a Coop OFFICER. Mr. r. p. Steen, of
DAYTON, is in the city to-day on business and
is heartily greeted by many friends. Mr..
Steen ha, been sheriff of Columbia county
and during his lengthenei term he has served
with such credit and ability that 1t seems
pity he should not continue III office. But
he is on the ticket as a candidate for the leg
islature and is peculiarly fitted for the posi-
ton. No man is more trusted in Columbia
county and no one has a more perfect knowl-
edge Of its material wants. BY sending MIR.
Steen thrre by large majority the voters of
Columbia will act In q manner that will bring
credit upon them. The county is now fast
assuming very prominent position and
should be represented by iire, go-ahead men
who cannot be humbugged into voting as
they are directed, as has too often been the
case.

time ago \ town site was surveyed IN the

THE COUNTY ELEcTIoy.-The county cleo

worthy Of the name should vote the straight
ticket The names on the democratic ticket
are synonomous with honesty. -eapability
and energy They are men who are identi-
fed with the county and its people from its
earliest day. The time has CONF. for the
first time IN twenty years, when radical office
holders will be swept clean from Oft the face
of the earth, and democrats will show by
their vote on the 2,i OF November that they
will support the candidates who have local
habltation and name IN preference to those
who are mere carpet baggers who came here
for no other purpose han to get elected to
office.

ARTILLERY CoMPASy-At the regular

The TouCHET C0AL.-Mr. j. S. Boon, the
alleged proprietor of the alleged coal lands
On the Touchet claims that there is no fraud
about it, that there Is genuine coal and
plenty of it and the sample shown our re-
porter certainly appears we'll. He says that
there is an effort being made by certain par
ties to run down the value Of the article 50 as
to purchase the land at a low price and then
make fortune off of the mine. We assure
Mr. Boon that everybody desires coal to be
found III this section. and if he has struck
the genuine article the people are willing
he should reap the reward. We understand
that Mr. Ben Fathers says there is plenty
of coal in that vicinity Ii this is so it is the
best news for this country that could be re-
ceived.

evil At present there are five cases OF ty-

cases of fever in this city which the doctors
are almost vainly endeavOring TO kill, but
which battle their skill, on account of our
