cendiary origin. Mr.. G. drove one of

In the Field.

The friends of James c. Robinson.
of this town, are urging his nomination
as Democratic candidate for sheriff of
this county, with a fair prospect of
success. His name was presented to
the county convention two years ago.
and received the highest number of
votes next to the successful candidate.
The contest lies between Duck Creek
and East Dover Hundreds, and the
people Of this Hundred feel that the
- turn" for candidature naturally be-
longs to them, the selections having
been from other places for the past
twelve years. Mr.. Robinson, if he
should receive the nomination and
election, would doubtless fill the office
with conscientious fidelity.
