From the Evening World
THE DEMOCRATS rlEET.
Little Business Transacted The Con-
vention a Quiet One and Shiny
Attended.

The County Democratic Convention
to elect delegates to the Congressional
Convention, to be held at Elkins,
Aug. 10, met in the court house on
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
Less than a score of the faithful, from
this city, were present. The hour OF
meeting was not well suited for the
attendance OF business men, and but
few of them were on hand. Two con-
ventions in one day was more than
the court house could accommodate at
the same hour. The Republicans
having the call, met in the afternoon,
leaving the Democrats to take the
morning hour. This will account, in
part at least, that the former were
more thoroughly warmed up TO their
work than were the latter
County chairman, H. t. Cushwa,
called the convention to order, and
with unanimous consent P. H. Har-
rison, esq.,, of this city took the chair
and presided during the meeting.
Editors Boyer and Eichelberger were
made secretaries.
The only business transacted was
the election of delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention. No platform
of principles was laid down, no reso-
lutions OF loyalty to party or candl'
dates were passed, none were offered.
These doubtless will come later on.
The less said now, the less need OF
meuding afterwards. The oracles
have not vet been heard from.
The following delegates were chos-
en-:
Martinsburg Districts. w. Walk
er. H. c. Berry, Geo. w. Johnson, c.
w. Boyer, J. w. Dodd, Tim O'Con-
mel, P. R. Harrison and c. c. Lemen.
Opequon-Geo. w. Miller and
Joseph B. Vanmetre.
Falling Waters-Jacob Seyster,
and S. A. LeFever
Arden-R. c. Burkhardt, d. r.
Hudgel and Frank Foreman.
Hedgesville-J d. Kilmer, Charles
Graybill and w. l.. Cunningham.
Mill Creek-Geo. A. Whitnore
and o. B. LeFever.
Gerardstown-J. w. Gray and J.
d. Stuckey.
There being no further business the
convention adjourned.
In memory of Garnetta Turner, who
died June %, 1898;
Hank hear the raindrops falling,
Little Garnetta;
And the wind is signing, sobbing,
Through the dell
Where you used to love to stray;
But the brooklets ceased to play,
1t but sings mournful lay,
Little Garnetta.
Oh the DAYS are dark and lonely,
Little Garnetta;
Since YOU left us, cen the flowers you
Loved so well
All have drooped their heads and died,
And the dark ming shadows glide
Ever, ever at my side,
Lttle Garnetta.
Do you hear me in your heaven
Little Garnettap
When call you vainly call and
Try to tell
How my aching heart makes moan,
Since you left me here alone,
And the world has dreary grown,
Little Garnetta.
Are you happy, are you happy,
Little Garnetta!
DO the angels sweetest words of
Comfort tell?
Do YOU never think of me,
Long to set my spirit free,
That together we might be
Little Garnettap
JOY! the angels now are calling,
Little Garnetta;
Calling me to join the one
Love so well.
Ali our souls too close had grown,
And | could not live alone,
Yes, I'm coming to my own
Little Garnetta,
HER SISTER NELLIE.

Big Price for a Broken Heart.

Not long since Danville, ILL.,, jury
ordered the male defendant in a
breach of promise case to pay the
competent sum of $54,333.53 to the
afflicted one. Though it is pretty
high estimate of blighted affection,
there is another estimate which, il
not in dollars and cents exactly as
high, yet in general consideration OF
excellence reaches as lofty an attitude.
This is the estimate of the people as
to the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as a remedy for constipation.
The action OF this gentle but effective
laxative is never accompanied by the
gripping so marked in the operation
of most cathartics. 1t is an incom-
parable remedy for and preventive of
malarial, rheumatic and kidney COM
plants, and a promoter of appetite
and sleep.
