EFFECTs OF THE STORMS.
But very few of our farmers succeeded
: in sowing their wheat prior to the storm
and the ground is so wet it will take some
days more for it be dry enough for that
purpose. Many of farmers Will lose the
greater portion of their corn fodder by the
great storm. All the corn not cut before
the storm has the blades whipped off and
the stocks lying OH the ground.

Our lumbermen have been busy gather
ing up lumber, shingles, etc, and repiling.

bles him to do a good many things which

ATTENDING COURT.
The deputy sheriffs of our county are
very generally gentlemen and highly es-
teemed in our community, and our friends
fond of their company. For some cause
ever since the session of court in your town,
every evening and morning till after the
s \. NJ. train leaves our place quite a num-
Der of our citizens cannot be found at their
usual place of business or places of spend
ing their time.
RAISING OF POLE AND FLAG.
On Friday, September 22nd, the Repub-
licans of our district raised fine pole and
put halyards on, reaching across to the
fof the Farmers and Commercial Hotel,
to spread our handsome club flag on. The
flag is 15X25, with canvas at the bottom
over three feet wide, with r. b. Hayes for
n. w
dent and j. Morrison Harrison for Con-
greSs. The Democrats admit that it is a
beauty and far surpaSSeS theirs. We do
not do any thing by half way here. The
boys Republican Club have purchased a
neat flag and have it stretched from the
residences of Mr.. l.. A. c. Gerry and DR..
n. b. Smith. The Democratic boys have
purchased a nice flag, which is raised on a
poll at the Democratic club room. Mr.. r.
G. Thackery, of your town, gave us an
excellent speech at the last meeting of our
club. He told some wholesome truths
about the Democratic party and their can
didates. | learn he has consented to ad-
dress our club again before the canvass
closes. We will give him a hearty wei
come, and much larger audience if it
does not storm. 1t is oar intention to have
speeches every Friday night till the cleo
ton.
CORRECTION.
The Democrats deny the rumor of their
having offered two hundred dollars to two
colored men to form n colored Tilden and
Hendricks Club; nor did they give two col
ored men prominent seats. ltemlzer would
not wrong any one but the report came so
straight he believed it. and now apologies
for the error. The members of the Demo-
cratic ciuOS say, after all the white cltl-
zeuS are provided for there, the colored cti-
Zens can take seats or standing room, if
any left. From the number of the former
in their rooms, it is not likely any will be
left.
