IT was the privilege of the local
editor of the INDEPENDENT to enjoy
the hospitality of the good people of
Sir Johns Run on last Saturday
evening. A more hospitable and
honest set of citizens cannot be found
within the State. They cannot show
too much kindness and attention to
the stranger within their midst. We
met Allen Mendenhall, ESQ.,, the
popular, stalwart and steady candi-
date on the Republican county tick
ct for sheriff of Morgan county. He
is true goods, all wool and yard
wide. His kind wife spreads hand
some and palatable repast, and al
though Democrat, is proud of her
energetic husbands nomination. We
also aaet genial Mr.. L. III. B. Duck
wall, the Republican nominee for
Prosecuting Attorney, and found in
him wellinformed, unassuming and
well-meaning young gentleman, free
from vindictiveness and pleasant
and convincing speaker. Then there is
Will Hixon, the pushing and answer
wing young Republican organizer,
who IS chuck-full of the work and al
ways has a kind word for stranger.
We return thanks to all these, (Will
Brady included for the kind treat
ment we received, and declare they
have reason to be proud of the hand
some pole erected by the near the
STATEN on last Saturday afternoon.
Long may its pretty streamer wave,
and long may the principles which
they so dearly cherish, prompt AMI
animate them to action.
A GOLDEN OPPoRTUNITY.-Sev
live and energetic persons, ladies or
gentlemen, are wanted to assist in
canvassing "Aler's History of Mar
tinsburg and Berkeley County, /
find that will be unable to make
thorough canvass of the city, and
therefore desire assistance. The
book is selling rapidly, and will pay
an energetic person well, lady or
gentleman. Will find it paying en-
pioyment. Outfit free. Address
