Your reporter remembers whe4siR the years
OF his early manhood he used to SIT, as 1t
were, at the feet Of this learned reformer
and listen, as he would eloquently crate
upon-the beautiful symmetry and etegant pro-
portions of the now iefunct rag baby, and

no money.
GENERAL SEws.
Mr. Albert Serick and family have gone
to visit friends in the Buckeye State. Your
reporter was mistaken in his statement
made in a previous issue Of your paper,
that the donkey locomotive belonging to
the Riverside nail works had set fire to the
tressle work on the Ohio River railroad. 1t
was the engine belonging to the Belmont
Iron Company, and We wish to say further,
that if the above railroad company do not
desire to have the track consumed by hire,
they will prevent this engine from running
over their road; it has been done some two
or three times, and at each time has some
of our citizens been forced to distinguish
the which drops from very defective ash
pan. Posters have been pasted up calling
for a convention of all Republicans who are
opposed to the machine method in politics,
to meet at the Court House on Thurdas,
August Dist, to formulate ticket with which
to defeat the ring candidate. He will be
quiet observer OF how the thing will DC
done. 1t is absolutely certain that II the
election would take place now, the kanga-
roo ticket, as the reporter calls it, would be
unanimously bounced. On Wednesday last
while some men employed at the Benwood
mill were hosting some heavy metal with
derrick the ropes broke, causing the der
rick to fall, severely injuring VIM. Towns
and Isaac Grist The wounded men were
taken to their homes and medical assistance
summoned. The Ohio River Railroad Com
pany certainly desires to contribute some
what to the comfort oftheir patrons and
why some sort of building is not erected
here is a mystery; all along the line OF their
road depots have been erected, but Ben
wood. who furnishes ten to fifteen passen-
gers for every train has none, and so they
have to stand out in the hot sun and wait
for the train. This should be attended to.
Personal POINTS.
Prof May, the very proficient superln-
tendent Of our public schools, has been ten.
dered the appointment OF superintendent OF
the graded schools of Moundsyille at an in
creased salary. Although he has not signi.
fed his intention of accepting, yet 1t is very
probable he will The A. 0. q. W. lodge

his recent indispesition. Mr.. Albert Serig
was able to appear ON the streets yestor-

The double funeral Wednesday of Walter
Tunney and Patrick Dixon, who met whit

the saddest events in the annals OF Ben

Benwood Iron Works in all its departments
will resume on Tuesday next. The farmers
of this vicinity are engaged in threshing.
