zoar Sunday School.

The Sunday School of the U. b.
Church in Christ; as held at Zoar
School House, is in a fourishing as
well as n growing condition. The
Superintendent, S. o. Dunn, has
steered the business of the school, as
we think, to a great advantage, and
alike has excited interest not only in
the school, but in the surrounding
community. We think that if he
continues to steer the boat in the flu
ture as he has in the past, he will have
grand success. We also think that
the officers in general, as far as we
have been able to find out, have been
working with increased energy
They are doing we'll, and we hope
the Superintendent, as we'll as other
officers of the school, will be able to
instiI into the minds of the pupils
such things as will influence them to
come into the church visible, and at
last be brought to their Fathers gar
ner in Heaven. J..T. K.

Some of the Hampshire county
Democrats have become very much
incensed at the action of Collector
McGraw in re-appointing a Republi-
can Deputy Collector in that county.
On the other hand Mr.. McGraw OK
plains to q Wheeling Register rcpor-
ter that it would have been next to
impossible to conduct the business of
the office properly without the aid,
for a short time at least, of some OF
the old deputies. That they arc
guaranteed their positions for any
designated length of time is refuted
by the statement, by Mr.. McGraw,
that one of the deputies who was ten
dercd a rcappointment refused TO ac-
ccpt unless his tenure of office was
guaranteed, and a Democrat was
promptly appointed in his place.
Our Representative in Congress, the
Hon. Vim. L. Wilson, it is stated in
q Washington special, expresses the
opinion that the retention of the Re-
publican officials under McGraw will
be temporary and only long enough
to enable Democratic officials to ac-
quaint themselves thoroughly with
the business of the office. He says
that the Hampshire county Deputy
is certainly Objectionable to the Dem
ocrats of that section, but he is con-
lidcnt that time will remove all cause
for complaint.

ing SIS 5000 for it. The farm contains
152 acres, IS acres of which is in
timber and 25 acres good river bot
tom land, and the price is considered
a low one. The land is well improvd.
Mr.. Joseph L. Cookus has received
from Mr.. G. L. Barnhart, agent for
the Peabody Insurance Company
washington & Alexander, general
agents), the sum of S15O insurance
money OH his stable recently burned.
The payment of this money reflects
credit on the company as we'll as its
agents, for had they been disposed
to take advantage of some technical
error in the policy they could have
resisted payment. They did not do
this, however, but acted with com
mendable fairness and Iiberality.-
No one need be afraid of insnring
with such a company or such agents.
