Sale of the Linch Lands,

The sale of the Linch lands took
place on Monday, the various prop
critics bringing $24,100. The larg-
est buyer was Calvin Morris who
bid in the Dent farm at $l2,350
VIM. A. Thorn took the ~ acre dow.
er tract at 81, ZOO Dave d. John
son bid in two other tracts for the
Baptist Home Missionary Society at
$4,000. The widow taking the re-
mainder at $50 per acre.
1t will be remembered that Mr.
Linch's will bequeathed nearly all
his property to the Baptist Home
Mission Society and to the West
Virginia Baptist Educational So
ciety. The widow broke the will
thus securing one-third of it. AT
ter securing her share the balance
will be equally divided between the
two societies.
The sale of the 4. j. Evans land
fixed for the same day was post
poned until the 18th of October on
account of insufficient bids. This
is valuable property and it was
thought best not to sacrifice it.

The first meeting of the Free Sill
yer Club of this place was marked
success. There was good attend
ance Of Democrats and many Re
publicans. The next meeting takes
place tomorrow Thursday evening
and an invitation is extended to all
who feel an interest in this question
to attend. A large crowd is expect
ed. There will be an election of
permanent officers and chance for
all who desire to join the club to do
so.
HENRY ST. CLAIR will have charge
of the Ordnance Department of the
University. He was for thirty years
one of Uncle Sans gallant defend
ers and was retired last November
on half pay. He rose by merit to the
honorable position of Ordnance Ser
geant, one Of the highest offices at
tainable by the volunteer soldier.
We gladly welcome him to our town
and have no doubt that the cadets
will..greatly profit by his prece pit and
example.
The Republicans and Democrats
were to build speakers stand, each
paying half for use in this campaign.
The stand was built and the Demo
Gratis are ready to pay their share of
the expense, but they were notified
that the stand had been promised to
the negroes for their celebration,
Sept. 22nd. This conflicts with the
Democratic celebration and is a VIC
lation of faith but such little thing
as that don't cut any figure with the
repu BIS.
The official board of the M. E.
congregation, OF this place, are con
sidering the question of building a
new church. Several plans have been
proposed for beginning the collec-
ton of fund for that purpose. A
meeting IL announced for this eve
ming at which something may be de-
cided that will give shape to the
matter. Some of the members are
in favor Of building on the site Of the
present building while others think
It better to sell that and buy a site
farther up town.

The first grand rally. after much
advertising and drumming, has re,
suited in one Of the fattest, most
dismal failures imaginable. There
were to have been several speakers
of national reputation here; pole
raising and a thuse that would show
the benighted democrats in this
neck O woods how heavily gold this
county was, but their plans all mis-
carried or resulted in fizzles. The
band accompanied by few citizens
were at the depot to meet the states.
men, but no statesmen appeared and
the procession moved back to the
court house square taking As sec
onds to reach it. The band PLACED
all morning to keep the Disguised
people who were here from going
home and, after several unsuccss-
full attempts the pole was raised.
Three cheers for Mckinley were pro-
posed and given by few enthusiasts
whose enthusiasm held out until
they had given two of them The
speaking took place in the afternoon
at / o'clock. The Hon. Geo. c.
Sturgiss speaking to occupy the
time until the star, Judge Lansing,
should appear, he having driven
from Fairmont after missing his
train. Mr.. Sturgiss' speach was a
very good address, much more sen
sible and logical than his successor.
AT last the attraction arrived and
Mr.. Sturgiss had to subside. The
much %advertised Nebraskan was
one Of the most blatant demagogues
that ever faced a Morganeown an
dience and his feeble attempts at
humor fell painfully flat He did
not attempt to argue the questions
involved in the present election but
resorted to the most contemplate
filings at Mr.. Bryan and the Demo
cratic party.
The speech did great deal for
the cause of free silver here as more
than one man turned away disgust
ed with it. If it is sample of what
he deals out over the State the
democrats should make an effort to
have him in every county in the
State. The vast outpouring that
was expected did not outpour to
any greal extent. The free bridge
did not tempt them; the array of
spell binders did not bring them out,

MUsGRAvE's CASE REsUBMITTED.
Court Of Appeals not Likely to Grant a
New Trial.

Judge Okey johnson was recent.
ly in Charleston ON legal business.
While there he submitted memoir
ial ON the death of the late Judge
A. G. Snider which was entered on
the record of the court. He also re
argued the case of the State of West
Virginia VS.. David Musgrave for
Musgrave and the case was again
submitted to the court. They have
already refused the motion. As the
opinions of the court, although by a
divided court, were very strong it is
not expected that any change OF
moment will be made, consequently
the new trial will not be granted.
Probably if another trial could be
had there would not be such strong
public sentiment against him and it
might result differently.
