HOT SHOT AT A "COR. |"

Mr.. EDITOR. The audacity of the state
ments made in the two last issues Of
your regular correspondent Of this place,
in regard to the republican caucus held
here March 6, ought not to be allowed to
pass without further notice. Has our
bOasted free country got to that low state
of affairs that men of the same party
cannot attend caucus and honestly diff
fer in the choice of candidates without
some self-righteous individual trying to
intimidate them by calling them dishon-
est fools? Does your correspondent hon
estly think she is showing Christian
spirit by attacking us in the way she has
because we chose to support one Of the
finest Christian men in the county for
our candidate? Is it is possible that she
can honeatly say that she is telling the
truth, when she says that we never vote
the straight ticket, when it often happens
that we get every republican voter out,
and there is not ticket scratched?
Cannot she remember when the cap
tain Of those honest, straightforward
fellow was democrat of the deepest
dye2 II she can't her memory must be
treacherous.
Cannot she bring the time to mind
when one of the members of that "grand
old party" who spent weeks in going
over this congressional district,
begging republicans to scratch the name
of the late R. A. Horr from the republi-
can ticketp Now can she not think Of
several who voted with the majority that
do not always walk straight? OH con-
sistency thOuart jewel.

A VOICE FROM HUNTINGTON.

Iwish to say a few earnest words to
the taxpayers of Huntington.
1t is proposed by some to build new
fence, costing several hundred dollars
around monumental park. There are
several considerations why this should
not be done at this time, among which
are these:
A fence of any description is useless,
inasmuch as stock is not permitted in
the state of Ohio to run at large. The
man who permits his stock to wander
from his own premises upon the land of
another, or upon the public domain, is
amenable to the law and may be prose-
cuted to its full extent.
Then, if a fence would be useless to
keep our stock, the only benefit which l
can see to be derived from fence,
would be that it would be an ornament.
l ask if the taxpayers of the township
are willing to go to the expense Of pay
in several hundred dollars for useless
ornament while they are in debt, many
of them for their farms, and have all
they can do to make ends meet from
year to year? Besides, a better orna-
ment than a fence, and tall grass to be
given to somebody for the cutting each
year, would be a neat flag walk. from
the street west Of the park to the school
house, passing near the monument, and
a clean kept we'll shaven lawn over the
entire park. These, with shade trees
here and there, and occasionally flower
plant, wouldrefresh the eye and the senses
and far more ornamental, than tall grass
and weeds nearly all the season through.
It may bc said that fence is necessary
on account Of a few people living at the
center whose cattle are permitted to
roam the streets. Now, this is foolish.
As have said before, the laws OF the
state require each owner Of stock to keep
it enclosed. Then why should the whole
township be taxed to build fence to
turn the stock Of a few law-breakers2 ?
Let such persons be prosecuted as often
as they violate; and In short time they
would be glad to abide by the statute.
So the above Is not valid reason for

L learn that the trustees have quite
large amount Of money at their disposal
in the hands of the treasurer, but that is
not valid reason for spending it for
that which is Of no use to the people.
Again: The majority Of us are now
taxed until it requires all our income to
pay it and if we are obliged at great ex-
pense to fence our farms to keep our
stock at home, we ought to be spared the
additional expense of building fences
around the public domain to keep out
the stock Of those who wilfully violate
the law.
In closing beg the trustees not to 20

public funds until times improve.

IN HONOR PREFERING ONE ANOTHER"
MIR. EDIToR.-The unpleasant strife
that now unfortunately disturbs the peace
OF nearly every town and village of our
once loved country, eager for some petty
office, TO the sacrifice Of time, money,
friendship, and even truthfulness;
prompted me to stir up by way ofremem-
brance, the pure minds of our readers to
let nothing be done through strife or
vain glory.
The pure words heading this little ar
ticle, are as appropriate to-day as they
were when spoken years ago, and are as
imperative to no latter day saints, as
though we had not sinned and fallen
from our primitive purity and exalted
position. The inspired words, 'let each
esteem others better than Themselves"
seems to have been entirely lost sight of
in this day of financial depression an
political corruption. TO be of one mind
and live in peace is now regarded as an
utter impossibility.
Gentle reader, do not regard me as a
chronic grumbler or fault finder. II the
fault exists, as it surely does, it is a
Christian virtue to find it out. The
egregiOus errorswe have fallen into of
packing our preliminaries has brought
disaster to our cherished principles and
most annihilated our free moral agency,
freedom of thought and much more of
speech has been suppressed, rObbing us
OF our dearest bought liberties.
Mans inhumanity to man is as forcib-
ty illustrated today, as it was that day
when twas said, "Thy brothers blood
crieth unto thee from The ground"
Shall we ever again see the good old days
h "whei each can feel brother's sigh.
And with him bear part.
Do not regard me conservative or an
old has been, when draw my antiquar-
ian cloak Of moral reform around me
and sigh for the good old days Of our
fathers when honesty and uprightness
made character, when our lawmakers
sought the relief from under the yoke of
tyranny and oppression, the payment of
public debt, the promotion of public
good, the elevation Of society, rather
than trihing at public expense, precious
time, trying to find out what should be
the legitimate size Of ladyS bonnet at
theater. Shame. Better that they
robe themselves in the mantle of their
record, sitting the ashes Of their depart
ed glory upon their heads, returning to
their humble homes and industriously
pound stone on public highways as hon
est servants of the people. Truly Babylon
has fallen. A. j. 5.

Highest Of all in Ieavening PoweE,
Needs investigation.

That a man could be killed in this
county since last Saturday, and the
party who did the killing, within
the shadow of the dome ofIthe Court
House, and no arrest or investiga.
tion of the causes that led to the
death of young Gillispie on Salt
Creek, is astounding. John She
line who struck and killed Gillispie,
has made no attempt to get away.
He is within easy reach of the
officers of the law. 1t is this tardi-
ness in enforcing the laws, that
makes Judge Lynch so active in
many portions OF the country. Let
John Sheline be arrested on the
charge of murder and have the
killing thoroughly Investigated.

OUIET MARRIAGE.

A very quiet marriage was con-
summated last evening at the resi-
dence of Capt. VIM. ii. Tompkins
at eight o'clock on Kanawha street,
the ceremony being performed by
Rev. DIR. j. G. Barr; of the First
Presbyterian church. The princi
pals in tho interesting event were
Miss Mary Lee Tompkins and Mr..
William A. Slicer. A fow of the in.
timate friends of the bride and
groom were in attendance. The
event was in the shape of very
profound surprise to the numerous
friends of the very popular couple,
who are 80 we'll known in our 80
cial circles. The bride is the eld-
est daughter OF Capt. and Mrs. w.
81. Tompkins; representing one of
our oldest and most prominent
families, and has by her charm OF
manner, bright disposition and
high character, always had host
of friends. The fortunate groom is
from Bedford county, Virginia, ori
glnally, and in the few years he has
been in our midst has attained a
prominent position in business cir
cles and is deservedly popular.
Mr.. and Mrs. Slicer will make
their homo with Col. and Mrs.
Oliver A. Patton, on Morris street.
