CANDIDATES..

A few one horse papers in ditferen,
parts Of Mississippi, are discussing the
propnety, and advocating the plan Of
holding County Conventions to nominate
candidates for County officers This is
undoubtedly the most ridiculous idea that
was ever entertained in what the owners
will claim--sensible heads.
We always thought it a small wav Of
proceeding, even to nominate candidates
for the Legislature but when II is nro.

candidates forpetty county Offices. from
