A Democratic view of convention
matters in this Judicial District is
given in the following, from the Olym-
pia Transcript:
The election outlook in this Ju-
dicial District appears to be in apretty
muss as far as the republicans are
concerned. The leaders here began
by stocking" the convention, that is
by calling it at Olympia, at one end
of the district, hoping undoubtedly
that but few delegates would attend,
and then they could "run" it. Hon.
W. Byron Daniels kicked the fat
over, and did just what they did not
expect, by calling another convention
at Kalama. Of course there was no
decent way out of the scrape, but
having secured this county, they have
become exceedingly magnanimou,
and have issued call for Kalama.
As the mountain will not come to
Mahomet, they are going to the
mountain. Whether the breach will
all be healed at kalama remains to
be seen.

IN MEMORIAM.

Departed this life, in the town Of Union, on
the sixteenth day of February, A. ID. 1878,
FRANCES y. RAwLs, daughter Of DR.. Benjamin
+. Rawls.
Her loss will sadden many hearts. The vir
tues and charms which shed lustre over the
inner sanctuary of her home, also shed Iustre
over her friendships. The faithful daughter
the kind sister, was also the faithful and kind
friend. Steadfastness one of her peculiar
characteristics. This is virtue which wins
especial admiration. This was the strong point
of her attractions. She was true to her friends,
and therefore her friends reposcd confidence in
her. Absent or present, doubt never cloudcd
the serenity of their trust in her. AS she was
yesterday they felt assured that she would be
to-day. In world where muabity is the or
der of time this is n remarkable trait, and this
trait, with her courtesy Of demeanor, made her
beloved.
We sympathize with her family in their be-
reavemcnt. The tears well up in our eyes as
we contemplate the stern fact that she has gone
from us to "the undiscovered Country, from
whose bourne no traveller returns"
No more will meet her graceful form upon
in the social circle, where her courteous bearing
gentleness, her refinement, her unselfshness,
her sweet temper, form cluster of precious
memories that will long lingcr with us.
"And, when the stream
Which overhowed the soul was passed away,
A consciousness remained that it had left,
Deposited upon the silent shore
OF memory, images and precious thoughts
That shall not die, and cannot be destroyed"

In a ncighboring city in Georgia, there is a
married woman, who, after her third coniine.
ment, had liberation, with all its repulsivc
symptoms. She tried in vain all the nostrums

cral springs, went with her to New York, Phila-

obsericians, to no purpose. After the use of
the fifth bottle of Regulator, she has been fully

A VERY Coon REAsoN.-The reason why only
one sample bottle of MERRELL's HErATINE for
the Liver will be sold to the same person, for
ten cents, by our Druggist, GlBBES s. CO., is
because of the enormous expense of importing
the lIcpatine into this country; but as there
are fifty doses in the large size bottle, it seems
two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for
a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver COM
plaint. All who have not had q sample bottle
are entitled to one for ten cents at GlBBES &
cos Drug store. Three dose relieves any case
of dyspepsia, constipation, Indigestion or liver
complaint, in the world. Regularssize bottles,
