\ Peculiar Apple.

>MBGUaBCEG, Pa, Nov. 3.-Horti- cultur;sts who have seen it say that an apple which was picked the other day in t. P Georges orchard New Frank in could only have been produced by . pc culiar grafting done by the bees in the apple blossom season.

SAM JONES'.

The Rev. Sam P. Jones, the Evangelist,
ended his eight days meetings last Sunday
night, and has gone to Kentucky. A man
that can draw congregations aggregating
$4,000 people in single day, and that, day
after day, has drawn tohear him thousands
OF the refined and intelligent women and
men OF Staunton and Augusta county-a
people of no inferior grade of either refine
ment or intelligence may be fairly said to
be out OF reach of adverse criticism by the
V1NDICAToR. But if he was in reach, we
must confess we would hardly know how to
set about criticiSing this towering preach
ell. A startling genius, fearlessness
that balks at nothing, a roughness equaled
only by the March wind, a tenderness and
beauty Of thought that scents of the bios
sons of May. a wealth of illustration
matched only by its originality, a love for
men equaled only by his hatred of their
vlceS-all this and more had this strange
meteor that has just flashed across the re-
llgl0uS empyrean. 1t is said he will come
again in year. If he does, the 900 will
be $4,000. The wonderful peroration of his
address at the meeting for men only, Sun
day afternoon, will live IN the memories Of
those who heard it, till he come again.

The Richmond correspondent Of the Nor
folk Ledger abiding to the fact that Hon.
}. Taylor Ellyson, Chairman Of the State
Democratic Committee, is quoted as being
favorable to MI. Cleveland IS denomination,
says:
The chairman has not, 1 am quite sure, ex-
pressed himself definitely on this subject. He
thinks there is abundance of time for the peO-
pie to make decision as to the most availa-
pie man Tor the party to select as their stand
ard-bearer in 1892.
And the VINDICATOR, without knowing,
is ''quite sure'' that the correspondent is
right. MI. Ellyson does not believe in
using the influence Of the position the peo-
pie have entrusted him with, for or against
any Democrat; and he also believes that the
choice OF the people Of Virginia for the
Democratic nominee ought to he left to the
people themselves, and not s'steered'' by
politicians. His opinion that 1891 is year
too soon to select candidate for 1892 is
sound one. 1t is great pity some of the
prominent Democrats of Virginia who
are firing off opinions on Presidential can
didates could not he vaccinated with some
ct Chairman Ellyson' s level headedness.

NEW. ADVERTISEMENTS.
a WORD IN DEFENSE OF RIGHT

In reply to an article in the Argus of July
9TH under the caption of "More about Sam
JONES'
We were inclined to pass by unobseryed this
uncalled for abuse heaped upon one OF
Gods ministers by little newspaper
like the Argus. 1t is hard for US to see why
this assault was made upon Mr. Jones, and
especially since he has gone to Texas.
Mr.. Moody says: MI. Jones is thunder
He CJones) is disgrace to any town Of
course the Argus knows?
But the Argus says it (Argas) is fair
minded. independent journal. And yet you
condemn man you did not go to hear Gas l
am informed). OF course that is very fair
minded?
But says the Argus: "We congratulate the
good people Of Staunton that Mr.. Jones is
gone" Why? please. Is it because the Argus
has been insulted?, OH but then "Sam Jones
used anecdotes and drew pictures that would
not have been eXcusable i'll common roWdy,"
says the Argus And he thereby has insulted
the fine feelings of the Argus and whiskey
men-Oh! my.
Then says the Argus: ''The city has been
disgraced' The truth of the matter is, Mr.
Jones has been here, many have been convert
ed to God, and set their faces toward Eternal
rest. And the Argus; for what reason |
know not put in its disapproval and was
rebuked and in that way the city was SO
disgraced?
And then there has been petition circula-
ted asking for a Local Option election in the
city, and that seems to have offended the Argus
Judging from its columns. can't see how
that should incur its (Argus') dspleasure.
May be can see hereafter.
One objection the Argus raises, is that the
signers of the petition have minor interests i'm
the town. Of course, such men as Capt. II. C.
Morton, g. A. Holt and Reeves Gait have no
interestin the town?
And then the Argus says: "More than half
the sgners are negroes That is either 9,

What's the matter, go to the record and you
will see.
Then the Argus says (by implication that
the signers are not the Intelligent men OF the
town, and on our list are such men as Capt.
Kable, Prof John Murray, w. A. Harris, b.
d., Capt w. W. Gibbs, &c.
Then the Argus says: 1.-The sensible bust
ness men of the town would not touch it -
Look at the list of signers and you will see a
mistake there. You leave me under the i'm
preston that a man in this town ought not to
be allowed to have voice in this contest I'M
less he has his thousands. You know that is
not the principle Of free government. Your
supporters, the honest yeomanry of this coun-
tY will tell you better things than that.
