We are m EARNEST.

We have large amount Of money due vi
On subscription, and we need IL badly jusl
now to pay these whom we owe. This is No
lesting matter with US, but serious, earnest
dun. Reader. if you owe US don't pass this
paragraph by with the thought that Il is
somebody else we are driving at II is you.
We have been publishing the DKnOcRAr for
twelve years past, and never dunned anybody
unless we needed money Therefore we AJAX
that every person who owes any amount
whatever on subscription viii confer favor
by strainins point if necessary to settle up
immediately. Our terms are cash in advance,
but in many cases we have sent the paper to
such persons as we deemed to be reliable
with the understanding that the money should
be Forthcoming at any time we wanted IL.
The time has come now, and we hope You
win not forget us. The sum due from each
is small, but it amounts to considerable in the
aggregate, and it will 10 us great deal of
good if you pay it prom. otly.

sAeppara,. Concert.

Jesse Sheppard, ths spiritual medium, gave
. concert at the College last Tuesday even
ing, which was attended by very fair audi
ienee. As musician, both instrumental and
vocal, he is excellent, but this thing of giving
the credit of his skin to the good, bad and
Indifferent spirits which inhabit space, is
rather thin, " in fact exceedingly transpar.
ent, though probably it proves more remuner-
ative to him to charge Sl.o0 and give the
credit Of the performance to some second
hand spirit, than it would to charge so cents
and take the credit himself-the money goes
10 him in each case.

new Churches.

Two of the United Prb rbbyterian oongrega-
tions in this county ipsond building fue
churches this season-one at Oak Point, in
Orleans precinct, and one at Halsey. The
one to be erected at Orleans is to be S6x6s,
20 feet high in the clear, and will have a
tower 20 feet high, and will cost about $1,000.
At Halsey Rev. T. ]. Wilson's congregation
has raised about $4,000, which will be ex-
pended in building a church and in buying a
lot upon which to place it. It will probably
be the finest church edi6cc in our county.

On looking through your paper of the

least some of theml are being deluded into
the service Of the Republican managers.
Their whole work can result in nothing but
great public misfortune. They cannot elect
their ticket. All they can do viii be to help
the Republicans elect their ticket, and | sup.
pose there is not man among them that de-
sires that result, at least no Democrat. They
certainly should ask themselves the question,
what can we dol' They cannot at most
cast more than three hundred votes, two.
thiras of which will be drawn from the Dem
ocratic ranks, which will result in sending L
the Legislature Mitchell Republicans, which
all sensible men of honest intentions must
view as a public calamity. How my old
friends the Crabtrees. J. T. Crooks, and
others, can be so hoodwinked is more than ]
can tell

no matter how perfect, will be lost on pop

In your last weeks issue you spoke about
