A Proposition to Rebuild
the Steam FIGURING
Mill.

In regard to the rebuilding of the
Logan steam Touring mill, we are
Informed that if u switch is fur
nished them from the railroad to
the bank of the canal, opposite the
old mill site, Messrs. Keynes q
Wellman will at once rebuild the
mill on the old site, putting up u
substantial and capacious brick
structure, with all the fastest an d
best apparatus and machinery for
making first class flour.
They will build the mill them
selves, and not ask a dollar of aid.
All they ask is the switch to en-
able them to have shipping facili-
ties.
This proposition in view of their
recent heavy loss is certainly very
reasonable. Enterprising citizens,
of the town and county, have
taken the matter in hand, and
committees have been appointed
to see the railroad company, and
the owners of land in regard to
right of way; and to see the people
of the county for contributions.
Generous offers have been made to
have the mill built at Lancaster,
but wethink Messrs. Keynes& Well
man would prefer to remain at Lo-
gan and do business with their old
acquaintances and friends at this
place, if they meet the encourage
ment their business capabilities de-
serve.
The prospect that their PROPOSE
tion will be accepted by our people,
is very assuring, and we have no
doubt that the switch will be fur
nished, as asked for, and more, too,
if they need it.
If the switch is furnished, the
mill will be built before cold weatk-
er sets in. In this event, farmers
would do well to hold on at present
to their wheat, if they can do so, as
the mill will need all the county
can furnish, and much more, to
keep the business running. The
mill is an industry that we can not
afford to do without, and we hope
that there will be no let up ON the
part of our enterprising people un-
til its rebuilding is entirely assured.

A Correction.

We made a mistake last week in
announcing that little child of
Mr.. Phil. Thompson had been bit
ten by dog, when the facts are
that Mr.. Z. is childless, and Il was
Phil Rochester's little girl that had
been bitten. But because we made
Il mistake in the name, we can see
no good reason why we should be
threatened with 4 SANDER suit by
Ed Davenport, and duel by Chas.
Gould. What have Ed and Charley
to do in the matter anyhow?

Truth and Nonsense.

The Prohibitlonists of Parkers-
burg have nominated a straight
Prohibition City ticket,
No matter which party may sue
coed the Prohibitionists will get
left. Success however, is not 30
much an object as it is to stand up
and be counted, and to defeat some
other party for not surrendering to
them. They want to chasten some
body, even though they secure free
whisky by it, Grafton Eagle.
And now that the election is ov-
er, will the Eagle flop itself aloft
above the truth and nonsense of its
foregoing remarks, and after view
ing the field of carnage, tell US who
has been chastened, and whether
the Prohibitionists have secured
"free whisky" for the coming year ?

Friday evening, pitiful victim of
the saloon, in his maudlin misery
kept interrupting the speaker and
annoying the audience. FINALLY
Mr.. Carter, stopped short and said,
That's all right, my friends. It's
perfectly fair that both sides should
be represented here. I'm speak
ing for my side, and he's speak
ing for his. LIS all right,
its all right. And l hope you gen
tlemen, who belong to his party
wont be ashamed of your represent
tative."
There vas no further disturbance

Mr.. c. G. Coles VindicatiOn.

Mr.. c. G. Cole, now of Washing.
ton, who stands 30 high as a lawyer
and gentleman, in Parkersburg
and in all West Virginia, was re-
Gently indicted with other parties
for conspiracy in extorting securi-
ties from one George Taylor. Upon
trial the facts showed that Mr.. Cole
was guilty of no wrong, but only
did his duty in behalf Of his client,
wisely and faithfully.
The Judge, in directing a verdict
of acquittal, paid a high compli
ment to Mr.. Coles honorable course
in the matter.
Of course Mr.. Coles many friends
here were by no means Uneasy, but
they will be pleased to hear Of his
triumphant vindicasioG.

Lincense, The Pillar Of Intern
perance.

DR.. Humphrey, of Amherst Col
lege, said: "It is plain to me as,
the sun in a clear summer sky,
that the license laws of our country
constitute the main pillars on which
the stupendous Fabric Of Intemper-
ance now rests"
Frey.inghuysen gave utterance
to these words: If men will en-
gage in this destructive traffic
if they will stoop to degrade their
reason, and reap the wages of iniq-
uity-let them no longer have the
law-book as a pillar of support and
quiet conscience by the opiate of
Court llcense."

What bad mix; but we're glad
Wayne G. H. has no saloons 10 add

There is one saloon in West Vir.

We have fewer saloons than any
other State excepting Kansas and
South Carolina.-Er.
And tina. is just one saloon too
many for every S12 inhabitants.
And because about II OF the Sl2
want the saloon, the 800 are SO
careless or cowardly as to let them
have it.

there was less drunkenness in Yves.

Fayette's Licensed Horror.

On last Tuesday night, at Sewell
Station, Fayette. county, Benz
Manning, while intoxicated, made
a murderous attack upon bis wife
with a knife, infiicting a terrible
cash in the right shoulder. He also
stabbed her in the abdomen,
causing frightful wound, allowing
the entrails to Notwithstanding

1t will be recollected that for the
first time for years, the Fayette

commissioners are satisfied with
the above reported fruits of their
new policy of regulating" the
traffic?

Southern Prohibition.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says that the growth of the prohi-

Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
as well as in Georgia. The Atlanta
election seems to have given the
Prohibitionists new energy anas
vigor, and they are buckling on
their armor tor battle. More than.
dozen elections on the question.
are already set, and petitions are be-

contests are more bitter and exait-

The Journal In the Storm.

The Journal seems to have been
somewhat ratified in Saturday e
equinox of the Nor nern blizzard
and the election cyclone.
From its columns we give these
notes from its log book.
"The town was remarkably qui-
ct on Saturday for an election day"
"The scenes at the polls during
the day battle description. Pande.
monium seemed to reign. The
air was thick with tobacco smoke
and whisky fumes"
1.-THE colored vote beat Smith
and elected Chancellor"
"The fight of the day was be.
tween Chas. B. Smith and w. N.
Chan celior, and no more effective
work was ever done at the polls
than was done for w. N. Cbancel-
lor, and his SUCCESS is due to the
faithful work on the part of his
party, the free use of campaign
Doodle in the right place and the
dirty treachery of so-called Repub-
LEANS"
Said a prominent saloonist to
the State Journal "Charlie Smith
has every saloon-keeper against
him. I voted nine Republican
votes against him myself. Nine
votes that would have gone to him
certainly, under any other circum-
stances" This is a pointer for the
high moral candidates who defeat
ed Captain Smith by political
bush-whacking."
We take it from the three last
paragraphs that the editor, in try
ing to make the haven, after the
storm, was signaling for sympathy
in three directions with a different
story of his distress for whatever
friend might take him in.

A Jail Full.

Our new jailer, Mr.. Jones must
be popular hotel keeper from the
number of boarders stopping with
him. He has nine prisoners await
ing the session of the U. S. Court,
and five State prisoners charged
with felony, besides a large compile
ment of city offenders.
If the Jail had been as full as it
should have been last Saturday,
the scenes at the election would
have been less shameful.
