psoperty, for so many years owned
and occupied by him, and latterly j
occupied toy the firm of Allemong aud
Mayers. They commenced business
on a very small capital, but by strict
attention to business, they built them- j
selves up a trade from the beginning.
and ever sinca havo maintained a large
proportion of the trade coming into
our city. They carry a very large
and attractive stock, comprising Dry
Goods, Groceries, Queens and Glass
ware, Hardware, Notions and Fancy
Goods generally.
Besides they carry a larger and
mora complete stock of "Pure Drugs
and Medicines," than any other es
tablishment in the city.
You can find at their house, almost
anything in the drug and medicine
department.
In the fall of 1879, they had manu- j

The State of Friday contained an
editorial quoting the Wilson confession j
and followed up with B letter of Mt
McDowell, Figgat and Godwin, a* to
how this confession was obtained, and
Mn lo say : "Who is it that con
his eunningschemeand tries to ]
carry it to success, regardless of reap*) ll
either for himself or his fellow men ''
It is a Chronic candidate, to whom
anything however foul, is ever fair.
"Again this Riddleberger appear*
before the country, not afl a Candidate
for any office, from State Senator in
Virginia, to Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Senate of the United States, but a* a
confidence man, trading in the false
and incoherent muttering* of a drunk
en fellowi This bogus confession
drawn out with drink and money, that
.r.'iiii.'.eiice man would have us believe.
The man is blind in his boldness. A
second's thought might have reminded
him that the name of Riddleberger is
worthless as an endorsement of any
statement;" and after commenting
upon Riddleberger'* political course,
closing as follows :
"It is also reported that this man's ,
advice to Blair was, to say that he
never wrote the letters that he did
write, to stick to this and if need bo to
swear to it. Beneath contempt there
fore is any statement that comas from
11. 11. Riddleberger."
CATT. WISE'S CARD.
In the second edition of the Sate,
Capt. Geo. D. Wise published a card,
I.fter quoting the part of the
i in which his name was used
follows : "I shall.not conde
notice Wilson, the correspon
end, and hireling of Mahone,

statements above given, are

Another fire was had, but without
j injury to either party. Then for the

Again the shots were without effect,mid
Mr, Riddleberger immediately stepped
forward and extended his hand in an
amicable manner towards Mr. TPiee.
Mr. lrise, after a few words with his
second, came forward, and took the

I the same time expressing his regret at
| the publication and declaring that at
