p. d. Pike, the Republican NOM
inee for Town Representative, was
elected on the second ballot by a fair
majority, Notwithstanding the entire
civil board and all but one of the
counting board were Democrats and
Greenbackers, and two of them OPP
posing nominees for representative,
whose names stand recorded as voting
while their successful competitor did
not vote.
"A number of ladies with a COM
mendable spirit of patriotism entered
the Town Hall and took seats in the
gallery during the canvass of votes

music in front of the hall during the
entire afternoon. The whole Republi-
can ticket was elected by an unques-
toned majority, Notwithstanding the
combined strength of the Democratic
and Greenback parties.
The excitement attending the
election has in a measure abated, but
spirit of elimination is engendered
by few whose purpose is to seek
some avenue by which they may es-
cape the pangs of an ignominious de-
feat. Inasmuch as the opponents OF
the Republican party had the entire
official control of the election, with
the bare exception of one member Of
the counting board, there is apparent
unmanliness in their continued COM
plainings of unfairness, fraud, bull
doing, bribery, &C. All of this
comes with very bad grace from those
whose boaStings up to the hour of bal
loting knew no bounds. The lesson
of the boy that played with the mule
should be engraved in their memory,
that they may learn wisdom by ex-
perience.
We notice in the weekly Jackson
vile (Ill.) Journal, extensive reports
of the agricultural fair lately held ir
that city, and the first and second
premiums awarded to w. A. Edsor
and M. L. Edison, sons of Mr.. Ell

especial attention. These young mer
were few years ago boys among us
but, with the "Little Giants" pluck,
went West and settled near Jackson
vile, southern central Illinois. They
are extensive breeders of High Grade
Alderny cattle, Poland China swine
bronze turkeys, &c. They are also
extensive growers Of the best variety
of cereals, vegetables, grasses, &C., as
we'll as manufacturers of butter, fol
which they are awarded the highes
premiums. They however make stocl
their special forte, in which they are
acknowledged to excel.
The serenade given to Mr.. P. d
Pike, representative elect, by his many
friends on the evening of the I'll

ticable affair. A long procession wa.
