ELLENUALE.

The sad report Of the sudden death of
our great friend and benefactor, John W.
Causey, brought gloom and mourning to
the citizens Of Glendale, regardless Of
their political feeling as he was we'll
known here and greatly admired and
loved by all who knew him. As an in
stance OF his noble motives, it is fitting
TO relate an incident of our early life:
When we labored under the dIsadVan
tage of a weakness of mind, poverty and
afiiictiOn from blindness, a dishonest op-
pressOr prosecuted us with false claim,
and without solicitation on our part Mr.
Causey came to our rescue and saved our
property and our honor. While years of
toll and labor have ad anced our tinan-
cial independence, we owe 1t all to the
Kindness OF this good man, whose mem.
orv we shall always honor. His deeds OF
Charity and kindness shall be his mOnu-
ment and to our children his name and
character shall be a part OF their educa-
ton.
1t is safe to say that something desper-
ate must be done with the bad boys OF
our town. Matters have gone from
worse to worse until fOrbearanCe ceases to
be a virtue. On Sunday a gang went to
the woods near town, where the Reed
Bros Saw mill is located and tried every
possible way to demolish the machinery
by breaking the glass tubes, inspirators,
pumps, and fixtures to the extent OF at
least $50 90 worth Of injury. 1T was I'M
possible to resume work on Monday until
machinery fixtures were obtained from
the city supply shops. Another gang
visited a new house just completed Tor a
tenant OF d. II. Reed, and demolished
every pane OF glass in the building. sun
another gang went to the farm house ot
VIM. Fay, nearby, and likewise SKATER
ed all the glass in the windows and doors
A vigilent watch is being put on these
demeanors of the law and it is only nee
essary to obtain the proof to cause some
startling legal action.
In the Democratic Convention on We'd
nesdav at Georgetown, our friend and
citizen. Dr. Samson, was nominated Tor
Prothonotary. He is one of the strong
est and most able men in this district and
we predict his election, but he has a
strong and fOrCible candidate opposing
him in the parsonage Of Nh. Wallace
White of Milton, and the battle will be a
hard one. We have, however. one con-
ISOLATION, that whichever OF the two can
didates are elected we will be blessed with
good officer. Ii would be disaster TO
lose Dr. Samson for his services as a cltl-
zen and physician are fixture and
necessity in this community.
