of July Remarks-LOcal Notes aud
Comments.

HAGANs, July II Another 4th of July
with all its noise and buster has gone
forever from us. Six score years since
that sublime political document the
Declaration Of Independence was sign
ed. What list Of achievements and
triumphs, of changes and improvements I
Will the people that are living in hun
dred years from now be able TO look
back over century of as great advance
ment as we can?
Concerning the birthday of our Re-
public the question arises do we cele-
brate it as we should or as the Revolu-
tionary heroes expected we would? Do
we feel as grateful to the heroes of Val
ley Forge as we should? If Washing
ton and Paine could come to earth would
they find us honoring them and their
followers as they expected? How many
OF US ever think of the hardships they
endured and the dangers they braved in
order that we might be enjoying the
blessings Of liberty? Where is the per-
son that knows what Thomas Paine did
for us that does not feel his blood boil
with Indignation when he hears his
name maligned by some ungrateful ia
matte? If General Washington could
hear the many cruel heartless dema-
Il
into oblivion what would he think We
presume that those who know anything
of Paine or Washington estimate OF
him can easily imagine how painfully he
would be surprised. Should we not give
honor to whom honor is due2 Are we
not taught that ingratitude is the black
est of crimesP
Our farmers have harvested their
wheat which is lighter than usual.
The young orator that failed to get
the nomination for prosecuting attorney
can now study the records of the demo-
cratic governors and thus be able to give
a more truthful description of their acts
when he comes again to Shrek and howl
to our rural citizens.

The young men OF Georgetown con-
tinue to meet with warm receptions on

r. G.. Brock and daughter of Barracks
vile, were calling on relatives here re-
Gently.
Listen, you democrat from Cass dis
trict. Don't you know the Morgantown
Post is sacred? Are you not aware that
all who ridicule or criticise it are looked
upon by the average republican OF this
county as infdels? Then how can Won
dissect its malignant lying editorials so
heartlessly? Are you not cognizant of
the fact that many republicans sleep and
swear by it? lfyou continue to criticise
that sanity organ you will surely incur
the displeasure Of many narrow minded
surplus scatterers who consider them
selves sacred and who are enabled to
pay their dues to that sheet by the as
sistance of the government and not by
honest toll.
G. l.. Shuman has purchased an organ
and says when he gets free silver he
will be supremely happy.
Hello, Vaudeville, come again, and
Beeechwood too. Come often, all of
you.
George Morris, of Barracksville, was
calling at Jacob r. Kennedy's recently.
We hope that that august republican
that doubted the advisability of educat-
ing that brilliant youth that cheered jeff
Davis has recovered and no longer has
lurid visions of southern outrages
A candidate for the reform school or
the penitentiary recently relieved the
store at this place of 500
We wish to say to the gallant general
of Granville that there are many people
in this vicinity who are longing for him
to express few more lofty ideas on in
SEPARATION, prayer, etc. He recently said
with becoming meekness that JEFF Davis
should have been hung and this certain
ly conclusively proves that he is good
authority on devout subjects. His pal
at Easton recently expressed the same
tender opinion. Their sanity sentences
remind us of this beautiful verse:
20 what may man within him hide,
Though angel on the outward side"
