Dear Sir-I notice in your last issue
OF the weekly edition of your paper
you notice the political conversion of
doc Garrett" and of course you
meant Doc Garrett Murphy, but by
some error OF the types left off his
family name.
Now we Republicans are all very
glad to know of the doctors change of
heart. and fully believe it to be from
a sincere motive, brought about by
seeing the prosperity which followed
so closely upon the heels Of Demo
cratic defeat.
For these and many other reasons,
l object to having the doctor called
by his Christian name only and hope
you will correct the error in your
next. Yours very truly,
S. M. DICKINSON.

The Norman church probably

missionary operations than it is
to-day. 1t has hundreds of its
elders scattered over the country
subsisting on the people, work
ing without pay, seeking to make
proselytes. They work their
way usually into the more remote
regions, where the people know
least of the movements of the
world, and where they can find
the most ignorant, who are the
best subjects for their efforts.
The beauties of Mormonism and

new NATIONAL GUARD
viii 80 organized ID West Virginia ss'n-

The soldier boys are gone and
West Virginia has no National
Guard. It is true there are the
shattered remains" Of six com
panies scattered over the State
but there is no regular organiza'
ton, and no brigade or regimen
tai officers.
The question naturally arises
will West Virginia have a new
National Guard The law pro
yides for a National Guard and
it's existence is not only neces-
sary, but lmperative.j The re-
moval of many of the staff Off,
GERS and companies from the
State Brigade leaves the Cover
nor without a Guard, which the
law has caused to exist, there
fore the chief executive has no
alternative but to proceed 10
organize a new Guard.
1t is necessary for another rea-
son. Should there be a second
call for troops by the President,
we have no Guards to supply the
quota Of West Virginia, as have
other States where several regi-
ments exist.
To re.organize two more regi,
ments of the Guard without
money or equipment, will seem
like a fruitless task, but the Gov
ernor will likely proceed to do so
anyhow, because it is his duty.
1t will be difficult to get men to
serve when they learn that there
is no equipment for them. or
money to buy it with.
Already dozens of applications
are coming in from towns where
companies have been organized
and who want to join the new
Guard.
AS soon as Governor Atkinson
returns he will turn his attention
to the organization of the new
Guard. There is still plenty of
good material in West Virginia
to draw from. 1t has not all
been sent to the front by any
means.
