The following have been added to
our list OF candidates since last issue
All OF them are men quite well known
over the county to leading republicans
and voters generally will have ample
time to consider their respective merits
between this and the primary. To give
an extensive or reasonably satisfactory
sketch Of each aspirant would occupy
entirely COO much of our space, and
would not be of benefit to individual
candidates without laying ourselves
open to the imputation OF partiallty,
even when entirely unintentional on
our part. We will therefore content
ourselves with simple announcement
of the gentlemen as they appear IN. our
list.
For Assessor We insert the names
this week of MIR. H. C. Sohn, of Wilson
township, and Mr.. JOSIAH Wright, of
Benton township.
For Sheriff-We add to the list the

Fine Stock Items.

We learn that Mr.. B. S. Kerns and

congratulate themselves on their in

Mr.. Kerns, imported Endora No.

OF February, that weighed at one day
old 1a6 lbs; at the end of thirty days
the calf weighed 2oS lbs. and at the
end Of sixty days a72 lbs. The calf is
well proporuoned, fine length, deep
chested and beautifully marked and is
one OF the finest we have ever seen.
Mr.. Kern's herd offive Holstlne cattle
were purchased at the Stil!well sales

months old April a2, was weighed las
Friday and tipped the beam at I74s
pounds. His young bull, Domino
thirteen and half months old weighed

An Explanation.

EDITOR GRAPHIc.-By permission
we will give you few pointers on the
Barbed Wire Club. The object of the
club is mutual Improvement of mind
and muscle, Horticulture and fun. The
initiation ceremonies are severe, if the
candidate IS not very submissive to the
conductor in charge. All orders must
be obeyed quickly, to prevent aeci-
dents. One young lady came very
getting her upper lip knocked off by
not getting down quickly enough when
told to. Other members have their
hands scared by not attending strict
ly to business. They also have con-
tests of agility to deyelope the muscle
At the May apple contest there was
two of the contestants tied and the
prize will have to be divided. The
membership is limited and no more can
join with out some Of the present men,
bers die or remove from the state. We
ale told that its secrets are fearful, and
that is the reason they have to take
in two or more at time, for it would
paralyze one person to have to keep
alone all the secrets. The natives will
be startled this fall if they see them out
in dress parade, and have a public
contest of which there has been some
talk. As soon as the Constitution and
Bylaws arrive from Milwaukee, / will
see that you get copy.
Respectfully,

POLK AND DALLAS.
Two Forty Year Old newspapers
4 Polk and Dallas Campaign
Sheet.

Through the kindness OF Mr.. Q. 5.
Bright we have been permitted to look
over two well preserved copies Of the
"OAio Coon GATHER democratic
campaign paper published at Column
bus, Ohio, in rS44-just forty years
ago. A brief glance over the columns
of this paper, demonstrates the fact
that party rancour and the use OF In
temperate and abusive language was
quite as prevalent forty years ago as
now. Indeed we do not recollect OF
any reputable political journal during
the past ten years that can approach
the .Coon Gather" before US, in that
style Of political discussion.
The last issue of the paper was on
November 10th. Enough news had
been received at that date to indicate
the defeat of Mr.. Clay and the election
ofPelk. The head lines are very strik-
ing and unique and dead coons figure
extensively as Illustrations ofthe result.
As an evidence of methods of collec-
ting news forty years ago we quote the
following.
"Mr Edward Hall, of this city, ran
the express through from GAINESVILLE,
81 miles, in four hours and two min
utes-huzza for the democracy"
Both of those old papers are in
