and has frequently ellcited applause In tbs

His able advocacy and viDdication OF the pol

THE Picnic given by the Zaleski
Brass Band, in the Grove east of the
Car Shops, in that village, last Sat
day, was a grand affair. The day
was clear and pleasant. There was
an immense crowd. The dancing,
with music from members of the
Zaleski Band, commenced at an
early hour in the morning, under
the spacious canopy which 10 so
well adapted for the purpose, and
was participated in with vigor' du-
ring the day. AS fast as one party

w. W. BELFoRD.-During the
past year o. more a few Of the
leaders Of the opposition Party
but not all of them Of this
county, have been looking ev-
erywhere for q man who is better
qualified to fill the office of County
Auditor than w. w. BEDFORD, the
present Auditor, but, so far, their
searching has resulted in q most
complete failure. These busy peo-
pie expect Mr.. BEDFORD to be q
candidate this fall for the second
term, but not one word can any Of
them say against him-because
they all so well know that during
short time he has had charge of that
flee he has faithfully, honorably
and honestly discharged the duties
of the same; is an officer that the
people can well be proud of; is al
to be found in the office; and pos.
sessed of the very best qualifca-
tions for the position. We advise
every man in Yinton county to go
to the Auditors office and examine
the books and records and see how
neatly and beautifully they have
been kept by him. 1t is said that
no man is perfect, but we are sure
that a careful examination of the
work he has performed in that Of
flee will convince any person that
he is as near perfect as any official
in the State.
