the most beautiful picturesque part Of the
whole Journey. I.igonier is a very old and
pretty little town and is quite e summer

far as its situation is concerned. it has the

tainly first-class hotel in every respect
about hundred guests there. Persons
wanting rest and fresh air couldn't go TO a
better place. The crops along the entire
route are magnificent. The wheat, oats
rye, grass, corn and potatoes couldn't look
better. Harvesting hadn't commenced

two weeks later than we are here. Take the
ride all the way through, it was certainly
a most delightful one.

SPECIAL MESTIoN.-During recent visit
to Johnstown, we dropped in to see Curt G
Campbell, the popular Main street druggist.
and found him courteous and obligine
gentleman. Mr. Camphell's store is at 264
Main street, and his line of Drugs, Medi.
cines, Dye Stutfs. Perfumes. and Toilet Ar.
ticles is large and complete. He keeps no
old, stale stock, but everything fresh and re.
liable. We would advise our readers to call
on him when in JolnstOwn: and our farmer
friends and physicians will find il to their
advantage TO consult him on any thing in
his line before purchasing elsewhere.

THE VALUE OF NoTE.-To show on how
slight a circumstance matters may turn
sometimes, the recent contest for the nomi-
nation of District Judge between Judge
Leonard and Mr.. Sewers is an apt illuStra-
ton. year ago one of the citizens of
Greenfield had difficulty with another
one His name was on the ticket as one of
the delegates to the county convention from
Greenfield in the interest of Mr.. Seeyers.
The person with whom he had difficulty
voted for the Servers delegation except this
man, whom he scratched or. The SeeVe-s
delegates were elected by majority of one
vote, except this man, in whose place .
Leonard delegate was elected BY one vote.
At the county convention the delegates
stood twenty for Sewers and twenty-one
for Leonard. and Leonard got the whole
delegation, which gave him the nomination
If the man had not scratched the Sewers
delegate, the number would have been re-
versei, end the delegates stood twenty-one
for seevers and twenty Fof Leonard, and
Sewers taken the whole delegation. -hieh
would have secured him the nomination
So il will be seen that this one vote cast At
the primary in Greenfield really decided the
whole matter and illustrates the necessity
OF always getting all the votes yoa can
