Mr.. w. p. PAYNE.

MIR. W. p. Payne passed through
town on Wednesday for a business
trip TO Charleston, w. Va. Mr..
Payn' feels well satisfied with the
results OF the recent election, in
which he took a prominent and sue
c6ssful part in his community.
From the beginning of the cam
pa'gn to its close he was frequently
on the stump, speaking and organ
izing cluts, and otherwise working
to reduce the Republican majority,
whicl he did. His hospitable homo
was the resort of all the workers 10
the community, where frequent con-
situations were held and plans laid.
BILL" as his neighbors Familiarity
call him,is honored and respected by
his neIghbors, all of whom respect
his opinions and believe in his sim
cerity. His labors in the recent
C mpaign were ably secon led by
MIR. (. II. Hartman, a staunch Dem
ocrat, whose whole soul is in the
work, and also by others of the
community, including a number of
enthusiastic and intelligent young
men. 1t is safe to say, that if every
precinct in the county had bad such
a worker as w. p. Payne Walkers
majority would have been very much
lower than it was.
