PARISH NoMINATIONs-The American party Of
st. Helena parish met at this place last Saturday to
nominate candidates for the several Offices. The
meeting was largely attended, and candidates were
by no means scarce-in but instance did the office
seek the man. MIR. N. Amacker was nominated for
the Legislature by acclamaton; he is popular man
and will make an excellent Representative. For
Sheriff. the result proved to be tie between Mr. Wm.
Addison and Mr.. r. f. Hodges, either of whom would
make good officer. For Recorder there were four
or five candidates and as the successful candidate
had to receive majority of all the votes cast there
was no choice. Mr.. D. w. Thompson is the present
incumbent and has filled the office with great credit
both to himself and the State For Assessor, Mr. A.
B. Womack was nominated. For Coroner, Mr.. James
Parker rece we'd the nomination. Messrs. Womack
and Parker are the present ncumhents and have dis
charged their respective duties with entire satsiaC
tion to the public.
The nomination for Sheriff and Recorder will be
made to-day [Greensburg Imperial, 10Th inst.
