Everyone is glad to have Jake
back among us.
The Hur school, taught by A.
}. Stemple, closed Feb. 10th, with
a literary entertainment. We
are glad to report successful
term of school for Andrew. Lloyd
Stemple also closed a successful
term of school at Mt. Zion on the
9th. These boys are among our
most successful teachers.
Rev. Hughes is holding a series
of meetings at Mt. Zion. The
Rev. is well liked by every one.
Here's hoping!
David Hathaway, who had the
misfortune to lose his home and
nearly all his effects, is hauling
lumber to the planer, preparatory
to erecting a new home. Let
everyone help little and Davy
will soon be on his feet and no
one hurt. The good people of
Grantsville responded nobly in
the emergency. No more charit-
ably inclined people live than
those of our county seat. "Inas-
much as we have done it unto
one of these, my little ones, We
have done it unto me"
G. w. and A. Hardman are
wintering something over 300
head of cattle this winter, and
the junior member of the firm
can tell if hair is miss ing from
day to. day. "Seest thou a man
diligent in his business he shall
stand before Kings. He shall
not stand before mean men,"
The estimable wife of Rev.
Cell Stout, of Barnes run, who
has been dangerously sick the
greater part of this winter, is,
we are glad to say, much improv-
ed.
Clyde Wilson asks the sympa-
thy of the fox hunting fraternity
in the great loss of his two dogs,
Kenney and Scott.
A. Huffman and Jerome Frame
were buying stock on Sycamore
last week.
We see that two Democrats"
have come out and named their
men for sheriff. Both are good
men and each would be a credit
to our county. And both are
geographically located where the
next sheriff should come from
Center district. If we remember
rightly Center has not held the
office of Sheriff since the days of
John w. Bell and his dog head
orders" Let Center have a
chance to redeem herself. And
it certainly is pertinent to put up
strong ticket. In our judgment
no stronger man can be named
than A. Hardman, Of Maplewood
Farm. Mr.. Hartman was born
and reared in Center district, on
the farm where he and his son,
r. c., have developed one Of the
best stock farms in West Virgin
ia. Progressive, energetic. hon
est, and we presume has done a
greater volume of business than
most any man in our county.
Now there are other nomina-
tons TO be made at this time and
not the least important is a coun-
ty commissioner. We would love
to see this nomination 90 to Sher-
man district, yet Sheridan has
an equal claim to the commission
er's place. If we remember
rightly there was a big man who
had Big Stick" and vociferat-
ed around with his sleeves rolled
up, claiming he only wanted a
chance to whack some ones
Uranium" But when the time
came it was found that the Big
Stick was an old pants leg stuff
ed with feathers and one end
open. Ecce Homo. We have
good and true men in Sherman
district who would fill the office
with credit to themselves and
| honor to the county. Here are
