edition at least, from this part OF our State.
We hereupon offer our compliments.
The instructive and interesting letters
Of Mr.. Campbell have been read with
avidity by the people in this locality, es.
pecially the one in regard to soldiers
bounties. We learn that there are several
persons in Warrington District who are
entitled to claim bounty, and We are GER
tainly under many obligations to the edi-
tor OF the ISTELLIGESCER for his labors.
Extensive preparations are being made
in this part Of the country for planting a
large corn crop. A great deal OF clearing
is being done, and we unhesitahngly say
The wheat looks finer than we ever saw 1t

doing enough work heretofore, and we
gladly note The extra impulse they have
received lately in this locality. twill take

labor be employed.
A number Of persons from this locality,
have gone to the West this spring, and
more are yet TO 60. We are sorry 10 see
this and can only account for it In the TACT
that in addition t.. finding better farming
lands they expect to find better laws and
less lawlessness.
Our people are taking great deal Of in

for years, almost, in this county, and the
people are tired.
Mir. Blaine Is the choice Of the Republi
cans for President and Tilden OF the Dem

liked by some on account oil his actions
In the Capital campaign. ]. n. Camden,
or Faulkner either, will suit the Democ'
racy.
For the other State Offices few candi.
dates are mentioned. Fall tickets are
handed from neighbor to neighbor fol-
county offices, and party lines will go
down when we come to vote. We have
some good men and we will mention some
OF them. For Senator, ]. II. Furbee will
be the man, and strong one he is. For
Legislators, P. G. West, Of our own sec
ton, will be one OF the peoples nominees,
The other will be eitherL. @. Powell, A.
H. Fleming, B. E. Harr, George W. Man,
ly, or Col. K. E. Fleming, either Of whom
will suit.
For sheriff, It is down on the books to
state that Amos PritChard is the man to be
elected.
For prosecuting attorney, (the most i'm

ty of opinion as to the man. We know Of
two lawyers OF Fairmont, one Democrat
the other Republican, either Of whom
can get our solid vote. Those men are
James Morrow and Thos. II. B. Staggers.
We would be willing to pay one Of these
men double to prosecute four years. One
OF them we mean to have, and we do not
prefer one to the other. The independent
voters here are united. The only difficulty
is 10 get such men to sacrifice their indi.

At Fairyiew last week we heard several
Democratic aspiran,s for this position,
named viz: The present Prosecutor, U.
N. Arnett, it,, L. B. Raymond and James
Haggerty. We do not know who the
Democrats will nominate. We do not
know that any one mentioned for that
nomination will answer up here. We
want q lawyer, and sound man every
way, man we can tie TO in emergencies.
We have named two.
Business generally Is growing livelier
as the mud disappears. Respectfully,
