PERSONALS.

Hon. G. NJ. Wetzel, member of the
House of Delegates from this county
was in Shepherdstown Tuesday circu,
lating among his friends, and favored
the REGISTER with call. Mr.. Wet
eel is a candidate for reelection to the
Legislature, and we can say it will be
hard to find more efficient represen'
tative. He was one of the most IN
fuentiai members Of the last Legisia,,
ture, and had the respect and regard
of his fellow-members to such an ex-
tent as to. make his people proud OF
him. He rendered material service
to Shepherd College in securing ap-
propriations, and served his constitu-
snts with ability and to their salts
faction.
We had call the other day from

will be candidate for assessor for this
district. Mr.. Duke is an intelligent,
capable man, good Democrat, and

didacy is subject to the Democratic
primaries.
