Hello, neighbor Tompkins! In
the spring of 1873 l borrowed 800
from tho bank, and had the pros
pect of a good crop of wheat,
thinking that 100 bushels would
pay it and the interest; but the
crop failed ond / had to renew the
note, and I've been renewing it
ever since. Now 1 have to pro-
duce 200 bushels of wheat to pay
the principal after paying 23 years
interest. The debt to me is twice
what it was in '73, because L can
not produce bushel of wheat any
cheaper now than l could 20 years
ago,
Now that it is pretty certain that
candidate Bryan will pass through
and speak at Point Pleasant, an
effort should be made to get the
exact date and hour and point
at which he speaks, to our people,
that all may learn of his coming,
and be given an opportunity to see
and hear the next President of the
United States. Let the campaign
committee, act promptly in making
full arrangements.
In this paper we publish very
interesting article from the Park
ersburg Sentinel, headed "Hanno-
Gratis and Britocrats." The condi-
tions, mentioned, are the same in
Mason county they are in Wood
county. Every farmer should read
and digest this article. 1t would
be good thing to paste in his hat,
to ready for the gold-bug.
Our little six inch article in
Saturdays issue in reply to the
Gazette's scare article, must have
been effective and bore good fruit,
from the way the editor 'squeals,
and devotes over five columns in
his Tuesdays issue in replying.
Threatening to deprive man of
employment if he doesn't vote as
directed is. a violation of the anti
bribery law, but it is done without
fear of punishment, by some rail
road men.
The hog pen stencil in our
town is subject of remark from
every stranger who comes to our
town. 1t should not be SO.

The rag weed crop is the most
remarkable ever known. In some

Arrangements are being made
with the o. r. r. for furnishing a
special train to convey our next
president of the United States,
William jennings Bryan, and his
party down the Ohio from Wheel
ing. 1t seems an assured fact that
Bryan will visit West Virginia.
The gentlemen who are making ar
rangements for his coming say
that he will be here on the 1st or
End of October. He will go to
Washington and Baltimore over
the b. & o. and will come down
on the o. r. r. to Huntington
and thence to Charleston, stopping
in this city enroute. Extensive
preparations will be made to enter
tain the peoples Candidate" and
the o. r. r. will accord him as
elegant accommodations as can be
procured.

From Fridays Daily.
The Army of West Virginia.
The Reunion of the Army of
West Virginia, at Gallipolis was
we'll attended. Tho parade yester-
day was a grand affair, and remind
ed one of the days of 1861. Many
of the old veterans are bent with
age, wounds and disease, but their
enthusiasm and patriotism is not
abated in tho least. Yesterday
Col. John l.. Vance, of the Old
Fourth West Virginia Volunteer
Infantry, entertained 107 of his old
cammand at his beautiful home
about mile and half above Gal
lipolis. The lawn was handsomely
decorated, and tables were erected
in the lawn, where a splendid dinner
was served the surviving members
ofhis command. A speech of well
come was made by Col. Vance and
was responded to by the old sol
liers. 1t was day they will all
remember to the end.
The parade was reviewed from a
stand erected in front of the Park,
by Gov. Bushnell of Ohio, and
Gov. MacCorkle of West Virginia,
after which both Governors held a
reception. The people of Gallipo-
lis, without regard to politics, have
warm place in their hearts for
Gov. MacCorkle, and the West
virginians were glad to grasp the
pleasant and genial Governor of
Ohio, by the hand.

s'How big is Major Mckinley, Pa,
OF whom the gold-bugs prateH
Is he like old Napoleon, tall,
Or Blaine, so good and greatHn
mot SO my boy, he is not so great,
In body, mind or will;
His greatness only shows itself,
In that old tariff bill. y
'.Well then, dear Pa, please do tell,
What means this talk of goldS
Will he make money plentiful,
Like the Democrats of old3"
'sNot SO, my son, the Major says,
Our money must be sound;
Destroy one-half the currency,
That plenty may abound"
well now, dear Pa, cannot see,
Why people shout and scold,
And try to make the poor man vote,
For Mckinley and for gold"
"Come, my son, have you not heard
Their speeehes ser and-oi oiers
The gold is for the banker,
And the paper for the poor"
"If he's elected will he rule,
BY tariff high or gold?"
cor will Boss Hanna conquer him,
Like Wellington of oldGn
"Napoleon's' "bound for exile sure,
1t may seem strange, but true.
And when November rolls around,
There'll be a Waterloo"

The Pomeroy papers speak in
high terms of praise of Mr.. Me-
nager's speech at Pomeroy. The
Democrat says:
"Hon. j. b. Menager is one of
the brightest and ablest campaign
ers in West Virginia. In the
court room or on the stump he is
able to hold his own with the best.
His address was masterly and con-
vincing and left no doubt of his
sincerity in breaking the political
ties of a lifetime because his con-
science forbade him to aid in fur
ther enslaving the American peo-
pie to the dictates of heartless
money power. He is actively on
gagged in this campaign and is do
ing much good for the silver
cause"

