Mrs. DR.. D. w. Border and

famous Williams Grove Exhibi-
ton.
1t is reported that DR.. G.. G..
Lucas has purchased NJ. B. Mil
ler's property here, now occupi-
ed by l.. Homsher as a store
room. This is a desirable prop
erty, being central and well To-
Gated.
Our people here are anticipat-
ing much pleasure and profit
from the Morgan's Grove exhibi-
ton next week. This fair promi-
ses to surpass all former at
tempts. We earnestly invite our
Berkeley friends and neighbors
to come and partake with us,
and in the language of Holy
Writ: we will do them good.
Felix Agnus, the eminent pub
Usher of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, is billed as one of the ora
tors.
The situation politically in
Jefferson is interesting, and the
field at present is fair to look
upon. We have passed over
some rough places, and had
some ugly distractions to con-
tend with, but to-day we feel
proud to say that the outlook
is a good one and that all true
Republicans feel encouraged. The
State, Congressional and Presi-
Dental Tickets will all make
gains in this county, and in adj
dition to this we hope to elect a
Republican Sheriff. We regret
to say that in this sheriffalty
contest, several Republicans at
certain places are working in
the interest of Mr.. Hurst the
Democratic nominee, and trying
to injure the chances of Mr.. Hig-
genbotham. To forward their
diabolical and treacherous
schemes they are working I'M
demanded, and in a Judas-like
way to disrupt the party and
drive votes to Hurst. We are
glad to say that their dark ways
are known and understood, both
by Republicans and New Ticket
Democrats, and that they can do
but little harm. These gentle
men are known and will be spot
ted and remembered by the party
in the future. We hrve been
handicapped in this county for
some years by a few men who
proclaims to the world that they
are Republicans, and yet secret
ly work in the interest of the
Democratic party. They come
in our convention, take promi-
nent parts in the proceedings and
then go out and work for the op
position. They have done this
time and again. We will bury
them this Fall. The books at
the County-seat shows a delin-
quent list of nine hundred and
forty five. Just think of it for
a county like Jefferson to have
such showing. Is it not time
that the people should rise en-
masse and demand a change.
No wonder this old Sheriffalty
ticket made such a desperate eff
fort for reelection, although in
open violation of the spirit of
the State constitution. No Won
der they said they could not af-
ford to let Mr.. Shirley be defeated
for Commissioner? But he was.
