We understand farmers in some

We understand a convention was
held in the Rutherford district the

was about to appoint a committee for
that purpose he found that every man
present was a candidate. with one or
two exceptions, and the convention
was a failure.
Crops between here and Hope Hill
look well. The wheat is better than
we expected, but not full crop.
Corn and cotton are splendid. Few

We spent part of last Sunday with

wish Mr. Bradberry to accept the POI

CARROLL ITEMS.
HUNTINGDON.

Republican: \ white man by the
name of Henry Wilkins was lodged
in jail at this place on Wednesday
evening last, charged with stealing a
pair of boots and some other articles
in the vicinity of Trezevant.
Republican: Deputy United States
Marshal J. w. Morgan, came to this
place on last Tuesday with squad of
three prisoners, who had been in some
way transgressing the revnue laws.
They resided somewhere in the south
eastern portion of this county.
Republican: In Carroll county the
wheat crop has been pretty generally
attacked with the rust. As yet we
understand, however, that OILY the
blades are affected The impression
seems to prevail, that if the rust does
not reach the stock, no very serious
damage will be done.
The Democratic party has never
accomplished any good for the coun-
try, and probably never will. 1t is
always trying to work out impractical
ble problems and spending its force Oh
shadows.-RepuJtioaH.
We had given the Radical party
credit for being something more than
a shadow. And we imagine the
Democratic party has accomplished
something in the present congress by
exposing some Of the rascalities of
leading Radical officials. The prob>
lem of Furnishing many of their lead
ing rascals, is, it is true, almost im>
practicable, because of the obstacles
thrown in the way by the Republican
Senate. But the people will take the
matter in hand at the November cleo
ton and give them back seats.
just look at the following extract,
Republicans, and see what one of your
party leaders has to say about you.
Are you willing to be longer "hum-
bugged" by the Huntingdon Republi-
can, Brooks, ct ais? They say you are
responsible for the bribery and corr
ruption of your high officers. Will
you continue to vote with and for
men who make such charges against
YOU? Come over and vote with true
reformers.
Who is responsible for bribery and
thievery in high places?. The above
question is easily and generally an
swered, that those who receive the
brides and do the stealing are the re-
sponsible parties. Directly they are,
but indirectly the voters who elect
them are responsible. There is all
ways plenty Of honest men in the
country, and generally the voters
ought to know the character of the
man they vote for, and they could
know if they did not extend an appa-
rent willingness to be humbugged.

About Oysters.

The annually increasing scarcity OF
English oysters has caused, in late
years, tho springing up Of n large tx.
port business in the New York t.ade,
aud this now extends its supply Of great
quantities to France and Germany, as
well as Albion. The people Of the con.
tipent secm to appreciate the supGri
ori:y of the American oyster much
moro readily than do tho English, who
imagine generally that nothing is 70 fine
as tho smSll, copper favored things
which they call English oysters. But
tho Briton's eccentricity Of taste is, at
least, not greater than that OF those who
delight iu the little OStend oysters,
eycI when they arc what, in mutton,
wouid be called "high." A great deal
OF "seed" is shipped from New York
to California for replanting near San
Francisco. Curiously enough, the IN.
tive California oysters arc very small
carcely larger than silver quarter OF
Il dollar; but the Eastern oysters, trans.
planted into the water where these
ridieulously small things grow, increase
in size and p!ulnpncsS much more
rapidly than they would East. 1t is said,
however, Tint they do not spawn there,
and 1.-Two ouly three years. Tho "secd II
ior them costs from twenty tive to forty
cents per bushcl, and is transported in
refrigerator cars across tho continent.
Much OF it goes from York hay,
producing hRrdy, dark mCatrd oyster
of moderately good flavor; but tho best
ia obtained from the East river beds.
Old Oysternen soy that thero arc now
at least i've times ~ many oysters eateu
annually in New York az there were
twenty years ago, and the supply is in
creasing more rapidly thAn the demand,
owing to the Intelligent caro- applied to
the cultivation. Several millions OF dol.
lars are invested in tho business, almost
exclusively for the beUeiit OF New York,
and over forty thousand persons nrc di'
rectly concerned in it. Tho oyster can.
ming business is almost nonopolized by
