An Old Newspaper.

uay copy OF the Bedford Ga
zette that looked good as a relic.
1t is 6-column folio, pages 13x21
inches, and was printed in Bed
ford by Charles Mcdowell on
Friday, October "a, 1928. The
subscription price was $3.50 a

seen in this paper are: National
Republican Ticket: For President,
Andrew Jackson; for Vice Presi-
dent, John c. Calhoun. John
McEldowney, grandfather Of Will
liam McEldowney, living in Bel
fast township, announces him
self a candidate for the Office of
County Commissioner.
At a meeting of a respectable
number of citizens of the East
end of Bedford county, friendly
to the present administration of
the United States, convened at
the Stone Schoolhouse in the
borough of McConnellsburg, Sep
tember II, 1928, Anthony Shoe
maker, Esq, was appointed pres
ident and Eliphalet Smith, a re-
naming Revolutionary soldier,
Vice president-Captain William
Bishop and George Denig, were
appointed secretaries, when it
was unanimously
RESOLVED, That ABNER HART,
of Bethel township, be recon-
mended to our fellow citizens as
a candidate for the legislature at
the next general election, and
ANTHONY SHOEMAKER for Au-
ditor.
George OFT and George OFT,
Jr., executors in the estate of
Wendell OFT, advertise for sale a
valuable farm of 1913 acres situate
in Ayr township, 2 miles from
the town of McConnellsburg.
The Gazette which was for
Andy Jackson for president and
of course, against the reelection
of John Quincy Adams, hands
out the following bit of informa-
ton: I'VE are constantly hearing
something about John @. Adams
gr eat learning his profound
scholarship &c. but his Trumpet
ers always forget or neglect to
tell US that Old John Adams
Johnny Q's father, applied to
the Senate of the United States
for an appropriation of money to
pay for young Johns Education.
The old man gave his son a good
education, in England and then
applied to Congress to pay for
it.-But here he missed it. There
was too much wisdom in Congress
in those days of Roman virtue,
to admit such claims; and Old
Adam was sent off with "a Flea
in his ear" and told to pay for
the education of his son out of
his own pocket, as other men did.
