Rev. Everard Meade will be Id
services at St. James, Episcopal
Church, In this place, three days

aud bad.
We heard a gentleman re-
mark a few days ago, that the
weather was SO hotthat he could
not eat. We acknowledge it has
been warm; but its cool enough
now, and our appetite has never
"gone back" on us yet. We
can always eat-provided We
can get the material to operate
upon.
The main objection to the
Primary election is that only
Democrats are expected to cast
a ballot for a candidate for Re-
preventative. Well that is de-
cidently cool. Do the 1tepub
licans wish TO vote and give us
a candidate whom they will not
try to electe In that way they
might nominate the most object
ionable man In the party tor
our candidate and we would
have to take him.
The prospects grow brighter
every day. A thorough over
hauling will take place this
fall. The Republicans have
been in power long enough and
theirold party hacks will be
beaten so badly that Salt River
will not contain them all, but
Butler will be among tie mum.
Der who will 60. He took a
trial trip two years ago. He's go.

There has been considerable
talk about Lieut.. j. *. Polk
Hall joining the RAIDS at the
Bulls Gap convention He says
that he had business which call.
ed him to that place on that day
had a proxy votein the conven-
ton, but denies having gone
over to the Radicals. Be that
az it may, it has a suspicious
look. If we remember Alright
he was before a Democratic
convention two years since for
county Representative, Per
haps the "loaves and fishes"
were all monopolized aud there
was an opening on that ticket.
Go ahead and do your best, but
you will soon learn the vanity of
all sublunary things.
We are informed by the
New Era that two hundred and
fifty Union are going to leave
the "rebcl Democracy" At
least such Is the ilsinuation.
Well all live to learn 1t is the
first we knew there was a rebel
Democratic party, without all
who vote the Democratic ticket
arc rebel Democrats. Ifthis be
so, we plead guilty to the soft
impeachment We are proud OF
the record and shall do all In our