The Populist county convention TO
elect delegates to the appellate court
convention 10 be held in this city next
Tuesday was held yesterday in Zeniin-
ger hall in this city.
Ex-Representative Ruble was elect
ed chairman and P. L. Arnett secretary.
There was not anything like a full
representa- ton from the townships and
very little enthusiasm was manifested.
Judge Sankey who had just returned
from ST Louis where he witnessed the
Republican national convention was
called upon and he made a short talk
I giving his impressions Of what he saw.
When somebody made a motion for a
! commit tee on resolutions Captain John
H Ash objected. saying that every
body knew where PopUlists stood; that
they Were against the single gold stan
dard and the issuing of bonds in time
of peace.
VIII Ayers admitted all that TO be true
but he was in favor of Populists giving
expression to the belief that is in them.
Accordingly the committee was ap-
pointed and they submitted the fol-
lowing resolutions. which were passed:
Resolved, That while we do not waive
our loyalty TO the Omaha platform, We
appreciate the fact that the financial
question is the important and over
sh.adowing issue in the coming cam
paign.
We, therefore, indulge the hope tina.
Ill parties and persons who are oppos-
ed to the maintenance. of the single gold
standard, as enunciated and adopted
in the recent st. Louis Republican con-
vention, may be united to the end, that
true bimetallism, viz: the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio Of
is 10 ], may be established in the United
States supplemented with the issue Of
paper currency by the government, and
the gold standard permanently over
thrown
Further believing as we do. in the 10y
atty and integrity OF the Hon. Jerry
Simpson, as our servant, we heartily
endorse his candidacy for renomina-
ton from the Seventh congressional
district 10 represent us in the national
congress, and pledge him our earnest
support, and,
Most heartily We commend the course
pursued by the Hon. H. NJ. Teller and
his associates for their action in walk
ing out of the Wall street convention.
recently held at ST. Louis.
Believing that il requires a man Of
broad and liberal ideas TO be governor
Of the nttre state Of Kansas, and not
Topeka alone, We earnestly request the
denomination of our fellow tonwsman,
L. d. Lewelling. w. A. AYRES,
Chairman.
William Campbell Offered the follow
ing resolution which caused a great
dead of merTiment:
Resolved, That We hail with much graf
itude the early death of the gold craze
that is cursing our fair land, and we
pledge our most earnest efforts TO the
rescue of our eastern brothers and sis
ters whose fdolitry so vitality threatens
our government esta blished by the IA
theirs. May they soon return to the
domain of reason and common sense
and realize that gold and silver are at
best established by man as the mere
mediums of exchange, but by the wis
dom of the ages are indissoiubly joined

This species Of beggary has become
a common nuisance around the post
Office and the police ought TO stop It.
If a man belongs TO any Of the above
organizations the proper place for him
TO go is to the officers of the lodge.

Right-Then MT. and Mrs. Laurence
Received the Handsome Sum of TWEEN

it Will be Made q Great Event-Other
Plans for the Home.
Judge D. B. Fuller Of Eureka, presl-
lent of the board Of directors OF lhe
Masonic Home, was in the city yester-
iav and with other directors and the
-ocaI committee took fun charge Of the
aew Masonic Home building
The committee Of lawyers who had
oeen appointed to examine the abstract
reported that the title was perfected
The local Masonic lodges paid $1,000
n cash to the committee, who, in turn,
gave Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence the sum
IF s21. 900 in cash for the property and
took their deeds.
That closed up the deal and the Ma
sons are now in possession of the prop
srty although Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
have not yet moved out.
The home will be opened just as soon
as 1t is furnished and that will be in
about two weeks.
The dedication Will not occur until
the last Of August or first of September
Ii Will be one of the great Masonic ev-
ents Of the state. Nearly every lodge
in the jurisdiction of Kansas will have
g. representative present as we'll also as
the ladies auxiliary organizations. 1t
will be a genuine house warming and
&c is not unexpected that some hand
some presents Will be made TO the home.
No officers have yet been selected
and viii not be for sometime. 1t is
probable that the home will be put in
charge Of a woman and more probable
still. the widow of a mason. There are
already over 100 applications for the
place but the committee viii not act
hastily There will be no politics in
the home or political methods applied
to its mana cement. Merit and adapta-
biIity 10 the position will be the only
things considered. It is thought that
there will be enough men in the home
10 do the chores and go on errands and
hence no list of officers will be selected
for the present at least. It will be in
charge of matron who will be empow-
cred 10 employ such help as she may
from time TO time need.
J. H. Mccall, who did 50 much to-
wards getting the home located here
said last night that the strictest econo-
my must be observed in the operation
OF the home. This does not mean that
the board propose to be stingy. The
idea is ITO run II on the principle of a
well managed household.
