Wheat and Oats Iniured-A New Candi

So,einI CorreSDondence of the REGISTER.
n MEADowvILLE. w. VA, May Is
The long-continued drouth and cold
weather has injured the wheat crop
materially. and many pieces OF oats do
not look like making anything, vet the
recent rain showers are very much I'M
proving the appearance OF all Vegeta-
ZION. Notwithstanding the air turns cold
whenever it rains. The corn that was
planted the last of April and first of May
is coming up very unevenly on account
of the long dry weather. The frost and
cold weather has killed all the fruit in
some localities. yet in other places there
will be Il good crop.
The little village of Meadowville came
very nearly having Il turnout the first
of the week. The fire caught in the
dry single roof of d. T. Elliott Il Bros.
store house, from the stove Que. But
fortunately ii was discovered in time,
and there being a number Of persons
present, arrested the flames before much
damage was done. Otherwise it might
have burned the largest part of the
town, as the wind was very high.
The tannery company of the city of
Davis, Tucker county, on the w. Va. c.

to haul it to Mount Rose, Randolph
county, where it will be weighed, CARED
and shipped to Davis.
Well, there is being some talk through

able candidate for Auditor in the person
of Col. Il. V. Johnson, who is favorably
known all over the State, and is as well
qualified for the Office as any one in the
State, having been reared in the clerks
Office of this county from early boyhood
until the commencement OF the war
under the care of l.. d. Moral, and
having been elected three con-
secutive terms to the Circuit
Clerkship of this county previous to
the last election. He would have been
unanimously elected the fourth term,
but he declined to ask for the nomina
ton which would have been equivalent
to election, and would have saved the
county the humiliatng fact of having
the circuit clerks Office run by the Re-
publicans.
He has always been a Democrat, is a
Christian gentleman, and was one of
the best Circuit clerks of the State.
We hope that in the event he is a can
didate it will be the pleasure Of the
convention to nominate him and not
ignore the claims of Barbour and her
adjoining sister counties.
