The wlndham County senator.blp.


Many vital interests affecting the welfare of
the state will come before the next legisla-
ture, and it is highly important that true men
of sound principles compose that body.
Among the several places to be filed two
men are to be nominated in this county for
the Senate, the higher branch of the Legisla-
ture. The common usage has been to select
one candidate for that office from each pro-
bate district in the county, and the question
arises, where is the best man TO nominate
from tho southern district There are, prob
ably, many men who would creditably fill the
place if elected but under present circum-
stances il seems 10 be a matter of common
courtesy to nominate a man from the western
part of the district-as no one has been sent
from that part for some length Of tme-pro-
vided as good or a better man can be found
in that section as elsewhere in the district
We understand the people in that section are
talking of w. P. Jones, Esq, as the right
man for that place. Mr.. Jones sustains an
excellent character, has u clean record,
is well known in the county, especially in the
western and southern part of it, having been
a partner in the well known mercantile firm
of Stetson Il Jones Of Jacksonville for about
twelve years, and by his urbanity and fair
dealing has secured the favor Of the people
and been successful in that business He has
also from time to time filled quite a number
of places of honor and trust having twice
represented the town of Nottingham in the
legislature, and has faithfully discharged the
duties devolving upon him in every position
in which he has been placed. He has un-
questioned ability, and holds and would carry
out, If elected, those vital principles cslculat-
cd to subserve the best interests Of the coun-
ty and state. Should the coming convention
nominate him for Senator, we think the peo-
pie would readily ratify the nomination and
unite in electing him to that Office, feeling
that he was the right man in the right place.
We think these few remarks might be re-
garded as a voluntary expression of the views
and feelings of many citizens of the county.

The Baltimore Day has this to say about
the sermon preached in that city before the
Grand Army, last Sunday night, by Chaplain
in-Chief Lowering Of Worcester Mass:
Barring a slight tendency to exalt the ma
ton by adjoining it with capital N, and to
lean slightly toward the idea of centraliza-
ton, there was much in it to admire, and the
speaker was evidently sincere in his utter
ances. 1t would be well for some of those
clergymen who carry their craftsmanship into
the pulpit, and show themselves politicians of
the lowest type, to follow Mr.. Coverings ex-
ample and preach the gospel of peace and
good will instead of hate and enmity."

Intermediate school on tho introduction OF

work has always been of the most valuable
kind, and she has won the hearts Of both pu-
pills and parents no less by her faithfulness
