Lord. Interment on Friday at Mt
Zion, Rev. d. w. R Moncure con.
Quoting the funeral services. To
father, mother, brothers, sisters, and
bereaved friends we extend our heart
felt sympathy in their sad bereave-
ment.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given;
And though the body molders here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
When we leave this world of changes
When we leave this world of care,-
We shall find our missing loved one,
In our fathers mansion fair.

THE LITTLE COUNTRY PAPER.

It's not the biggest paper
That | pounce upon the first:
Nor the one that has most in it
That ! want to see the worst,
But the little country paper
From the place I used to live
Is the most delightful reading
That a fellow can conceive.
You read the locals over
With an eagerness and zest;
It's like shaking hands with people
That you like the heartiest:
And though there's little in them
Stlll each name is like face.
And the past beams down upon YOU
As the sprawling lines you trace.
You see the home of childhood,
And the little country store,
And the face of your old sweetheart
In the vine empowered door;
And the old school and your plav
mates
Mingle with the locals read,
notwithstanding some are married.
notwithstanding some are dead.
There's the forest long departed,
And the little swimming hole.
And the past crowds in upon Won
Filling mind and eyes and soul:
And the little country paper
From the crude and distant press
With its freight of homely items,
Softens life like caress.
q. L. Phifer, in Hazen ARK Star.

Democrats Held q Democratic Con-
vention Monday Night.

When the cohorts of Democracy as
sembled at the Court House Monday
evening there was no uncertain ring
in the noise that exuded from the
doors and windows of the temple in
which justice is melted out to all who
enter its portals. From the noise
made there was some question as tc
the origin Of the crowd. Later it was
learned that the Tenth Legion was
there in all of its pristine vigcr and
that it proposed to be heard.
Chairman Dodd called and raped
for order and proposed Mr.. A. !.
Moore for chairman. He took the
chair and said he had hoped they
would have selected an older man
but he would serve. A motion was
made that two secretaries be APP
pointed and party who evidently
felt it to be his duty to second all mo-
ton said: Il second that there. too. .
Mr.. Dodd suggested the two Demo-
cratic editors by selected and Messrs.
Boyer and Eichelberger were named.
Jesse Brilliant moved that the chair
appoint two tellers. One who was
posted suggested that Jesse would
better wait until tellers should be
needed. Jesse subsidized.
Nominations were declared to be ia
order and d. G. Westenhaver. Esq,
in neat speech nominated Dir. w.
I. Henshaw. Among other thing
he said that the people demand bet
ter administration of financial affairs
and they have come to us in CITY.
State, and Nation He did not refer
to Growers bond sales nor Wilson'S
deficit producer. Neither did he
deign to mention county matters.
1t might not be amiss to note Just
here, by way of parenthesis, that the
convention now gave every indication
that it was packed from stem to stern
and that there was some distrust as tc
what the result might be. There
were cries of "Henshawr' Hen
shawl "Votel" ''Votel' etc.
Mr. Dodd insisted that they should
go slow and give all chance.
Editor Eichelberger who had been
coached tor the occasion by the well
known Woman Suffrage Prohibi-
ton" politician, Mr.. Chas. Getzen-
danner, of Jefferson, rose in lis place
and told how up in cd Virginia he
had heard man say be was from the
tenth Legion, and Tonight | come
from the cohorts of the Tenth Legion
of Democracy, the thiid ward to sec
ond the nomination of DR.. ferries Of
sit down, Z" sit down ''Henshaw
sit down, sit down" ''cut it
short, but he would not sit down
until he had said his piece as he was
not too full for utterance. 81 ask
Democrats to support him. l appeal
to you to support him. You will
never regret it. Then he sat down.
A motion by Mr. Criswell, seconded
by a score was ignored while Mr..
Dodd insisted that if anyone wanted
to nominate Mr.. Lambert he should
have a fair show; but the thing was
packed to solid and it was no use for
their favoriteto try to squeeze through.
Mr.. Criswell insisted upon his mo-
ton and made the point of order that
Mr.. Dodd was out of order, but Mr..
Dodd had the floor and did not yield
until Col. ]. c. Frazer came forward
with motion to nominate the doctor
by reclamation and it was done.

The Democracy got a hustle on
themselves and nominated a full city
ticket since our last tissue. The tick
ct reads: For Mayor-Dr w. T.
Henshaw. For Council-First ward,
Stapleton Proctor; Second ward, H.
S. Cushwa; Third ward, Frank S.
Emmert; Fourth ward, James Lar
kins; Fifth ward, William Zepp.
The ticket is a strong one and will
put up lusty fight. 1t therefore
behooves Republicans to nominate
the very best men in the patty.

several days in this city to the great
delight of his numerous friends. He
is a candidate fordelegateto ST. Louis

In all the estimates made of the
strength OF the silver and anti-silver
forces at the Democratic national con-
vention, West Virginia is placed in
the anti column. This may be cor
rect, but if inclined to bet we should
not be afraid to risk a yellow dog to
the contrary. While the ants are in
the majority in this county Berkeley
there is doubt about Jefferson and
throughout the western portion of the
State silver appears to have the call.

OF a valuable gold watch and consd-
cradle sum of money while in the crowd
during the Jeffersonian celebration which
took place there recently. The Inspector is
inclined TO the belief that this robbery
was committed by the same gang which
worked tie cars In this city Sunday. They
were evidently experts and secured over

here. A sharp lookout Is being kept for

Contest ed Delaware Election Case
VIII Cnntinue Tndav

VIII Continue Today.
After speechin the Senate by Mr.. Squire,
Rep, Washington, in support of his bill
making large appropriations for seacoast
defenses, the rest of the session was taken
up in the consideration of the Delaware
election case, Mr.. Chandler, Rep, New
Hampshire, arguing at great length in
favor of the claim OF Mr. Dupont to the
vacant seat in the Senate.
The other side of the case is to be sus
tanned today by the Senator from Della ware
Mr.. Gray, DEM, who holds that Gov. Watson
was entitled to cast his vote in the Iegis-
latura, as a State senator and speaker of the
senate, and that, having so voted, there was
no majority for any candidate.
Mr. Gray intimated that his speech would
probably close the case on that side.
Mr.. Hoar, Rep. Massa chusetts, gave notice,
however, of his purpose to address the
Senate in support of Mr.. Dupont's claim,
so that a decision of the question is not
yet in sight.

Gov. Clark OF Arkansas today addressed
the House Committee on Public Lands on the
bill for the settlement of the accounts
between the United States and Arkansas.
He set forth the rights of his State in a
clear and vigorous argument, although
conceding ina general way that the Attorney
General of the United States IN deciding
that the bonds in question would not draw
interest after maturity, was probably in
error. He explained this by saying that the
Arkansas statutes were different from the
North Carolina statutes, which were con-
strued by the United States Supreme Court
in similar case. He did not believe, how
ever, that the State should be held liable
for the interest after maturity, inasmlIch
as Arkansas had unadjusted claims gainst
the government which for years she had been
trying to settle.
