JOHN LIPPINOOTT, a resident of Bel
mont county since 1915, died at his home
in MorristowD, on Friday, after brief
illness. Deceased was born in West+
morelaDd county, Pa. Sept. 8, 1901. July
p, 1923, he married Miss Charity Cas-
ton, near st. Clairsville. He was one of
the early Republicans of this county,
and we believe was one of the leading
spirits in the first convention of the par
ty in the county. He held the position
of sheriff of the county from 1887 to
1889, defeating John Eaton by 27 ma
jority. He was defeated for the second
term by VIM. P. Simpson. He was a
public-spirited and useful cititizen, and
his influence was always on the right
side. His funeral took place on Sunday,
and was attended by an unusually large
number of people, many coming from
distance. Rev. Robt. Alexander, of the
Presbyterian church, of which deceased
was member for over sixty years, and
elder for over thirty years, conducted
the religious exercises. Interment at
Morristown.

been in progress since the resignation of
S. B. Piper for the postofiee at Barnes
Vile, eliminated by the appointment of
John w. Hingely over exTreas. Ham.
Eaton, who had been considered the de-
cided choice of the Democrats. Hinge
ly's cause was championed by the coal+
oil infiueuce-Papa Payne, assisted by
his brother-in-law, Dan McConville, Au-
ditor of the Postoffice department, while
Eaton relied on the people and General
Warner, who were downed by the coal
oil gang. Hingely, the appointee, is
considered a Mugwump Democrat, chief
ly prominent in the party when he is a
candidate for office, while Eaton has
borne burdens of the party, through
thick and thin. 1t is understood that
onr Col. Charlesworth and the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress, KenDon,
both interested themselves greatly
against Eaton. The end is not yet.

on Monday evening but transacted no
business of Importance for the benefit of
the town. A childish squabble was in
dulged in over the payment of the bill of
expense for conducting the recent elect>

by their body. At first it was determin-
ed to pay none of the bills, but afterwards
an extra clerk. policeman and janitor's
bill was allowed. The facts are, at the
election not single councilman but who
assumed the duties of being judge of the
election, and in so doing, acted in the
capacity of village officials. If these

sible? Here is the vote on payment of
