UNIoNTOWN.

UNIONTOWN.
Mr.. George Frater and wife have re
turned home after a pleasant tOul
through some of the Western States
They had an enjoyable visit with rela.
tives and friends. They received a
hearty welcome home, as they are the
kind of people who are missed when alb
sent.
Mr.. David Davis, Sr., came out on
election day and cast his vote for Harri-
son and Morton. Mr.. Davis, on his own
statement, is 102 years old, and has al
ways cast his ballot for the cause OF
truth and justice.
MessrS. Ring 81 Shuler, feather reno
vators, have removed their business to
Washington, Ohio. They were enter
prising, square dealing men, who left
with the good will of all their patrons.
Mr.. George Mcdaniel Gate with Ring
& Shuler,) has associated himself with
Mr.. George Barnes, of this place. They
have procured a new renovatOr, and
will continue the business of renovating
in the Mills house, on church street.
Mr.. Mcdaniel is well known in this To-
cality, as is also Mr.. Barnes, and their
business character is such as will secure
the patronage of the un-renovated por-
ton of this community.
A Mr.. Anderson, closely followed by
Mr. Robert Mcfarland, came over from
New Athens on the run, Tuesday of last
week. They had put their horses to
their utmost speed almost all the way,
and the animals were pretty badly used
up. As far as we can learn, Mr.. A,
who resides in this township, but has
his washing done in Harrison county,
presented himself at the polls at New
Athens, honestly believing and testify
ing that that township was his home.
His vote was challenged, and after being
sworn, it was rejected by the Judges.
He then procured horse and started
for this place, and was followed, and his
vote challenged by Mr.. Mcfarland. If
he had gained a residence in the State,
he no doubt had right to vote either
at New Athens or Uniontown. The
matter caused considerable excitement,
and diversity of opinion existed con-
cerning the matter.
Mr.. Thomas Watkins has rented, and
now occupies, the premises vacated by
Mr.. Shuler.
Mrs. Jane Pierce, of Harrison county,
sister of Mrs. VIM. Lee, of st. ClairSville,
died from the effects of malignant can
Ger, at her home, near Cadiz, and her
funeral took place on Saturday of last
week.
Twins were born to Mr.. and Mrs. A.
A. Moore, few days since, one of them
living but short time. This is the
second set of twins that have come into
their family, but one surviving in each
instance.
The rumOr that our barber, Mr.. Ford,
is charging 25 cents for shaving Demo
Gratis, is, we are pleased to say, without
foundation. Their faces are much longer
than those of Republicans,b but he scrapes
them for the same amount of national
currency.
Rev. Hugh Thompson, D. D., preach
ed most excellent and eloquent ser
mon from the U. p. pulpit on Sabbath
last, and also made some impressive re-
marks concerning his former association
and connection with the Uniontown
congregation many years ago. Sacra-
ment of the Supper will be dispensed
on the coming Sabbath.
Communion services at Crab Apple

That irrepresSible and enterprising
G.. NJ. McConaughy, known to very
many readers of this paper, is now loca-
ted at Shreveport, La, as Superintend-
ent of the Gas Co. and Electric Light
plant. George goes up and down in
the world, taking hold with his hands and
noise with his mouth. When
G. NJ. NJ. can't talk he's dead. H.
THE Philadelphia Times, an independ-
ent Democratic paper, which supported
Mr.. Cleveland, pays this high and just
tribute to General Harrison:
Of General Harrison this journal has
often spoken and always in the terms of
respect that his public and private char
acter and attainments so well merit. He
is blameless citizen; gallant soldier;
an able an cultured gentleman; an ex-
perienced statesman, and he will bring
to the highest civil trust of the world
unstained integrity. If he shall prove
as courageous in action as he is honest
in purpose, he will make a most success
ful administration; if he fullills the
hopes of the spoilsmen and the horde
of plunderers who supported him be-
cause they hated Cleveland for his hon
esty,, it would be better, far better, for
his fame and his happiness, both in office
and when the charms of authority shall
have perished, that he was vanquiShed
instead of victor to-day. He is now the
chosen President of the whole people,
and he is entitled to their generous sup
port in all his public acts which shall be
worthy of cOmmendatiOn, and of reluc-
tant censure for the inevitable errors of |
all political rule. The Judgment of the
nation has been pronounced in his fav-
or, and if he is worthy Of his exception |
Il honor and trust he will now eeass to |
De the ruler of party and become the |
ruler of sixty millions Of the noblest
people of the earth.
