We understand that the Wheatfield democrats failed to organize a club, as their man from away off did not come. He was like the God of the heathen, when they prayed for him he was on a visit and did not hear and answer their prayer by sending down fire; but the Walker Republicans prayer was answered, and a club organized. Now we hope that the Wheatfield people will pray harder, and organize a club, then we will have a chance to debate the issue with them. Walkeiiite.

REMIX aTO X ITEMS. Those who had the good fortune to be present at the given by Mrs. Will Shepherd at her pleasant home ou N. Ohio street, last Tuesday evening enjoyed a rare musical treat. Such instrumental selections as Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, Gounods Faust, Overture to William Tell, Schubert’s Home Sweet Home, the Brook and other selections could not fail to please when rendered by such musicians as Mrs. RuDyan, Miss. Walker, Fannie Patton and Master Bert Shepherd. The vocal solos and duets were beautifully rendered by Mrs. M Solomon and Miss Peail Walker. Ice cream and cake was served to add to the enjoyment of the occasion. As Mr. Orson Wilcox and family were returning from S.
