GRAPHIC.-The election is over, the
hogs still at-large, and the excitement
cooled off, and the weather also. The
elect on passed off quietly and good
naturedly no one drunk, noisy or in
clined to be quarrelsome. The cleo
ton was held at New Baden and the
citizens of that quiet, little village
seemed to vie with each other IN trying
to make all feel good-natured md
pleasant. Some Of our officers got left
in the race, and of course. feel some
what disappointed at the result, but all
seem to try to yield to the inevitable,
believing that is best for the major ty
ty rule. Mr.. J. H. Eastin, who seems
to have lifetime lease on the Office,
was reelected for the Office of Justice
of the Peace by heavy majority. Mr..
I. w. Prentiss was elected as our other
Justice of the Peace, and Mr.. Jerome
Elbertson as Constable. Mr. Prentice
Is young man of ability and we think
he will dispense justice satisfactory to
all parties. If any of our young folks
are contemplating matrimony the
Squire will be happy to have them
cali on him and he will endeavor
to perform the ceremony in pleasant
and agreeable manner and stick them
so tight and fast together that it will
take all the lawyers in the county to
separate them. Nov my young friends
