SOLDIERS MEErINe.-The meet

SOLDIERS MEETING.-The meet
ing of the soldiers called at the
Court House for last Monday was
pretty well attended, but the polit-
zeal schemers and tricksters of Re-
publican faith, who expected to
profit by the meeting, found out
before it assembled that they would
have to go slow and change their
tact if they would receive the conf
denee of the soldiers. They soon
found that the old veterans were
not made of material that could be
twisted and bent to suit their own
selfish ends, and hence the speeches
were all of tame order, and de-
NAL that they were there for parti-
san purposes.
Mr.. Menager made a creditable
speech, and so far as lac could, being
the strict partisan that he is, came
very near being nom partisan in his
remarks.
Col. Gibbons followed him in a
few remarks about pensions. He
was followed by DIR. Barbee, who
was soon at sea, and drifted into a
discussion of the Sherman law and
tariff.
Ex-Sheriff Pcffenbarger was the
next speaker, and said'a good deal
in few words. Menager and Poff-
enbarger are both candidates for the
Republican nomination for Congress,
and he had to put his best foot for
ward, to keep Menagcr from stealing
a march upon him with the soldiers
No resolutions were offered or
adopted; and this is where the SOL
diers got away with the tricksters,
who had the resolutions already
prepared, but were afraid to offer
them.

Graphite Paint, and from the guar
antee he gives, we don't expect TO
have to paint the roof again during
our natural life. 1t is beyond doubt
the best paint that can be put on a
metal roof, for it will preserve the
metal and will last longer than any
other paint known. If you want a
roof painted give your order to Mr..
Thomas. 1t costs no more than
the cheap red paint.

PUBLIC SCHooLs.-The Clarks-
burg Telegram says: Our common
schools are now open for the work
of the year, and it seems proper to
call the attention of patrons and
friends to a few things which will
very materially aid public school
work and promote the cause of pop
ular education, the great object of
the Free Schools.
"The public school will never
accomplish any marked results
without the co operation of the
people upon which it depends for
support, and its efficiency will
increase in proportion to the inter
est shown by those who patronize
it, while its sphere in the educa,
tional world will be determined
largely by the attention given it in
the public mind.
"The cause of general education
can be dealt no greater blow, than
indifference to its advantages. and
failure to improve the opportu,
mites which it extends TO all classes
of people.
"The elevation of our institu.
tions is measured by public senti
ment, and they will never rise above
it"

their guard against this woman and

house, and carried samples of dry
goods and notions She claimed to
sell them at reduced rates, and
fOund many customers, who were
allowed time to pay. The goods
were to be shipped in ten days. In
every case she obtained small
amounts of money in part payment,
but the goods have not materialized.
This is the third swindle perpetra-
ted on the unsuspecting citizens of

CONVENTION POSTPONED.
United Garment Workers ot America VIII
 Not Meet Today
WHY2

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Nov. 13.-The National convention of the United Garment Workers of America, which
 was to have been held in this city today, has been indefinitely post poned, General Secretary Reichers announcing that this action is taken at the request of local unions which are unable. owing to the hard times, to pay the expenses of delegates. Owing to the fact, however, that several unions have recently de- manded an investigation of the of fieial conduct of the General Secre- tary, it is generally believed that the postpOnement was decreed in order to escape the scrutiny of an inyesti- gating committee. 1t is charged that in several instances, notably in the case of the Rochester union, that Reichers has organized local unions merely for the purpose of having boycotts removed, and that as soon soon as the ban of the Organiza- tion was removed the manufacturers would again resort to the sweat shops. If Reichers is in league with the clothing manufacturers the mem bers of the union say they want to know it. A movement is on foot now that the National gathering is postponed. to institute an unofficial investigatiOn.
