We congratulate you, George, and

land in honor of the illustrious re-
former whose star has reached its zen

Wasn't he whopper? We don't
mean the President, but huge carp
two and half feet long and weighing
eighteen pounds Topped into the fish
pot of Clinton Sprinkle and Levi Wei
shance Friday night with noise fair
" alarming. In truth, G. w. Riner
and NJ. S. Tabler's mouths flew open
like caverns and even their eyes pro-
truded and do you believe it? The
man in the moon stopped kissing his
sweetheart to exclaim with the rest
JENNY is it whale ?" William
Welshance had some difficulty in land
ing the immense creature which was
generously given to the two scared
Republicans, who brought it to the
avenue.
Opequon is a humble stream; the
fondest fisher never dreamed, that
deep within its rocky bed, this mon
ster fish was born and bred, but in this
tale SO very true, lesson lies for you,
yes, you Look not with dignified
disdain upon the humble friends who
claim some of you notice, now though
fame has famed your brow and made
YOU feel above the baser kind of metal
You'll find good round iron kettle
will boil your dinner fold better
than pots of purest gold, and longer

Eds. HERALD:
AS the HERALD was laid upon my
table last week l grabbed it with as
much avidity as l would the hand OF
an old friend
Its caption proclaims welcome greet
ings, dissertations of local happenings,
wit and humor. and halls the reader
with the full import of its name. Il
herald to you glad tidings of great
Joy"
Since my last have cavorted little
about country and town. | find that
business is reviving some. The re-
cent rains have put smile upon the
farmers face which he has almost for
gotten how to wear with becoming
dignity. Everything seems to indi-
cate prosperity in that line. Along
the line of my travels some wheat has
been sown and is up nicely. Corn,
while it is not as heavy crop as we
usually have, think will be sufficient
for home purposes and some to spare.
The fruit crop is abundant and a drug
upon the market at this time but will
no doubt bring rememerative prices
before spring.
The farmer begins to feel good, and
whilst there may not be any present
apparent improvement in prices, it is
a good omen and gives life and ener-
gy to all branches of industry.
The business of city is always
governed more or less by the prosper
ity or adversely of a far mer in farm
ing community. which applies to your
own city. l find in my sojournings
among you that the mechanics are
busy-carpenters, bricklayers, stone
masons-all seem to have constant
work at good wages, and prompt pay
ments (anotller very forcible indica
ton OF prosperity. l have never
known Martinsburg to build so many
houses, and good class, too, as are
going up at this time.
The United States courthouse is
progressing slowly but surely with
the exception of one little fall of a
derrick and scaffold, Tuesday, which
did no serious damage. A young
man by the name of keefer was con-
siderably bruised about the head and
arms. Mr.. Jack, the contractor, re-
ceived lick or two on the arms, but
it is to be hoped all damages will soon
be repaired and then things may go
along swimningly.
Some new enterprises have recently
been started up. In my perambula-
tons l was invited to step into the
dining parlor of Paul Strausner, which
found fitted up in good taste and
very inviting in its culinary make
up. l will however give more ex-
tended account of this energetic man
and his place of business at some
future time.
l stepped into the great fertilizer
and implement emporium of Sencindi-
yer, Shaffer & Stewart, and found
them too busy to entertain company
or take drink.
Miller & Sons, i'll the same locality,
are also doing thriving business, as
well as most all others in that neigh
bofhood.
am much pleased with your corps
of correspondents, especially Lot,
whose spicy sayings give her vicinity
interesting reading.
