A heavy gale of wind passed over
this place last Wednesday, blowing
down several shade trees in the city
and taking one of the chimneys of
the courthouse. The corn was also
damaged to some extent.
II. j, Sizemore who ives confined
in jail in this place about six weeks
ago, and who was fined $500 for gam
bling with "whecl OF fortune" in
the northern part of this county,
made his escape last Saturday night
by cutting through the front wall of
the Jail, and then lowering himself
from the second story to the ground
with his blanket.

that the unanimous election on last

The Del Ordinance.
[Amita independently


It requires but few words to put the whole
to the public debt, as proposed by the late
constitutional convention, in it's proper light
before the people. The matter stands this
way:
1. 1t will not do to fail to ratify the new
constitution, for that would throw us back
where we started frOn--under the old cOnstf-
tuition OF 1868, with all its numerous evils.
Q. 1t will not do to ratify the new constitu-
ton and defeat the debt ordinance, for that
would be strai9htOut, absolute Reputation
Of the whole debt OF the State, since the
limit OF taxation under tue new constitution
will not afford any means with which to pay
any portion OF the debt, either principal or In.
terest. II the constitution is ratified and the
debt ordinance defeated the whole debt is re-
pudiated; and 1t will not DO to have the fair
lame OF our State tarnlShed with the foul
stain OF Reputation. The constitution must
be ratified to secure the innumerable benefits
it will confer upon the people, and the debt
ordinance must be ratified to preserve the
honor and integrity OF our State. 1t will not
do to accept the one and reject the other.
Both must be ratified together; that is, II the
voters wish to do that which 10 best for their
own welfare, and that which Is right ID Inc
sight OF God and man.
There are no real arguments against the
debt ordinance-all said by it's opponents Is
mere sophistry-whie the arguments In its
favor are the etc, nal principles OF honesty,
justice, righteousness and honor. It was the
very best thing the convention 8
\ BILE to do for us under the existing circum
stances. 1t cancels about the amount OF the
Lutte Reputation, and it affords the taxpayers
the relief they so much needed. Hence, We
urge upon the voters: Ratify the debt ordi-
nance: don't repudiate.

The Price Of Votes In Maine.
lPhiladelnl1ia Times

The great advantage that is claimed for the
constitutional amendment proposed In Maine,
making the legislative elections biennial, 10
that it will relieve the politicians from the
necessity of buying votes, and the free and
Independent citizens from the necessity OF
selling their votes oftener than once In two
years. The fact is that the price OF votes has
risen so In Maine, ranging this year from $40
to $40, and in close districts as high as 545,
that something had to be done. 1t will be
Just like your honest down Easter, however,
