LETTER FROM BRISTOL.


uuent visits of late, and the parched bosom
of mother earth is refreshed, the fields are
regaining their natural verdure, the fockf
and herds, the fowls of the air and the "sonG
of God" al e joyous thai once again they can
Stake their thirst, wash and be clean.
| Harvesting is completed, and the golden
sheaves are being threshed, and are giving
an uncommon large yield OF superior quail
| ity. Haying still fingers. though it is most
~ completed. Owing to the lightness of the
crop more ground than usual has been cut
over, and it is probable that nearly as much
hay has been made than in years Of more
heavy growth. It is the general opinion
that the rain came too late to make good
corn crop, though it must increase the
growth of stalks. Potatoes, so far IS can be
judged now, are we'll upto the average of
other years.
There is considerable sickness through the
county, principally summer. complaints, en-
gendered by the dry hot weather, which it
is hoped Will be rnitigated by the late rains
and more cool weather I paid visit a few
days since to the mineral springs-eight in
number-in this town. and found that under
the dictatorship of j. D. Benedict improve
ments in the grounds and surroundings were
being made exceeding my most sangu!ne
The springs are enclosed by fence en-"
bracing an area Of half an acre, fountains
have been built for most of them, the ground
is being graded and arrangements for bath
ing are being completed. Beautiful grounds
adjacent to the springs have been purchased,
where it is intended to erect suitable build.
fngs so as to make the springs desirable re-
sort for those DESTROYS to test the medicinal
virtue Of their waters. I am satisfied by OBJ
servation, and practical experiment, that
for that most common American disease,
dyspepsia, the water is very efficient and I
doubt not It's use will De found beneficial
in many other chronic disorders to which
flesh is heir to- The political horizon of this
town has been unusually clear, considering
the clouds and storms Of @ Presidential cam
psign that generally dsrken and befog more
profound politicians than are found in coun-
try homes. A noble old Jefferson democrat
that could not swallow the complicated
mixture of Greeley 81 Co, lately received
white hat by express to strengthenhis faith,
ever unto works for the declining star of the
all things TO all men, Horace. The venerable
old democrat meekly paid the express on
the hat, but declined to take it home, as it
would breed discord in the family, his better
half declaring she would burn it, BIT as
'tall trees from little acorns grow" so great
results, sometimes, from accidents flow. The
advent Of the Greeley hat into our quiet vii
.lage, reminded @ certain Justice Of the Peace,
elected by the Republicans that there was an :
other party beside the one that lately refused
to license him to sell Nasty whiskey, &c,
Notices were posted requesting the members
of the "Libera1 Republican Partie'' to meet
at the Town Hall to elect delegates to the
County Convention to be held in Kenosha.
The meeting came off to appointment, and
six of the representatives of the above party
met in caucus and elected three of their
number as delegates to the convention. Two
of the number were officers Of the town,
Ione sAeking for o new party that would
grant him license to sell liquor, the other
looking for something higher than Town
Clerk, one a democrat thai years ago was
an abGlitionist, the others were hoping for
''great expect ations.'' After fqsing into
one homogeneous mass of so many discord-
ant elements, the record Of Greeley was re-
viewed and it was unanimously decided that
the following sayings of Greeley were i'm
proper to be diseased during this campaign.
New York Tribune, Nov. 2. I860.-So let
there be no babble about the ability of the
Cotton States to whip the North. We in.
sist that they be allowed to go. New York
i Tribune, Jan. II, 1911 will do all can to
help them--the Cotton states--out at an
early day. Take all the lhunss Of de5auch-
cry in the land, and you will find nine
tenths of their master spirits active parti-
sans of that same Democracy May it be
written on my grave that ! never was its
follower, and lived and died in nothing it's
debtor. Horace Greeley: The essential ar
f ticles of the democratic creed are; Love
rum and hate Niggers. The less one learns
y and knows, the more certain he is to vote
the regular ticket.-H. G.. If there was
not newspaper nor. common school in the
country, the democratic party would be
I, stronger than it is. There are several
hundred thousand 1aulattoes in this coun.
try, and the fathers of OF least nine-tenths d
! them are white democrats. Every demo,
