SPRIN FIELD, w. VA.-June 10
1SS9.-Tbe flood used some of
our South Branch farmers pretty
badly. We haven't heard of a farm
along the river that was not
more or Iers washed, and most of
the corn and wheat badly damag.
ed. 1t ls thought the wheat will
make about half of a crop VIM.
N. Guthrie, George Williamson
and George Mcfarland were run
out of house and home b. the an.
cry waves and all lost quite heav.
lily aside from their farming in.
terests. The water was up in
Mr.. Guthrie's store TO the third
shelf-wetting everything as far
as il went-besides wetting one
hundred sacks of salt, and damag-
ing about ten tons of fertilizer.
Mr. Joseph f. Parker lost a por.
ton Of his saw mill and Mr.. @. M.
MiIIeson had several hundred
bushels of grain swamped i'm his
mill. The water was rot as high
in the South Branch as in IT bv
two feyt-but the North Branch
was higher. Rev. f. II. Griffith
and Hugh Simpson were. in Johns.
town. last week, looking after the
Iatter's daughter and family. whom
they found alive-lhey having
reached the hills before the water
caught them Mr. Griffith lectures
on bis trip here Wednesday night
and in Romney Friday night.
The new Episcopal church at
Levels will be dedicated Cd. W
Thursday ofthis week instead of TO
day, as was previously announced.
Yesterday was 'Children's Day
IN Frankfort. We hear that the
programme was good, the church
handsomely decorated and the oc
casion very much enjoyed by all
present. TIE singing was excep.
tionally good.
Owing to the sigh water the
Presiding Elder and stewards
could not get here aud quarterly
meeting was no; held on the 25th
and Goth ult.
Our people seemed lost without
the lNTELLIG ENCKR-which we did
not receive last week.
We are now clrrying our mail
from Green Spring on n horse once
a day. About twenty men are

Editor Boyd. g Personal Attack on
DR.. Hugh Wallace and his
Gross Misrepresenta-
tion of the Facts.

The Kansas City Times brought the news that
DR.. Hugh Wallace, of PhiIliPsbuFg. had been APP
pointed Pension Examiner Of Phillips county
As soon as the fact became known an indignation
meeting was held by large aumber Of old sold
iers, who denounced the appointment IN the
FOundest terms. The appointment of Wallace is
an indication OF the power that q few political
tFiCksteFs have over the masses OF old soldiers
and trates mere f0rCibIy than ever that the
hue and cry Ofthe love for old soldiers before cleo
ton is q sham and fraud only good for political
purposes, and as soon as election is over the OLD
soldier be I'D and Few politicians money
sharks, etc, step out ana take charge OF me au-
ministFatiOn of pension matters and IN fact tuEn

Ieve viii do jus tice to them and lift the pension
sfIice out Of the hands of political shysters--Lo
gan Freemen.
The above from the Logan Free
man would seem to indicate that Bro.
Boyd has had another one of his
''rabid spells" We had hoped that
he was cured. but it seems he IS not.
Our neighbOr, it would appear, can
hardly discuss question on its merits
but must resort to Incorporate eX-
pressiOns, Misrepresentation and
profanity. His charge against DR..
Wallace is not true, neither has there
been any meeting IN Philips county
of old soldiers to denOunce Wallace.
DR.. Hugh Wallace was q brave union
soldier himself, is a member of the q.
A R., is an enthusiastic friend Of the
old soldiers, and it is greatly to MIR.
BOyd's discredit that he will allow a
personal dislike for Wallace, growing
out Of politics, to cause him to throw
mud at Wallace as he did in the par
agraph above quoted, and to set afOat
a false report that ''the old soldiers
held an indignation meeting, de
nOunced Wallace and were going to
send a protest to Tanner" Mr.. Boyd
and a few of his political friends viii
probably protest but they are very
few. DR.. WalIaces appointment gives
general satisfaction, among members
of the g. A. r. in which order he is
in good standing while we are in
formed that Editor Boyd himself Is
not in good standing in the order,

J.B. Wellington, travelling sales
man, was made to bite the dust last
Tuesday at Clay Center, Kansas. The
murderer was DR.. Stewart, a promi-
nent citizen of that place. Yelling
ton had caused trouble and separa-
ton between DR.. Stewards married
daughter and her husband, which fl
nally eliminated in the above tragedy.
At the COroner's investigation YER
dict was rendered to the effect that
the homicide was justifable, having
been committed In defense of his own
life and the protection of his family.

Der that some time ago, one q. Rollin
Camp, purporting to be the publish
er of "Ibe Western Advocate, or
Camps Emigrant Guide" came to
this town and succeeded in getting
quite an extensive list of subscribers
for his paper. This list was guaran-
teed him by the Board of Trade of
this city, partially in consideration Of
a ''write up" which he agreed to give
us. After the lapse OF many days
a copy of this paper came duly to
hand, and it contained the aforesaid
write up" Since that time it has
failed to put in an appearance, and
we supposed that it had gone the way
of all the world and sunk into Obliv-
ion. But, behold, it again makes its
appearance, this time hailing from
Omaha, Nebraska, to which place it
removed from Topeka, Kansas. While
Camp was working up his financial
interests in this state, Kansas was a
great and glorious commonwealth;
but since he has removed to Nebraska
the western portion of our state, in
his eyes, has become a parched desert.
at least we would conclude that such
IS his opinion, Judging from an arti-
Gle in the March, 1883, number of his
paper which he clipped from the
Omaha Bee entitled: ga Crisis in
Western Kansas" What Camps OBJ
ject was in publishing such glazing
misrepresentation and falsehoods re-
garding our state, we cannot con
ceive, unless it be to toady to the peo-
pie Of Nebraska from whom he is now
trying to exc out an existence In the
way of bleeding" them for write
ups" The Omaha Bee should have
more of a regard for the eternal fit
ness OF things than to compare the
fertile fields of western Kansas with
the wind swept and sand girdled
plains of western Nebraska. The
people of Nebraska should be careful
how they hug to their bosoms this G.
RolIin Camp, together with his Vest
erls AdCOcGte,' - for they may be thaw-

bleached plains of Nebraska, and
