The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-10-28

Miss Vespie Chase, daughter of Mr.. |
John Chase, of HOyes, is quite sick. |
The doctor says present symptoms |
indicate brain fever.
John Brenneman has been visiting
his parents and friends at Bittinger
during the week.
Prof. w. A. Maffett is moving his
family into the Beeghley house re-
Gently occupied by Mr.. Calvin Cup
nett aud family, who now live at
Sang Run.
MIR. A. c. Dewitt and son Arthur
dug Il well on their farm last week.
They struck stream of cool flowing
water at q depth of fifteen feet.
4 party of hunters from Pittsburg
are camping near the old ELECTION
House on the Sang Run road, and if
we are to measure their success by
the crack Of their guns, it means the
destruction of all the game in that
DeighbOrhOOd.
Why should all Republicans Loyalty
support the ticket? Because the
"Grand Old Party" has brought us
good times, and if we want them to
STAY that is the ticket to vote.
MIR Editor, we are led to believe
from the words penned by your very
leaned correspondent from Sang
Run. in last weeks issue OF your val
uahie paper, that he Is still sonno-
lent and dazed from his long sleep, or
he would never have conceded the
writer's accomplishments, attain
laeuts and muscular powers superior
to. or even equal 10 his own, FOR II we
are toiudGe by his pomposIty ana pro
uensities to brag, we would naturally
hot IL
one educated Sandow in the Worlc
and that one himself.
AS a warrior if we take his owl
account of his proves aud deeds OF
yalor, his record surpasses that o.
Napoleon or even Frederick the Great
and more stars and medals should
ornament the breast OF his military
coat than decks the persons OF the
Emperor OF Germany or the Car Of
the MuscOvites
Now, Rip, we DO not ike your ego
tistic sell claim to be proficient il
music, and if you had read our com
municariOn carefully and understand
ingly, if that had been possible il
your present somnific condition. you
would have seen that we did not base
our claims to victory on our owl
opinion, but on the confession of one
of your own class.
We are inclined to the opinion that
il your class had discarded you anC
let some sing who we're refused, thai
they would have come off much bet
ter, and their defeat would not have
been so overwhelming, for your voice
Il you ever had any, has been sc
cracked and impaired by the fogs anG
damps of Sleepy Hollow that il WoalC
bring defeat to the best singers in the
world and destroy the harmony and
rhythm in any class.
Now, Brother Rip, we do not claim
10 be The judge of music that you are
for we have never undergone the long
years Of study and training in that
department of science that YOU have
yet we like it and can hear it at home
At any time, and should it suit oul
convenience at any time in the near
future TO call on the Sang Run class
we shall try to do 50 when you are not
ut home.
And now, il conclusion, we will say
that our ciass's reason for not singing
in the next contest is that they know
that it would not only be Waterloo
for you, but Jena, and knowing as
they do that the ghost of defeat has
ever since been marring your peace
during the day and disturbing your
8!unDers by night they have wisely
concluded that it would be the best
and safest plan net to subject YOU to
further strain.
