WASHINGTON county held a
Democratic convention recently
and among other names, we see
that Capt. M. Williams of In
dependence, was nominated for
the Legislature, and Hugh Lewis
re-nominated for County Clerk.
Both of these gentlemen are
among the best men in the
county, and we have no doubt
that their Democracy, coupled
with ther gentlemanly bearing,
as well as their known integrity
and capacity, will cause them to
be elected by a handsome ma
ority. -Ge0rget0son Record.

The Denison Hnaldremarks

THE Denison Herald remarks !:
Gold has suddenly and myster-
iously hoped up to 100 IL in
New York. No cause is given
for this rise" An effect cannot
be produced without a cause.
The cause of the rise in gold is
no doubt the effect of political
complications. The nomination
of Butler, and the so-called
Greenback victory in Maine. If
the ultra Greenbackers ever sue
coed in getting into power, and
issuing that fiat money, about
which they make SO much talk,
gold will commence hopping"
up, then running up, and finally
will take to jumping until it gets
SO high that a fiat dollar wont
reach 1t at all.

The newspapers and the pull
pit is discussing the question of
Providence and the yellow fever.
A revolutionary hero once said
to his soldiers: "Trust in Provi-
dence and keep your powder
dry" The fever plague can be
traced to natural causes without
the interposition of Providence.
In the case of the patriot it
would seem that while he put
great faith in Providence, he
knew that no reliance was to be
placed on wet powder. Hence
the deduction: However much
faith people may have, sanitary
precautions can not be neglect
ed with impunity.

"A few days since Lizzie Zilk, a

Zilg, Esq, of Eckhart, aged about
twelve years, was taken sick, and
died Thursday evening about nine
o'clock. She was strong and hearty,
and her sudden illness and death is a
topic Of the most painful interest to
hundreds of friends. The cause of
the sad event is assigned to the pres
ence of malaria arising from a large
number of dead hogs which lie near
Mr.. Zilk's residence, having been
hauled there by citizens during the
winter after dying of disease. This
is the physicians judgement, who has
also advised the immediate removal
and interment of the carcasses for fear
of further danger to the health of The
community.
