The Children's Day service of the
NJ. E. Sabbath school was a complete
success on last Sunday. The day was
fine and the attendance large. All
the children performed their parts so
well that there is no room to particu
larize but we accord them equal praise
The Superintendent may well feel
proud over the success of the first pub
lie entertainment of the school. The
teachers and parents are also to be
congratulated. We hope to have the
pleasure of another treat along the
same line in the near future. The col
lection taken up at the close of the
services amounted to $3.50.
Dan Mosser is getting up Fourth
of July picnic to be held in West S

Most of our people who have been

d. Collier, through his attorneys, G.
S. Hamill and Thomas j. Peddicord,
filed a petition in the circuit court
for writ of mandamus to compel the
clerk to issue license to him to sell
liquor in District No. 2. The object
of the proceedings is to test the valid
ity of the act passed last winter pro-
hibiting the issuing of license to sell
liquor in said district. Judge Boyd
passed an order directing the clerk to
show cause why a writ should not
issue and set it for hearing on Thurs
day June Goth. The matter
[ attracts a great deal OF interest
throughout the county.

b. A. RICHMOND FOR CONGRESS.
A Prospective New Figure in the Sixth
District Contest.

District Contest.
Mondays Baltimore Ne1CS says:
sixth District Republican politicians
have been in town in considerable
numbers during the last ten days, and
the politics of that section has been
the subject of informal conferences at
the Carrollton Hotel, where Mr.. Benz.
A. Richmond, of Cumberland, has
been the central figure of the crowd.
A strong desire has been expressed to
have Mr.. Richmond become a candi.
date for the Congressional nomination
but this gentleman has evinced a de-
cided Discrimination to enter the fight
In speaking of the matter, Mr.. Rich.
mond says that he favored the nomi.
nation of Mr.. A. NJ. Gould of Mont.
gomery county, although many of his
friends assert that when the time
comes to hold the primaries he will be
in the fight.
Frederick county republicans who
have been in town recently have been
unsparing in their criticisms of the
friends of Judge John G. Motter, who,
they say, are persisting in dragging
the Judges name into the contest as
an active factor in their local politics,
They say that the fact that Judge
Motter is now on the bench precludes
him from taking any active part in
the campaign, and that, as the Judge
is not candidate for Congress him
self, his old followers have no right to
drag his name into the contest as an
active supporter of any other candi-
date.
The contest in Montgomery county
between the partisans of Congressman
John Mcdonald and Mr. Ashley NJ.
Gould is said to be one of the most ex-
citing that has ever taken place there.
The outlook appears to be doubtful,
as both sides claim to be in the lead.
state Senator Ravenscroft's sup
porters are expected to carry Garrett
county for him. DR.. Ravenscroft's
friends say that he will not be can
didate himself, but will use his influ-
ence against Congressman Mcdonald
in favor of Mr.. Richmond, should the
latter decide to enter the fight.
sin Washington county, the out
look appears to be favorable to Judge
Edward Stake, although the friends
of Mr.. Alex. R. Hagner say that he can
win at the primaries, should he decide
to make fight.
THE friends of Senator George l..
Wellington and Senator-elect Louis E..
McComas say that those two gentle
men have agreed to keep their hands
out of the fight and allow the several
candidates. to work their own salvation
or defeat by themselves. Mr.. Gould's
friends, on the other hand, say that
Judge McComas will back him, and
that when the time for action comes
along, both Messrs. Wellington and
McComas will be found working for
him with all their influence"

in his corn-crib, doing good duty
yet, that were in the old Jesse p.
Murrell school-house, when he
taught school at the old Mt. Zion
church, about half a century ago.
The logs are still as perfectly sound,
although they are said to be seven
ty-hve or a hundred years old, as
the day they were felled.

unless the people of HopkInsvllle
want it bad enough to pay the
nall sum of ten cents a week, IT
will not be run longer than is nee

have therefore decided to make
the daily an experiment and le,
its future depends upon circum-
stances. Ifitpays we will keep go
ing, if it does not, we will continue
to run the semi-weekly as hereto
fore and leave the daily field to 9th

advance and to carry out this idea
we have withdrawn the annual
subscription rate for the paper. Ii
the daily is properly patronized, it
will stay with you. If not, it will
quit as soon as we have shown what
might be done in daily journalism
