FoRGERY.-C. b. Shields of Richland
Tp., who owns 160 acres of splendid land,
was in town yesterday, and took out an
abstract of title for the land, and in look
ingit over was surprised to find a mort
gage of $500 recorded against it, in favor
of ID. S. Swearingen of this city. Char
ley's eyes stuck out like peeled onions
and he began tc sift the matter down,
for he knew he never igave the mortgage.
1t appears that some one called on Mr.. s.,
said his name was Charles Shields, that
his wife was dead, and that he wanted
$500 for six months, land the time is about
out,) and he got the money, made his
mark to the note and mortgage, and Mr..
Swearingen knowing that Shields was
good, paid no attention to the matter, un-
til Charley unearthed the forgery and
showed that Swearingen was swindled on
forged papers,

Leighton Doings.

The ia mers are mostly done gathering
corn, enc more week of fine weather will
let them out.
A Democratic voter of Leighton was
anxiously enquiring few days ago, what
State Georgia was in. He was told that
it was small town in South America.

A Hayesman sprouted it for him.
Where were all those rip-snorting green
hackers election day. Those fellows that
done the yelling and stamping at their
meetings this summer. Those fellows
that were ready and rusty for fight to
overthrow the bonded aristocracy and save
the nation. Where were they election
day, only nine of them had the moral
courage to vote the Cooper ticket in Black
Oak TIP. The rest of them were BUSH
whacking around the polls all day cleo
pioneering and voting for "Tilden, econo-
my and reform"
We have heard of all kinds of ballots
being used to carry elections, among them
the notorious "fan tall" But the Leigh
ton Democracy capped the climax by
bringing out what is known as the ''Bob
tail ballot"
The Democracy looked as smiling the
day after the election as they did the
week following Bull Run.
The excitement over the election news
here, reminds US very forcibly of the news
from the first battles of the war. How il
is in the larger towns we can easily imag.
inc by the stir in our own little village,

ED. CAMPBELL says that Tilden has resolved
that he will give no Office to an editor who mis-
spelled the names Of any persons on the Demo
cratic ticket. He says ours il correct, SO correct
your ticket by ours.-Standdrd.
What editor printed the Democratic
tickets for this county? Seems to US that
would cut Bro. Porter out of P. o., as
he printed his ticket 'for member of Con-
gress" instead of "For Representative in
Congress, 9th District" the very !point on
which the Dem. House unseated Repub-
lican in Virginia, and put Democrat iin.
Also, printed the Judicial ticket for District
Judge instead of Circuit Judge, and print
ed Representative without the District
these three were together. We know not
how many more could be found by care
