MIR. Ray NJ. Dixon, who for a number
of years has been operator and clerk in
the c. v. r.. r. office in this city, has been
called to the train despatcher's office in
Chambersburg, and left to assume that
position Wednesday. This is great
compliment to Mr.. Dixon and reflects
much credit upon Mr.. Gard, under whose
training he has been for the past three
wears and under whose influence he was
brought up to his present state of eff
cheney.
The Cumberland Valley Company finds
good material in this city for the per-
Torrance of the company's tasks and in
Mr.. Dixon they find exceptionally good
material. He is well liked here and was
always known to be an upright young
man.
Mr.. Rob't Lamon, of the Chambers

place here.

HIS DUTY AS A DEMOCRAT.

AS a Democratic editor, it is our duty
to support the constitution OF the United
States and pray for amendments TO the
constitution of West Virginia; to stand by
the Democratic ticket, glorify the Demo-
cratic platform and swipe the Republican
party, regardless of personal prejudiees,
preferences or opinions. This is our
creed and our hope of the country's sal
vation.- Wetzel Democrat.
Yes, and as Republican editor it is
our duty to show you did not support the
constitution of the United States, but
shot the Nations flag to pieces; that your
Democratic party is as uncertain and I'M
reliable as a drunken man; that your
"swiping" of the Republican party simp-
ly means a little harmless blowing and mis-
representation; that to trust the salvation
and prosperity of the country to your
party undoubtedly would send it hell
bent. Your party is simply adrift-Aoat-
ing on the rough sea of anarchy and pop
ulism, without star to give array of hope,
or shore line upon which to tic up.
Judging from the above clipping the ideal
Democrat is a man who shuts his eyes
and swallows anything that brings relief
who learns nothing, cares for nothing,
forgets everything, takes everything, and
glories in the fact that where ignorance
is bliss, tbs folly to be wise" That's
Democracy

PATRIOTISM UPHOLDS THE FLAG.

In spite of the grunts of the he-auntles
and calamity howlers, and traitors; in
spite of many obstacles and misrepresen-
tations in spite of Democratic opposition
and denuncation, the, old flag floats over
the Philippines, and will stay there, until
peace is established land order prevails.
the Americana Nation owe it to the in
habitants, and to the cause of good gov
eminent and liberty everywhere,to speed
lily and effectively crush this rebellion and
adjust all matters involved. And the
American people will do ii too.
There is wave of indignation sweep
ing over this country which bodies no
good to the defamers of American man
hood, and the glory and honor of the flag.
The party which steps in its way will be
ground to powder. There can be no
hesitation, no wavering, in our onward
march, for it means the civilization of the
world. Occasionally. we find thin-skin-
ned. bloodlses Republican lining up with
the Democracy of Willie Bryan and An
archist Altgeld. But they are old gran
MES, or dissatisfied office-seekers. To ball
ance these, we find democrats who be-
lieve in the.old.hag and the destiny of the
nation.
Rev. Samuel Steel, of Mississippi, a
typical Soutberner, declares;
II am Democrat from the sole of my
foot to the crown of my head, and am re-
cognized as such down South; but it
amuses me 10 hear Democrats raising the
cry of anti-expansion.' Don't you know
that the Democratic party has always fav-
ored expansion; that it claims the credit
for the acquisition of all the vast territory
that has been added to the domain of this
magnificent country There is just one
way to explain this Democratic opposi-
ton to expansion-the administration fav-
ors it, and the Democrats are opposed &c

1.-The negro and the Sunny South Is
the title to new book, the author OF
which is Prof. Samuel c. Gross, Of Nor
gan county. well known to our citizens.
1t is an eloquent, able, defence Of the ne
gro, and is written in catchy, breezy
style, showing great familiarity with the
subject His position is perfect equality
and fairness before the law. The work
is far in advance of the times, thrilling in
many particulars, and will no doubt bring
down upon the head Of its author the Sc
verest criticism. Anyhow, he shirks not
his task, but prunes away many par
tieles of decayed matter on thebody polite.
He seems able to defend his position, and
we predict, will soon be surrounded by
valiant foes to tie his armor.

their candidate is member and friend Of

DEWBERRY CULTURE.
Each Fruit Grower should Make -
Effort to Raise mt Leastn
Few of the Plants.

There is no more delicious berry than
the dewberry when is fully ripe Even
when only turned black and noty Yet as
sweet as ii becomes when perfectly
ripened ii makes delicious sauce and
pies that come a. nearly 10 wholesome
ness as pies ever get.
The berries are two or three times
as large as black berrieS and the plants
of most varieties are perfectly harcN.
The Lucretia is probably the best one
ever introduced, as il was the first. tins
variety having been found growing
wild in Virginia by an Ohio soldier
during the rebellion. Noticing it's
good qualities, lie marked the place,
and afiet the war was ended he went
back and got the original plant nam
ing il after his wife, Lucretia.
The difficulty with and chief cause OF
complaint against the dewberry is lite
trailing habit. although its dreadful!
spines come in for considerable criu'
ISM. As there is no rose without
thorn. so it seems one OF the best ber-
ries must have the longest and sharpest
thorns OF any of its family.
With all these faults ii pays 10 have .
few dewberry plants. and usually these
make place for themselves that leads
10 an increase in the original planta-
/ ton. They should be trained 70 low
,rellis or over a frame and given the
very best cultivation, rememberingtha
ii is impossible TO make the soil 100
rich for them. II this is kept in mind,
dewberres will add 10 the value Of :he
berry products of the farm and pro-
duce crops that will oyerbalance any
physical failing its habit Of growth may
| develop.-Farmers Voice
