rbeLn.t of 1lno SEASON.

The Managers of the Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati & St. Louis Railway, the we'll
known and popular 'FPan-Handle Route,''
have arranged for another Grand Excur-
sion to Chicago, on Tuesday, October 1st,
1873. This will positively be the last of
the season. Preparations are being made
on grand scale, and it is the intention
to make this outshine all previous efforts.
At no season of the year is an Excursion
SO pleasant.and agreeable, as in the Fall.
when we are not annoyed by the heat and
dust; and at no season of the year can
Chicago be seen to such good advantage as
at this time. The Great Chicago Indus
trial Exposition, which has been meeting
with unprecedented success, will be open
to visitors. This, of Itself, is worth trip
to Chicago. 1t is Impossible here to emu
merate the many attractions that this
great city of the west offers to visitors.
All We can say, is, go and see for your
! selves. Tickets will be good to return on
any regular train, for ten days. For any
further information about the Excursion,
address w. L. O'Brien, General Passen-
ger and Ticket Agent P, c. G St. /. R'y,
| Columbus, Ohio.

The nominees of the Republican party
for county offices are all gentlemen well
worthy of the offices for which they are
candidates Mr.. Welsheimer has served
one term in the Clerks office, and has
discharged the duties of the position well
and faithfully; he also served his coun-
try patriotically in the army during the
rebellion, and in that great struggle for
the life and honor of our Government
suffered the loss of leg; and therefore,
being competent and good soldier, he is
entitled to the suffrages of the voters of
the county.
Maj. James 7. Cook, our candidate for
Sheriff, is a farmer, good citizen, COM
petent, honest and faithful, and was also
brave soldier in the army against the
rebellion. Having these requisites for
public favor, he is entitled to the votes of
the people and election to the office of
Sheriff of our county.
The Probate Judge. John B. Priddy, is
a tried, faithful and true officer, and
spares no pains to accommodate all who
have any business to transact with him
in his official capacity; he should, by all
means be reelected to an Office he has so
well and ably filled.
Amos Thornton is one of our excellent
farmers, and knows the necessities of the
people of the country as well as anybody,
and will, if elected, perform his duties
properly. He, too, has served his coun-
try well and faithfully in the army when
brave men were needed to save it from
destruction by its enemies.
z. w. Heagler, for Recorder, is an old
citizen who has filled many important
years and never failed to discharge his
whole duty in every one of them. He is
now candidate for reelection, and his
past history as Il public officer and an
| hOnost citizen is sure guarantee of his
faithfulness to his duties in the future.
Thomas Larrimer, for Infirmary Dfrec-
tor, is an old citizen of our county; has
filled the position for which he is can
didate for reelection several years. and
has never failed to give satisfaction. He
understands the duties of the office, and
it would be Il mistake to fail to re-elect
him. 49,
Samuel Hooker, for Coroner, who has
also been citizen of Fayette county for
many years, if elected, will discharge the
duties of the Office faithfully. He was a
soldier in the army in defense of his
country against the rebels, and should be
elected, as we believe he.will be- 81
We think our ticket is one that is wor-
thy of the support of every Republican
voter in the county, and it will not be
necessary, in order to get better man
for any of the offices, for Republicans to
select Il candidate from the Democratic
ticket. Let us all, then, vote for the can
didates on the Republican ticket.

Wheat FaXette oonntK.

Itused to be thought that wheat could
not be uecessfuIly::raisedin in Fayette coun-
of the soil, but by thorough underdrain-
age and light cultivation, it has been
shown that as good aquality and as heavy
a yield per acre can be grown in Fayette
as in any county in the State. Mr.. James
Willis, one of our most energetic and
successful farmers of Paint township,
harvested this. year off of so acres 1920
bushels of wheat. This is a pretty good
yield, and shows what may be done by
thorough drainage and proper cultivation.
