Four of the candidates upon il have been
elected. That is glory enough for one time.
Augustus Z. Knowlon, Esq, man of
fine talent and gentleman, has been re
elected Probate JulSc. He will make rs
good IN officer in the future as in The past.
: He is sound lawyer AMI well quail fled for
the position in every way.
Mr. p. L. Jones, an upright and iatclli-
gent colorcd man has been elected in the
place of Christian Caldwell, ana will work
in the Legislature for the good of The whole
rooplc of the County.
F. W. Fairy, Esq, Will be our County
Commissioner i'll the place of Mr.. John II.
Phillips. As We said in previous issue,
We have known Mr.. Fairy from clillliood,
in the days when we could scarcely yet lisp
fathers name We knew him, and say from
an intimate knowledge Of his liGc tI.at !.c is
one. of the few men whose character for
honor and truth is irrcproachauc. He is II
man Of wealth, and IL is n sound maxim that
the individual who can fake care OF bis own
purse can be safely entrusted with the
peoples money. We congratulate the County
upon his election.
The Rev. Thcs. Phillips, as school Com
missioner for two years to come, will do his
best to teach the youthful minds OF our County
the value of moral and religious truths, aud
do his best 70 inGuguratc better and more
perfect system Of Free Schools.
On the whole, we have much TO lie thank
