The Staunton (Va.) correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says of the
Democratic nominees for the House
of Delegates in Augusta county. Va.
City Attorney Echols, one of the
Democratic nominees for the House,
is son of Gen. JnO. Echols, q dis
tinguishcd member of the House from
this county several years ago, and
now vice-prcsidcnt and manager of
the Chesapeake and Ohio and South
western Railroad. Capt. J. n. Opic,
the other nominee, was six years ago
the contestant for the scat in the
House with Hon. a. II. II. Stuart. on
4 majority of one vote. The election
was referred back to the people, and
Mr.. Stuart got the seat. Capt. Opie
was gallant soldier in the late war,
is a good stumpcr, and very popular
in the city and county. He was in
the earlier days of REIMBURSEMENT al
Iigned with that party, but soon left
its ranks, and has been an avowcd
and active Democrat ever since
The ticket is strong one, and will
be elected by :. majority that Augusta
Democrats will not be ashamed of.
Capt. Opic is native of jefferson
county, and his many friends here
will be pleased to learn of his NOM
ination, which is equivalent to an cleo
ton in his county.

Every citizen should subscribe an,

Every citizen should subscribe and
pay for n newspaper printed in his
own county. 1t is right and advisa-
bic to take city paper, or several of
them, if it can be afforded, but to take
a city weekly to the exclusion of the
home paper, is the embodiment of
foolishness. OF course, a county
paper, with one or two thousand sub
scribers, cannot be issued for the
same that a city paper with 100000
subscribers can. The reasons are too
obvious to mention.
No paper that goes to the fireside
of the farmer is so eagerly read as the
county paper. The head of the fam
lily and the wife and the children,
await with impotence its coming and
examine its columns with great inter
est. 1t is the country paper that re-
cords the deaths and marriages of the
persons ofyour acquaintance; that
informs you of holding courts, the
names of the jurors, the cases to be
tried and the parties intcrested-in
fact, that gives you all the legal news
and informs you of all other local
matters of interest. This is news that
no city paper can furnish, and if a
man ShOuIG rnOOivn n C1Oyou of 1.ifx,
newspapers he still could not do
without a good local paper.
