-Ic1rerson Republicans Nominate.

For wears. out of mind, no county ticket
has been placed in the field. Not to do it,
ALWAYS seemed to US to be weakness on the
part of the Republicans for if they are
right, and there is only handful OF them,
they ought to boldly defend that right,
though the world oppose them. Had this
been done regularly, there is no telling what
gains and concessions the past might have
brought
However. be this as it may, there is one
thing. concerning which we wish to speak
and that is-why were not some colored
men placed in the field Every body knows
that there is not ghost of a show of elect
ing any of the parties nominated. Now,
this being obvious to the nominees and the
power that nominated them, would 1t have
been wrong to have divided the empty honor
among the colored brethren; tor whom
they 'fought, bled and died to free?" Evil
IDENTIFY, the purpose of this nomination Is
to bring out the full colored vote. Could 1t
not have been done fifty per cent more
efIectually by running colored men, many
of whom Jefferson boasts?
When we realize the fact that there are
nearly t,celce hundred colored voters in JET
ferson county, and less than two hundred
,chites, and that those colored people are
capable in every respect to dignity our leg,
islative halls, many of them graduates OF
Storer College, to say the least and to be
mild in doing it, it is an insult, and every
colored man should so consider it, and unless
an immediate change is made, denounce it,
by voting for Golf, Harrison and Morton,
to their entire exclusion. We venture the
assertion that had Profs. Bracket and Ames
been there, the colored man would have
been recognized.-Pioneer Press.
The foregoing is from the organ of the
colored people, published at Martinsburg-
a paper that is essentially Republican, but
whose editor champions the interests of the
colored race, as he understands them, re-
gardless of party. He resents with some
emphasis the failure to recognize the colored
man.

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Ely,
near Wheatland, was the scene Of a delightful
entertainment, on Monday evening last, given
in honor Of the birthday of their youngest
daughter, Miss Carroll The company, COM
posed of young ladies and gentlemen OF the
Wheatlqnd neighborhood, and guests from
Charlestown and other sections, was lively and
genial. and nothing was wanting to complete
the pleasures of the occasion. An agreeable
feature of the evening consisted Of several re-
citations by Miss Blanche March Of Middle
town, yirginia.-admirably rendered, and E.
Hciting much applause. Several Of the young
ladies contributed instrumental and vocal mu-
sic. adding greatly to the enjoyment of those
present. The fair recipient Of the evenings
honors and central figure Of the assemblage
was the subject of sincere congratulations, and
displayed numerous beautiful and valuable
gifs-testimonials of the regard Of her friends.
As the evening wore on the visitors were lnyl-
ted into the supper room where a superb en-
tertainment was prepared for their refresh
ment, and was fully appreciated. The clear
sky and warm atmosphere of the early eve
ming were most favorable for the occasion, but
the showers ofrain' and pitchy blackness which
ensued later in the night enriched by contrast
the memory of the brightness of the evening
they had spent to the scattering guests. The
cordial hospitality of the hosts was not con-
fined to the hours Of festiyity, and the shelter
Of their charming home against the gloom OF
the night was freely offered.

chants beside US. But, at the same time, we
think that it is not every one that does bust
ness as we do. We are First, Last and All the

the people. We have confidence in them, and
we believe that they believe in us. That's fra
ternal friendship. Furthermore we don't do a
policy business. We don't smile at one person

there is a difference in their pocket books.

us as the rich mans hundred cents. We are

FOUND AT LAST.-A positive preventive
of Cholera in hogs and fowls, and a cure, il
used in time. The Great Western Cholera
Cure is the remedy. Used successfully for
years in the West. Introduced East now,
for the first time.
Lone Jack Tobacco Is known throughout
the world, and so is its distinguished invent
or and proprietor, John w. Carroll, Esq.
See what he says:
For some months past l have been using
the Great Western Cholera Cure to prevent
Cholera in my hogs and with the most sat
istactory results. While others in the Vi
cinity OF my plantation have been troubled
with this terrible Scourge, my hogs have
been entirely free from it, and l believe a
liberal use of this valuable medicine Will
entirely prevent cholera.
Mr. Elias O. Payne, of Adams Bros. x
Payne. says: 81 have very fine chickens
and think a good deal of them. Not long
ago. very much to my regret, the cholera
broke out among them. All were droopy,
Others very sick, and some died, and l
thought / would lose all of them. | was
advised to use the Great Western Cholera
Cure. and did so. The effect was almost
magical. Thcy commenced improving at once.
No more died, and in two or three days
they were all well and thrifty, and not one
has been sick since. You are authorized to
give it my most enthusiastic endorsement
and 1 recommend its use both As a proven
tive and cure of Chicken Cholera"
