severely injured last week. he WAS
unable TO ill his appointments last
Sabbath on this account
The elements are surely In sympa-
thy with the Republieans-it Is cold,
gloomy aud disagreeable.
Those who failed to have their
houses plastered until now are out Of
luck as winter seems to have come 10
stay.
Mr.. Ed. Wilder, late Of Boston,
Mass, was in town last week. Ed.
will probably start a meat market
here this winter.
The vacant lots In town are being
bought up rapidly, and large hand
some dwellings erected on them. In
a few years Assaria will be the "Prlde
Of the Valley"
Thanksgiving day will soon be
here, but the thought Of 45e for
/ wheat and Cleveland for President, Is
enough to chill the ardOr Of the most
enthusiastic granger.
Truly this is
"Winter's Wild blrthnighi
IN the frstful east
/ The uneasy wind moans with its sense Of cold"
Our station agent Is having the de-
pot entirely reinOdeled inside.
As this is the season of the year
/ when we are admOnished to bury the
hatchet until the ground thaws In the
/ spring, let us "chip in" and send the
LindsbOrg band a nice fst turkey 70
make amends for the supper they
failed TO get here some time ago OF
course this would be rough on the
turkey, but then NON NoMEN.
Boston, November 15.-A special to
the Herald from Augusta says: Blaine
/ regards the official count Of New
York as practically settling the pres
| idential question. Blaine it is stated
on the best authority, received this AZ
ternOOn a telegram from New York
announcing the completion Of the OH
cial canvass of that city, and informing
him that the plurality for Cleveland
/ in that state would be l,l37. The
same authority states that Blaine ae-
cepts the result very oheerfully and
has no regrets growing out Of his con-
nection with the campaign. He feels
that he made q good fight and he
gracefully bows to the verdict Of the
American people. He believes the
Republican party will prove true to its
grand past and will increase in
strength with the coming year. He
expects that in 1888 II will again be
called back into power. Blaine leaves
for Washington the middle Of next
week where he and his family win
spend the winter. He has leased the
Sargeant house In Farragut square
and will resume his work on the sec.
ond volume of Twenty Years In
Congress" The volume will be ready
by June next for publication.

JOE. BARLOW, an eccentric Phila-
delphiRn, was shaved last week be-
cause he was confident that Cleveland
had been elected. Twenty-fOur years
ago Joe was stumping for Stephen A.
Douglas, and his face was covered
with a weeks growth Of beard, when
at one Of his meetings an urchin an
swered his satire by crying out. ''Go
get q shave" "Get q shave" =? said Joe.
mo, sir: not till Democrat Is elected
President" JOe's beard came three
inches below his knees and was very
heavy, and will be hard to replace in
case he finds himself victim Of mis-
placed confidence.
Believing that the special work Of
the w. G. 7. u. to have been Ill
advised, and detrimental 10 our cause,
and believing that the policy Of the 30
called Prohibition Party was one Of
destruction Of others, rather than the
upbuilding Of self, as demonstrated |
by them Ia concentrating their work |
in q state where the Prohibitionists /
have no political prestige, which /
could only result IN gain to the COM
mon political enemy Of our cause,
thereby meFiting distrust as to the |
good faith Of the party and its leaders
and also wishing to record ourselves /
as not being In sympathy with this
act Of the Natl ". &. 7. u, which /
drives from its roll Sf officers our be-
loved sister, Mrs. }. Ellen Foster,
who has done such valiant service for
our cause, therefore-be IL
Resolved That we as q Union enter
our earnest protest against this action
taken by our NATL and State w. @. 7.
o.; and especially condemn the
course taken by John P. st. John, Is
meriting the charge Of being prompt
ed BY mercenRTy and vindictive mo-
tives, which must ever bring preiu-
dice upon the cause which lies 50
near our common heart.
Resolved. That . copy Of these res
oluti0ns be sent 20 our Natl w. G. T.
o., State W. G. T. U, Mrs J. Ellen
Foster, Of Iowa. and ]. P. st. John.
