A nusrLlSG COMMUNITY.
This state Of affairs will not exist
long. for the development company is
pushing its worl; forward us rapidly as
the weather or tho lido Of affairs will
permit. Tho iron viaduct is about
completed. In the meanwhile tho
grading Of the streets in the extension
Of the town is making rapid progress.
The only difficulty experienced is the
scarcity Of labor. You don't SEQ many
idle people on tho streets here, and
those who are non-producing consumers
are go from habit and inclination-those
who have that tired feeling you have
read about.
Tho people here are hustlers from
the headwaters OF Hustle creek, and
you will'have to take q long journey
before you meet with such widc.awake
pnblic.
POLITICS Ann PERSONALS.
AS this is a presidential year ii is an
exceedingly dead community. indeed,
that is not interesting from a political
point of view. While lore I have
heard a great gcal OF gossip of interest
to both parties. Col. Charley Wells, OF
Glover's Gap, wa i'll town the other
day. He had with him his wcll.known
resemblance 10 tho French Imperator,
besides his genial way and winning
smile. Charley never. travels without
them. The colonel is not going to re.
main on the throne wrapped in the
solitude Of his own originality" nor is
he going to be exiled to any political
st. Helena. Not much. Charley is 60
ing to be in it. He is going TO lay aside
the cares attending oil leases and land
booms andjump right into.thc yawn-
ing Curtain chasm, and see what fun
he can get out Of the job OF trying to
reach the state senate from this dis
trict through the favors OF the Dem.
ocracy. That Col. Wells will be given
all the amusement he desires is certain.
He has secured n free right OF way, l
understand, for the nomination, and
lett Fairmont with q broad smile and
unlimited confidence. His Republican
competitor will undoubtedly bessHun.
James Fl. Furbce, OF Warrington, Il
strong, clean andhcalthy candidate, and
Wells will suffer no humiliation in be-
ing beaten by such n man.
Judge D. Is. Lucas will have solne
troubl, in reading his title clear to q
nomination Tor the supreme bench, US
many Democrats in this section are sit.
ting up O. nights Matching schemes that
will certainly disturb the ambition OF
the muse OF the "Maid OF the Northum.
berland." The man who will he
brought forward to contest TO- the nom.
inatioa is Josephus C%oriaIanua More
land, the altitudinous mayor oil Morgan
town. Some OF tho workers in the
Democratic ranks arc very sore over
the report that Judge Lucas is the
outhor OF those touching and pathetic
lines.
When Ger I see n politician rise,
! lit mine eyes appealing 20 the S!.lcS,
l am not certain whether the Judge is
guilty, but this is the penalty he is pay
ing for being the poet OF tho eastern
divide" and he may be moved through
the depths OF his despair to exclaim
with Senator Hill,
Lead, kindly light, amidst tn cncircling gloom.
While tho Democratic populaco in
Ohio county are not rising as one for
delegate TO tho Chicago convention,
there is virtual unanimity in the Sec
ond, district in favor OF ex-senator
Henry &. Davis for delegatc-at-large.
Capt. Ed. Watson, OF Fairmont, has q
pretty sure thing OF it tor district dele
gate from this section, and Col. ia.
Robinson. of Mineral county, is NEIL
toned ns another delegate.
Mr.. Lamar C. Powell, editor OF the
Yes Hrginiaa. is likely TO be one OF the
Second district delegates to Minneapolis.
Mr.. Powell has u arug account with the
party which no has drawn on very spar
ingly, and which would not DO in any
measure balanced by his selection rs q
delegate.
The candidacy OF Mr.. G. B. Hart for
delegate.at-large from the First district
is cordially endorsed by all the Rcpub-
!icans ] have talked with here, and from
all l can learn his name will strike the
convention with ~pile-drivor. force. A
prominent Republican remarked in my
hearing that Mr.. Hart was just the kind
OF man the delegation wanted with
them that he had a wide acquaintance
with public men outside OF the state,
was experienced in ~affuirs, and ono who
would reflect credit OIL tho state in this
important period in her history.
BOOM PAPER.
Messrs. Smith & Mckinney, the pro-
prietors Of the Fairmont hder, have
had a big contract on hand for some
months past, which they hope to be re-
lieved Of in q few days. 1t is nothing
more nor less than a boom edition ex-
plotting tho manufactures, resources
ard advantages OF the county scat Of
Marion county and its surroundings,
The ISrELLlGEScER has had considerable
experience in this limo, and can appre-
ciate tho immense amount OF labor,
worry, disappointment and anxiety that
attend such publications. The issue
