Yesterday afternoon while all the
heads of the West Virginia Glass Co.,
and different managers of the several
departments were present. they all as
semhled in the office, while head book
keeper, Mr. A. w Kerr. was bus " en-
gagged at work. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Kerr has recently accepted a
position as general Office manager a.
the Northwood Glass Works, at In
diana. Pa. These men all assembled
and Mr.. Kerr paid little attention to
them, until one of the men approached
him, and stated that they had learned
Of his promotion and realized t a..
while he was here, he had fully reoog-
nized all factions of the workmen, and
had treated all in equality and that the
people under him had fully appreciated
his honest efforts, and that in behalf
of his true standing they wished him
to remember them by their gift of a
handsome gentleman's ring set with
rubies. Mr.. Kerr was at a loss what to
say and was deeply affected. He cor
daily thanked the men for this val
liable gift. and wished all success in the
future. The men particularly enjoyed
his appreciation of the gift. and al
shook hands with him, and wished him
success in his new position.
County politics seems to be worrying
the Republican candidates. although at
the start of the campaign they relied
on their majority and said the sore
head taxpayers could easily be brought
into line, but so far they have failed,
and the public is asking why the in
crease of taxes, and further why Trey
do not pay off the debts of the court
house? The taxpayers realize that a
political ring is in control and that at
conventions they will promise any old
thing that all the time taxes grow
higher and they charge all this to
the last Legislature. Every citi-
zen, who will carefully look over the
expenditures of this county. and can
say that they will vote the Republic
can ticket. thereby place themselves on
record, as believers in high taxation.
