GREENSBURG, --.OPEQUoN.

Mrs. Ruth Tabler and Mrs. J. III.
Lemaster have returned home from a
pleasant visit to Cumberland.
Miss Eliza j. Miller is visiting rela-
tives in Bedington.
Mr.. Allison Hoger, ofyour city, was
guest in our section Sunday.
AS it had been previously announc-
ed that Rev. G. w. Foltz would or.
ganize Sunday School at Newtown
Schoolhouse last Sunday, quite a
crowd congregated there, at the ap.
pointed time. AS they were mostly
worldly young people, a suitable Sc.
lection of officers could not be made,
and the good work was abandoned.
Mr.. John Hollida has improved the
appearance of the old Gardner proper
ty, at Hard Scrabble, by weather
boarding, new roofing and white
wash.
Mr.. John Price, who has been en-
ployed in Cumberland, has returned
home.
1t is mystery to us why so many
of our boys attend prayermeeting at
Bedington. We are of the opinion
that it isn't prayers which they are
oCOhAnSs IL tiCy WCIC ~ lOu0 vi ouCu
meetings, they would hold them at a
more convenient place. There must
be some other attraction there. Per-
haps it is the meeting, but we are I'M
der the impression that it is the meet
ing Of some of Bedington's fair dam
sells. The attractions are equally so
great in our section for the Bedington
boys. They come here at the same
time our boys are over there. Boys,
what does this mean, are you about
to make trade, then trade fair and
don't cheat.
Not long since some Of our boys
were at place which we will here
call lovers headquarters. They were
just having gay time when some of
the Bedington boys made their APP
pearance, this spoiled their fun at
once, for they hurried away and said
they were going over to prayermeet-
ing; boys, don't get scared before you
are hurt.
Don't forget the election will be
held next Tuesday; let every man
turn out, and give Mr.. Graham large
majority. JOLLY ROVER.

PETERSBURG NEWS.

Some one has asked, "What has be-
come of Petersburg" We shall en-
deavor to answer this puzZling ques-
ton by saying that it is still located
exactly where it always was, viz. five
miles west of Hedgesville and three
miles northwest of Tomahawk. The
people are generally peaceable, quiet
and clever, and make no pretentions
to professionalism. Bro. correspon-
dent it is probable that these profess
SIGNALS reside in the neighborhood OF
Needmore or Silvertown, the places
of which our Oakton friend spoke so
much. We are not professors up
here, neither have we been lost, stray.
ed or stolen, so you need not 60 to the
expense of advertising, as we are all
here. If you do not think this is true
come up and see, and especially on
election day. We thank you kindly
for your generosity in offering to adj
Vertise.
Well, to change the subject, what dc
you think of Mr.. A. M. Graham fol
Co. Supt. Well some one says Mr.
Dodd is my man. We concede that
Mr.. Dodd is fine man. He has re-
vived the Graduating System, but is
not the originator of it as some one
has said. Prof. A. L. Wade, of Nor
gantown, w. Va, instituted this sys
tenn, and Mr.. Dodd has been simply
reviving it, in which he has beer
very successful. Mr.. Dodd has made
us very good Supt., much credit is
due him. We think that Mr.. A. M
Graham will do equally as well; he is
said to be well qualified. and that is
what the teachers want. We do not
mean to say that Mr.. Dodd is not
In voting, we should take a great
many things into consideration. We
should vote for the one who will dc
the most for the advancement of oul
free schools, and it would be we'll fol
us to think how our free schools were
brought about, and the party thatstil
keeps it moving. There is an element
to dav that wo1ld crush il ont of ey
istence if it had the power.
There is also the same element try.
log to cut both ends offan eight month
term, and if it could succeed in clip
ping both ends, it would not be salts
fed until every vestige was removed
Intelligent voters, let us fight this
element to the bitter end. For on a
long school term hangs the greater
part of the poor children's indepen.
dance; it brings them on an equality
with the rich; poor children have
minds just as capable of improve
ment as any others on the globe. We
say this with all kindness and respect
to both Mr.. Graham and Mr.. D0dd
believing they are both school men
Think well and then vote for the
right.
Mrs. Iona Butts, wife of j. S. III
Butts, has been dangerously ill with
pneumonia, but is improving under
the treatment of DR.. G. S. Hanna.
Plenty of rain and hot sun alternate,
which is forcing vegetation rapidly.
Wheat and grass are looking well.
Mr.. Geo. Bennett, from near Han
cock, is visiting friends here.
Mr.. John Shriver, ST., has a very
sick child. We understand that brain
fever is the trouble.
Rev. John Seiber will preach at the
Chapel next Sunday at 3 p. M, after
which he expects to organize an Ok.

To THE VoTERs.-We, the voters
are called upon to meet at the differ
ent places of voting next Tuesday,
and elect by ballot, Superintendent
of Schools and one member of the
Board of~Education in each district
Also "powers to levy" and the ques-
tion of time should be determined on
the same day. AS to the selection Of
members for the Board. we should
endeavor to elect men of dignity, men
of principle, who will not stoop to lit
tie dirty tricks, such as appointing
men for trustees who are not fit for
the position simply to keep some
teacher out or to get another in; men
who who will regard their oaths and
act in accordance with the law direct.
ing them i'm their duties, and appoint
intelligent and discreet persons, re-
gardless of politics, or without con-
sulting as to whom they will appoint
to teach. They should be men that
are not penurious nor yet prodigal.
In regard to the County Superinten-
dent two candidates are before the
people, both are good men. Either
has the ability to fill the Office credi.
tably to the county; but both cannot
hold the same position at the same
time; we, the voters, must decide
which of these two shall have the
position. i have known Mr.. Dodd
ever since he first began to teach and
l know nothing but good of him. !
have known Mr.. Graham for the last
IA years and there is nothing that !
have ever seen or heard dishonorable
about him. AS teacher his reputa-
tion is the best, and his habits and
department are of the highest order.
He has been teaching in our county
for twenty years, and has never asked
for this or any other position. 1t is
true, schools are not simply for the Of
fee for the individual, but where there
is school there is need of teacher,
and where there is an Office there is
need of some one TO fill it. Let us
divide up little. The law contem-
plates change in the Board of Exam
liners every year or it certainly would
not require the appointment of q
Board every year. We are not much
in favor of q second term in any of
flee. We should not shirk duty by
staying uOLiO Oh SiCetloH ut'y, ouU w

come to a decision as to whom they will
support and show that we feel an in
terest in the welfare of our children
and assert our rights and privileges

country. Those whosupport Mr.. Ora
ham will not regret having done so al
the expiration of two years, be he
