HON. H. a. ". HENDERSON.
On Monday evening, our people enjoyed
the pleasure Of listening to a sermon from
DIR. II. 4. NJ. Henderson. lie preached at
the Christian church by special request.
The sermon was most excellent one, even
for the gifted minister Il abosnded in
beautiful illustration, earnest thoughts,
sublime pathos, and flashes Of rhetoric. A.
a pulpit orator, DR.. Henderson is superior.
THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Was in session Monday and Tuesday Of
this week. The number Of claims allowed
was small, though very few Of those offer
ed were rejected. But there seemed to he
much less number than usual Of indi-
viduals, who have a claim "agin the Coun-
~ Court" On Tuesday the Court pro-
ceeded to the election Of a Common School
Commissioner. Dr. J. J. Brown, the pres
ent incumbent, and NJ. e. Miller, Jr., were
put in nomination and the ballot was TAX
en-. DR.. Brown received majority Of the
votes east, aud was declared elected School
Commissioner Of this county for the ensu-
ing two years.
VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
IL circumstances were different, II there
was not 20 much involved in the issue, We
would he glad to cast our vote next Tues
day for our honored fellow-countyman.
Judge J. q. Carter. But knowing there is
no hope OF his election, and knowing that
every Democratic vote east for Carter, en-
dangers the success of Tom Turner, whose
election il so important Ia the honest peo-
pie Of the District, we can not be governed
by our personal inclination. Tom Turner
is the man for every Democrat to cast his
ballot for. Democratic votes given TO
Judge Carter only endanger Turner'S sue
cess. Remember this, Democrats, and vote
solidly next Tuesday for Tom Turner.
