for the purpose of nominating candidate for Gov
and two candidates for Electors of President and
Vice President of the United States, and to trans
act any other business that may properly come be-
fore the Convention.
The basis of representation will be as follows:
Each 9th, town and plantation will be entitled to
one delegate and for every seventy-tve votes cast
for the Republican candidate for Governor in 1879
an additional delegate and fraction of forty votes
in excess of seventy-ve will be accorded delegate.
The State Committee will be in session in the
anteroom of the Hall at o'clock, on the morning
of the Convention, to receive the credentials of
delegates.
For the first time in the history of Maine the at
tempt was made in 1879 to deprive the people of
the right to choose their own officers, and to cor
ruptly continue in power those whom the people
had rejected The authors, abettors and accom-
plices in this crime against free government are
now seeking to come before the people under some
party nanie-availing themselves of an alias,
the common resort of those who seek to escape the
responsibility and punishment of their crimes.
Against these men, under whatever name they
may appear, all those citizens who condemn the
nefarious plot destroy the right of suffrage,
invited to unite, without regard to past party ali
ations, to preserve honest Government for the hon
est people of Maine.

Mr.. 10 Carter and lady, of Har

brother, Mr.. Lucius Yarbrough.
10 is the youngest of about doz-
en- brothers, all of whom have done
credit to their early training and
given a good character to Harris
creek.
Numbers, of our farmers are dig
ging wells on their premises and
the blasting in some places Is very
heavy. 1t is rumored that some
one of our young la1ies may be of
fered "Well's" free and without
blasting, though the blasting may
come in afterward. This is cheap
for good wells. We refer to that
well-looking young Wells from
Harris creek, who was yelling up
in our midst Saturday and Sun
day.
The negroes are having a big
conference at Old Hopewell and
thirty preacher are said to be in at
tendance. We hope they will per-
suade their hearers to pay more res
pect to private property. There Is
much com paint that orchards in
that vicinity are being robbed by
the Wholesale. One gentleman
told me he had fine crop of
peaches Friday, but on the follow
ing Monday four very sorry speci
mems OF the fruit were al that he
could find. 1t is said the negro
meeting will hold out six weeks.
If that is the case, fruit will be q
curiosity in the neighborhood and
ii new stock of chickens will have
to be. imported to raise from.
Our old friend, Simeon Cannon

Organization Notwithstanding
for Lincoln County to Consider.

IOI Gl1SV4u SSU44Iy w SSAASASS@'
To the CITIZEN:
The recent split in the Dem 1crat-
ic party OF Tennessee demands Of
the state credit party, the exercise
OF every precaution and wise con-
centration of it's strength, If we
would preserve its ascendency IN
our state and national leg slatures.
Division has assuredly weakened
US and encouraged our opponents,
who will profit by our mistakes or
folly. There was never a more
critical period IN the history Of
Tennessee politics, or time when
her best interests more urgently de
manded her soundest democrats or
her purest statesmen in her cJun-
ellis; and yet democratic folly,
perhaps, has not only endan-
gered our representation in our
state legislature, but also in our
national congress.
Our own county Of Giles, has,
very properly, we think, called a
convention to meet in Pulaski on
the Sth of September. We cannot
now afford TO fritter away our
strength upon a multiplicity OF as
pirants, or to neglect the duty of
centering upon the best man, if We
can determine who he is, in vies7 OF
the difficulties before US, to repre-
sent our county in the next general
assembly. Our sister county OF
Lincoln, who now names the Float
FER, should follow our example. II
is due to the interests OF the party
as well as to the several clever gen
tlemen who aspire to that position
and We trust an early day will be
set for that purpose. Let Lincoln
present us the man of her choice
and we will return for him the
handsome majority she polled fol-
tue Giles nominee two years ago
Indeed, we demand this as being IN
accord both with the spirit of the
compact between us, and with The
interests of a sound democracy
Let US hear from you, neighbor
