UNIONTOWN.

Mrs. Alexander, an aged and respected
lady, residing near ShepherdstOwn, has
been very i'll for several weeks, and until
very recently her life was despaired of.
We are now glad to state that she is
much better, and hopes are entertained
of her speedy recovery. She is the wild
ow of the late James Alexander, well
known throughout the county, and whose
home was formerly at Morristown, o.
making kindly comment, the editor
of the Gazette frankly admits that the
prayers of his party avail nothing, and
so the party it seems have discarded pray
er and endeavor to gerryman1er them
selves into Office. AS proof of this they
dispensed with prayer at their recent
Congressional Convention, while the Re
publicans still trust in God, and at the
same time endeavor ''to keep their pow
der dry" Their Congressional COnven
tion opened with prayer, and a good
Christian man was nominated, who has
ELI written all over his person, from
the crown of his head to the sOles of his
feet
Mr.. VIM. Hoge, of Barnesville, gave
most interesting entertainment consist
ing of lecture and exhibition of views on
Friday evening last. His subject was
Across the Ocean," and the lecture
abounded in valuable information for
both old and young. Such entertain
ments should be cordially welcomed in
the country villages, where too often the
snide show and negro minstrel troupe are
the only sources of amusement
A little 5-year- r-old son of Mr.. Dighton
Berry, while playing with matches on
Wednesday last, fired rick of hay stand
ing near their dwelling. The fire was
discovered and alarm promptly given,
but too late to save the hay, which was
entirely consumed. The neighbors soon
gathered and watched the building until
all danger was over. The little boy was
so frightened that he wandered quite
distance from home, and his absence was
new source of anxiety to his parents.
Keeping the highway he was soon found
and returned to his home.
Our citizens will learn with regret of
the death of Dr. S. D. Krim, which oc-
Cured recently at his home in Uhrichs-
ville-typhoid fever being the cause of
his death. DR.. Krim made his home in
this town for number of years, and had
the respect of all who knew him. He
was man of fine attainm9nts but being
of a modest, unassuming nature, his
abilities were not always recognized. As
aneighbor we can freely testify to the
many good qualities of his mind and
heart.
