Explanation Wanted.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In the Railroad
meeting at the Court House last
Wednesday, Bro. Doan, leader Of
the "class," called upon the "Law.
yer from Petersburg" to give in his
experience upon the question Of
taking stock. The answer was,
"call at my Office. 1 attend to bust.
ness there"
The question which agitates this
community, Mr.. Editor, is, where is
''my Office? and whether it is the
room furnished by the county fol
the Prosecuting Atty? We want
to know, you know, how "my
Office" is furnished, and who fur.

had quite a number of visitors the

The Election.

Next Monday is election day. The
Democrats in this township and COR
poration h2ye not yet brought out
any ticket, but we presume this is
only a part of the new "possum"
policy, to catch Republicans "nap-
ping" Let no Republican stay
away from the polls under the idea
that there will be no opposition to
the Republican candidates. They
are all good men and we want to
see every one of them elected; but
the only way to do it is to turn olt
and Uote. Therefore, we repeat, let
every Republican be on hand.

Since we have all got "vaccina-

the small pox, there has been a dis
ease raging in this neighborhood
that the Doctors know nothing
about; it is known as the "Skunk
Fever" and since skunk hides are
worth s1.5O, it is considered "catch-
ing" and very often proves "dan-
gerous." Almost every man and
boy in this whole country have had
an attack, and not being as fortunate
as Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-
nego, their garments all smell of
fire.
Our wheat is injured considerably,
especially late sowed wheat. Peaches
all killed. Farmers are complaining
of the amount, and length of time

vention itself, addressed the Chair
and said
81 do not know whether speeches
are in order or not, certainly long
ones are not. Most ofice-seekers
throw the responsibility of their
candidacy upon their friends. Ny
friends did not think of ME until
thought of myself. [ have no
"claims" 10 present, but have only
to say, as horse:ockies say of their
horses, l am Republican round and
sound, and ask the favorable con-
sideration of the Convention"
The balloting resulted as follows !:
Blair 50; Keech %; Troth 6. Mr..
Blair was declared the nominee.

Rainsboro, was then nominated by

good feeling prevailed, and the Con-
vention adjourned, the members
congratulating themselves upon the
nomination of strong ticket.

uncompromising Republicans, men
of sterling integrity and steady hab-

publican ticket if they do chance to
have a Democratic relatiUe running

stand upon his own merits, for Re-

ticket that he may secure a few
Democratic votes for himself.

township where they have ticket in
the field, show their strength next Mon
day. 1t will be good way to strength
en- our ranks for the great contest mex
fall. In Brushcreek, Penn, Paint, and
Dodson, the Republicans have nomina.
ted good tickets, and we hope they will
turn out and elect all their candidates
We are not advised whether they will
make contest in any other townships
but presume they will in Clay, Madison
and Fairfield, at least, and perhaps in
other townships. If so, let every Re
publican rally to the polls.

J.E. CooPER's COMBINED MENAeERIE
AND CIRCUS.
With the coming of spring, our old
friends, the members of James E. Coop
er's Mensgerie and Circus, are about to
start on their travels. We dislike TO
part with them, because from associa-
tion we know them to be gentlemen of
probity and honor. During the past
winter, the mechanical portion of our
community have done an immense
amount of work for the Company, and
they will leave ,Hillsboro certainly one
of the best equipped, largest and most
beautiful Shows that has ever travelled.
The animals, of which there is great
variety, are all magnificent specimens
Of the brute creation, young, vigorous
and rare, and alone will repay for the
whole amount of admission demanded
to see both shows. Over this depart
ment, Professor Felix Mcdonald, the
Lion King, presides. Felix is an artistic
in his profession, and handles Lions
with as much ease and sang froid as we
would handle tame and playful kit
ten.
One of the great features of the Ami
NAL department is the entrance into the
den of those terrible feline monsters, the
Royal Bengal Tigers, by Mile Pauline
Luccs, the only lady who has ever had
the power and will to conquer and per-
form with these dreaded animals.
The Circus department will be espe-
cially brilliant this season, as Mr.. Coop
er has spared neither expense nor labor
in securing an equestrian company sec
ond to none in the world. We refer our
readers for list of the bright stars that
scintillate in this equestrian frmanent,
to the advertisement in another column.
The Exhibitions are given under two
separate tents, one for the Menagerie,
the other for the Circus, one ticket for
single price of admission, admitting the
holder to both Menagerie, and Circus
without extra charge.
Not the least attractive part of the
days festivities will be the Street Pa
rade, which will certainly be a regal
display, and will introduce to our citi-
Gems Bleumen schein's United States
Cornet Band, musical organization not
excelIed by any band of an equal num-
Der of pieces on this continent.
We feel convinced that these two
huge tents will be too small to accom-
modate the vast concourse of spectators
who win flock to see them on the after
noon and evening of Saturday, April 6.
And now, farewell, old friends We
wish you success wherever you may
wander, and we feel convinced that
Hillsboro will start you off with Grand
Ovation on Saturday, April 6.

support of the present excellent
Liquor laws of the State, which the

Brief and spirited addresses wer5
