Legislative Nofc&
Mr.. Salisbury, the delegate from Clay
county, obtained lpave of absence yester-
day for tho remain der of the session, and
will leave for home this msrning.
Among the members OF the House who
are Tor the Grst time members OF q legisla-
tive body, none viii carry home o greater
friend Of useful knowledge obtained by
keen observation OF men and things that
will Mr.. Salisbury. Although coming from
one of the smallest ana poorest coanties In
the State, and never having enjoyed the
advantages Cf more than rudimentary
common school education, Mr.. Salisbury
is one Of the best thinkers in the House.
From the few remarks We have
heard him make during the pres
ent session, We feel warranted In
making the assertion that, had be turned
his attention to public speaking he would
hsye been one OF the foremost debators OF
plan yracticed. and common sense men
elected to the Legislature in the future.
Few, IL any, OF the members OF the Leg
islstse have given more strict attention
to business than Mr.. James A. BoSgs, OF
Braxton county-slways In his. seat aud
always voting, and; ss rule, always right.
His good sense and pleasant manners have
made him a host OF friends, and his con.
stiiuenIs may we'll be proud of their Dele.

Delegate Shirtz, Of Writ, is one OF the
finest looking members, and with his
genial and engaging manners, is one Of the
most popular. His-close attention TO his
DATES shows that he Is al ways alive 10 his
con ii sants interests His "Boom' bill,
remoy iDg distractions from Elk river,
passed Yesterday, and no doubt his con.
stituepts will appreciate his services, as
we'll as his colleag aes, Senator Sample and
Deleeske Boggs, of Braxton, who were
deeply interested in IL.
