MOLER'S AVENUE.

er, without even smell of any
thing stronger than a glass of
home made wine and no stran-
gers except Capt. Gerry, of
Washington, and Mr.. Hathaway
of Brunswick. All this quiet was
restful and soothing after the
noisy, mobilize, harum-scarum
whoop and howl of Tuesdays
Democrat parade which the
World applauded as a grand sue
cess; but that was only meant
for the eyes of persons who were
not present. The participants
themselves were ashamed of the
whole affair and some good Dem
ocrats made apology for the
shabby, disorganized, green,
featherless | mean beardless and
unfledged goslings who made
the major part of the throng,
who had never cast a vote and
knew not the meaning of the
senseless inscriptions on their
white muslins Haunting out I'M
der the electric lights, Berkeley
Co. in the soup" 1--WE buy
where we can the cheapest, +"
"Free WOOL" and the like. Why
didn't Democratic overflow of
spirits carry them somewhere
outside of Berkeley Co, which
stood like a rock and didn thave
her brains added SO that she
could not think and act to her
best interest? Who did not have
her eyes so full of soup that she
was blinded to the game played
by passion, prejudice and mis-
representation; who wasn't soft
enough to be moulded into a be-
lief that the Democrats would
fill her pockets with money if
she only would sink her heel in
the Republicans neck. She had
been reading THE HERALD and
knew how to cast her vote and
lift her jeweled fingers to her
pretty nose in mockery of the
creed of the opposite party.
Honor to the editors for their
sound principles and fearless de-
fence of the grand Party that
has asserted its superiority in
Patriotism, Progress and Princi-
pies and which has received a
rebuff, only to come up again, a
leader, stronger, better. grander,
more triumphant than ever be-
fore.
Mrs. Chas. Rimel has been
very sick but is slowly recover
ing.
Mrs. Stephens and daughter
are visiting Mrs. Hoffman and
expect to remain during the
winter.
There is some solace for the
deep grief caused by the recent
loss of her devoted husband, in
the society of her doting mother
and the delicate, refined and
clinging love of her worthy sis
ter, and in the sympathy of the
many friends of her childhood
who still remain to cheer her in
her aff1iction. There is, too, a re-
lief in the voluntary help given
by Mrs. Stevens to the large
number of music students under
the training of Miss Matte, her
sister, for there is a sweet salts
faction that always comes to us
when we try to lift one another's
burdens and we thereby Tighten
our own. The musical talent of
the daughter who sometimes fa-
vors pupils and visitors with her
rare skill is an inspiration to all
who hear.
Ridenour School has still an
enrolment of SO, an average of
40.
Monday, 28.-Snow several
inches in depth lies upon the
ground but the air is SO warm it
cannot remain long however. 1t
served to brighten the pupils for
81 staid home on account of it,
and this reminds me of giving a
hint to the parents. If children
do not attend school regularly
they lose interest in their work
and get behind and will not
learn. Besides a teacher cannot
classify a school that only at
tends when the sun shines and
without close classification
teacher may work and see no re-
suits. The three months past
have only given me time to get
the classes in a good condition to
advance. ask you in the inter.
est of your children to make it
point to send them every day
that the roads are passable, and
you will feel rewarded in the
progress that they make. If you
do not try to comply, please don't
complain if the children do not
learn. LOT.
