The mass meeting last Saturday was largely
attended, from the various parts of the coun-
ty. The proceedings are officially given in
another column, and little remains to be said,
except to say that Mr.. Davis friends out
numbered those Of Mr.. Ward at least two to
one. No instructions were given for the
reason that all felt that the delegates chosen
would, in the Congressional Convention, cast
their votes in accordance with the wishes of
the great maj ,rity of our people; and for the
further reason thas Mr.. Davis supporters did
not desire to Especially use the power they
had in the meeting. The only test made was
in the selection of delegates, when the men
puv forward by the supporters of Mr.. Ward
were beaten by vote of more than two to
one. The State nominating delegation was

Fine growing weather this week.
Improvements still going on at rapid rate.
The Company have ten or a dozen new
houses completed, and more building.
The depot is not quite finished, but Jack
tells me it is bound to be by the first prox.,
as he must then take charge of the express
matter, and trains can't stop at the old depot
on the heavy grade.
John Schwab, Juaior's, store is the place to
buy good goods, and cheap; but he has
fearful set of steps in front of his store
building 1 hear. however, that he intends
repairi,g them soon, as well as to make fur
ther improvements rendered necessary by his
largely increasing business. John is no
SLOUGH in business, if his steps are bad; his
store is always chock full of goods, and Gus
toners; his book-keeper, Fritz, and head
clerk, Clark, are gentlemanly fellows; but l
still, insist that step in the right direction
would be to mend his steps.
Rumor saws that our marshal arrested a
sober, peaceabe man, took him to lronton,
fined him four dollars and half, put him In
Jail over night, and took eight or nine dollars
to get him out next morning. The TACT is
that little discretion should be used in such
matters, or we won't know who is safe. 1t
isn't good policy to arrest men just to keep
ones hand in, or for the fee there is in
it.
