The Champion Tramp.

Our town was visited on Friday last
by Mr.. Thomas S. Kelley who claims to
be the champion tramp of the United
States Mr. Kelley was born in Caroline
county, Va, and has tramped ever since
the late war; He has no occupation
other than professional tramp. Two
wears ago the Police Gazette presented
to the public likeness of Mr.. Kelley,
and accorded him the honor of being the
g Champion of Tramps." His forte lies
in his ability to secure assistance from
those who are not disposed to be chart
table, and is an adept in his line equal
to the celebrated 30 Hickman. He is
quite n fluent conversationalist, and
processes acquaintanceship with many
prominent men throughout the country.
He has many times narrowly escaped
being killed. once falling from a railroad
bridge at Riverton, into the Shenandoah
river, 60 feet below. Altogether Mr..
Kelley is quite interesting, is man of
varied information, but has evidently
been subjected to many " hard knocks :"
while on his journey through life. He
left Friday night on q freight train en-
route for the Republican Convention,
going early in order to avoid the rush.
He will also attend the Democratic Con
vention later on.

A Weak Argument.

The principal argument being used
against the adoption of the town charter
for the past few days by its opponents,
seems to be that they are not willing to
trust the present Council with the dis
bursements. The assertion is openly
and boldly made that the Council can
not be trusted with it, This is a charge
which we are satisfied the people of the
town will not endorse. AS we have fire.
quently heard remarked on the streets,
we do not believe any one can select
other more competent, painstaking,
honest business men in the town than
the six who compose the present Coun>
Gil. There are other gentlemen in the
town who would discharge the duties OF
the office with credit to themselves, but
taken as body, we do not think six
more trustworthy councilmen could be
found. This being the case, we deem
the charge unjust. 1t may be true that
the Council has made some mistakes
who does not ?-but not mistakes such
as warrant its being characterized as
being enthusiastically.
The opposition will not strengthen it.
self by fighting the amendment to the
charter on this line.

TODAY.

The vote cast to day by the citizens of
Clifton Forge, on the amended charter,
will have q far reaching effect upon the
town. If the charter shall be adopted,
it viii mean that new dispensation of
progress and prosperity is to dawn upon
us-that Clifton is to take its place al
the head of the new towns of the State,
and move forward on the lines OF i'm
provement until it becomes q verltable
city, with al modern appointments con
ducive to health and comfort. If the
charter shall be defeated, it will date a
black day for tho place. 1t will adver
tise the people as satisfied with filthy
streets and side walks, miasma breeding
cutters, and all the attendant ills which
come from want of proper sewerage and
cleanliness. 1t will especially emphasize
a retroactive spirit, inasmueh as it has
been shown that the improvements con
tempIated under the new charter would
all be met by a minimum rate of taxa
ton, less than is imposed upon any town
in the State. 1t is a patent fact that,
under the present charter, essential i'm
provements cannot be made, and SO the
case is now made up either to allow the
town to remain as it is, or to enlarge its
limits, increase its revenue, and provide
for the modern improvements and COM
forts that will be effected under the
amended charter
Persons coming here from other towns,
and even other States, express surprise
that there should be any opposition
whatever to the adoption of the charter.
They see the condition of the town as it
is, and measure its possibilities as they
would be were the new charter put in
force. They appreciate the advantage
Gus location of the streets for improve
mept; the facilities for excellent sewerage
and lie small cost that would be i'm
posed to make the town one of the most
attractive in the South, and wonder why
it is that our people do not grasp the
opportunity without hesitation to ad-
vance the value of their own property
and secure additional comforts.
We do not know to what extent oppo.
sition will be expressed at the polls, but
we hope it will be light-certainly not
enough to defeat a measure so essential
to tn growth and health of the place
and the advantage of every citizen, and
especially every property-holder.
The friends Of the charter should take
nothing for granted. From early dawn
to dewy eve they should be at work,
and leave no effort unused to convince
the voters of the Importance of the con-
test, and the necessity of making the
majority as large as possible. With
unite action and untiring energy the
necessary vote can be obtained for the
adoption Of the charter, and with that
effected new era for Clifton Forge will
date with the closing Of the polls
Let every man constitute himself 6
com mittee of one to work for building
up an identifying the town, and start
ingthe improvements that will eventually
fulfill Gen. Ingalls, prediction that it is
to be the ALTOONA of the Sou thu

Conference NJ. E. Church, South, died
at Upperville, Va on the 9TH inst, and
his remains arrived in Stauntou on the
9th, for lnterment in Thronrose Genes
terry Dr. Dice had been i'll for some
time, more than a year ago having been
stricken down by paralysis. He had
been very useful and popular minister
in the Methodist church and had filled
some of the most important stations in
the Conference. AT one time, he was

'ABLEA U
It is Clifton Forge Now.

The annoyance to which persons COM
ing to Clifton Forge on the cars have
been subjected by mis-calling the station
on the arrival of the trains has been
stopped. The attention Of General
Mana ger g. w. Stevens having been di.
rected to it he ordered that when the
cars reached this place, the name of Cliff
ton Forge be called out. This order is
now observed, and the confusion to pas
sengers heretofore arising from designa-
ting it Ridgeway Street, or Smiths
Creek, as the station, instead OF Clifton
Forge, is obvated. We had no doubt of
this result, when the facts became known
to the proper authorities. Railroad
arrangements, as rule. are disposed to
do the right thing in the accommoda-
ton of the travelling public and the peo-
pie generally, and we were sure the en-
lightened and public spirited officers of
the C. and O. would not prove an ex-
ception If complaints are presented in
courteous and kindly terms, they will
always be met in the same spirit, and
the end desired be effected without fric'
ton or ilI-feeling.

New Advertisements.

Everybody needs groceries, and the
question where to buy them at the right
kind of prices, is an important one. In
this connection we would direct the att
tention of our readers to the advertise>
ment of Messrs. Leet " Shepard, in
another column. These gentlemen have
come to Clifton Forge and cast their for
tunes with our people, having faith in
the future of the town. They are now
"one of u.s. and ask for Il fair share OF
the public patronage. They carry full
line of groceries, perfectly fresh, and
notions also. We bespeak for them a
call from our readers, and a careful ex-
animation OF their stock and prices.

Fatal Railroad Accident,

An accident occurred just west of the
Greenbrier stock yards, on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road Sunday last, in
which engineer James Buchanan, fire>
man Brown and brakeman Houseman,
dent was the falling of huge boulder
from the mountain side just before the
train reached the spot. The engine ran
into the rock, which precipitated the
brier river, and derailed thirteen cars.
Two tramps on the train saw the rock
