The Arm Chair, a popular New

published an excellent portrait and
very just biographical sketch of

manlier and truer man can not be
found on the American press.
The legislative candidates of this
county, Messrs Cooper. Hicks and
Vaughan, spoke here last Thursday,
defining their positions on the ques'
tions of the day. They made a good
impression on their audience, and the
general feeling now is that all three
of them will receive the nomination.
We have heard it said that the on
ly man who was drunk here during
the convention lives in town which
does not allow the sale of liquor in it's
limits. We suppose he had not en-
ioyed drunk in several months, and
consequently could not resist the
temptation to indulge his appetite.
