Farmers of Berkeley, an exchange

Farmers of Berkeley, an exchange
calls these facts to your mind:
"These facts stick out like the
noses on their faces, right here at
home, that wheat is selling this year
by the bushel at less than it was
worth at any time during the
twenty-five years of Republican
rule, and that wool only advanced
to figure something like living by
the failure of Democratic Congress
to reduce the tariff on it, and that
times generally have been very blue
during Cleveland's entire admins.
tration. No matter how it all
happened, these are the SOLID facts,
and ship.load of reasons can't
upset them. Vote for Flick, Getzen-
danner, Feidt, Bowers, Ropp,
Kitchen.

science tells you that something is

We are glad to hear that the Re.
publican outlook in West Virginia
is unusually promising. A gentle
man of that state, of large political
experience, tells Us that the Demo
Gratis were never more thoroughly
scared than they are now. In the
Second congressional district Mr..
Flick, the Republican candidate, is
making telling canvass. One
probability of the campaign is the
defeat of Senator Camden, and the
indications are that his successor
will be General Golf. -Americaa.

1t is needless to say anything
about our county affairs; every cit
izen of Berkeley knows that we are
in debt that things are not salts
factory; Democrats and Republi-
cans feel it. 1t would be much bet
ter to have both parties represented
on the County Court. B. NJ KITCH-
EN- has knowledge and experience in
county matters; he is a successful
farmer. His election is not a party
question, but is for the best interests
of the county.

furnish the editor of the Pioneer Press with a
certificate relative to a conversation between
himself and Mr.. b. +. Leisenring Said editor
few days after the conversation with Mr..
Leisenring, came to my house and asked me
Tor a certificate, stating at the same time that
ne did not want it for public use. / told him
that had never done any thing of the kind
ana could not afford to be implicated in poll
tics any further than my vote. He stated
that he only wanted to show it to friend of
his and gave me his word and honor that il
should not go any further, and he also declar-
ed upon honor that he would not publish the
certifcate. Taking his word for it gave him
the paper which appeared in his paper. On a
visit prior to this in the presence of myself
ana TWO other gentlemen. he said that he was
going to support Mr.. Flick, but did not want
Mr.. FLICK to know it. Please understand thai
II was on the second visit that | heard his
denial of what he affirmed on his first visit
ana on his third visit gave him the eItiti-
cafe win respect only to his conversation

Another Fire.

About eleven o'clock Friday night
of last week, the cry of fire was again
heard in our town, and the multitude
dressed quickly as possible and hasten
ed to the scene of the conflagration, to
find that the John A. Taft shingle
mill was wrapped in flames. Our
hook and ladder company was soon on
the ground, and while the boys gave
their best endeavors to sage the mill,
their efforts were unavailing, for it was
of light construction and dry as finder
and was consumed by the flames in a
very few moments. The boys how
ever succeeded in saving some shingles
piled near by. The mill has been
owned by Mr.. |. W. Burhans for some
time past and he is the principal looser
his loss amounting to about $4,000,
with no insurance. Mr.. Burhans has
not vet decided whether he will re-
build the mill or not, but the probib-
aIities are that it will be built by him
or some one else.

After the surrender of Yorktown
and the departure of the French,
Washington established his headquar-

house in which he lived is carefully
preserved and shown as an historical
museum.
There Is pleasant story of La Fay
cites atfectionate remembrance of the
life there. Just before his death,
which occurred in 1884, he gave din
ner party in Paris to the American
minister and some friends who had
been old associates. Later in the ev-
ening, when it came time for supper,
the guests were ushered into room
which was in strange contrast with the
elegance of the apartments they had
been in. The ceiling was low, with
large beams crossing it; there was a
single small, uncurtained window, and
several small doors. 1t looked more
like an old-fashioned Dutch kitchen
than room in French house.
A long, rough table WAS meagerly set.
A dish of meat stood on it, some un.
couth-looking pastry, and wine in de-
canters and bottles, ready to be pour
ed out into glasses and camp-mugs.
