SHERIFF's SALEs.-Every person whose
real estate is sold 10y the Sheriff has the
right to select one of the two newspapers
In the county in which the sale is to be ad-
VertlSed. Tnis is one Of the provisions of
the law, and the sale cannot bp confirmed
unless the law is complied with. 1t is the
duty OF the Sheriff to ask the defendent TO
choose one newspaper 1t is then the dutv
OF the Sheriff to advertise the property in
such paper.
1t is said that ten or more of the vouno
men who signed the temperance pledge re.
Gently IN this town, have already broken it,
ana some of them have even been bslstly
drunk. There may be honor among
thieves, but alas for drunkartls. To con.
vert man from the error of his wavs Won
must commence at the heart. A cOrruDt
fountain cannot send forth pure water.
The great fault with much of the temper
ance work Is that it is superficial. as in
these cases. B-gn at the heart if Won
would cleanse men.-.M!togs Ne,os.

very poor and has been a common laborar
working about our town. While we doubt

a New DIVISION OF PARrIEs.-The Pen.
"asaLa NecS and Adcertiscr, of Milford in
thl' State, hitherto a Republican paper.
'oreSeeS the breaking up of the existing
political parties, divided as they are by
memories rather than real issues, and il
prophesles that the parties of the future
VIII be conservative party led hy such
men as BIyard, Lamar and those who
,tand with them in the United States
Senate against the Silver bill" while "tbs
leaders of the liberal party of the future
VIII be found among the Blands. Ewinos
Matthews, Becks, Thurmans and Voorhees,
OF the Senate" and it Enthusiastically indi.
Gates that when such a division takes
place 1t will be on what it calls the "liberal"
'ite, which. it declares, will favor "cheon
money. wellpaid labor, cheap transporta.
| on DC" and against the conservative
slde' which, it says, will represent "dear
money, centralization Of capital and money
~ the great cities, support of corporations
lnd great monopoies. &c"
We are disposed to believe thar sopa
such division as is Indicated will take
place, only we should describe the tbinDs
separating the two parties in somewhat
different language.
