The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1886-09-14

held at Marietta, Wednesday, Sep
tember, 20.
We gave an account last week
of mammoth grape vine owned by
Mr.. Egger of near this place. Mr..
j. Massie writes us that he has a
vine which is rival Of that OF Mr..
Egger's, being thirty three years, old,
and having five branches, the longest
of which is sixty-nine feet, and the
shortest thirty-six. All of the five
branches have length of over two
hundred and thirty-two feet.
Last week we received $3.50 on
subscription to the SpiRir from S.
A. Graham, of Audubon, Iowa, who
has been subscriber for over 81
Years.
Mr. Graham says he is as Demo
cratic as ever, and is in hopes that
Iowa will elect a Democratic Cover
nor this fail. He says Protection
and Railroad Monopoly have doom
cd the G. O. z. We say good for
Iowa, if we can't have Democratic
Governor we like to see other States
coming to the 'front.' aF
Rev. II. d. Stauffer, of the M.
L. Church, of this place, preached
his farewell sermon on last Sunday
might. The discourse was an able
effort, and did not diminish the rep
utation Mr.. Stauffer has acquired
while here. The text mas from Acts
Nth, and a part of the With. verse,
and read, Lord what wilt thou
have me to do" This being the
third year of his ministry here, it is
not likely that the Conference he
will attend this week will return
him here. We regret such is the
case, as Mr.. Stauffer, by his earnest
ness, sincerity, and genuine worth,
has obtained a place in the affections
of the people of Woodsfeld. We
trust that his lot may be cast among
an appreciative people, and We cor
daily tender him the warmest re-
CARDS and fondest hopes for the well
fare of himself and family.
