Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1876-08-16

PoLrrIcs. -Tbis is now commencing
to be the absorbing topic of conversation
in Phoebe. Candidates are letting their
particular friends know that they are in
the field and anxious for their support.
Friends and voters are discussing the
merits OF the various parties, who have
proclaimed that they are in the field and
as a matter Of course naming all their
weak points and the various chances
that their favorites have of winning or
losing. 1t will not be long now before
the nominations are made for the State
ticket, so that voters will have something
substantial to talk about.
FLIEs.-Scientists tell US we have con-
quered nature, chained-lightning, an
initiated space, etc.; but science is yet
incomplete, for it has given US no pre-
ventlve against those little pests that
make life at present almost uncomfortable,
especially about feeding time. Still they
are blessing in disguise, for where
files are plentiful epidemic diseases are
unknown. Taking this as a standard,
Pioche should be very healthy place
just now, for the flies ars bigger and
more OF them to the square inch than
any place OF its size that we know of.
