Part of the State.
From the Punxsutawney Spirit.l
There is legend among the staid and indus
trious inhabitants of the country around Canoe
creek that some time in the dim past, when the
red man skulked among the unbroken forests
with bow and arrow and the white man had
not yet penetrated to the valley of the Mahon-
ing, the Indians had buried, by the banks of the
Canoe, golden treasure. Its whereabouts had.
at some time or other, been revealed to son1e-
body by an Indian squaw but the treasure had
never been disturbed. Recently the legend was
revived, and some parties have been digging
great holes along the banks of the stream in the
hope of finding a fortune. Up to date the
treasure has not been unearthed.

That East End addition is at this time
attracting considerable attention. Why?
because it is nearer Alamo plaza than any
other addition. Because being east of the
city on high ground, it gets the fine

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

Our esteemed Democatic contem.
porary, the Fairmont Inder, owned
and edited by Grovernor Fleming's
Secretary Of State, seems to be very
much concerned over he talk, on
the part of Republicans, Of nominal
ing Hon. S. B. Elkins for Congress
in the Second District, and is horror
stricken at the idea OF a " gentleman
from New York y running for office
in West Virginia. Mr.. Elkins is as
good citizen of this State as our
worthy Secretary of State, and has
contributed quite as much, if not
more, to its welfare as have those
who raise the carpet-bag cry when
ever Republican who does not hap
pen to be "to the manor born y
steps to the front. Whoever is
nominated by the Republicans in the
Second District this year will give
Hon. Free Trade Wilson very close
race. The Second is one Of the
West Virginia districts in which the
Protection sentiment is constantly
growing. 1t is not at all strange
that the Democracy is 10 trepidaton
at the idea of so distinguished a
Protectionist leader as Mr.. Elkins
being chosen as the Republican
standard bearer, or work for who
whoever else is nominated.
Mr.. Wilson, the present represen-
tative of the Second District in con-
gresS, has three times narrowly
ESCAPED defeat, in spite of the TACT
that tue district was formerly in the
habit of giving in the neighborhood
of fifteen hundred majority. Mr..
Wilson's free trade proclivities are
accountable for the remarkably close
shaves he experienced at least twice
during his career as statesman. He
continues to stick 10 his British idol,
and the people of his district will
next fall vote for a friend OF the
American system. Whether it is
Mr.. Elkns or any other one of the
many able Protectienist leaders of
that section of West Virginia, the
Republicans will have cause to feel
encouraged nteliigencer.
