MOLER AVENUE.
Cuttings from our Regular Corre-
spondent.


Moler avenue rejoices 10 the birth
of another unfedged Republican.
He stopped at Mr.. Henry Schsd's.
An interesting event that 10 cleo
ton day excitement was overlooked
was the birth of q baby boy, on that
very day at the home of Mr.. B.
Wright. The babe was promptly
and appropriately named Vim. Nc
Kinley.
Our highly esteemed County Su-
perintendent, James Snyder, visited
Ridenour School, and was well pleas
ed with the Improvement in the
school since bis last visit, which was
joyous news for Lot" and her &C.
complished assistant, Miss Margaret
Smith.
Board of E 'ucation of 0pequon
District, we want to be the first
ones to thank you heartily for the
new slate black board and extra
seats, which we very much needed.
When you open your heart again to
bless US, give US Baker Kearfott's
map of Berkeley county.
The Mckinley and Hobart Club,
at least a portion of it, are acting.
and others are thinking, aud that is
a good sign that matters will be
smoothed out and honorably ADJUST
cd. ''Lot' simply made q plain
statement Of existing circumstances,
and though warned to shut her
mouth and keep from making ene-
mics, she braved the consequences,
believing that il The club had any
honor it would show it. If it knew
all the particulars it would come to
the rescue. Nj. Chas. Rimel sent
in his paper with no subscribers, was
told not TO solicit, as the expense
would be covered another way. Mr..
M. L. Tabler reported also, and
somewhat nettled that his honor
should be called in question, offered
to pay the whole bill, which of
course could not be accepted, as he
has no more right to bear the whole
burden, than the man who still bears
it, beside he too belongs to another
sub-district. Mr.. Jas. Daily, Sr.,
has not ye; banded in his paper, nor
the amount of cash collected, but it
takes an old mans blood some time
to quicken into action, but the last
report was, and we hope it is true,
that he WAS leaning toward the con.
viction that "Lot's" letter was a
| gimlet boring for manhood, and that
honesty, principle and right all de-
manded Of him to walk right up,
surrender his paper, give what be
has collected, and help to clear our
flag pole Of debt.
The Jr. O. U. A. NJ. are reaping
honors all around. TIE Baptists
