IT isn't with any degree of pleasure
that a newspaper man prints news
which reflects upon the character Of
some citizen or friend. Probably more
brain tissue is worn out by thes editor
in trying to do the square thing in
matter of this character than in any
other. 1t may give many people many
chuckles to read of the misdeeds, the
misfortunes or calamities of others,
but to the newspaper man who twrote
it up" it isn't bit funny, especially
in a small city like this, where we all
know one another and where we are
supposed to live in peace and unity.

TOO AFFECTIONATE
Was the huntington Woman With Her
Best Bean.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Oct 20.
A very peculiar occurrence was the re-
suit of lovers quarrel on Eighth
street, yesterday afternoon. For some
time past Helen King and Walter
Dunn, both colored have been sweet
hearts. Yesterday, however, they
had quarrel, and it is said that blows
were exchanged. At any rate there
was some kind Of mix-up, during
which the woman managed to get
Dunn's tongue between her teeth and
bit about one inch off the same. The
wound inflicted bled profusely and
Dunn caused considerable excitement
by rushing from the building with the
blood squirting from his mouth. Dunn
says he likes for his sweetheart to be
affectionate, but when it comes to Bit
ing off fellows tongue he draws the
line. Dunn had the woman arrested.

The general election in November
will, doubtless, be largely affected by
the absence of soldiers from their
respective States, and especially of
soldiers which have no law authorizing
them to vote in the field. Only a
few states have such law, and the
election for these among the soldiers
will have to be conducted at Manila,
Hawaii and the various other places
at which they are stationed, thus
giving our election very wide range.
The absence Of the soldier vote will
be effectually felt in some of the
close States, but it is utterly impos-
sible to predict the effect, as there is
no definite information as to the real
political complexion Of the volunteer
army.

Pocahontas Times.

The Democratic vote in this State
will be reduced this year considerably
by reason of the volunteer soldiers not
being able to return home to vote. A
poll of the First regiment shows that
out of the 1860 men in the regiment
more than 500, or about o-thirds,
are Democrats. If the same proper
tion holds good in the Second regi-
ment the object of the administration
in retaining both the regiments in
service may be explained. Three COM
panies of the First regiment are from
the Fourth Congressional district, and
such thing might be possible as that
their absence would effect the result.

smasmeent to the future student Of Amcri-
