Timothy in the Shepherdstown
Independent, assuming that Capt.
Flagg will not hold the Charles Town
postoffice longer than the expiration
of his present term, Ga year from next
April says:
The Captain is serving his second
term under the Cleveland dynasty,
and L have not heard any whimper
of complaint of citizens or the depart
ment that the office was not admins
tered most satisfactorily. His chief
clerk and deputy, Mr.. Charles John
son,is perfect gentleman, in the dis
charge of his duties has seconded his
superior in Office most efficiently, is
popular with the people and an i'm
portant factor in the concern. The
place is nice plum, paying S1,7OO
salary and will doubtless be eagerly
sought. have heard two gentlemen
named who are likely to apply for
the position-Mr. Lewis GetZen-
danner and Mr.. S. V. Yantis, both
active workers for their party. Both
have influential friends. Either, /
take it, would fill the place well, and
as the time approximates to appoint
the contest will be hot one and a
fight to the finish.
We do not know, of course, who is
to succeed Capt. Flagg as postmaster,
but at this stage of the game, and
before the fight Bro. "Timothy,'
speaks of is fair ly on, we would like,
in behalf of the general public and
ourself as w ell, TO enter a vigorous
protest against any change being
made in the Charles Town office
Tin which we are all so vitaIly inter
ested) that will extend farther than
the postmastership itself.
Since writing the above we learn
that there is another Richmond in
the field as candidate for the Charles
Town postmastership, in the person
of Mr.. r. S, Leisenring. Mr., Leis-
enring is both experienced and popu-
lar as postoffice official, and will
doubtless shy his caster into the
ring with much vim. Either of the
gentlemen named would, we believe,
make compete Mt officials. d

THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely.
Worse still. the very knowledge that they
cannot, seriously interfcrcs with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares aud duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.

dilemma; it has done so for moro than score

One of the speakers at the late
Democratic State Convention, Cat a
time when West Virginia Democrats
felt confident of success) in advocat-
ing the nomi nation of candidate
for Governor other than Judge Ben
nett, said that he would have been
for Judge Bennett, but he had some
time prev ious inquired of the judges
brother if Judge Bennett would be
candidate, and the brother said
mo, this isn't Democratic gear"
Wonder if speaker aforesaid doesn't
think by this time that Judge Ben
nett's brother was kind O. staggering
onto the truth in a mild way when
he consulted him last spring.

Aching Joints

Announce the presence of rheumatism, which
causes untold suffering. rheumatism is due
TO Tactic acid in the blood. 1t cannot be cured
by liniments or outward applications. Hoods
Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, removes the
cause of rheumatism and permanently cures
this disease. This is the testimony of thou
sands of people who once suffered the pains
of rheumatism, but who have becu cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Its great power to act
upon the blood and remove every impurity is
the secret of the wonderful cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Our good widower friend "Timo-
thy" discourses as follows in the last
issue Of the Shepherdstown Iude-
pendent:
Ihave always been close observer
of female attire. don't presume to
be overstocked with nicely of taste
in that line, but 1 do claim to be Il
judge of what is pretty and becom-
ing, &c. No, just have to say (and
l don't want your lady readers to go
into conniptions about it) that the
present styles of dress are very be-
vito hing and place the fair wearers
on a high vantage ground as heart
smashers, masculine wooers etc.
There is that in the balloon sleeves,
tidy head gear, the banging of the
hair in front and knotting behind, and
with all the graceful carriage, &C.,
that makes them just lovely, quite
irresistible. Well, l wont say, any
thing more on that line, lest L be
thought little off. We have lots of
the above type in Charles Town.
