The County Ticket .

The Union Convention which met at
Ellsworth las. " ednesday, did its work
well. There was no strife or contention,
and the result is ticket worthy Of the
party, and which will command hearty
and undivided support.
WM. II. WINcHEsrER, Of River Falls.
is the nominee for Treasurer. He is well
known as capable business man of uE-
questioned integrity. He returned from
New Orleans but few weeks since, hav-
ing served for three years in the Fourth
Regiment. He was among the very first
who responded to the country's call, and
WIS a member of the first company which
left the ST. Croix Valley. His patriot
ism has no "shoddy" in it. He was NOM
mated without opposition, aud deserves to
be, and viii be, elected by n very large
majority.
JAS. WALsINGRAM. of Pleasant Valley
is the nominee for Sheriff. He is well
qualified for the place-an active, stirring
mau-has always been true TO the Un-
ion party, and should receive the vote
Of every Union man.
JOHN w. VIM is re-nominsted for
the office he now holds. 1t is WE'LL
A capable and courteous officer, crippled
for life on the battle field, he should be
kept in that Office by a ma jority sic nifi-
cant of our appreciation of patriotism
and fidelity.
l.. s. LEWIS, of Hartland, is the nom
inee for Register of Deeds and Clerk OF
the Court. He is q ready psEmsn, an
old resident of the county, and well quail
fed for the place.
Ofthe remaining candidates, Messrs.
You've, TRUMBULL and AMEs, it is not
necessary to speak. They are w=ll aud
favorably known, and each name adds
strength to the ticket.
Let the ranks close up, and we vii.
move on to victory. We fly the banner
of LINCOLN and JOHNSON in this contest.
Ne work in unison with Farragut and
Sherman, and Sheridan and Grant,
Let those who believe in the heresy of
the Chicago platform, that the war has
been a failure, get out Of the way, for
the grand hosts who are for the main
tainanee of the National authority, and
the yindication of the National honor
are coming.

Friends. do YOU realize lit

Do you realize that in these times OF
high prices, the printer is one of the
greatest sufferers in his business
the country7 Do you know that while
the farmer gets nearly double prices for
his products, and the merchant double
prices for his goods, and the paper manu-
facturers more than double prices for the
white paper, that we charge the same
old price for our newspaper and advertis-
ings
1t is even so. We could have better
published paper four years ago for sew
enty-fiye cents, a year. than for two dol
lars now. 1t is true. 1t actually costs
moo to print our paper now than we get
for it. We do not mention this matter
because we contemplate an advance, but
because we wish our friends who are in
arrears to settle up their accounts, which
in many cases are Of long standing. AT
best these old accounts, if paid now are
not worth over half what they would
have been, if paid when due. But we
do not complain; wo merely want you
to pay now. Will you do it?

dying, and begged me to promise her that |
would pray, and read the Bible, and be q

her there and have set out on my journey
