member of the Greenland Fishing COM

and is also an extensive dealer in furs.
He has been away from his home since
February, 1888, during which time he
has visited most Of the important trad

TIFF REPUBLICAN, CANVASS.

Secretary MCPHERSON, of tho Republican
committee, is in daily receipt of many letters
form ali parts of the country, which are full OF
the most abundant promise. He says that he
had been familiar with and an active paruci-
pant in all the campaigns for the past twenty
five years, and he had never known a more ia
yorable outlook at this early stage. Referring
to the great meeting Of Irish Republicans in
New York, he said:
1t has indeed a peculiar Significance from the
fact that thousands of enthusiastic men who
attended that meeting have hitherto been demo-
Gratis and never before houted for Republican
candidates and principles. They belong to a
large class of voters who have been considered
as the especial property of the Democratic
matter what it was, under any and all circum-
stances. When they revolt and refuse to be
longer led around by the nose, it means m
thing. have believed for years that q break
or TINS Kind would come sooner or latcr. II is
not confined to any one section, but is general
all over the country. Such newspapers as the
Irish World and Irish Nation, in New York,
and the Citizen in Chicago, exert q widespread
influence among the people of that nationality
and descent. Large Irish Blaine snd Logan
clubs are being organized everywhere, and
there are indications of regular stampede.

committee:
Dear Sir: The pending presidential Gem
palgn is of unusual Importance to the country.
Every Republican is deeply interested in its re-
suit The national committee, on behalf of the
Republican party, desires to make it justly
vigorous and effective, and success ia certain
in November. Funds are required, however to
meet the lawful and proper expenses of the
compaign, and to provide the same the COM
mittee finds itself dependent upon the liberal
ity of Republicans who will make such volun-
tary contributions Us their means will permit
and as they feel inclined to give. You
are therefore respectfully invited to
send as soon as you conveniently may, by
draft on New York, or postalmoney order, to
the order of B. F. Jones, chairman of the Re
publican national committee, 242 Fifth avenue,
New York city, such sum as you may dcisre to
contribute for the objects before mentioned.
Receipt for the same will be sent by return
mail. The committee cheerfully calls the atten-
ton OF every person holding any office, place,
or employment under the United States, or
any of the departments of the government to
the provisions of the act of congress entitled

tions of the County say, however, that
they have not suffered from the drouth,
and that they will make the best crop
they have made in several years. These
are comparatively few, though. The ma
jority of the farmers owe their entire cot.
ton crop, not having been able to pay out
last Fall on account Of the short crop,
and unless the price of cotton remains up
they will not be able to meet their obli-
cations this Fall. The past Summer has
been hard one with everybody, and We
believe our people have been more eco
nomical OH that account, therefore the
amount of their Indebtedness for this
years supplies is not as much as it would
have been under other circumstances.
There are great many farmers who do
not think their crop will be as good as
last year, and all of them are gloomy as
to the outlook. Another hard year is
ahead of us, and We should prepare for
it by large sowing of oats, wheat and
barley. From all reports we are of the
opinion that the crop of the County will
be about three-fourths of an average crop.

Townvillc Correspondence.

A most distressing accident occurred
last Wednesday, the 10th, at o'clck p.
M, on Maj. D. L. Cox's place, which re-
suited in the death of Mr.. T. j. Brown.
ing's 16-year-old son George.
The young man was driving load of
fodder drawn by two mules from the
field to the house. On the way a part OF
the load slid forward, carrying the young
man with it. He caught upon the dou.
ble.tree. This frightened the team, which
began to run at full speed. A hundred
yards from the point of starting the team
ran against partly decayed stump about
two and half feet high and some ten
inches through. Between this stump
and the wagon bed the young man was
caught and crushed. The conclusion was
so great as to force the stump asunder,
and the team dashing on the young man
dropped to the ground limp and dying.
His father, who was tieing fodder close
by, got to the scene in moment and
raising his poor boys head tenderly
AooAu AiAA oetOh q ldAiip5 pAtOouS Solt 1oI
his mother. He expired in a few minutes,
his head resting on his fathers arm, the
Internal hemorrha,e q oozing the while
from his nose and mouth. The wounds
consisted Of severe bruise on the side of
the face, the literal crushing of the left
side, and the fracture of the left arm
above and below the elbow. The spinal
column was also injured.
The young man was consistent men,
Der of the Church, and was Mr.. Brown
ing's only son. The bereaved mother is
an invalid and blind, so that the shock
falls upon her with great heaviness.
Mr.. John G.. Cox was seated on the rear
part of the load when the mules began to
run, and after the young man, who was
driving, had fallen of, he jumped to the
ground, receiving rather severe sprain
of the knee.
