BARTERBROoK, Sept: 10Th, 'S4.
Messrs. Editors The spirit moves me
to let you and your readers know what is
beiag done at our precinct towards in
creasing the county majority this fall for
the Democratic ticket.
AS has already been noticed, Cleve-
land, Hendricks and Tucker club was Or
ganiZed two weeks ago, and is now
ready for an active campaign.
Last Saturday night. renewed energy
was instilled and encouragement given by
an address from one who proved himself
thoroughly master of his subject, Mr.. H.
st. George Tucker, of your city. Mr..
fuckers speech was a comprehensive re.
view and ventilation of the record and
platform of the Republican party. He
sought not to charm the ear with empty
flights Of oratory, but rather to convince
by sound logic.
Plank by plank did he tear up the yaunt-
ed platform of the Republicans, and show
their hypocrisy and double dealings, and
when he finished there was a universal
sentiment to ''turn the rascals OUT" and
to this end will the Barterbrook majority
be given on the 4th of November.

MI. SoLoN, Sept. IS, 1884.
When Readjusterism was in full bloom
here, the late Mr.. Van Lear carried this
precinct 10y so majority. Since then the
Democrats have been stealthlly gaining
upon those figures and last fall gave
Echols and Ople 60 majority. This fall
| the majority will be still larger. Mr.. Jas.
| Todd, one of the oldest citizens and
staunchest Democrats in this section, puts
the Democratic majority for Cleveland
and Hendricks and Tucker, at over IS,
and feels very sure of it. He reports that
a good many of the old ReadjusJers will
vote the Democratic ticket in November
and some of the most prominent ones will
not vote at all.
1 find from information gathered here
and there in this county, that the figures
will be very much changed from the vote
of last fail by the Readj ulster 'stay at
home'' voters. They are not willing to
vote with the Democrats, who they have
been having such a graveyard fight with
for the last six years, and they will not
allow themselves to be let down by Ma
hone and his tools into the Republican
party. Their old party pride can't stand
that and they can't join the negro party
in the war against their own race. find
politics very warm here and everywhere
else in this county, and by November it
seems as if the Democratic organization
will be perfect.
The country around Mt. Scion, Oh
Messy Greek, is very fine; some of the
best wheat lands in the county. Mr.. JAS.
II. Todd has 35.acre field Of wheat which
runs up TO the edge of this village, and
which this year averaged 80 bushels. The
field is now covered with fine growth of
clover and timothy; and if the season had
been suitable, it would have made fair
crop of hay this fall. One thousand
bushels of wheat on So acres is hard to
beat anywhere.
The bold spring here which heads
Messy Greek, is damned to supply Cupp IS
Mill with water, and the pond thus form
ed is magnificent lake of crystal water,
with wild ducks skimming its surface, a
pretty place for boating and one may ride
many a long mile without finding its
equal. Well. the mail is leaving; SO will
stop for this time. T. G. M.
