New observation-disclosures are now
in from every town and voting precinct
in the state and they indicate the re-
election of Gov. Straw by the popular
vote beyond preadventure. The Gov
ernor vote foots up as follows:
Straw Rep.) 34,023
Weston Dem.) 32,022
Blackmar Crem.) 1859
Mason Nib) 69S
These figures give Gov. Straw clear
majority over all his competitors of PA.
1t will be seen that Straw's vote exceeds
that of Weston's by POOL. The aggre-
gate vote this year, is 67,902; last year
the whole number of ballots cast was
1896, showing falling off of 7,l63
votes

We deeply regret to announce the desth Of

denly on Wednesday evening of last week,
from congestion of the brain, produced by
the fever of smallpox. He was sitting up
in bed at the time and had just taken some
light 4nourishnent, when the fatal attack
came, and he fell back and died klmost in
stantly i silE
Mr.. Spargur was well known to the
people of the county, having filled the
Offices of Sheriff and Clerk of the Court
for several terms. and few men were
more highly esteemed and respected.
he served his country in the late rebell-
ion, having twice enlisted and made an
honore BILE record as a soldier. His last
service in the army was as Adjutant Of

compelled TO resign on account Of sick-

BUFoRD, Feb. 25, 1873.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The most interesting
topic here at present is the protract-
ed meeting in the NJ. E. Church. 1t
began on Saturday, the 18th, but ow-
ing to the high waters, the ministers
did not arrive until Monday, when
the younger colleague, Mr.. Ambrose,
announced that theywere ready, mud
or no mud, to carry ON the meeting.
The people seem to partake of the
same spirit, for there has been good
attendance in daytime, and a full
house at night. Both ministers have
been here since last Tuesday, and the
people have listened quietly and at
tentively, while the higher Christian
life has been portrayed with great
power, and sinners urged to repent.
The meeting is making an impression
on the people, and we feel sure that
good is being done for time and for
eternity. May God speed the good
work! And though the scofers may
laugh, and try to turn good into evil,
we thank God, they are not fighting
against weak men, but against His
almighty power For their own sakes
we wish that the arrow of conviction
may strike deep into their hearts, and
that they may find no rest, till they
find it. low at the feet of a crucifed
Savior.

Mr.. BoARDMKN:-There will be meeting
of the Republicans of Concord TIP. at the
school house in Sugartree Ridge on Satur-
day. the 22d day of March, to nominate can
didates for the April election. 1t is hoped
that there will be general turnout, from
all partso the township, SO that as strong a
ticket as possible may be nominated.
The Republicans met last Saturday and
appointed D G Lewis, Joseph Thompson,
W Henderson and S E Redkey delegates
to the Constitutional Convention next Sa;-
urday. They also passed resolution in
structing the delegates to vote for no man
in the Convention who is not strictly tenn
perate. Quite number of Republicans
here have firmly decided that they will vote
for no man for Office who is drunkard,
and such persons who are seeking Office and
continually getting snakes in their boots
may rest assured of one thing, and that is
they need not expect much support from

EDITOR NEws:-The winter has been
very severe. Stock requires a great
deal of feed. The farmer can now
readily see the benefit of sheltering
his stock. Where they are allowed
to "stand the storm, it takes q great

that the cold wind causes the animal
to lose, which extra feedis that much
more than the animal would require
if sheltered
For several years we have had a
prospect of making our hills at least,
':mud-proofs, by means of the road
tax, which was levied on all. The
tax was generally worked out by haul
ing gravel on the hills. But last

now our most wealthy men, being ov-
er age, are exempt from all public
work, in this line of business.
Some have fears that the fruit crop
will be a failure this year, on account
of so much extreme cold.

1 DID NOT inform the Express managers that the
Agent here was "engaged in blackmailing opera

thing wrong in the office, and requested them to
send up Mr. Stockton the route agent to investigate

& G. r. R. Co., lay sick two days, last
summer, at one of our hotels. was
called to visit him and advised him to
go to the hospital in the city. In
going from the depot, he walked
through drenching rain, and died
the tenth day after admission to the

contracted the disease from him-at
the hotel or any place else-so far as
I can learn.
The disease has been SO far restricted to

cases of continent smallpox, two of which
are still dangerous. Mrs. Spargur has on

hequestion may very naturally be asked:
Is there any danger to our citizens, or
strangers or children attending school, in
their transit through the streets in the in
fected locality? 1 answer decidedly, No.
1t is fresh in the memory of most of our
- kbo
the Mattil family were afflicted with this
terrible malady, our people receiving their
mail matter daily from under the same
roof, and passing and repassing daily under
the windows of the rooms where four mem
bers of the family lay suffering with small
pox, and two others with varioloid, and yet
no one suffered from the contagion by such
exposure.
1 am of the decided opinion, that if the
care and precaution that is now being used
be continued, none of the attendants
physicians excepted-being allowed to leave
the infected premises until the disease has
subsidized, the clothing and apartments pu-
whilst would not counsel any one to pass
on the sidewalk in front of the infected
building, yet do not believe, with the
windows and doors fastened as they now
are, there would be any danger in doing SO.
I most earnestly hope those four cases
the only cases in town-under the watchful
care and skillful medical treatment of DR..
Holmes, may recover.

Centaur Imminent.


There is no pain which the Centaur Lniment VIII
not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue, and no
lameness which 1t viii not cure. This is strong
language but it is true Where the parts are gone,
its effects are marvellous. 1t has produced more
cures of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock-jaw, palsy,
sprains, swelings, caked-breasts, scalds, burns,
salt-rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gudls, &C., upon animals in
one year than have ell other pretended remedies
since the world began. 1t is counter-lrritant, an
a-fealing pain reliever. Crippes throw away their
crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites are rem
dered harmless and the wounded are healed without
a scar. 1t is no humbug. The recipe is published
around each bottle. 1t is selling other article
ever before sold, and it sells because it does just
what it pretends to do. Those who now suffer from
rheumatism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer If
they will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certificates of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic-rheumatism, gout, running
tumors, &C., have been received. We viii send
circular containing certificates, the recipe, &C.,
gratis, to any requesting it. One bottle of the
yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth one
hundred dollars for spawned or sweenied horses
and mules, or fer screw-worm in sheep. Stock
owners-this liniment is sworth your attention. No
family should be without Centaur Liniment. j. B.
