again be afflicted with strictly private'
wedding. States Attorney Leek is IN duty
bound to see that "a fearful example" is
placed before the public that will serve to
assuage the bitterly disappointed and to
terrify any others of our popular society
young people who may contemplate sneak
ing into the blissful state of:matrimony un-
der cover of the night.
In the County Conventions held by the
Democrats in Johnson and Massac counties
last Saturday, Hon. F, Z. Albright carried
the delegations to the Congressional Con-
vention. This would give Mr.. Albright
thirteen delegates, assuming that William
sons nine delegates, who are not instruct
ed, are for him; and he claims they are.
He will need Just twenty-six more to be
nominated and he does not doubt that they
will be forthcoming,
DIR. Nowotney returned yesterday from
Florida, bringing with him samples of the
several kinds of delicate fruits
raised there in abundance, and very
hattering impression of the country gener-
ally. He has bought fifty acres of land
near Tampa, close to Mr.. j. II, Metcalts
place and not many miles from Mr.. Wright's
town. He intends to establish his son,
Henry, on a plantation there and may also
move down himself, with his drugstore.
Mr.. Sim Taber will remove soon TO
Fort Worth, Texas, to establish himself
permanently in business, and Mrs. ). Will
Hanson will occupy the house where now
Mr.. Taber, is, with her stock of millinery
goods. Mrs S. is already preparing to have
some important Improvements made in the
house, and when she is fairly under way in
her new quarters she will have the finest es-
adjustment in the country, outside Of ST.
Louis Chicago and other cities of similar
Importance.
Work has been begun under direction
Of Mr., Daugherty, on the bridge over Goose
pond on the county road. The bridge is
total wreck and even the approaches are
damaged. 1t will be restored

Pulaski Patriot "a new time card
will 90 into effect on the Cairo division of
the Wabash, St, Louis & Cairo Railway |
May Il, and two divisions will be made out |
Of what has heretofore been one. Instead |
Of running solid trains from Caro- to Dan
vile, a run of nearly 215 miles, one divi- |
sion will be from VinCennes to Cairo, and |
the other from Mount Carmel to Dauville.
This arrangement will necessitate double |
service on that part of the road between
Mount Carmel and St. Francisville, dis
lance of twelve miles. Heretofore q short
train has been running from Yincennes to
st. Francsvile to connect with the through
trains"
Democrats should give some thought |
now to politics and make up their minds to
axe an active part in the party machinery
while the preparations for the campaign are

too much business" as an excuse for at |
ending the primaries, Do not stand aside
With your hands in your pockets, letting
other men do the work Of organizing and
and then turn up your nose
and criticise sneeringly what has been

final result is only the gradual outgrowth
of many little gatherings and resolutions
and discussions, and local organic alton as
we'll as individual action. The primaries
are to be held in the five city precincts
next Friday and there should be large
attendance in every precinct.
The following extracts from half
column editorial in the jackson County
Era Of last week, the leading Republican
paper of that county, will be read with
much interest by Democrats generally, and
by Republicans also; AT this writing it
requires no prophet to recognize the fact
that John r. Thomas has every chance to
be named for the fourth tue as the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress. Naturally
the public would surmise that man who
is SO honored by the people must be ex-
ceedingy popular, but this case is an ex-
csption to the rule. A number of Office
holders and would-be ofhCer-holiers con-
spired together to thwart the wishes OF the
people and fasten upon the Republican par
ty Congressional candidate who knows
