The Republican., 1901-06-27
BLOOMINGTON.

Thomas and Coketon plants, were
entertained at Borderside by Mrs. W.
Fl. Brydon on last Monday.
Mr.. Junkins, of Deer Park, was in
town one day last week in the inter
est of his candidacy for sheriff. We
hear a good many Republicans speak
kindly of Mr.. Junkins. Evidently he
made good impression.
The remains of Miss Anna Ambrose,
who died about a year ago at the
home of her parents, Capt. and Mrs.
n. NJ. Ambrose, Washington, D. c.,
arrived in town Tuesday morning
and were buried in the family lot in
the Bloomington graveyard. The
body was accompanied by her father,
her sister, Miss Nellie Ambrose, and
d. Kalbaugh, relative of the family.
Mr.. John Herman, a well known
German citizen of District No. 1,
passed through town on Tuesday.
Mrs. Simpson, accompanied by her
daughter and son-in-law and their
family, will start next Thursday on
visit to relatives in and near Win
chester, Va.
Hon. George L. Michaels, an infiu-
entail citizen and one of the most
progressing farmers of the Firm Rock
neighborhood, was in town on busi-
ness last Monday. Mr.. Michaels is
one of the oldest Republicans in this
district and is well and favorably
known all over the county. He is
not chronic Office seeker, but we
know of no one mentioned for place
on the ticket this fall that could rep
resent the people with better ability
than Mr.. Michaels.
The body of John Williams, who
was drowned last Monday noon, while
fording the Potomac river a short
distance below the B. & 0. bridge,
was found on the Thursday following
in the dam at w. Va. Junction. The
remains were taken to the undertak-
ing establishment of Messrs. Bolden
& Brown, of Piedmont, where they
were prepared for burial. The fun
eral occurred at Lonaconing from the
residence of relatives and was at
tended by great crowd of friends
relatives.
DR.. Kemp, of this place, assisted by
DR.. Shuey, and DR.. Shupe, of Wash
ington, operated on Mr.. Gilbert
Warwick at his home last Sunday
morning for appendicitis. At this
writing we understand Mr.. Warnick's
condition is considered very salts
factory.
Miss Fannie Elliott is spending a
few days with relatives on the Judge
Barnard's farm.
Mr.. Earle Ambrose, an attorney of
Washington, D. c., was in town last
week.
The interest in the outcome of the
struggle between Ravenscroft and
George in their race for the nomina-
ton of State Senator is about neck
and neck. Candidly speaking, how
ever, the Republicans of this district
are not very enthusiastic about either
one of them and would rather well
come a general upheaval that would
bring a new candidate out for the
place and send these two back into
the ranks of the workers. Some
claim that these gentlemen have
feasted long enough at the political
table and they should be charitable
and generous enough to vacate their
places and let some one else go
through the fattening process,
Of course politics make strange
bed fellows and our rivals in the field
often have remarkable memories of
things past and gone and oftentimes
compel one to spend more than one
sleepless night in tucking some disa-
greeable guest under the covers. If
straws show the direction of the wind
and Georges craft is well managed
the breeze is strong enough to send
him across the line winner.
