AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.

An important election takes place next
Tuesday. The two tickets, Republican
and Democratic, are put before the peo-
pie. The Republicans appeal to reason,
to experience, to the judgment of the
people. The Democrats depend on party
to carry them through. The leading pol
iticians of the State have been called here
to waken up the party spirit POLITICIANS
are working with might and main :; a
Democratic sheet is to be published red
hot on the eve of the election. The Re-
publicans rely not on party, but upon the
people; they have strong men against
whom nothing can be said. Voters of
Berkeley, think and act for yourselves
where are the good times, the high wag-
es and the plentitude of work promised ?
Where is the reformp In State matters,
taxation is higher instead of lower the
State is deeper in debt; the assessment
laws are unequal and unconstitutionally
enforced work is scarce wages low
money hard to get; wheat lower than for
years corn % cents a bushel; were
things ever worse in your recollection
Wilson was in Congress going on three
terms what did he ever do for you he
voted against the people every time )
against a tariff on wheat, wool, iron,
lumber, coal, &c. against your dairy
interests against your educational inter
ests !; try FLICK you know him, "a plain,

knows your wants and he will attend to
them. Try GETzENDANNER he is plain,
practical farmer, but he is opposed to
monopoly you will never regret it.

Horace's Gap.--Jefferson Co.

About noon on Thursday last, our
community was startled by the cry
of " fire." 1t was soon ascertained
that the farm buildings of Mr.. VIM
Karicofe, near Leetown, were on fire,
and almost everybody who could dc
so, fastened to try to stay their pro-
gress. Mr.. K. was absent from home,
and Mrs. X. tainted from the fright,
and had to be carried to the house OF
Mr.. Wise, near by. The wind was
blowing freely, and the fire spread
rapidly from one building to another
and soon destroyed all the farm build
ings, including the stables, two corn.
houses, granary, carriage-house, black
smith-shop, Toulouse, and hog.

hay, lot ofstraw, 80 bushels of wheat
and nearly all his farming nipple.
ments, were entirely consumed. The
loss will aggregate near $4,000. Nc

started from fire dropped from col
ored woman's pipe while she was
getting cobs for the fire, at pile o.
cobs near one of the courthouse. BY
the exertions of those present the fire
was kept from the dwelling. The
boys from the " Gridiron Academy
did good service at the fire.
The p-Otracted meeting at the M. E
Church, South, at LeetoWn, has beer
well attended, and number of con
versions have been reported. The
citizens of this vicinity seem greatly
interested in the meeting, and some
of them are present at every service.
Rev. Mr.. Eubanks will hold reviva
services at Mt. Zion Baptist Church
during next week.
Several persons from this locality
propose to attend the Sunday School
picnic at Vanclevesville next Satur
day. In our humble opinion, the
weather is rather too cool for picnic

gentlemen their overcoats

Reports from every county in
this district are most favorable to
Mr.. Flick's election. In his joint
speeches with Mr.. Wilson he made
the best impressions upon the minds
of the people by argument and the
production of indisputable facts. AS
a last resort, especially in jefferson
the war issues are raised in vain
effort to work up prejudice against
Mr.. Flick, but the "Flick Amend
ment" shows where he stood in re-
gard to the rights of the people. The
colored people are appealed to by
falsehood and Misrepresentation
yet every man in this end of the
State knows Mr.. Flickis liberal char
acter, personally and publicly. Let
no one be deceived, but give Mr.
Flick your vote and you'll never re.
great it. This is his home he lives
here, comparatively a poor man. He
is worthy of your support and every
citizen will have in him strong ad.
vocate and a creditable representa-.
tive.

of Anna Augusta Roth. who departed

age. She was Il victim of that dread
ed disease, consumption, yet she bore
her sufferings with the patient forth
tude that onlya Christian can feel and
exercise. She was member of the

a loving sister, and a devoted friend

in the bloom of womanhood. We
believe that when the final summons
came Gussie was ready to give
the cares and anxieties of this life
for the better world beyond. ,Tis
beautiful to live life, and die a death
like this. We extend our sympathies
to the bereaved and almost broken
hearted mother who has been called
to give up three of her loved ones
within year, also to all the sorrow
stricken relatives. We placed her
body in Greenhill where flowers
bloom, and where birds sing. feeling
that it was the will of"Him that doeth
all things WELL" The floral designs
were numerous and beautiful.

Every tobacco dealer in the S

Every tobacco dealer in the State
ought to vote next month in way
that would serve as rebuke to the
Democratic party which put a three
dollar tax on the dealers in tobacco
and then provided that the assessor
should get one dollar fee and the
county clerk eighty-five cents more ,
The law was dirty job manipulated
in the interests of office holders.
Here in Wood county the sheriff
gets two per cent. for collecting
taxes. He does all the work in col
Letting these licenses and gets six
cents therefore !! And the assessor
and clerk get Sl.S5. In other words
the State gets 81 "a only out of the
S4.S5 tax. Is there tobacco dealer
who doesn't know that this is an
outrage? The tax was not levied
to benefit the State for, if it had
been, nearly one-half Of it would not
go to line the pocket of office
holders. Great is Democratic State
Government! Isn't it about time
for a change = State Journal.

When our farmers understand the
fact that India this year will pro-
duce three hundred thousand bush
els of wheat; that labor is about Z
cents per day in that country and
that bushel of wheat can be sold
at 2 cents at a profit, and that a
bushel of Indian wheat can be laid
down in New York for so cents,
they will appreciate the 20 cents per
bushel protection which our tariff
establishes. The wheatproduction OF
India is increasing yearly. 1t will
be nearly twice as large this year as
it was last year, and in view of the
fact that trade is governed by the
price, it forces the conclusion that
the product of this country hardly
command at any time in the future
more than dollar a bushel. Take
off the tariff, as the Democratic re-
formers propose, or reduce it twenty
per cent. as the Morrison bill OF a
year ago proposed, and our market
for wheat would be reduced in the
same ratio. We have India almost
at our doors. Railroads are being
projected in that country, to facili-
tate and cheaper transportation
and as the cost of carriage is re.
duced, it TO that degree imperlls the
wheat growing industry Of this
country. If the farmers want cheap
wheat the way to get it is to elect a
FREE TRADER or rerenue reformer
to Congress.
FLICK is on the side of the
farmers Wilson against them

1t is perfectly consistent for the
Democrats to oppose National aid
to popular education, on the basis OF
illiteracy. That party, in Virginia,
refused to accept the States share
of the sale of public lands, before the
war, vile all the Northern and
Western States did, and by that
means built up splendid system of
public education. Virginia's share
was left in the public treasury, and
doubtless constituted part of the
fund to equip the armies which
overcame the South, as was suggest
ed to us by an old time Democrat,
who confesses to the folly of his
party then and now on the ques-
ton. The people are asked again
to endorse this foolish idea, and re
fuse to accept s5,0OO,OOO, to aid in
the education of the illiterate of the
State, to crafty refining senti-
ment that has no justification in the
practical needs or the welfare of the

suicide by scandal-mongerS. She is
not the first unfortunate. a scandal.
monger is the meanest of mean

directed against poor defenceless
girl, it becomes a crime for which
the laws provide no adequate pun
