Quite number of our people went
to Hedgesville last Saturday, to hear
Gen. Golf. He was not on hand at
the appointed hour, so Messrs. Wisner
and Pitzer addressed the audience in
very able manner. At 4 p. M. Hon.
George NJ. Bowers and Gen. Golf
made their appearance, the crowd
rushed toward them on their approach
with loud cheers of welcome. He adj
dressed the audience in very able
manner for short time. las his time
was limited), then enjoyed bounti-
fnl repast with number of others at
Mr.. j. II. Miller's, after which they.
returned to Martinsburg.

Mr.. Joseph H. Kitchen, of Toma-
hawk, is able to attend to business
again.
Johnsontown school is now being
successfully taught by Mr.. Bernard
Kilmer, who has been legally hired
by majority of the trustees of that
school. Anyone whoever studied the
school law Of West Va, knows that a
transfer from one teacher 10 another
is void. Mr.. Kilmer is a young man
of intelligence, and is doing well, and
will continue to dose, if mother Grun-
day remains at home at attends to her
own business. l can not speak too
highly Of MI. Kilmer, both as to his
qualifications aud character. There
is not stain upon his character. 1t
seems as though mother Grunday is
not satisfied unless she goes from house
to house, and does all she can to stir
up strife and i'll will among neIghbors;
what a pity it is, she has not learned
that there is better way to live than
that.

the evening he was introduced to a
large and enthusiastic audience in

all, reviewing the history Of the coun.

Republican party for the good of the
people. He spoke III a courteous
and dispassiOnate manner, produc'
ing facts and arguments that are
unanswerable. Gen. Golf made a
ringing speech in Baltimore Monday

the lead of Tom Reed and William

tinued, with quiet smile, lis that
since 1876 the Democratic maiOriiips
have been coming down DIT the rate
of 1000 in every State election, and
the Republicans nov have $4,000
majority. The people OF West Vir-

G. A. R CIRCULAR.

The Grand Army OF the Republic
was never in better condition than
at the present time. Its strength
and power are commensurate with its
numbers, now nearly one,half million
Comrades. But its mission is not
complete. We are comrades not for
personal benefit to ourselves, but to
enable us individually the better to
do good to others who stood at our
side in the shock of battle. There are
far too many such, not enrolled with
us and therefore not within the reach
of the full benefits OF our order.
They lose the advantage and inspir
alton offIaternal associations which
the Post room, the only club house
of the average veteran, affords. The
relief fund of the Post is not sure to
reach them in their distress. They
do not go with us to visit the sick. to
feed the hungry, or to bury the
dead comrade. Our badge, which
Grant and Sheridan priced and SAer}
man wears, does not decorate their
breasts as the insignia of honor for
their valiant service.
No veteran Joins the Grand Army
OF the Republic aud enters into its
work in the spirit of true comrade-
ship, without being lifted to a
loftier manhood and to the plano Of
better citizenship. We therefore
fail in duty if we fail to do our ut
most to bring all who offered their
lives for flag and country within our
organization. They all now know
that such membership canuot in,
fringe the free exercise of political
inclination or religious faith.
The Commander in. Chief there
fore appeals to Posts and comrades
to bring upon our rolls all worthy
veterans of the Union army and
navy, who are not there already,
and to let none be dropped there
from for Inability to pay the small
dues incumbent upon men, berShip.
He also solicits from Department
Commanders and all comrades frank
suggestions upon matters within
administrative Jurisdiction pertain
ing to the welfare of the order. BY
vigorous co operation along our lines
they are sure to be greatly advanc-
ed, and our countrymen will ever
rise up to bless us for true devotion
to Fraternity, Charity and Loyal
ty," even as they hold us in honor
for brave deeds on the battleields
of the Republic. Yours in f. G..
and L., w. q. VEAzEY.
