is Monday, of the Persians is Tuesday
of the Assyrians is Wednesday, of the
Egyptians is Thursday, of the Turks
Friday, of the Jews and Seventh Day

This is free country. Every man
has right to think for himself, and no
one should fall out with him for exer-
cising his right. A man may be a
democrat or an independent, republi-
can or a member of any other political
party without infringing upon the
rights of his fellow citizens but man
cannot belong to one party and try at
the same time to run the affairs of
another party without nosing around
where he has no business. George town

sun from o'clock till 6.
The young men of Marietta gave
dance at Blacks Opera House on Friday
night complimentary to visiting young
ladies. Prof. r. L. Northcutt had it in
charge. The Fifth Regiment Band
furnished the music.
The Chautaugua gave the people a
first class entertainment for a small
price. The price of season ticket was

The Chinese are committing terrible
atrocities. They have murdered S 900

streets OF Pekin are running with blood.

Now that the county primary is
over, those who got left can console
themselves they have plenty of compa-
ny. All were worthy, only few could
be chosen.
