Caucuses are getting TO be lively and in
tercsling bodies IN this town, the last, for
the cleo ion of district delegates, being
nearly as entertaining as y circus and
would certainly have impressed stranger
that Mt. Holly was the place for gay and
festive oratory. The meeting commenced
by electing Dr.. John Crowley chairman.
A secretary being elected the chair an
nounced that the election Of delegates was
next in order. Mr.. A. w. Cook here rose
and moved that If more than one man was
nominated at time the choice be deter
mined by ballot. This simple motion was
the signal for the fray and Mr.. j. =. Hos
kison eaped to his feet and began it. He
charged that the motion was unnecessary, |
unparlamentary and out of order, and
went on to state that this was not the first |
time Mr.. Cook had been guilty of the blum
der, alleging that he committed the same |
in the last county convention by moving |
for ballot when more than one was in no. |
mination, in which case he claimed |
ballot was always necessary and |
the chairman's duty to order one
without special motion, according to all
rules governing such meetings. He was
sorry the voters of Mt. Holly made choice
of such ignoramuses to represent them in
out of town conventions, etc etc. Mr..
Cook was of course ready with reply,
ard from discussion of parliamentary rules
and regulations, the dispute soon merged
into personalities, and waxed hot and heavy
for some time UsQue Qd nduSodna. The chair
finally sustained Mr.. HoskiAon, and de-
cidcd that the motion WAS ont of order, or
4; least unnecessary and uncalled for. Mr.
Ryland Parker and Mr.. Warren Horton
were then elected delegates, with power to
choose their own substitutes. Il republic
can town committee was then appointed,
consisting of A. w. Cook chairman, Eliland
Holden and Il. Parmenter. The meeting
being adjourned, the two eX-representa-
tves "had it cut" in the most approved
style of x;h ward politicians, much to the
edihcation of the ''gamn and gsrCon."
MIR. w. D. Holden lost young horse
valued At one hundred dollars, a short time
since. by being killed on the railroad.
Iiaying progresses after fashion, the
wea her last week not being the most pro-
piuous. Hardly an average crop is being
secured.
We suggest the use of pastors for our
county ticket this fall. the sixth mans
name not being copgenial to voters gener-
allv, think. Cannot good man be found
in Mt. Holly or Shrewsbury to cover up

Elder Lswton has been secured, we un-
| derstand, to supply the Baptist pulpit the
remainder of this year. Mr.. Lawton is an
exlempore preacher of mucn force and
power, is occasionally quite eloquent, and
what is better than a |, is one OF those
rarities, a minister who knows when to
stop, With sermons of the calibre and
hrevily Of his, we predict an amazing in
| n tnl. of thn "a
the Baptist church.
