trial establishment that has improved as
years went by, Notwithstanding the rsvager
of the fire fiend which twice totally destroy.
ed it, is the stove foundry OF ". +. Sharp
L Son, located on Fifth street between
Market and Washington. The wo!ks were
first built in lS4S, and continued to run
successfully until fourteen years ago, When
it was burned down. 1t was rebuilt and
enjoyed another prosperous career until
last December, when again it was leveled
TO the ground A second time it has risen
Phnnix like from the ashes, each time
considerably enlarged. The building last
destroyed was frame structure OF respect
aole proportions, but the owners imme-
diateiy proceeded to erect in Its stead
handsome brick edifce, purchasing more
ground and greatly enlarging it, until now
It is as handsome a mandatory of stoves
as can be found anywhere in the Ohio Val
isy. The time between December and
A pril was occupied in getting the ma in
building up and in the middle Of the lat
ter month operatinns were resumed with
largely increased capacity. In addition

a large store room and tin shop on Market
street, at which everything in their line can
be obtained. Mr.. George Sharp, the active
member Of the firm, is 6 pushing business

The re districtiug Of Ohio and the plac-
ing of Jefferson county in the old Seven
teenth Congressional District, composed OF
Jefferson, Belmont, Harrison, Guernsey
and Noble, has given rise to much specu-
laton in this vicinity as 10 who the csndl'
dates will be before the next Republican
Congressional Convention. In this county
State Senator Coulter and ex-Lieutenant
Governor Richards will lock horns, while
Belmont has Col Poorman, Guernsey Col
TaylSr, Noble, Private Dalzell, while in
Harrison John A. Bingham has returned
from Japan in plenty time to dispute with
ex.State State Senator HolliugsWorth
for the prize. 1t looks as IT the
Convention, when held, will be q lively
ons, much after the style Of the one which
nominated Hon. ]. T. Gpdegraf in 1878
As the Democrats are largely in the pi-
nority they take very little interest in the
matter on their own account, but as they
cannot have Democratic representative
in Congress, thev like to see as good a Re-
publican as possible oceOpg the place.
