At the conclusion of Mr.. Botelers address

Hon. Speaker the handsomest boquet we ever
saw.

grand son of Hon. A. r. Boteler, and who
has been filling the position as Page in the
House of Represen tatives during the whole
of the last session OF Congress, returned
home last week.
We had pleasant visits by Messrs. John
II. Strider aud and Geo. W. Eichelburger,
of this county, last week. They are sound
on the next legislature question, and we sug>
gest that they be our next representatives,
They arc two of the very best men of our
county.
On Sunday of last week while Mr.. J. Tay>
lor Hill aud family were visiting his parents,
Mrs. Hill stepped upon the hand of her little

three years Old and very interesting.

Washington, our present genial and affable

nesday last. Mr.. ". has filled the Office

ture the assertion that no more competent
gentleman can be selected in the county,
and when we have an officer of that kind our
people should return him.
