We have had the equinoctial snow, and Their
the weather became fine again.
Mr.. j. Newton Wilson, that Prince of good
| fellows, was in our town last week greeting
friends, and, by the way, he has lot of them
here. We guess he inquired after all of their
families, &c. Well, he is most assuredly a
very deservingly popular man, and will pol
his share of the vote here at this place.
One word to candidates-don overlook the
man that labors, and wears pair of overalls,
as his vote counts for as much as the Goulds
or Astors, but he has not as much money to
make him influential, that is all.
One of the best political workers we know
here wears overalls and is sometimes pretty
dusty and dirty. LABOR, OH Labor, may the
day soon come wherein thou wilt be re
spected and revered above all else.
Our Squire" W. W. Hamilton, who has SC
long been in office and who filled the Office to
late has been terror to the lawless element
which has led such a festive career around
here, has announced himself a candidate for
the office of Road Commissioner for River.
heads. He is sober, honest, intelligent, ca
pable, christian gentleman, whose deeds of
charity and kindness have endeared him to
the hearts of many. and we think the voters
has all the good qualities, necessary for the
office and we hope he will receive that recognl-
ton at the polls which is BETTING the man.
He has made good justice.
The voters here want James E. Beard to
come out and run for Justice. He would
make an excellent one, and will probably be
voted for anyhow. We trust he will run for
Beard.
Armon Bosserman, a graduate of the Duns-
more Business College. is out as a candidate
for Constable in Riverheads. We can recon-
mend him as a sober. honest, christian young
man and he has lots of friends too, and will
make things hump. He has at his back some
of the best wire-pullers or workers as you
chose to call them, and will be one of the
leading candidates.
We thank God we never held an Office,
have not sense enough, never will seek or have
one, and enjoy seeing the fun in canvass
like we are having, where everything is done
up so pleasantly and in good humor. Go it,
boys the longest pole reaches the highest
apple. Hope you will all succeed in knock
ing it.
The village is going to be overrun again this
Summer with lot of hogs, cows &C., eating
up everything in their respective lines. A
person having such animals, and cannot keep
them from trespassing on the neighbors,
should always let some one have them that
could do so. A good neighbor is not going to
ailowshis stock 10 continue to destroy that
which his neighbor works hard to get. and if
he does, he cannot complain if he gets his
stock hurt, which is generally the case.
Rev. Hanna, of the NJ. E. church, has been
sent back to this work, so we learn. Wehope
his members will not plead poverty so much
this year as to allow an outsider, and one
who is not a professor of religion to pay as
much as all of them toward their pastors
support. The truth is mightier than the
sword, and cuts sometimes, coming and going.
The time has arrived in the history of the
State of Virginia, for the preservation of bust
ness, &C., to knock the present assignment
law out of existence. 1t will have to be done
anyhow, and the sooner this obnoxious law is
done away with the better for the business
interests of the country and let no other
along that line take its place, as no State
needs any such laws.
