A newspaper can say nice and pleas
ant things about a man and his fam
lily for ten long years, and then incur
their lifetime enmity in one short
week by seeming slight. Yes, it's a
fact, and you can hurrah for a candi-
date, back his friends, cuss his enc
mics and make a fool of yourself all
the way through without thank in
the end, to find when you are a can
didate that he is out of politics. But
there's one man that don't forget you,
and that's the man you opposed.
Queer, isn't it

Mr.. Joseph Duncan, OF Summit
Point, was victimized here last week
to the tune of forty dollars. Some
mechanic working with him came to
town with him from Summit Point,
and by some hook or crook man
aged to get hold OF an endorsed
check which Mr.. Duncan had in his
pocket. 1t is needless to add that he
got the check cashsd and then
skipped for parts unknown without
saying goodbye to any one. We
could not learn the ''skippers" name

color Of his hair.
In the opinion of a great many per-
sons the performance OF Barnum's
circus at Martinsburg last Friday was
fraud and a humbug. After paying
so cents admission the people were
obliged TO give so cents more for re-
served seats, or else be packed away
of at one end where scarcely any part
of the show could be seen. Five or
six performances were going on at
the same time, and consequently
nothing could be observed with salts
faction. The programme was cut
very short, although there would
have been plenty Of it had it not
been piled on so thick. The best
thing of the show was the grand
spectacular performance OF Nero,
with its splendid ballet. The menag-
erie was also quite good, and those
who went to "see the animals" were
well satisfied. The managers of the
circus were after the dollars-and
they got them, for fully 10000 people
were under the canvas.
