BUSINESS NOTICES.
PartOn's Life of Greeley

One of the most interesting and valu-
able of American biographies, is the
"Life Of Horace Greeley" by James
Parton. The life of Mr.. Greeley has
been closely interviewer with what has
been most commanding in American
affairs for more than u third of century
Indeed, this story of his life gives the
reader by no means an adequate glimpse
ofAmerican history for the past thirty
years. 1t is the story of a life that
commenced in the greatest obscurity,
and has grown into the greatest emf
nence. It has been a busy life, the bu-
siest, probably, in the land, crowded
with events, full of brave words and
generous deeds, ald marked by pecul-
iarities greater and characteristics
stronger than perhaps those Of any 9TH
er American citizen.
The subject, therefore, would COM
mand respectful and eager attention,
though handled by an unskillful pen.
But Mr.. Parton is a master. lie has
long been well and widely known in
our literature. He is keen and brill
liant essayist. and incisive and spark
ling writer of English, and a careful
and exhaustive searcher after facts. He
does not touch q pen to paper in the
composition of a book, till the entire
feld of investigation has been explored,
and everything directly or indirectly
bearing on his theme thoroughly di-
gested.
In preparing this work, he spent sew
sral months in visiting the town where
Mr.. Greeley was born and the various
places where he subsequently lived,
collecting all the information about his
early life that was possible to obtain.
It is not therefore, a hastily, lily con-
trived book, labeled 'sLife of Greeley"
but work which will always be the
authoritative record of the three score
years of Mr.. Greeley's life that have al
ready passed into history. 1t. would be
a valuable addition to any library at
any time, but, just now, its opportune-
ness gives it added interest.
II is elegantly bound, well illustratedi
and in consideration of the great popu-
lar demand for the work it is sold for
a little more than half the ruling book
prices.
1t is published by the NATIONAL
PUBLISHING CO., of Cincinnati, who
want agents in every County.

EDITOR NEWS The Corn crop is
about out of the way of frost, and a
good yield has been produced per
acre.
There will be an unusual large
crop of .Wheat sown this fall. The
heavy rains of August put sod, fal.
low and stubble lands in good con-
dition for plowing, and farmers have
not been recreant in taking advan.
tage of the opportunity. They will
make up for last falls drouth.
The recent rains are bringing out
fall pasture rapidly. Farmers will
not have to feed stock this month,
as they did last year, to keep it from
shrinking.
Our s. s. Celebration came of
August 31st. 1t was largely attend
ed: The following schools came in
delegations: Union s. School, Sar>
dinia, Brown county; American s.
s. Union, Dodsonville Union S. g.,
Harwood Chapel; +; Union S. S.,
Pricetown; and Union s. s., of Dis
trict No. 1, Clay township. They
met in beautiful grove, where all
necessary arrangements had been
made for the occasion. The pro-
gramme was as follows:
Music by Williamsburg and Sar-
dinia Brass Bands; Prayer by Ell.
der John Shockey Singing by the
Schools. Hon. s. ]. Murray, of
Georgetown, then delivered an able
and appropriate address, showing
the great work of reformation that
had been accomplished among the
people in the last thirty years in
this vicinity in behalf of the Sunday
School cause.
The meeting then adjourned for
dinner, which the ladies had not fail.
ed to provide in liberal quantities,
and of the best the country could af-
ford. After dinner the Band again
played, and after singing by the
Schools, Messrs. C. Mathews, Geo.
McFaddin and g.. J. Murray made
short and telling speeches. On the
whole, the Celebration was a grand
success.
The Democratic Republican ~
party of Clay township will organize
a Greeley and Brown Club next
Saturday evening. We will then
know how many true Republicans
will join the Club. Old Clay is
waking up to her best interests. A
meeting has been called for the pur,
pose of organizing a Grant and vii.
son Club Thursday evening, Septem.
Der 5th. The Democracy will, with
few exceptions, vote for Greeley and
Brown.
Caroline Bingamou, wife of Sol.
Bingamon, died of Consumption,
August 30th, after a protracted ILL
ness. She leaves a large family and
many friends to mourn her loss.

The CrOw.Eaters Buying Votes
for Greeley - EIectiOneertDg
with the COIOred Men.

