d Our courteous, genteel and obliging
friend, u. I. Bailey, who, it is well
known throughout the county [ pre-
sumo, is candidate for Sheriffaltie
honors, is running with speed in all
this part of the county, heretofore I'M
equaled by any of his predecessors
candidates for the same office. FAC
thinks too it is an accelerated speed,
in which opinion we all concur. His
popularity in this end of the county,
with all classes, has gained for him
elsewhere, many aceessions to the
ranks of his supporters, He is all
square to boot on Bills Civil Rights,
Thinks that Sam Uncle SAM has had
exercised, OF assumed rights long
enough to the exclusion.of Bill. Now
it should be Bills turn-Uncle Bill.
HIS path, he says, is all over strewn
with flowers, and he is busy using his
best energies in gathering up the flo
raj tributes, and hopes on the 9th day
of August next, or Immediately there
after, to be able to present to the Dis
trict that gives him the largest major
ity, the most beautiful bouquet that
was ever cullcd by Flora rosy fingers,
(that is if the flowers don't die before
that time.) He had an idea of estab-
fishing a telegraph Office at Wood
lawn, and in considera ton of Zac's
feetness, employing him to carry
dispatches for us during his election
eering campaign; but owing to the
brief time in which we could avail
ourselves of its benefits, the enterprise
was abandoned. While we think of
it, would it not, in view Of the multi
plicity of candidates, and the certainty
with which all appear to express them
selves of being elected, be very OPP
perfume suggestion to make to the
Honorable County Court, to appoint
a committee to divide the county into
Sheriffalities or bailiwicks, that each
may be allotted his station to avoid a
of duties. d g.1
