and man who, if elected to Congress
will do much to the advantage of Wing

Statc.-JuIge Huling is to us moro of
a stranger than either Of the other two
gentlemen. All who know him speak
highly Of his talents and Of his dcvo-

Col. Estes is our candidate for State
Senator, of whom no man in this coun-
try can say aught against: Modest and
retiring in his habits, frank and unrc-
served in expressing his opinions, hon
est and patriotic in his motives, posses
sing strong and vigorous mind, and
being a mechanic, he is emphatically,
a man of the people and one whom
they viii delight to honor. His election
we deem certain. Let us in Lowndes
County resolve to elect this ticket.

STATE C6eUentioa.-This body was
to meet in jackson on the Sd Monday
cfSeptcmbcr, but owing to some mis-
understanding, the more populous coun-
ties in the East sent their delegates on
the 1st Monday of the month. The
consequence was that some FIVE or six
counties only were represented and
the whole scheme proved an abortion
1t is hoped, however that the Wings
will organize in every county and en-
deayor to devise some means whereby
they can, at this election act in concert.
