As many..of our readers have evinced
a desire to know who are the Commls-
sioners of Election in this county, we
publish i'll this issue-free of charge
the complete list. It's a great pity this
rich county cannot afford to give the
people such information in a proper
way and pay reasonable price for
the work done.
Last Sunday afternoon heavy rain
proved to be the ''clearing-otf shower
of mighty long spell of disagreed
BILE weather, and the weather since
has been simply perfect. Everybody
enjoys the change, of course, but the
farmers are especially glad that they
can finish seeing their wheat and at
tend to their corn.
A Young lady living in Shepherds
town, where husbands are scarce,
made bet with young man the
other day which may be considered
safe Being for Harrison and mat
rimony she put it thus: IF Harrison
is elected l win, and you are to marry
me: if Cleveland is elected you win,
and III marry you" She wanted a
dead certainty.
Chairman Quay and Fat-fryer Eos
ter sent some of their begging circu-
lars TO b. +. Harrison, Esq, this week,
asking him to distribute them and
see that subscriptions were made llb-
orally. We rather think they are
barking up the wrong tree when they
seek for help from the energetic and
enthusiastic president OF our Cleve-
land and Thurman Club.

The other night two well-known Re
publicans of Shepherdstown held a
meeting at the house of a colored
brother. The first speaker, who Is
making a great reputation as an ora
tor, made speech of half an hour 5
length. The other missionary made
an argument somewhat shorter, but
very convincing. This is what he
said: Il was born a Republican, L
have lived a Republican, and expect
to die a Republican" Then he sat
down amid great applause.
Those who claim to know say that
| the coming winter will set III early
and will be a long and severe one.
They base their opinion on the fact
that when grapes, persimmons, acorns
and other mast and nuts are album
dant a long winter always follows.
Another sign is that the rag weed
has attained an unusual height and
the seeds upon it Will be thus above
the snow depth for birds. Our readers
can test the correctness OF the signs
enumerated if they so desire. At all
events lay by plenty of wood, coal and
| the necessaries of life.
