held at Middlebourne on Saturday,

held Saturday next to nominate
district officers for members OF the
Board of Education and constables.
There is 10 be nominated in this
city a President OF the Board OF
Education and a member OF the
Board, and also two constables.
Ur;ah Kimble is the only man so
far who announced himself for con-
stable. There is to be another
man nominated and any who want
the position should make their an
nouncements at once. 1t is impor-
tant to all business men to have
nominated and elected two good con-
stables. Politics should cut no fig
ure in selecting either constables or
school officers. An effort should
be made to select the very best
available men we can get. These
offices are very important and
should receive careful and only the
best selections.

Wedding Anniversary.

Last Saturday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. G. M. Mccoy celebrated their
fifth wedding anniversary. The
pleasant affair was in the nature of
a surprise to the husband. Mrs.
Mccoy had quietly invited a few of
her brothers, sisters and other
friends to meet at her. home, while
the poor, innocent husband was re-
quired to attend to his duties until
8 o'clock, when he was allowed to
go home, but he was not in an
overly good humor, but when he
opened the door of his home and
witnessed the crowd present, he
quietly admitted the good lady of
the house had surprised him fully.
After congratulations and the many
handsome presents had been ex-
anined and admired, the happy
party spent pleasant evening
in social amusements Of various
kinds which were highly enjoyed
and will be remembered by all with
pleasure. A plendid lunch was
served and we almost foundered on
good things. II was certainly a
pleasant and memorable occasion.
Among the guests present were
Mrs. G. B. Slemaker, Mrs. Charles
Thistle, Misses Julia and Pearl
Graham and Master George and
Harry Graham; Mr.. and Mrs. J. H.
Mccoy and children, Thomas J.
and Nella; Mr.. and Mrs. F. D. Nc
Coy; Mr.. and Mrs. AS. Mccoy and
Mr.. and Mrs. Friend Wells and
children, Frances and George.
Look down, you gods.
And on this couple drop blessed
crown.

Some people pretend to believe
that there is nothing in the many
reports about the way the soldiers
are being mistreated. President
Mckinley seems to have different
opinion and has ordered an inves-
tigation of the charges. We hope
it will be real and bona fue in
quiry and not a political white
wash. If our soldier boys have been
cruelty treated we want to know it
and we want to know who did the
inhuman acts; if the reports are
false, we want to know that. We
fear, however, that it will be po-
litical investigation and will amount
substantially to nothing.

there is really no trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has lame
back and weak kidneys, malaria or
nervous troubles. We mean he can
cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine
toues up the whole system, acts as
a stimulant to liver and kidneys, is
a blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t
cures constipation, headache, mel
ancholia, fainting spells and sleep
lessness. 1t is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the sys'
tenn to its natural vigor. Try Elec
trio Bitters and be convinced that
they are miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only so cents
a bottle at Hill & McCoach's drug
store.

urging the republicans to stand by
the nominees of the party: When
YOU are asked to stand by Hughes
for the House of Delegates, to vote
for him because he is the nominee
of the bosses, just ask your ques
toner if you have not the same
right to oppose Hughes and bolt
his nomination as Hughes himself
has, when he bolted the republican
convention at Wheeling only few
weeks since.
1t will be remembered that
Hughes was in the Congressional
convention at Wheeling at which
time Hartman and his crowd
walked out of the convention. In
the crowd that in this way bolted
the convention was our dear and
sainted friend Hughes, the lden-
teal man who now wants the re-
nublicans to vote for him. He
will no doubt urge all to support
him because he is the nominee of
a minority OF the dele
gate vote, but he should not try &c
deprive other republicans of the
same right he exercised only a few
weeks since of boiling a conven-
ton when he wants to do so. He
is a nice man to talk party. A fair
and square boiler against party
nominee in which politics cuts a
great figure. Governor as a con-
gresham represents the republi-
can party on national issues, but
Hughes walked out of the conven-
ton along with Hardman and bis
gang because they could not run
it. Now, you are asked to vote for
a bolter. Don't do it. He is an
unfair representative, and bolter.
Vote him down; if you ever did a
good act in your life, you cannot
do better one than to cast you
ballot against this bolter. of only a
few weeks ago. And we believe he
will get it where McDougal got the
brick-in the neck.

We oppose Hughes for the leg

obey the demands OF Hartman and
his followers to the detriment of
all the rest of the county. If the

new charter or to become town
the Hartman gang would oppose
them just as bitterly as they op-
pose Sistersville. There is no
doubt about this at all. They are
