April up in the nineties.
Warm, warmer, warmest.

April up in the nineties.
Warm, warmer, warmest.
Our warmest friend is the aspirant
for Office. Be sure before you promise
your support that he will use his best
efforts for the interest, advancement
and development of our beautiful and
progressive city. This is a year in
its history when much more is needed
beside the reception of salary. If
you find any Of them have not given
their assistance toward the upbuild-
ing of the Queen City of the Shenan-
doah, they are enemies to progress,
parasites in the community, working
for and in the interests of the pay
they get, and nothing more Them
selves first. last and altogether,
though it be detrimental to all other
interest productive Of good results.
We say put forward your best and
most intelligent men in the county
as well as in the municipal election,
those not in ring or combine, who
respect principle more than money,
and who have the manhood TODD their
duty.
There's a call upon the housetop,
an answer from the plain, There's
MARBLE in the sunshine, a twitter in
the rain, and through my heart at
sound of these, there comes name
less thrill, as sweet as odor to the
rose, or vendure to the hill, and all
these lovely mornings my heart pours
forth this strain, God bless the dear
old robins, who've come to US again.
Stinginess is perverted economy
We read of man once who was so
afflicted with stinginess that he com

to drive English sparrows from the
lettuce bed.
Our sympathy is extended to Mr..
Samuel Brantner and lady in the sud-
den death of their adopted daughter,
nice, bright, intelligent little girl
of five summers. Shortly before her
demise she was playing with her as
sociates, apparently in good health.
But the monster invaded that pleasant
abode and the infant bud was called
to paradise to bloom in that heavenly
land where affection and death are
unknown, where no sorrow comes,
and joy and peace are never ending,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Considerable complaint is being
made by some of the citizens of North
Martinsburg about certain sidewalks
adjacent to saloons being continually
blocked by persons at night fall The
profane and vulgar language used IN
til late hour in the night, with an
occasional intoxicated person to, if
possible. make night more hideous
by their vile imprecations. Some
thing Is wrong, or some persons are
not doing their duty If we were to
ask for the publication of an article
handed to US recently, some persons
might be amazed, as we'll as ashamed
of their record as portrayed on paper
by lady resident. But we withhold
further comment with the hope that
good behavior will increase, and
this boisterousness, vulgarity and
profanity will decrease. 1t is a be-
havior that always was below par.
1t should be buried, and never res
directed.
At present writing the hot wave
has become somewhat disfgured. In
conversation with a gentleman in
reference to the extreme warm wealth
er the past weak, he remarked: This
is the hottest April we have had for
eighty years. Well, this statement
may be correct, but we are entirely
too youthful to know it from expert
ence.
The B. & o. pay car visited our
city on Tuesday, to increase the f.
nancia1 feelings of the railroad boys.
Perhaps we all like money, though it
is said to be the root of evil. The
young folks sometimes prefer diff
ferent kind of money, better known
as matrimony.
Some of the aspirants at the con-
vention at the Court House on last
Monday night must have been entire
ly ignored. Well just cross over and
help the other fellow 1t might be to
your advantage. See? RALF.
