There is considerable complaint
among the farmers as to the condition
of the corn crop. The unusually wet
fall has prevented it from being crib

the stalk has become mouldy and rot

extremely favorable from this time
forward there will be much loss.
A WEDDING IN THE COUNTRY
Last Thursday morning the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Staley, near
Shepherdstown, was the scene of a
quiet but very pretty wedding, Miss
Annie Staley and Mr.. George White
being united in the bonds of matrimo-
ny. The ceremony took place at nine
O'Clock, and Rev. B. F. Bausmann. of
the Reformed Church, officiated. The
attendants were Miss Lucy Staley and
Mr.. Frank McQuilken, Miss Mamie
Byers and Mr.. Philip Needy and Miss
Fanny Needy and Mr.. Harry Staley.
The bride was most becomingly at
/ tired in dress of steel-colored cloth
and plush, and carried lovely bou-
quet of Etoile de Lyon roses. The
parlor was charmingly decorated with
chrysanthemums. After refreshments
had been served the bridal party
drove to Shenandoah Junction, where
Mr.. and Mrs. White took the express
train to Richmond. When they return
they will go to housekeeping near
Billmyer's mill. Their many friends
wish them great happiness and pros
perity.
HENRY WHITE IN TROUBLE
lAGAIN.-Henry White, young col
ored man who last spring served a
term in Jail for stealing Mr.. Baus-
mann's chickens, is again in trouble. 1t
is said that last week he committed
an outrageous assault on little
daughter of Charlotte Turner, color
ed, the child being the young fellows
cousin. The little girl was badly in
jured, so it is reported. Her mother
naturally raised row about the oc-
currence, and sailed into Henry.
They finally began to fight, when the
rascal beat and kicked Charlotte in a
shameful manner. She thereupon
swore out a warrant against him for
assault. Henry disappeared and has
so far evaded arrest, though he has
been hanging around town ever since.

THE WORLD OF PROVIDENCE.

The young emperor of Germany Wis.
tied Italy lately and met the royal per-
sonages OF the Quirinal and the Vat
lean with all the imperial pomp that
kings command. The masses of the
people in all ages and countries have
given the best of their blood and the
most of their substance to keep up
kings and kingdoms in their excess
es and wanton rioting with the rights
and liberties of men. AT the beck
and nod of kingly tyrants tribute
flowed to the royal Golfers like water
to the deep, and lives were sacrificed
by the millions with less resistance
than cattle in the slaughter pen. Yet
kings are supposed to be of divine
origin, and their privileges in supre-
macy only next to the deity! His
tory points to no lasting benefits
that kings have conferred upon HUI
mainly. What little good there
might have been in the best of them
persisted with their day, and left but
greater penalty to follow. The
idolatry ofking worship kept nations
in the bondage of ignorance and SUI
perstition, in poverty and slavery,
that was harder to break than the
darkest idolatry of the land of the
pharoahs. Court vices were the rule;
court virtues we're the exception. All
that was great was leagued together
with all that was powerful. The priv
ileges of kings put them above &C
count. Their crimes and injustlces
we're sacred in the eyes of religion
and law history records but few in
stances of rebuke. Their ingratitude
and that of royalty and nobility in
general, was as great as their power
was unsatisfied, and those who in
dulged them most Jared the worst
The king defended faith that il
might bless his friends aud curse his
enemies, and when it refused thai

the kingdom and increased the roya
revenue. All were subjects anG

The so-called Presidential election
is oyer but there is no President yet
elected. All the people have done
is to choose, by States, the men who
are to elect the President. The vot-
ers in each State have chosen as
many of these electors as that State
has Representatives and Senators
in Congress. The day of the real
Presidential election is yet to come |;
that is, the day on which the electors
chosen in each State will meet in
that States capitol to formally bal
lot for President and Vice President
of the United States. The day on
which this will be done is in January.
These electors chosen have the right
to vote for whomever they shall de-
sire for President or Vice President
the only constitutional limitation
being that the President and Vice
President may not both be citizens
of the same State. But, although
the electors are legally free to vote
for whom they please, they are in
honor bound to vote for the candi-
dates OF the party which elected
them. In earlier days of the Repub-
lie, party nominations were not
made; but as soon as the people
divided into two political camps, the
plan of making party nominations
for the two highest officers was
adopted, and no elector has ever vio-
lated the implied pledge which he
makes in accepting the nomination
for elector to vote for his party's
candidates.

