HORACE GREELEY.
The great topic of the day is the Cincin-
natl nomination. The people are bitterly
opposed TO the calling of a National Demos
cratic Convention for the purpose of nomi-
mating candidates for the coming campaign.
They stand a unit against it. Horace is
the only man who can unite the masses
and defeat the great gifSaker. Only lst
the old white hat have the race to himself
with no Democrat 10 break his strength and
the banner Of universal amnesty will proud
ly wave its stainless folds over this country,
bringing peace TO thousand homes where
now reign terror and confusion. The only
way to prevent this nomination is for the
press to continually ring in the ears of the
people the warning cry, Nomination and
Defeat" Prevent this nomination and we
are safe.
CROPS
In this portion are excellent. Wheat never
looked better, and we will have an album
dant yield. The trees are loaded with fruit
Of every kind, and in fact everything IS
promising.
Exhibition.
One Of the grandest events of the season
came off at this place on Friday, May "A.
We allude to the exhibition Of Capt. A. D.
Norris school. During the morning the
sky became overcast, the clouds lowered,
and we had every indication of rain, but
the citizens poured in from every direction,
and by 10 O'Clock the large arbor built for
their convenience, was completely filed
with ladies. The exercises of the morning,
consisting of dialogues, compositions and
speeches by the smaller boys, were amusing
and interesting. In the evening the senior
classes were heard. Liberty" by Mr..
William Mckinney, was well delivered and
Loudly applauded. education" by James
Harris, was a master effort, bringing in a
shower Of bo9uets for the handsome speak
er. Dangers of a Nation" by Lewis Nc
Daniel, was highly complimented. "Spirit,n
by Waller Baird, was loudly applauded.
w. B. Cartwright spoke finely. j. E. Ro-
bertson held the audience spell bound by
his speech upon "Honor and Shame" Mr..
Dudley Lester, in delivering the valedictory,
carried the audience by storm. Truly his
speech was beautiful and impressive, and
we predict bright laurels for him in his fl-
ture career. No more beautiful testimo-
nial could have been given him than the
shower of flowers flung by fair hands at
the close of his speech. LENNON.
