OF the average citizen at present ii
THIS section Is politics. While the
nomination of Blaine and Logan art
generally accepted as the strongest
that could have been made, there are
still few who are disposed to sit or
the fence until the Democrats shal
have met and blundered into theil
usual mistakes, when they, like the
good fellows that they are, will get
down and go to work in the interest
of Blaine, Logan and the perpetua
ton Of Republican principles.
The Free Will Baptist Sabbath
school, Of Baltimore, accompanied by
q host Of well wishers, arrived here
at 1910 p. m. Jnne 9th. The excur
sion numbered about 400. The day
was spent in music, driving and
promenading. In the hall great good
humor prevailed, and everybody
seemed to enjoy the occasion i'm
mensely. They were an intelligent
looking and well behaved set OF
people. Their visits are always wei
come. An address was delivered by
iEev. Allen, pastor of the church,
complimentary OF the grahd work
performed by the Republican con-
vention at Chicago, and of the noble
stand taken by the Pennsylvania
delegation in the interest of the sue
cessful nominees. The speaker pro-
posed three cheers for Blaine and
Logan, which were given with a
will. a short but pithy address was
also given by Mr.. Reid, eulogistic of
the hospitality of Chambersburg and
the devotion to Republican princi-
pies, and three cheers proposed for
old Chambersburg, which were
hea tily given. Professor Johnson's
band, which accompanied the excur-
sion, as a musical organization is
hard to beat. The visitors returned
home at $50 p. m. delighted with
their trip. Come again.
There will be excursions from Bal
timore on 23d June and 10th of
July. Hope they will in the future
extend the time of their departure
from our city to a later hour in the
evening.
Mrs. Susan Manly has gone to At
lantic City to spend the summer.
Hope she may enjoy the trip and re-
turn soon as Well, enough said.
Mrs. Elias G. Craige has returned
to Johnstown, Pa, to remain for an
