The old nurse of Cecil Rhodes tells some
interesting stories of the celebrated Eng

that in his case the child was the father of
the man. He was constantly getting into
trouble or all kinds. Having been scolded
by his mother one morning while he was get

with nothing on but his night shirt. and ran
around the grounds. chased by the entire
household. Finally he succeededin climbing
up high wall and refused to come down

him.

above the Republican pole recently
raised there, and "Old Glory" was
hoisted to the breeze amid the
cheers of the multitude. A large
crowd OF Republicans, many of
them carrying heavy load of hard
cider were there to interrupt the
proceedings and witness the failure
Of the pole raising, as they expect

attorneys l.. V. Keck and Oscar Il.
Campbell, of Morgantown, who
spoke till five o'clock on the issues
OF the campaign. The most nota

speech of Ray Rohr, the chairman
a boy about twelve years of age and
son of Cal Rohr.
That night rousing big meeting
was held at the North Union School
House, about five miles from there.
Uncle Jimmy Carroll was chairman
OF the meeting, which was addressed
by j. Siidell Brown and e. Il.
Reppert, Of Kingwood. The house
was crowded, and nearly all Repub.

that he went home sadder and a

MRS. JOHNSON AT HOME.

before and nothing is too bitter for
them TO say about her. She left
