Concerning Cards Of Thanks.

There is so much truth and sound
sense in the following item from the
Argus of last week that we publish
it IN full
Many seem to think it necessary to publish
in the newspapers a card thanking neighbOrs
and friends for kindness during sickness or
after death. 1t is the bounden duties of all in
civilized communities to assist neighbors at
such times without hope of fee or reward; to
publish a card of this kind is a reflection on
neighbors, because it is an intimation that it
is an unusual occurrence to give aid and sup
port in such times of need.
We most heartily agree with the
Argus in condemnation of this prac-
tice and sincerely hope the habit will
be done away with. Furthermore, if
parties insist on having these so-called
"cards of thanks" printed, they should
be paid for the same as any other adj
vertisement or business notice. Here
after all cards of thanks sent to this
paper for publication must be accom-
panied by fifty cents which will pay
for inserting the same. They will APP
pear under the head of "Card of
Thanks and not be inserted among
town items.

joan Sullivan as Congressman
This may seem sarcastic, but it is true
all the same, at least so far as John
as concerned. He has announced his
desire to run for Congress on the
Democratic ticket. He perhaps re-
members how successful in that direc-
ton his predecessor Morrisey was,
and thinks this in line with prize
fighting. 1t is to be hoped that he
will first be obliged to serve out his
year in the Mississippi penitentiary,
after which all congressional aspira-
ton will be knocked out " of him by
Republican competitor.

The counting out of General Golf
in West Virginia, now officially pro-
claimed, was by no means unexpected.
1t requires no great gift of foresight
to register in advance the decree of
a Democratic court, whether it be
convened in West Virginia or any
other state. The committee which
has Just determined to declare defeat
ed by fourteen votes in poll of many
thousands, had an unusually difficult
task to perform, and only succeeded
in wiping out his rightful plurality by
resorting to trivial tecnicalities. Next

State Fair Horse Notes.

The State Fair was great success.
The show of cattle, sheep and swine
was large, and the exhibition of
horses and colts has never before been
so good. The speed contests were
more interesting han ever; it was
another great meeting of blooded
horses. Some good sales were made
and some large offers refused. The
best time made was by Dynamite by
Ben Franklin, who won his race. In
The 3-year-old class Hulda B. won
first and Peerless Ben second, both by
Ben Franklin; best time 2:35 1-2.
I'll. H. franklin by Ben Franklin won
the 4year-old race, Conemaugh
Wilkes taking one heat in 2:33 81,
said TO be the best time ever made by

antee stakes were won by Grand Isle

praise from the public and officers of

drove Grand Isle and the other horses
in his charge. His horses showed ex-
cellent fitting and were driven with
skill and judgment. The Free Press
gives him the following well merited
compliment. In speaking of the
2-year-old race it says:
Harry II. is by Wards Lambert, by Daniel

schooling under the care of John Utton, who
drove him in his race here and at Rutland.
Mr.. Utton also drove Grand Isle and landed
him a winner in a seyen-heat race and q hard
fought one as was ever trotted over this
track at that. Mr.. Utton is as reliable a
driver as we have in the State and always
drives race for all il is worth
