JAMES G. BLAINE and Thomas A.
Hendricks both spent last Sunday in
Wheeling.
THE University Literary Societies
adjourned last Friday evening to
hear Gen. Beaver.
The moon had very respectable
eclipse last Saturday night. 1t was
full, that accounts for it.
A GOOD many people went from
town to the "feet washing" Saturday
night and Sunday near Ross.
lF you want vigorous and intel
ligent execution of your law vote for
Brown for Prosecuting Attorney
ALvA LOCKWOOD is a daisy. She
is making bigger hustle in this
campaign than any other candidate.
SOMEBODY ought to turn "Guvner"
Pierpoint up about 20 years. He is
at least that much behind the times.
Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Whar-
ton, son on the 9Th inst. Congrat-
ulations to our good Democratic
friend.
DRs. GEO. B. MORRIS d A. B. HALL,
Dentists, will be in Morgantown on
the Goth of September and remain
20 days.
MISSES Lucy Johnson and Dora
Dorsey and Messrs. Wygal and Fritz
zell drove over to the Cheat river
region last Saturday, and no doubt
enjoyed the trip more than tongue
Can tell.
THERE will be q monster Singing
School and Picnic at Pisgah church
next Friday, October 10. Good
speakers have been engaged Chas.
Howell will conduct the singing ex-
ercises. Everybody invited.
Mr.. r. f. FAST was taken sudden
ly i'll while attending a meeting at
Sarver's school house on Tuesday
night. He seemed to be attacked
with cholera morbus. Hope "Dick"
is all right again by this time.
The office of the Marshall county
Herald was broken into few nights
since and torn up generally, the forms
were pied and ink smeared over the
aud walls
Of the meanest and most disgraceful
imaginable.
SPENCER w. STURM, fusion candi-
date for State Treasury, is out in a
long letter to the Vest Viyginian.
'Nough said. If Spencer were an
angel (which he isn't quite) that
letter is heavy enough to drag him
down. Let us see, didn't he write
letter once to Romeo Freer?
Mrs. KELLY, the insane woman
who had been confined in the county
Jail for. several weeks, was taken to
the asylum at Weston few days
since by Chas. Merrifeld and Clar-
ence McVicker. Mrs. UT, who was
also confined here, has improved very
much and has been released.
ON Tuesday next let every Demo
crat in the county of Monongalia be
at the polls early. 1t is the duty of
every one Of them as good citizens to
not only vote, but to labor for the
success Of Democratic principles with
all earnestness. Give that day to
your party and for the good of your
State, county and immediate com
mnnity.
EDITOR RICHARDS of the Clarks-
burg Telegram was shot last Satur-
day by Campbell Osborne of that
place. The troubles were entirely
personal and had nothing to do with
political matters. The wound may
prove fatal. Osborne was confined in
Jail. Much sympathy is felt for the
Osborne family, as Richards is con-
sidered bad man.
oohN M. LAWS, Ouc VI Iue cduul-
dates for Prosecuting Attorney, claims
that he will get several hundred re-
publican votes. Many prominent re-
publicans certainly have promised to
give him their support. If these
pledges are made good John j. Brown
will certainly be elected. Davis can
didacy will be boomerang to the
republicans who have been urging
him to run. Serves them right.
ALL men are equal before the law,
or rather should be, but unfortunate
ly those who are charged with exc
cutting our laws do not recognize this
equality, petty offcnses are frequently
punished with needless severity
while the influential law breaker,
whose influence is feared, escapes
well merited punishment. Your only
remedy for this wrong is the selec-
lection Of officers who are SO consci-
entious and independent that they
will do their whole duty and rccog-
nize the rights of the humblest and
fearlessly punish the wrong doing Of
the most influential.
