Longevity.

Limit Of seventy to eighty years
Tho age to which persons lived varies in
Old Testament chronology.
From Adams time to that Of 0ethuse-
lah and Noah, men are recorded a attain
ing to well nigh the agc Of Lou yeara
The Psalmist Dav d, however. says: The
days Of our age arc threescore years and
ten; and though men be % strong that they
come to fourscore years. yet Is their strength
then but labor and sorrow; so soon passeth
It away. and we are gone"
This wide margin of longevity, together
with proper obsers ance Of mental, moral
snd physical laws. leads investigators to
believe it Ia possible that human life might
be made to increase in length Of days to .
full century, at least
Moderation and regularity IN eating,
drinking and sleeping are conducive to
lorge witty. and these who observe proper
habits and use pure and efficacious reme-
dies when sick, may accomplish immense
labor with no apparent injury to themselves

TnR ARGUS says that VIM. H. Glover, soldier
was the applicant for the postofiice at Terra
Alta-and means 60 leave the impression that he
didn't get II and that some one not q soldier got
IL. II II did not mean that there was no point at
all in its remark OF course, the ANGUS knew
that Burbridge +. Fraley, who was n soldier
longer than Mr. Glover was. was appointed
postmaster nj Terra Alta but tie ARGUS Is so
anxious 20 do Senator Morley an injustice that
II does not hesitate TO make false statement
Does the ANGUS suppose its own readers will
have better opinion OF IT, because II distorts
the truth and miseads them.-[Journal.
The Journal, which has fallen
into the habit of prevaricating about
politics and men, can't understand
how an opponent is likely to err.
The editor of the ARGUS is not
acquainted with Mr.. Fraley and
would't know the gentleman if he
was to meet him and when the
Journal says he purposely made a
false statement to injure Senator
Morley it simply tells an untruth.
We knew nothing about Mr.. Fraley
being u soldier when we wrote the
article. 1t is not necessary for us
to resort to "false statements to
prove that Senators Dawson and
Morley are no friends of the soldier
unless said soldier can render an
equivalent with one hundred per
cent. interest. Take the Kiugwood
postoflice as an illustration of your
love for the soldier. Capt. Joseph
NJ. Goodwin and ID. Y. Morris were
both soldiers. Both were applicants
for the Kingwood postoffice. Who
was their opponent? Was he u
newer of wood or a drawer of water?
Had he really ever cast q vote for
the Republican party before he was
appointed postmaster !? Did Sena-
tor Morley go down to Washington
and labor for the Boys who wore
the blue, or the boy who wore the
dresses during the "late unpleas-
antness - Answer if you can or

HARD CASH. BLOCKS or FIVE AND
COFFEE.

The Glade Farms correspondent
of the Err writes that paper an in
teresting letter from which we ex-
tract the following excerpt
The Brevet Deputy Assistant Harmonizer at
Valley Point worked early and late and mister
ed all therforce and the result was thirtyseven
votes for Squires and that is the strength of the
lIarmonizer element in Pleasant. Coffee was
too high TO be used as ''pcrsuader," as II was
used last November
We can't grasp the magnitude Of
this revelation in the "coffee mark
ct" We were aware of the fact
that we had to fight hard cash,
blocks of five and protection hum
buggery, but had no idea that they
were using "coffee" as a ''persua-
suader." Welt WELT! An idea
strikes us. We have afaint remem-
brance that the Watson men were
lamentlng because they had no mon
ey to run their campaign. They
charged the Cox men with gobbling
up all the money and leaving them
out in the cold, but through the
aforesaid revelation the "Brevet
Deputy Assistant TIarmonizer of
Valley Point" must have solved the
mystery which led them out of their
dilemma, and the weapon used to
knock out their opponents was

I0uRNAL PLEAsE COPY.

Isabella De La Hunt, a soldier
widow, was appointed postmistress
at Cannelton, Indiana, by President
Arthur. In 1886 she was removed
by Cleveland for offensive parti-
sanship." President Harrison, who
was then in the U. S. Senate, got
up on his. hind legs and snorted a
great and mighty snort against
Cleveland because ''she, the widow,
was the only person on earth" who,
according to Senator Ben, "ought
to have the Office" But when SEN
ator Ben became. President the wild
ow De La Hunt again sought the
office, but she didn'tg get it. 1t went

Now as to the Newburg postofiice.
1t was an ungallant act in Senator
Morley to go down to Washington

The ARGUS is inclined to believe
the Era's analysis of the vote to be
the correct one. The Journals
claim that 200 Democrats voted
is preposterous, The Democrats
have but l 400 voters in the county
while the Republicans have 1900.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
there were as many Democrats came
out and voted as Republicans. It's
own figures won't bear the Journal
out in such a reckless assertion.
Take the vote of Tunnelton. We
have power to prove to the entire
satisfaction of the JoarHaTS ''infor-
mant" that there were more Dem
ocrats who remained at home than
Republicans. Indeed, when we
counted the stayed-at-homes there
was almost two to one. We know
it is hard for the Journal to let itself
