Manchester Notes.

MANCHESTER, VA, Aug. 1890
We feel that We have won a victo-
~, relative to the Post Office APP
pointment. We have said it before,
that we were opposed to the luke
warm, so called Republicans having
all the Plums to themselves, while
others who toll for years go
unnoticed. Let me say just here
the time has come and our wants
are to be made known.
The appointment of Mr.. Smith to
be Postmaster, by the President was
a surprise to the people. Yet it
seems to be in keeping with the
adage. They who have stood and
endured the hardships, and they
who have made themselves pack
horses for the grand old party,
they are the ones to be ignored
But he who comes from the other
side, and swears that he is no more
of that household, he it is that gets
the recognition, and is paid to stay
over on this side, it seems. But
when the time comes around for q
genuine Republican to be considered,
no not now, Mr. Jones or Mr.. Some
| body has left the old party, and he
must have it by all hazards. We
can't afford to ignore such persons. -
Again, we add if you take it by a
vote, mark me ninety-nine of a
hundred in favor of ignoring until
they learn to come over for principle
rather than office.

[ pole Dances-The Other Amusements OF
| an Enjoyable Evening.
An attraction that called forth all oi
Sewickley's 40O and great many of Pitts
! burg's society people who are still in the
city, and neeessitated gorgeous decorations,
was the Country Fair" that, with its prim-
tive races and creased pole. afforded no
end OF meriment and fun to those in attend
ance, and netted a snug little sum of money
for the treasury of the Athletic Association.
With the primitiveness of the sports, how
ever, the resemblance to a country fair
| ceased. But rural or not rural, most enjov-
able time was had by all, of which the races
and contests were not the least important
feature.
Indeed, it was very excited crowd that
closed up about the race tracks, and 1t re-
quired some powerful and energetic talking
by Mr.. Frank Osburn, the master OF cere-
monies, to induce them to stand back and
allow the contestants room, and it was with
considerable pride that Messrs. James H.
Rankins and R. B. Ivory received the gold
quoits and watch chain awarded them for
the finest quot pitching, while Mr.. w. D..
Seymour was loudly applauded as he re-
ceived the little red wheelbarrow for the
most rapid manipulation of o larger sized
one, and huge watermelon for winning
the sack race.
Mr.. G. K. Wright was presented with a
tiny tin horn, which it will not be necessary
tor him to blow, as everyone saw his airy
flight into space that proclaimed him the
highest jumper.
Mr.. John Grady, as champion Of the OBJ
stacle race, was given a banjo, and in the
three-legged race Messrs. R. P. Nevin and
Charles l.. Doyle, as winners, were pre-
sented with silver mounted canes.
The egg race was won by Mr.. H. Page
Warden, who received an ocarina as a
memento.
Mr.. Joseph Mcdonald, in the hurdle
race, was proclaimed victor and was crowned
with a blue and white silk jockey cap,
while MIR. H. Page Warden received silk
tennis sash in the 100-yard dash, in which
he occupied but 10 3-8 seconds.
Master George Gordy. for the difficult
feat of climbing the creased pole in three
minutes, received his half bushel of peanuts,
and Immediately left the field and pole of
his contest, closely followed by the other five
contestants and any number of over-affec-
tlonate companions, whose interest in him
was absorbing.
During the entire evening the A. E. Nc
Caull Brass Band discoursed the most de-
lightful music, and Prof. Tony White gave
several exhibitions of his famous Punch and
Judy show.
The Committee of Arrangements con-
sisted of Miss Elizabeth Dickson, Mrs.
Robert j. Cunningham, Miss Irene McVey,
Mr.. Frank NJ. Hutchinson, Mr.. H. Page
Warden, and Mr.. George C. Hutchinson.

Case Where Fortune Alights Where II
Wns Least Expected.
Frank Schuler was the son ofa "poor but
honest parents" He married, as most
successful men do, and with heart for
any fate" rented farm, in company with
another man, from a man named Johnston,
short distance up CHARTERS creek. They
toiled from the "balmy efulgence of early
morn" until "the sentinel stars set their
watch in the sky, }" but without getting ahead
in the world. They were market gardeners,
aud sold their product in the Diamond
Market, contriving to keep body and soul
together, though the cohesion between the two
was not very strong.
At length, Want, constantly looking in
the door, drove Friendship out at the win
dow, and the partners disagreed. Their
divergence at length became so strong that
Frank proposed a dissolution, proposing
either 70 buy for or sell at 81 200. His part
Her chose to buy, and Schuler took the
$1,000, and with it made the first payment
on the Quinn farm. of 70 acres, at Forest
Grove. His acquaintances said he was
crazy, as the land was too poor for brick
making unless fertilizer were used. Be-
side, Schuler had no capital to stock it, and
there were no buildings on it.
In short, it was supposed he had thrown
his 81, 900 away. What he thought is not
recorded, but the near future had something
big on tap for Schuler. Before the second
payment was due Vandergrift struck the
famous Andy Young well, within few feet of
one corner of Schuler's purchase Frank
wasn't so dazed, but that he was still able
to drive bargain. and in a few days he
leased thirty acres, three-sevenths of his
purchase, 10 the Gillespies, oil borers, for
$4,000 bonus, 81, 500 more than he was to
pay for the entire tract. and the customary
royalty, leaving forty acres for future con-
sideration. The lessees have been fairly
successful, and Schuler's share of the out
put is worth $50 a day. He isn't taking
time to comment on the fckleness of for
tune, and his acquaintance sav that his
luck hasn't fustered him to the extent of
turning hair.
But pictures are not complete without
shadows as we'll as lights, and some of the
Quinn heirs are said to be chewing the cud
OF disappointment. 1t is related chat some
wanted to sell the ancestral acres and others
didn't, and that one of the former, in par.
ticular, would not let the matter rest until
the farm was disposed of. It is said that
after all expenses, legal and otherwise, were
paid, this particular heir had coming to him
$40,
