CLIFTON FORGE. VA. Feb. 10, 199:


Mr.. J. W. BEAR:-After reading your
verv complimentary article of the 1st.,
and as you confess to two charges out of
the three for there were only three
charges against you), we felt that we
were not called on to notice it. But after
little reflection, and not wishing to do
you the least injustice, and as you plead
not guilty to the second charge, that is,
YOU saw YOU did not receive pay for
services rendered, we are willing to make
the G7ne71de honorable, and will just rub
that out.
And now we wish to make fair prop
osition, which we hope you will accept.
You may choose man out OF the Re
publican party, provided you select a
true born Virginian (and there are
plenty such in Clifton Forge, and we
will choose another of the same kind,
and then take your own confession and
if you or they can point out q single
falseEood, we will acknowledge that you
have been treated unjustly, and that
YOU were not called on, when you found
out that you could not support the Dem
ocratic ticket, to go as any true born
Virginian would have done, and had
your name stricken from the rcll. But
did you do that? Nothing that any one
else will say or write about you, can
hurt you, unless it is true. Falsehood
cannot injure you. 1t is only your own
words and actions that will condemn or
exalt. Then. if you think you are Re-.
publican, be good one and be true to
your party, and you will not only be
respected by your own party, but by all
good Democrats as we'll Never act as
you die in the last campaign. But re-
member, the mills of the gods grind
slowly but they grind exceedingly fine"

The section of Virginia, of which Cliff
ton Forge is the central point, cannot
fail of a sure and solid development.
The fact that it has held its own and
eeven progressed during period of de-
preston, indicates in an unmistakable
manner that there is reason in nature
that pushes its affairs along whether
men do much or little.
There is no excuse to sit on the porch
and see the cars go by, but it is good
place to put in enterprise and improve
business opportunities. The ''croaker'
and 'do-notling" will wake up some
day, and not very far distant, and his
vision be opened to chances now beyond
his means and lost for good to him. He
will then bewail his dizziness, that he
could not realize that to the East and
West of Clifton Forge are two great and
growing sections of the most prosperous
nation on earth, and which have an in>
creasing need of just what there is lying
around loose out doors, right under his
eyes this very day. | am very respect
