him will be duly attended to.
ISOur time, this week, has been much
crowded with business, in our office and out Of

able to pay that attention to our paper that the
times require.

was nominated as the Wing Candidate for Con.
gress, in this (the 5th) Congressional District
To those who know DIR. Preston it is needless

deavorcd to fix upon the man, who in their esti-
nation, would call out the greatest wing vote
throughout the district, In the true spirit Of
patriots, they sacrificed individual preferences for
the general good of the cause, and we tiust that
every wing throughout the length and breadth
! Of the District, will sustain them in the choice,
air. give DR.. Preston triumphant ma orty.
