A Genuine Surprise.

Over 100 friends and neighbors of Mr..
and Mrs. S. P. Pinney gave them a
surprise party last Tuesday evening.
The people having met at the vestry,
marched to the house in body and

headed cane and ring, to show the

ice-cream was served, music was furnish
ed by the male quartette and all had a
good time generally.

their luck. More and still more
are planning for an outing later.
For those who go chiefly for the
outing the Ohio is all that is nee
essary, where an occasional bass
may be caught, and more often
the jack, but for those who want
fishing, where skill and cunning
must be shown at their best
against instinct, one must go off
to the mountain streams of the
Eastern part of the State, and
probably best of all to the South
Branch. According to the tales
of the fishermen who are accus-
toned to 60 there every year there
is no better place in the country
for bass, big gamey fellows, the
mere sight of which whets ones
desire for rod and tackle.

With the opening of the bass
season, that really means the fish
ing season in this part of the coun-
try, the followers of Isaac Walton
are, beginning to think of certain
cool shaded pools away in the
mountain streams, and many's the
tale they have to tell of the big
fish they've caught there by force
of much skill and cunning. Be-
ing fish stories, it is, of course, not
expected that they are going to be
believed, but there is a certain
amount of satisfaction derived
from the mere telling of them that
is sufficient justification for the
stories.
There are many ardent fisher
men in Sistersville and many of
them have already been out to try

c. J. ALLEN
FOR SHERIFF

as none of the candidates from
that district were on the Red
Ticket combine. The party men
out there do not take kindly to
this, and have personally solicit
ed Mr.. Allen to become a cand-
date.
Mr.. Allen some years ago made
the hopeless fight of trying to de-
feat G. Engle for Circuit Court
clerk That was hopeless fight
but in order to keep up the party
organization he filled the place on
the ticket, ran ahead of his party
ticket and he naturally feels as if
he was entitled to some reward
for this sacrifice. He worked hard
in that campaign and made a good
fight, He asks the people to come
to the convention and if he can
not show he is the strongest candl-
date he does not want the nOml-
nation. Mr.. Allen is now can
vassjng the county, and is in the
city today. He is a strong candi-
date and a pleasant gentleman to
meet and is competent to fill the
office with credit to himself and
his friends.

The announcement of C. J. Al
len of Bradens Station, McElrpy
district, in this county, appears in
today's paper. Mr.. Allen is a
candidate for the nomination be-
fore the Democratic county con-
vention which will meet in Mid
dlebourne on Saturday, July 9.
Mr.. Allen is a young man; he
taught school in this county for
thirteen years, and taught, in this
city during the winter of 1887,
and was a very successful instrue
tor. He is now engaged in the
mercantile business and farming
combined, owning a large general
store at Braden Station and two
good farms. He is a self-made
young man, kind, courteous, hon
est, capable and a hard worker.
He halls from McElroy district,
which has heretofore always cast
the largest Republican majority
of any district in the county.
Strange as it seems it is a fact,
that this district which polls the
largest Republican majority in
the county has no candidate on
the Republican ticket this year,

The Japanese proudly assert that the dynasty
founded by Jimmu still reigns in the person of
Mutsuhito-an unbroken lineage that makes the
Hapsburgs and the Hohenzollerns and the Roman

Japanese has ever rebelled against his Emperor and
