David Hathaway will move in.
to his new home in a few days.

Mr.. Hughes.
A. Gum has retired from the
mercantile business at Mt. Zion,
and Ray Stemple is using the
yard stick. Here's wishing him
good luck in his venture.
While at Court we were well
pleased 10 meet our own Honest
John Hamilton, Congressman
from the 4th District. 1t takes
more than a seat in Congress to
spoil John, who was the same
pleasant, affable gentleman as of
yore,
And we heard Mr.. Dillon Law
his claim before the people for
Governor Mr.. Dillon is a nice
talker, but he certainly presumed
that the people Of this county
did not read and observe. He
stated that he was at the head
of the Dawson tax laws, and
that the Republican party had
done SO much for the educational
interests of West Virginia. Is it
not a fact that many counties of
this State can not have the mini
mum six months school? Not
because the people are opposed
to free schools, but because they
are not allowed to lay the levy
high enough to raise the necess-
airy funds. Then does it not
seem strange that the State Sup.
erintendent of schools should lay
down a certain book and say "by
this you stand or fall" on The
ry"" 1t makes no difference
what other books you may have
read on Theory and Art, you
must read Colgate. Why? Il
am interested in the sale" The
Republican party is and always
has been party Of greed and
graft, party of classes against
the masses. If Mr.. Dillon should
ever visit the county again let
him remember that the PEOPLE of
Calhoun are the peers Of any PEG
pie on earth. Though we may
have no railroads We have brains
and use them.
We were not disappointed in
Judge Moss when he said he was
protectionist and in favor of
an honest dollar. Every one
favors an honest dollar. But
when you go to buy the things
the laboring man uses, you lay
down your honest dollar" and
pick up GO cents worth Of bread
and pay 40 cents for ''protec-
tion," does that look good to the
Ilaboring man? No! what we
want are conditions under which
a dollar will buy 100 cents
worth of the necessaries of life.
Again does Judge Moss think
that the people of the 4th District
are imbeciles when he paraded
his idea in regard to good roads?
Why, Judge, there are 25 or 80
such bills already before Con-
gross. If you expect to fool the
people of Calhoun, you will have
to get something new.
Don't you worry, Judge, John
NJ. Hamilton will look after the
18th District. And we are all
justly proud Of the record he has
made. We venture the assertion
that there has not been a more
able man in Congress since the
days Of John e. Kenna.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we see the
two Ais are ready to smite each
other hip and thigh. Remember
this is a friendly tilt, and each 50
conduct your campaign that there
will be no sores to heal. There
are a few things we remember
and may tell you some Of them
bye and bye. Here is one now
AL HardmaD, Sr., has always
stood by his people and friends
in every primary and convention
since he was a voter and when
the ticket was made up always
