SOME of the Prohibitionists OF
Ironton and Lawrence county are in
clined to make a ticket for them
selves, and have rendered the nomi-
nation for Congress to Mr.. John G.
PEBBLES, of this city. Mr.. PEBBLES,
although radical temperance man,
feels satisfied with the outspoken
policy of the Republican State Con
vention upon the temperance ques-
ton. He believes that by the tenn
perance men sustaining the Repub-
lican ticket they have assurance of
the ultimate triumph of temperance
principles; whereas. by withdrawing
that support and throwing away
their strength in a futile attempt to
elect an independent temperance
ticket, they would most certainly con-
tribute to the success of the Demo
cratic party, and of course not only
lose all they have gained in the adj
vancement of temperance principles,
but postpone indefinitely all hopes
of recovering their lost ground. He
therefore respectfully declines, and
urges his temperance friends in
Lawrence county to support the Re
publican ticket now in the field

THE RACES
For the Gallipolis Journal.
From Harrisburg.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I see that there is
not as many persons corresponding
with the JOURNAL as have been, and
| do not read the JOURNAL with as
much interest as / did when there
was three or four columns wholly
adapted to correspondents writing.
Why can we not have correspOn-
dent from every neighborhood to
write items of interest, once in a
while?
The farmers are cutting up their
corn in some places and it proves to
be very good mostly. The farmers
are plowing their fields preparatory
to sowing their wheat.
The Harrisburg Touring mills are
doing very good work now and that
will liven up Harrisburg some. Rae
coon is very low now and the mills
cannot grind very rapidly.
Harrisburg was little more lively
few days since than is usual. Some
young men were quarreling and be-
fore it ended pitchforks were used
very lively. One fellow hit another
over the head with fork, but I guess
it did not break it.
There is some very nice melon
patches in these parts, and as mat
ter of course the boys visit them to
see what virtue there is in the mel
Ons. We will see what virtue there
is in shot gun yet.
Yours, &C., w. H.
