ouR COuNTY TICKET.

We haven't the space this week to
speak at length of the many good quail
tiles of our candidates nominated at
Terra Alta on Saturday last. Suffice
it to say that taken all in all our ticket
in point of ability and character is
equal, if not superior, to the Republi-
can ticket.
For the House of Delegates we have
in Messrs. James Messenger and jon
athan Loar two substantial farmers who,
if elected, would represent this county
in the next Legislature with the strict
est fidelity and interest to their con-
stituency. They know the needs of
the farming element of the country,
the men who pay the bulk of our taxes.
Being honest and capable, they would
deal justly and fairly with all interests.
a. j. Bonafeld, our nominee for
sheriff, is one of the leading merchants
of Preston county, and one Of the best
business men in the State of West Vir-
ginia. What better evidence is needed
that he would make one of the best
sherifs that ever carried the saddle
pockets in PrestonI
James IL. Carroll, Esq, is among
the leading lawyers of our bar; gen.
tleman of large experience and practice
in his profession, and if elected to the
Office of prosecuting attorney would fill
the Office acceptably to all concerned.
The nominees for assessors, Dorsey
II. Foreman and James S. Hunt, are
both gentlemen well known TO the peo-
pie of Preston county. Mr.. Foreman
is an honest and prosperous farmer of
Portland district, and highly esteemed
by his neighbors for his social quail
ties. He would make frst-class as
SCISSOR and one the people would like.
Who don't know Jimmy Hunt, as he is
familiarity calledH He is young man
with a good education and splendid
business qualifications. He has been
the chief clerk Of Shaffer & Bonafeld,
of Tunnelton, for the past eight years,
a position he still holds. If the young
ladies had a vote we know who would
be the next assessor for the western
district.
Col. James w. Brown, the nominee
for county commissioner, is one of our
most intelligent and thrifty farmers
He always takes an active part in every
thing which tends to the betterment
and advancement of our farming inter-
est and development of the county.
He is one of the vicc-presidents of the
Preston Farmers Association. He
would, If elected, labor to make our
county taxes as light as possible, and
would not think of collecting one dol
lar more than was actually necessary.
And who is the Democratic nominee
for county surveyor? Another one of
Preston's good farmers. George s.
Deakins, of Union District A good,
honest and capable man for the posi-
ton. He is a man who has had great
deal of experience in surveying, and
no one doubts his ability to fill the
Office

prices.
Mr.. Joseph Jackson announces
himself candidate for the office Of
clerk of the circuit court, subject to
the decision of the Democratic con-
vention. Mr. Jackson would make q
frst-class clerk He is well and ia.
vorably known throughout this county

Some time since, one VIM. j. Jones
concluded to marry Miss Mary A.
Burns, and we infer from subsequent
events that he arrived at this conclu.
sion without first consulting his in.
tended-kind of pleasant surprise
to her We'll, Mr. Jones got his
licenes. We have waited anxiously
for report of the nuptials, but no
account of brilliant wedding has
appeared. Could it be possible that
Miss Burnes has refused to marry
Mr. Jones after he had gone to so
much trouble ? Base ingratilude
However much we regret to chronicle
it, such is the case. Miss Burns the
high spiaited American maiden got
hold of that licence and returned it to
the clerk with the comment that "One
could buy a license, but it took tsoo
to get married u We extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.

but there are not now the fortunes in
combinations or combination houses that
there we're in the beginning. At first af-
fairs were crudely conducted. Half and
half was the prevailing principle That
is, the manager of the theater and the
manager of the company divided
the receipts equally. But with the
rapid increase Of companies change
was wrought. Discrimination was
made i'll the division, which resulted not
only in difference of percentage but in
finer distinctions The manager of popu-
lar theater, for instance will not book
doubtful attraction except upon guaran-
tee of first money In other words, the
travelling company must assure the resi-
dent manager that his share will reach
certain figure. In cases of first money, the
theater takes, say the first thousand, and
then they share after that. Where the at
traction is in a position to dictate terms
the same rule works the other way.
GAS a result of these distinctions, it is
now almost impossible for a man who es-
tablishes either a new company or new
theater to make money the first season. He
must be in position to lose the first year
or take big chances of going to smash, be-
cause his venture being new, is regarded as
an experiment, and he must risk more
money in securing either eligible dates or
popular attractions than was necesS lry a
few years ago
AS a result of this theatrical revolution
the actor has been badly squeezed. The
manager cannot beat down the landlord
railroad, the scene shifter, or the carpenter.
They care not a fig whether he wants what
they have to offer or not. If he doesn't,
some other man does, SO that when the
manager desires to reduce expenses he
either cuts down the salary of the actor or
refuses to pay it at all. The actor cannot
live without the manager or with him as
general thing. In the distribution of pro-
fits the landlord gets his share first, the les
see second, the railroad third, the mechani
cal help fourth, the manager fifth and the
remainder-God save the marriages. to

to pay it. DAVID WECHsLER.

"A somewhat similar experience was
that of the Windsor theater in New York,
which was the first combination theater on
the east side of town. When they took the

was found necessary to hire gang of la
