Mr.. EDTToR:-The candidates fol
Register and Circuit and Criminal Court
Clerk as yet, have no opposition. They
are efficient, prompt and popular men,
and as matters now stand, they will
probably have no opponents. The very
object Of convention is to select one
strong man among many aspirants who
can be elected, as the exponent of his
friends in the convention. For these
two offices there is no need of a selection,
for there is but one candidate for each
Ofdee-in other words, they now stand
as by common consent of the tghOle peo-
pie, the sole aspirants for the two offices.
Ihey combine the favor of convention
as well as anti-convention men, and
what is the use of placing the names of
these gentlemen before the convention?
They cannot possibly be benefited by a
nomination, and may possibly be greatly
injured. They now stand already the
choice of the people and say let them
remain as they now are, without men,
ton of their names in the convention.
have heard a number of gentlemen
express the views which I have here
embodied, and am satisfied the candi-
dates themselves see the feasibility of
this course. Should they be unwisely
brought before the convention and nomi-
nateds as of course they would be, the
very fact Of their nomination under ex-
listing circumstances, would bring out
opposition to them. / hope the conven-
ton will consider carefully this matter
and act accordingly. A CITIZENS

Mr.. EDITOR We can see no good
reason why the candidates now in the
field should be opposed to the convention
which is called for the first Monday in
June, next. need not argue the inn
portance of it, as your able correspond
ent in your last weeks issue has shown
beyond doubt the great importance
OF the democratic party haTmOnizing.
Are the candidates who have not, Ifor

Some of the candidates are using every
art and argument that ingenuity OF
malice can invent to throw Odium and
contempt upon the convention. How /,
gentlemen, for your calamities are
coming upon you. Your scepter is de-
parting, and the law-giyer from between
your feet. You may threaten or per-
suade, coax or condemn-the hand
writing which fOretells your destiny is
on The wall. The Democracy of this
county Will not, nor ought not to sup
port any one who will not submit their
claims to the convention. No, gentle
men, you can't halter US as beasts of
burden to your royal cars, as gentle as
lambs and as patient as asses. The idea
that the people of the county have called
the convention shocks your ears as
much a. bhC VI DdAddlll Dc;lSL.
Don't be too FESTIVE, gentlemen. Time
and change happeneth to all men. The
''brass collar" that designates us as the
dogs of your Highness is getting too
tight for our necks. The fresh noun
tain air and our democratic majority in
old Giles are making us grum and surly
when you refuse to submit to the DEM
ocratic party in convention. But now,
when we refuse to snarl and snap, tack
and catch whatever game you bid US,
alas we are but
''MOngrels, puppies, whelps and hounds,
And ours of low degree
Democrats, listen not to the siren song
of these independent candidates; they

what they are after. Attend yoar pri-

NIT their names to the convention.

Mr.. EDIToR-In the CITIZEN of the
l4th inst there was call upon the can
didates for the county offices requesting
them to give an expression through
your columns whether they are Willing
to abide the action of the Convention to
be held in Pulaski on the first Monday
in June.
The call being so numerously and re-
specially signed, and the request so re-
spectful to the candidates, think it my
duty to respond: In becoming a can
didate placed myself in the hands OF
the people of Giles and am willing to
abide their verdict as expressed in fair
convention or otherwise, as they may
think just to all the candidates and for
the best interest of our county.

a On Sabbath, 18th inst, it was am
nouneed at the Presbyterian Church Al
Cornersville that on Thursday evening
next al 81 O'Clock there would be
marriage in that Church, and the public
was cordially invitedto be present. The
announcements fell among the audience
like bomb shell. Who on earth was
going to marryi Speculation ssas, Wild.
Everybody's chances were discussed
and many couples were arranged and
''eonfidential7 whispers went round.
Finally However it was settled that
Capt. F. ArrOwsmith Of Pulaski was 10
marry the amiable and lovely Miss
Florence Harris, daughter OF Capt. VIVA.
Harris of CoFnersville. The Church
was brilliantly Illuminated, elegantly
decorated and densely crowded when
the hour arrived. Carriages were heard
to approach and all eyes turned to the
entrance, and To- two couples arrayed in
bridal robes were approaching. Mr..
JRo. A. Harris, brother to Capt. AS
bride, was leading the sparkling and
witty Miss Sallie Jones to the altar
The surprise may be imagined when it
is announced that Mr.. Harris was en-
tirely above suspicion in this respect,
and forty minutes ago was selling goods |
at his store uptown in his everyday |
clothes. He had not been suspected |
even by the most knowing gossipers.
The double wedding ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr..
Alexander, and all were happy.
