Mr.. EDITOR: If mother knows

inquiries about dining room girls.

Not so. You either wish to mis-
represent or not informed. The
campaign opens at Sardis by Gen.
A. j. Warner, the next Congress
man from this District, on Oct. 90.
DO you know him?
by next spring the whole coun-
try will experience a.wholesome bu-
siness boom. Despite the cry of
hard times, good times have really
taken control of the country, and
even Woodsfield feels the effect and
is pricking up her ears. We hear
from every quarter that business is
good. Dealers, with but little effort,
are disposing of more goods than
usual, and the advertising business
man is having a first class BOOM
IF you wish to make investments,
now is the time, while prices are
low, for the time for everything to
advance is sure to come.
Personal Prejudice.
Chas. Hall, Postal Clerk on the
B. & o., was in town last week. Dur
ing his visit here, a certain promi-
nent Republican took occasion to
insultingly speak Of certain Demo
cratic candidates in a way intended
to exasperate Charley. This was
kept up repeatedly with tough per-
sistence unworthy of a gentleman
Charley, as is natural, expressed a
hope that the Democratic candidates
would he successful. The Gazette
man sees fit to consider this as act
i've political work, and proceeds to
make his bi-annual spasmodic fling
at Democracy, by getting off in bad
shape, squib that was intended to
be, Oh, rery sarcastic, but which fell
short of its mark from the fact that
it was sadly deficient in sarcasm.
The Gazette says that Charley g
..actirc political work. is done in the
face of Grover Cleveland's order to
the contrary.
''1ctire political rork" indeed Oh,
Lord. what ignorance. A mans S
sentiments attacked, and when he
defends himself, is branded as an
active political worker Why, bless
you man, being Democrat, it is the
most natural thing in the world fol
Charley to be interested in Democ-
racy; just as it is natural for Re-
publican to be interested in Repub-
Iicanism. And the man who imag-
ines that IA Postal Clerk in defending
himself when insultingly attacked
is engaged in active political work, y
betrays an ignorance that is painful
to behold. And as to "Grovcr Cleye-
lands order to the contrary" why
man alive, there's no such order on
the pages of his honest administra-
