THE CANptDATEs The candidates
for the Legislature, Messrs. Silvertooth.
Jones. Corbctt and Campbell, addressed
our people at the Court House, Monday.
Mr. q. B. Prather, by request, announced
Judge f. l. Bullock, as a candidate, etc
The speeches of the candidates compass
ed about the same grounds occupied.
and previously reported, AT Clinton, with
the exception of a number of new issues
submitted by DR.. Corbett i'm his remarks.
The propositions are likely to attract con-
siderable attention, aud give the eandi-
dates and people something to think and
talk about We are not able TO give the
positions of the candidates, as the discus
sfoR. was so shaped, that Messrs. Silver
tooth, Jones and Bullock, were not called
upou 10 define themselves on the different
propositions. Capt. Campbell followed
Corbett. and while agreeing with him in
most of the propositions. differed with
him SIS to the practicahiIity of others.
We understand his objections to rest
chiefly ms 10 some details about the pro
posed stock law, the payment of poll tax
before voting, etc. but, as the candidates
will meet frequently, the people can un-
derstand from them the objections and
endorsements, and we will not risk a re-
port for fear Of incorporating. The
different propositions submitted by DR..
Corbeit. are printed elsewhere in this
paper, and need not here be reproduced.
Whether you favor or oppose, the intelli-
gent voter should give them a careful
reading. We no,e, one further fact, that

DISPLAY OF FARM Machinery
Those who visit Hickman. and fail to
visit the large farm implement ware
rooms of Powell s Bro, miss a treat. 1t
will prove instructive and interesting TO
those even who do not contemplate a pur-
chase. The house is about 60xS0, and
the upper and lower rooms are used for
the display of sample farm implements
and machinery, such as Threshers from
different factories, Reapers, Mowers,
wheat Drills, one and two horse corn
planters and drills, Sorghum Machinery
Plows, Cultivators, &c, SC The heavy
machinery is kept on the lower floor,
and the lighter such plows, corn she'll
ers, etc., on the upper floor. One foud OF
such study could we'll pass whole day
here, studying the different samples and
noting the varied improvements. they
are abundantly supplied with catalogues,
circulars, and descriptive lists, setting
forth the special merits claimed for each
machine, or sample, besides any number
not on sample, so that the pnblic can or
der any farm machine or implement in n
ufsctured in the United States, through
them. Those who have not, SHOULD visit
their warehouse, and especially those
contemplating investment. Any i'm
proved machinery looks we'll, but if you
buy when the samples are berure your
eyes, the contrast enables you to make
better selections.
