speak here October 18th.
THE ST. Clair Hotel has received
handsome new omnibus, and it will
be put in service by Mr.. Ramer rs
soon as the new trunk cart, which is
being built, is constructed.
THERE will be joint discussion
soon between Hunter Austin and
Comical Jim, at the democratic club
room. Officer O'Neal will please not
interfere.
THE democratic parade last night
was not so large as the former, only
about 800 persons being in line, but
was orderly to better degree. SEN
ators Blackburn and Kenna spoke
from the stand in the public square.
Miss Bessie Crisman took the first
premium on her painting at Morgan's
Grove Exhibition. This speaks very
highly for her tact and genius, as
we'll as the thoroughness ofthe teach
ing of the Sisters.
THE small boy of Martinsburg
hates high protection more than any
body else, when it is represented by
a fifteen foot fence around base
ball ground. Bus the management
and players know what an advantage
it is.
Mr.. CHARLEY PITzER, who was hurt
in the game at Waynesboro: is about
again, but in i'll health. He will not
play behind the bat any more this sea-
son. The ball season is almost over,
and in this respect, our club is fortu-
nate, as Pitzer would weaken the team
considerably.
at is hard to keep up with all the
Democratic speeches made weekly in
the county. They are of almost
nightly occurrence, and are doing
excellent service in stirring up the
spirit of Democracy in the country
districts. "-Statesnan.
1t is harder to keep up with the
voters driven away from the Demo-
cratic ranks by these speeches. Just
keep it up, and the "spirlt" may con-
tinue willing, but the "fesh" will be
confoundedly weak.

A Tribute Of Respect.
The Minister'S Association of Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, desires to express
the unfeigned sorrow with which they
part with their beloved friend and
brother, Rev. r.. G. Holland, pastor
of the st. Johns Lutheran Church
of this city. For seven years he has
been a member of this Association,
and for much the greater portion of
that time, it's honored and active
President. We recall with extreme
pleasure and with feelings of deep
tenderness, the many hours of sweet
counsel we have enjoyed with him,
and We cheerfully accord to his wis
dom and earnest piety very much of
the success of our united efforts for
the furtherance of the gospel in this
our common field of labor.
In presenting this brief testimon-
ial of our feelings and convictions,
we wish to express our sense of the
loss we sustain, in common with the
