Joe Yew is the happiest man in the

of the Democrats that anyone could wish

if a prominent Democrat did say on the

energy.
Our Republican boys burnt coal oil
barrel on last Fridy night in honor of the

place. Occasionally you could hear kids
and girls yelling for the Hon. Charlie

to call on Charlie.
The Progressive Brethren held their
communion services on last Saturday
night at the new church here. There was
quite a large crowd present. We are
sorry to say that some Of our young people
could not act as if they were civilized, as
they kept up a continual talking and
laughing, much moro than if they had
been to a concert.
If you want to see blue town, you
should Just take peep at Maurertown.
Our good Demys were 80 dead certain
that poor old Grover would be the Presi'
dent for the next four years, but alas
they were mistaken. Why some Of our
young ladies said they would be ashamed
TO come ont Of doors If the grand old
party won. They have been staying in
pretty close. We understand some OF the
elder ladies did actually cry over Growers
funeral. Uncle Noah is about the bright
est Of all. But the fellow who wore the
Cleveland hat certainly feels bad-he
didn't wear it on Sunday last. We pity
him, but persons should never be so sure
and crow too loud before an election. we
extend our smypathies to all the mourn
ers. and we open wide our arms to re-
ceive them for next November when
Virginia will throw off her irons and once
more show herself free from Bourbonsm.
