our wheat harvest is now upen Us. and
IN consequence of great scarcity Of hands
all OF our loafers and dead beats are out Of
town Farmers are paying from 81 80 10
s2'o0 day Tor harvest hands. and some
say they will be obliged to turn their hogs

to get hands to cut their wheat
Our precinct and county Democratic
conventions passed off quietly and resulted
IN inStructing for Oberly for governor, J
II. Samson, Of this county, for member Of
state board of equalization; Lemma for the
senate and Buckingham for representative.
The convention instructed for JUDGE
Crawford, who declined the instruction and
Judge Hieman Of Jonesboro was instruct,
ed for instead. The favorites here are Craw-
ford and Halliday, but since both decline
1t seems that the office is to 20 begging
Judge Hileman would certainly make

go as you please" This will have the eff
feet TO bring out all the voters. for il there
is ticket in the field a good many will
say "Oh, well the ticket will carry any
way and III not 60"
Couldn't you send canvasser up this

Don't you think is bad time for Messrs.
