The wire on which the Fl arrison

and Morton flag was suspended
across the street from the roof Of
DR.. Kinks drug store to the roof of
Mr.. Ankrim's store broke and let the

the most oysters for the least money.
Mr.. VIM. Singerly's famous three

from Kentucky to this place. She
was valued at So. 500.
Two more children of the Davis
family, near Rock Springs have died
since our last issue, making four
deaths in the family in very short
time, which is severe affection that
calls for the sympathy and assis-
lance of the neighbors and friends of
the family.
Mr.. Warfield who addressed the
democratic meeting on Wednesday
night in three hour speech is an
actor. His changes from grave to gay
and amusing way of presenting his
views held the interest of his aud
fence who appeared as patient at the
close as the beginning.
Both parties look wise, shake their
heads and predict the election is
going to be very close. They don't
know. Wen give you some points
next week that you can rely on.
The way things look at this writing
they have narrowed down to the
point that either Cleveland or Har-
rison will he elected. Nothing more
definite has been ascertained.

ed NORTH East about couple of
weeks ago, and swindled Richard l..
Thomas out of $35 with a forged
check, was caught and put in jail at
Alexandria, Va, for trying the
same game on an old acquaintance
in, that city.
Persons attending the meeting to
day can get oysters in every style at
Hambleton's.
A cotemporary's advice is don't
let party spirit get away with your
judgement. To late. The spirit
has got away with the judgement
long since. The largest roast of the
season was the Harrison and Morton
OK roast at Oxford yesterday. A pit
vas dug in the fair ground where the
OK was roasted whole. Or at least
that was the program. But it won't
beat that steam coffee boiling at the
Sun to day.
The grandest rally Of the cam.
paign has been prepared to take
place to day at Rising Sun. The
untiring Sixth District Harrison and
Morton Club have tagged in no effort
to have one of the most imposing
displays of the series which has been
held here. and propose to make this
concluding act of the political drama
one of the most grandest eyer wit
messed in the sixth. The large
colored posters give the outlines of
the program and the list of able
speakers, and a political display
rivaling some of the historic scenes
of 1910 may be looked for. No per.
SON should miss witnessing the
spectacle who can possibly attend.
