The nomination of Judge West
for Governor in spite of his unfortu-
nate blindness, brings to mind the
similar case of Prof. Fawcett, the
eminent member of the British Par
lament, who was also blind, but
ranked among the very ablest de-
baters in that body.

ATTENTION, TBAMPs!-The New Or
leans Times says that there is a
scarcity of labor in Louisiana. Es-
pecially will this be the case when
the cotton picking comes on, which
is next month. Thousand of dollars
worth of cotton will be lost, because
there are not enough men to pick it.

Permit me, in this manner, to announce to the
party and to my friends generally, that do not
that positively decline to allow any Of my friends
to bring my name before the Convention. There
are others who would accept a nomination, and
would make, doubt not, the people Of Highland
county better Representative. With sense OF
Of gratitude for the confidence repOsed in me- aud
which I hope have not abused, have renewed
the vow took in early life to keep out Of politics.

me down as a ''striker."
Yours truly, H. c. DAWSON.

Until our recent visits to White

adequate idea of the generally excel

ton of our county, or of the many
well-improved and fertile farms with
which it abounds. In the neighbor.
hood of Mourytown and Taylorsville
and on the roads leading from those
pretty and thriving villages to Dan
vile and Newmarket, there are many
large and handsome residences, both
of brick and frame, with capacious
barns, thrifty young orchards, and
every other evidence of prosperity
and comfort surrounding them. The
country is generally level, or but
slightly rolling, and the soil pro
duces good crops. This year the
wheat, oats and hay crops have been
especially abundant, corn is prOmis
ing, and the farmers are blest with
an unusual return for their labors.
Heretofore, our town has enjoyed
the rich trade of all that region al
most without a rival, but by the re
cent completion of the new railroad
from Cincinnati to Sardinia, running
within 2 miles of nearly the entire
southern line of Whiteoak and
Clay tps., the farmers Of that section
have now a new and much nearer
outlet for their produce than Hills,
boro affords them, and it is but nat
ural that they should avail them,
selves of this advantage. Instead
of bringing their wheat, hogs and
other produce to Hillsboro, as here
tofore, they are now beginning to &c
to Sardinia, Mt. Oreb and other
points on the new railroad, where
buyers are ready to pay them as
good prices for their produce as they
could get here, and stores are spring
ing up, to supply them with grOce
ries, hardware, dry goods, and al
other commodities they need.

ming to feel the loss of this valuable
trade, and unless something is
speedily done to retain it, in a few
years the great bulk of it will bc
lost to HilIsboro forever.
There is but one way to avert this
calamity, and that is, to build the
proposed narrow gauge railroad
from here to Sardinia, as a link IL
the Columbus & MaysvilIe road
Our business men, by subscribing
literally to this enterprise, and rails
ing the small amount of stock still
needed to complete the road to Sar
dinia, can retain most of the trade
of the whole region from Hillsborc
to the southern line of our county
There is, however, no time to be lost
If done at all, it must be done quick
ly-without delay-for if we lose tn,
present opportunity, it is not likel!

we do not build the line to Sardinia

it is too late.
Let US rouse ourselves TO the dut7
of the hour, and make one NOR

still needed to build the road to Sar

rejoice over the completion of th,
enterprise, and the assured futur,

TheR MP. RT.

The Waverly Republican says in
regard to the retirement of James
Emmitt from the Presidency of the
Springfield, Jackson & Pomeroy
Railroad:
For sometime it has been evident
that active operations have ceased,
and now appears that this was ow-
ing to want of confidence and feeling
Of harmony between President En-
mitt and other directors, the latter
being almost unanimously opposed
to Mr.. Emmitt's management, only
Director Seymour, of Bainbridge,
voting in favor of sustaining Mr.. En-
mitt. Upon this showing Mr.. En-
mitt said that he had too much in
terest in the welfare Of the road, and
too much at stake, to desire TO re-
main in the board under such circum-
stances, and declared that his resig-
nation would be presented IN the
course of ten days. Viee-President
Chapman, of jackson, was authOriz-
ed to act as President, which he will
do until a new election shall come
off. H. E. Ware was removed from
the position Of sub-treasurer at this
place, and W. S. Jones appointed.
The causes which led to this want
of mutual confidence between the
board and President Emmitt will
hardly become public property until
the meeting of the stockholders to
elect a new board, unless individuals
make it so, but at that time, which
takes place the first Of January,
1873, a full report Will undoubtedly
be submitted to the stockholders.
In the meantime, all must hope that
every thing has been done for the
best.
