CANTON PRESTON.

Monday was gala day FOR King
wood and one to be remembered
by the Odd Fellows Of this place.
The occasion was the institution of
Canton Preston No. 81 this being
the highest degree in Odd Fellow
ship. The members were busy all
forenoon making preparations for
the event. The Fairmont Division
and the Locust Avenue Eand Of
that place came in on the noon
train, also the company from Row
lesburg. The Mozart Cornet Band
and the members of the Canton here
formed on Price street and march
ed to the depot to meet the visitors.
Tho parade from the depot to the
lodge room was very pretty. Both
bands played and the brilliant uni
forms of the Patriarch's Militant
made fine appearance. At two o
clock the regular parade took place
and was witnessed by a large crowd.
The bands played some fine music
and the long line of glittering
swords, waving plumes and showy
uniforms, made "a very handsome
display. After this the Odd Fell
lows repaired to the lodge room and
the two bands formed into one and
paraded the streets, treating us to
some rare music.
The new Division was duly insti-
tuted with SO members, 20 from
Rowlesburg and 16 from Kingwood.
1t will be known rs Canton Preston
No. 5. The following officers were
elected, G. Y. Bishop Comman-
der, Ad. Laughlin Of Rowlesburg
Lieutenant and j.. w. b. Trowb-
Ensign. The Non Commissioned
officers are j. w. White, Clerk
and G. j. Cresap Accountant.
The Color Bearers have not been
appointed yet. The first business
meeting will take place next Mon
day night. Much credit is due c..
Y. Bishop for his untiring efforts
in working the matter up success
fully. The Fairmont Band is d isy
and our people were well pleased
with the boys.

Editor Dawson OF the Journal
takes great pleasure in poking fun
at Capt. John Carr. 1t proves lust
exactly what the ARGUS. has
claimed all along, that the journal
had no use for an old veteran I'M.
less said veteran will follow the
leadership of Mr.. Dawson. Be
cause Capt. Carr had seen fit to ex f..
ercise his independence and citizen
ship in supporting l.. p. White the
journal heaps abuse upon Capt.
Carr and cndeayors to belittle him
in the estimation of the Republicans
OF Preston County. If we mistake
not the JoURal will have occasion
to regret its attacks upon Capt John
Carr.

Written for the ARorsl
The storm ceased at shutdown,
The ballots took sleep,
The vessel went sailing
Away Ger the deep.
The RAIDS were all smiling
AT morn on the shore,
Their boat, they thought, was an
chored
TO sail with them no more.
Oh F! bright in the sunlight
At morn flashed her sail,
And loud in her canvass
At noon roared the gale.
But the RAIDS began weeping
At evening on the shore.
For their boat was loosing anchor
To come back no more.
And so will you stand wailing,
. RAIDS on the sand,
For your boat that loosed anchor
At morn from the strand,
For great was the lading
That old vessel bore
Trusts, Doodle and Protection.
That will come back no me re.

Among the Democrats who re.
Joiced most over the great victories,
was Squire John s. Murdoch. lie
is an old timer and his Democracy
is as rock-ribbed as the hills of our
little mountain state. Last week
he brought out his Cleveland hat
to wear in honor of the occasion and
1t aggravated the republicans so
that some Of them rotten -egged his
house that night. 1t was done by
some boys who we're probably put
up to it, but the better element of
our people severely condemn such
conduct, irrespective Of politics.
1t is said that some other houses
were served the same way that
night. There is lots Of room vet at
the Reform School and 1t might be
a good idea to have Kingwood rep
resented.

We have heard men of all political

honest and upright politician, who
would not be guilty of dirty polit-
