LET our party put none but good mer
and reliable Democrats on our ticket fol
the coming county election. We should
have no halfway, weakened, played
out, turn-coat, bought-up, slip-and.go'
easy, God -and morality, sold.out, milk
snd-water, swap-of policy chaps, either
for delegates or candidstes. We want
Democrats, men of true and tried princi.
pie; men who stood by our party when
the iron shod heel of oppression was try.
ing to grind out its life; men who dared
to advocate the right amid jeers and
threats of violence. We want no"granny''
confidence men, who are brave. and true
while whispering to a neighbor or friend,
and yet when they 60 to the polls they
wrap their ticket close enough to drive
through Pine plank, for fear some one
might SEQ a pencil mark on the margin.
We want Democrats on the ticket.
ABOUT half-past ten o'clock Saturday
night fire was discovered in the saddle
and harness establishment Of Bell i
Hines, in old Bellaire. The alarm was
given, and the fremen of the city de-
serve u great deal of credit for their
prompt response to the call. They man.
aged tho fire with skill, and soon had it
under control. The damage done will
amount to perhaps two or three hundred
dollars. We understand there was no
insurance on the building. The building
was evidently set on fire, as there had
been no fire about the building for some
time. II is said that man was seen IN
the room with a lighted candle in his
hand but short time before the fire was
discovered, but it was thought at the
time that it was one of the firm. 1t is
hoped that the guilty parties will yet be
brought 10 justice.

general stampede, but, unfortunately, all
could not get ont of the way. and . little
girl BY the name of Cain was struck on
the head by the axle of the wagon, and

but it is hoped she will get along all
right. A little boy about ten years old
was also knocked down and pretty badly
hurt. The horse trampled on bis leg,