Grant county, w. Va, gave GAO Re-
| publican majority. We congratulate
the Petersburg Gazette on the big
ness of the victory.
r. R.-Work on the new railroad
between here and Martinsburg is
moving steadily along. and the fair
weather now prevailing, enables the
workmen to make good progress.
We learn that little colored girl
on Kent ST., who had been in the
habit of amusing herself by sucking
music out of tea-kettle spout, short
time ago thoughtlessly applied her
mouth to the spout when the ket-
tie contained boiling water, which re-
suited in her mouth and throat being
badly scalded by the steam. A rath-
er strange and dangerous sort of sport,
we should think.
The porkers squeaf
And the turkeys sigh,
The sausage reel.
And the buckwheats fly;
So it's not much worse
To live than die.
DEATH.-Capt. F. F. Oehm, aged
about so years, died suddenly at his
residence on Market St., about a. m.
4 last Saturday. Deceased leaves a
widow and children. Deceased was

of the Union Fire Co., prominent

not get so votes in the county as the
Prohibition candidate for Governor.
ExAGGERATED.-Last Saturday
and Sunday all sorts of rumors were
afoat concerning a difficulty which
had occurred several evenings before
between number of workmen on the
new railroad. 1t was reported that a
man had been murdered that several
colored men had attempted to rob a
paymaster and beat him up so badly
that death resulted; that it was only
a cart-drlver; that 1T was not white
man at all, but negro; and that he
was not dead, but mot expected to live.
After sitting these exaggerated and
conflicting reports, it appears that
three young men were going out to
their shanty when they fell in with
gang of colored fellows. One of the
latter obtained a fiddle or musical In
strument of some kind from one OF
the young men, which was not hand
ed back when asked. A row followed
in which one of the white men named
Hugh Keffer, was knocked down and
right badly beaten, while the other
two ran in time to save themselves.
The injured man is now all right. 1t is
likely John Barleycorn was at the
bottom of the whole affair. A hall

he is the only man who smokes that
brand, so that the boss never buys
but one box at time of that brand.

few of another kind just to tide the
customer over, and that is where the
Italian hand of the cigar man comes in.
That is where we work off what is
known as the stinlIadoras. That man
who just went out got three of a kind,
for which he paid so cents. They are
'nicks' every one of them. What if he
comes back and kicks? Well, if he
does, we just tell him that there are
mean cigars in every box, and that
satisfies him. Of course, we have to be
mighty cautious: but that's not the
point. 1t shows that you can fool the
oldest smoker, just as you can the old

THE LITTLE SHOE.

| found it here-a worn-out shoe
All widowed with time ond wet with dew;
Ills little thing: We would pass it by
With never thought or word, or sigh,
Yet it stirs in my heart hidden we'll,
And i'll eloquent tones of the past doth tell.
1t tells of little fairy child
That bound my heart with magic wild;
OF bright blue eyes and golden hair
That ever shed joy and sunlight here;
Of prattling voice so sweet and clear,
And the tiny feettha were ever near.
1t tells Of hopes that with her had birth,
Deep buried now in the silent earth;
OF heart that had met an answering tone
That again is left alone, alone;
OF days of watching and anxious prayer,
of a night of sorrow and dark despair.
1t tells of a form that is cold and still,
OF a little mound on yonder hill
That is dearer far to mothers heart
Than the classic statues of Grecian art.
All, strangers may pass with a careless air
Nor dream of the hopes that are buried there.
Whose brightest hopes have never been
swept,
Like the pure white cloud from summer
sky,
Like the wreath of mist from mountain high,
Like the rainbow beaming minute here,
Then melting away to its native sphere;
Like rose leaves, loosed by the zephpr's sigh,
Like the zephyr's waiting its perfume by,
Like the wave that kisses some grateful spot,
Then passes away, yet is ne er forgot;
If like these, your life hopes have never fed
You cannot know of the tears ] shed.
Ye cannot know what little thing
From mem'r RVS silent fOunt can bring
The face and form that were once so dear.
Yet there are hearts, were they only here,
That could feel with me, when, all wet with
dew,
