TO THE EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS
OF WEST VIRGINIA.

Preparations are now going on to make
the next annual meeting of the Press AS
ISOLATION in Martinsburg, Dec. 10th, as
much of success as possible. We urge
upon the members Of the Association the
necessity of attending, as the business
meeting will deal with matters of par.
ticular interest to the press. Through
the kindness of President Kennedy and
Supt. Boyd, of the G. v. r. R., coach
has been placed at the disposal of the AS
ISOLATION, and pleasant trip over
the Cumberland Valley to Carlisle is as
sured The trip South is not definitely
decided upon. All members who desire
to go, are requested to send their names
to this Office at once. The probable cost
can be estimated on the basis of one cent
per mile, which would make the trip as
far as Roanoke, Va, taking in Luray
Caves, and the Natural Bridge, and re-
turn, with special car or cars to be moved
on the regular trains of the S. v. R. r.
and its connections, cost S4.32. The
cost would be the same per mile to
any point South. If we have some
knowledge of how many will go, we
can then meet the officials and con-
clude arrangements. Members of the
Press who desire to 60 South, let us know
at once; but whether you go or not,
come to the Press Meeting at Martins
burg, Dec. 10Th.

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE.

About every other Democrat now
a-days is expecting an office, and
they have right to; let them have
them. 1t is amusing, though, to
hear their pious cant about politics
being over now and how we should
all go to work together to build up
the country and make it prosperous.
Before the election they told the
people that Cleveland's election
would do that itself; that work
would be plenty, wages good, and
everything cheap. That's what we,
land it seems many of them,-are
waiting for now. We hope they will
give the country no halfway meas
ures, either; ask no quarter and give
none,-but carry out the policies Of
the party unrestrained. People
know all about the Republican party
now, how long it was in power, what
it did for the country and how it
leaves it and the government. Now
give the Democrats the same chance.
We want no check from Republicans
in the House or Senate. Stand off.
A fair field and full play. If the
of the country and Of the
is better and more pros
porous under Democratic rule, then
we are Democrat and will advo-
cate it; if the contrary proves the
case, then We want no more Demo
cracy, and will expect the Ameri-
can people to trust the Republican
party twenty-four more years with
their welfare.

eyer he went-and in his last hours

his daughter, who reached there Sum-
day night. The Professor had been
quite feeble for several years. having
reached the extreme age of eighty
years. AS the sad news of his death
spread among the Professors aequain-
tances, it caused many pang of sad
ness and regret. He was highly re-
spected by all who knew him.
The remains Were laid to rest in
mother earth, in the burying ground
at the Tract. May his spirit, in its
flight across the dark chasm, be greet
ed by the sweet strains from the
golden harp, giving echo to those
beautiful tones he SO delighted in
when among men.-Petersdury Ga

Levi and Matilda Pitsnogle, after brief
illness. left earth and friends and passed
over into the spirit land. The deceased
was an earnest christian, dutiful
daughter and benevolent sister.
She passed away, pa5
Like gentle breath,
And her eyes are closed with the sleep of
death
The leaves on the trees will fiutter and
And the drifting snow will cover
them all,
But she will peacefully, calmly rest.
Forever happy,
By angels blest.
just in the spring
Ofuwomanhood,
Tender and loving, and wise and good.
All too good for this sinful earth!
Only the angels knew her worth,
So they called her unto them,
Decking her brow
With diadem.
Better to smile
When such life
Gives up the battle of earthly strife;
Better to know that her tasks are done.
Trials ended and glory won
Tears areWain, when soul SO bright
Wings its way
To the gates of light.
She passed away
But her sweet good will,
Like fragrant odor fingers on us still
Although the tender lessons that her
death brings
The mantle of sorrow o 'er us filings,
We should learn to follow the path she
trod,
And to be more like her,
Who has gone to God.
