lit Is stated that Samuel Brady, ESQ.,, Of the
ID district, will be Democratic candidate for the
Office Of Treasurer and Collector of Taxcs. II 10
also said by the the friends Of Mr.. Richard c.
Tracey Of the sth district. that he intends to enter
the contest for Sheriff and will put forth his best
efforts 20 secure the nomination. IL 10 very
common remark now anon. the better class Of
Democrats that "unless We put up q better ticket
In 1881 thanwe did in 1879 We will never be able
TO pull Il through" Perhaps they forget the reg.
istration books. They would beat "the Oldest in
habitant" and have several hundred TO spare.
Some northern tree agents were around
here last Sprisg and sold . variety Of pear trees
representing them 10 be two years DID, aud charged
50 30 apiece for them, when in reality the trees
we're but one year old. The same fellows also
sold grapes, charging some at the rate Of 81 per
dozen and others at the rate Of 80 per dozen. This
may be all right for tree agents but IL any else
did business on the same plan he would most
likely be drummed out a. q first class fraud.
