The Wichita Eagle gets off the
late rain down in that country as
follows--at least we suppose it re-
fers to the rain. Read:
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, ah,

ence and answered back in the
moistened gloom the last farewell

NJ. Parker; Register of Deede, C..

lin; Coroner, II. T. Sumner; Com
missioners, w. II. Burroughs, f.
McCulley, Milton Bradley. The

cidental. We are glad to see that
the Augusta Gazette also hoists the
ticket, an indication that ut last,
there is union and peace between
