Mr.. Editor can't you come down TO oul
Democratic Congressional Convention to.
morrow; great preparations are being
made; the "Wigwam" in which to hold
the Convention Is about finished; 1t ID
large and commodious. capable Of seating
100 persons. Our Street Commissioner,
who is Republican, is engaged in clean.
ing up the streets and putting every thing
in trim. Every one here without re-
gard TO party. viii do all In their
power to make our little village
present cheerful, inviting appearance.
This will be done on account Of personal
considerations entirely disconnected with
any feeling Of iealty to the Democratic
party. This place Is Republican II the
county Is Democratic, and large por.
ton Of the delegates to the Democratic
Convention win have to accept the hos.
pitality OF Republicans or 70 hungry and
without shelter while here, but We are
glad that the Democracy are coming here
While they accept the hospitality of our
Republican citizens il will afford Us 0
chance to do little missionary work
amongst them.

otice.seeker chance to speak, keeping
q large number Of litigants waiting to
have their cases in court disposed Of. ]

Of the Court House to-day they aatly re-