LEEsBURG, Sept. 2, 1872.
Mr.. BoARDMAN:--I thought it
might be proper to let your readers
know how the Greeley crow-eaters
are doing over here in old Fairfield.
They are doing all they can to hold
what few Republican sore-heads
they have among them by appoint
ing them TO Office, as committee
men, &C. They have a President
and Secretary, and one of that per-
suasion on a committee, and one of
the committee is a "Niggerl" Poor
fellowl
The Greeleyites are doing a pow
erful business, they claim. One of
our colored voters says that they
tried to hire him by offering him a
new suit of clothes and a revolver
to shoot Republicans with, if he
would vote for Greeley, but he re-
fused, and told it on them.
This "Nigger" committeeman, l
suppose they have him all right, for
they have bought him a FIVE shoot
or. What for I don't know, unless
they think Gen. Grant will send
over brigade to take him to Libby.
They are trying to be the darkie's
friend over here, but all of them are
too sharp, with the exception of the
one mentioned. They have quite a
number of Grant men on their list
to make a show, but all will be
right in old Fairfield in November.

Urging MIR. Wilson's Re.EIec-

The following letter, written by
Hon. Frederick Watts, the distin-
guished head of the Agricultural Blu
reau at Washington, was sent US for
publication by the author. 1t pays
a very high compliment to our can
didate for Congress, which we know
is justly merited. Let every farmer
read the letter, and vote and work

T. Wilson:
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, }
WASHINGTON, D. c. Aug. 80, 1872. I
]. L. BoARDMAN, Esq. Editor
Highland News:-Dear Sir:-My
lattention was directed to your edi-
torial of the 22d inst. on the subject
of the Hon. John T. Wilson as a
member of Congress. Great and i'm
portant as is the subject of Agricul-
ture as National interest, there are
few members of Congress who are
willing to devote their time and
talent, 10 promote or prevent the
many propositions which affect the
farmer. AS the Head of this De-
partment, always awake to all Ag-
ricultural questions, I have never
called in vain upon Mr.. Wilson as
Chairman of the Committee on Ag-
riculture, but have always found
him alive and anxious to care for
the interests of the farmer. Whilst l
have often found it difficult to get a
meeting of the Committee of Agri-
culture, Mr.. Wilson was always
there, prompt, ready and anxious
to know what he could do to pro-
m ote agricultural prosperity or to
ward off a threatened evil. His
visits to this Department, which
were frequent, and always accepta-
BILE, seemed to be prompted solely
by desire to promote the interests
of his farming constituency.
1 do hope that the valuable ser
vices of the Hon. John T. Wilson
may be as well known to and ap-
preciated by his constituency as they
are here, and that for the sake ofthe
Country, he may be returned to the
place of Chairman of the Committee
of Agriculture which he now fills
with such profit to his community.
am very respf'y your ob't serv't
FRED'K WATTS.

Mr.. Wilson, our candidate for
Congress, has been three times elect
ed Representative from the district
be now representative old 11th-
composed of the counties of Adams,
Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Scioto
and Vinton. Each time he ran he
gained largely on the Republican
vote in the District the year prev.
ious.
In 1866, when he was first elec.
ted, his majority in the District
was 1888, while that of Gov. Cox
the year before was 1885.
In 1868, Wilson's maj. was 2,128,
while that of Thurman, the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor in
1867, was 973-showing a gain for
Wilson in one year of over 3OOOl
In 1870, Wilson's maj. was 1866,
while that of Gov. Hayes in 1868
was but 936.
Although the Democratic msiori.
ty in this District last year was
1888, the change required to elect
Wilson this year would not be near
as great as the change from 1867 tc
1868, in Mr.. Wilson's old district,
as we have already stated that be
was elected by 2,128 maj, although
Thurman, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, carried the District
the year before by 937 majority
Remember that change of only
800 votes from last year will elec
Wilson. Let US bring out every
man and we may achieve a glori
Gus victory.

The North Carolina Triumph

Caldwell, the Republican candi,
date for Governor of North Carroll
ma, has a majority of 1915. There
were local causes which initiated
somewhat against him, and he real
Iy ran little behind his ticket, all
the other candidates upon which
record larger majorities, some OF
them ranging as high as twenty.
five hundred. A review of the result
for Congressman shows that the
Republicans really carried the State
by 5000.
This fact adds to the importance
of the Republican triumph, and
shows more plainly than anything
else that when the national issue OF
November comes to be squarely met
Grant will carry North Carolina by
a greatly increased majority over
candidates at the August election.
