The jgnoramuses who conducted the
republican convention OF the llth
district said that the new silver law
placed that metal on an equality as
money with gold. They used a very
unfortunate expression, but they didn't
know any better. The farmers OF
Pulaski county do, however. AT the
regular quarterly meeting of the Pulas-
| XII Farmers and Laborers' Union, held
al Waynesville, July 81, that body
passed the following :-"That the
| Window bill, which virtually demone-
tizes silver, does not meet our APPROX
al, but calls forth u indignation
upon every U. S. senator and repre-
sentative in congress who voted for the
same. Nothing less than the free anG
unlimited coinage of silver will NEE
our demands" How is 1t with Mr.
Erwin? He Is a farmer and a republi
can. The republican party has givei
us the Window bill, and he stands as

by a handsome stranger in Pine Grove,
Pa, about eight months ago. Van
Nostrand was a regular attendant al

soon became engaged to Mrs. Rush
brook, a young, rich and handsome
widow. They were married on the
thirteenth of this month. They were
to leave on the midnight express tor a
European tour and Van Nostrand
left his bride for the purpose, as he
said, of buying their tickets, taking
