,
thing is better fitted for literary pursuits or
scholarly positions in education fields, rather
than the turbulent world of politics.
From the Romney Intclligeucer.J
MIR. Wilson's eminent fitness for the po>
sition is acknowledged by all, and that he
will lead the Democratic hosts of the End
District, We have no doubt, to final and elo-
riuus victory. &c
From the South Branch Gazsttel
He is well known all over the District
and is just the man to heal the sore and pole
the full Democratic strength.
tFrom the Piedmont Dispatch.]
We were going to attempt to say something
good for Wilson, our candidate for Congress.
but we can speak of mono of his virtues not
known to our people. They know him and
will vote for him.
From the Grafton Eagle.l
The Democratic Convention of the Second
district in nominating William L. Wilson,
Esq, OF Jefferson, candidate for Congress,
did an act OF which every member of the
body may well be proud. Mr.. Wilson is a
native of Jefferson county, man of eminent
ability, and of very high character for hon.
esty and integrity. In these respects we can
| safely say he has no superior in this State.
AS an orator he has few, if any equals, and
VIC are justified in saying he is honest and
capable, and his nomination will be hailed
with delight by every Democratic voter of
the district, and the more they know him
the more warmly will they become attached
to him, for he is exceedingly popular with
the people who know him best. The party
in this district is now united, harmonious
and Jealous, in support of their noble STAN
dard> bearer. He is just such man MS tho
people want in Congress, and we predict his
triumphant election by a sweeping majority
on the 10th of October. =
CLARKE ITEMs.-From the Courier we
copy the following:
The brick work on the new NJ E. Church
South is being pushed forward.
Maj. s. j. q. Moore last week took the
oath OF office for mayor of Berryville, a posi-
ton to which he was recently elected.
During match game of base ball, played
between the Charlcstown and the wildwood
8, on Saturday last, Richard Estep had his
nose broken by ball.
At the Shenandoah Baptist Association.
which organized at Berryvillo Wednesday,
resolution was passed requesting the Bap.
fist State Board to appropriate $500 towards
sustaining minister of their denomination
in Winchester.
Mr.. Il. NJ. Alexander, living several miles
west of Berryville, suffered heavy loss by
fire on Friday night. His barn together
with his wheat, hay, and agricultural imple-
'menss, were destroyed. The fire it is sup
posed was the work of an iuceudiary.
On Tuesday morning, about o'clock, the
barn on Mr.. Leo. Wheat's farm, situated a.
bou. miles east of Bcrryville, was DESTROYED,
together with most of its contents, by FIRE.
There were in the barn 500 bushels of wheat.
(two>ffths of which belonged to Mr.. Wheat
and the remainder to his tenant, Mr.. Will
lingham,) lot of hay. and seven tons of
fertilizer, all of which were consumed. How
the fire originated is mystery. Two straw
stacks situated near the barn were also burnt
to ashes.
WHY SHOULD THEY.-No man or woman can
do satisfactory work when the brain is dull, the
nerves unsteady, the system relaxed and thew
feel generally wretched. Why should ANYBODY
drag through their work in this condition, when
bottle OF Parker's Ginger Tonic will at mod
crate cost give them tho strength and will to
perform their duties satisfactor1Iv.-Ed
