THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
Our readers will find in another place
the full proceedings of the county con-
ventlon held Friday afternoon at the
Court House. In regard to the nominees
we can affirm, without fear of centradic-
ton, they are in every way qualified to
fill the positions for which they are
named.
H. w. Elms has held the office of Coun-
ty Auditor for two terms, and under his
management the business of the Office has
been dispatched in prompt and efficient
manner.
NJ. NJ. Trowbridge, nominated by accla-
nation for Register of Deeds, has not
only distinguished himself for his official
ability, but in every way as worthy citi
zen and genial gentleman.
Allan Mollison, nominated for the office
of Sheriff, will bring to the discharge of
the duties Of his position the experience
of two terms of service in the same posi-
ton some - years ago.
Ormanzo Allen, renominated for the
third term as Probate Judge, has estab-
lished a reputation as faithful and eff
cient officer by public record beginning
with the organization of the county.
Lyman D. Baird, brought to the front
as the nominee of the convention for
County Attorney, is one of our aggressive
and rising young men, born in this coun
nd Io
o]d-time Republican majority.
G. Fl. Allen, renominated for County
Surveyor, and Dr.. J. P. Squires for Coro
ner, are we'll versed in the duties of their
offices by virtue of that familiarity which
comes with length of service.
Ormanzo Allen, further complimentcd
with a denomination by reclamation as
Court Commissioner, needs no additional
mention.
J. F. Tompkins, nominated for County
Commissioner for District No. 1, is high
ly regarded as capable and worthy citi-
zen.
The nominations for Representatives
are both popular, and creditable to the
party.
J. F. Carson, renominatcd the day be-
fore at Grand Meadow as representative
from thenorth district, has already serv-
ed one term in the legislature very accept.
ably, and will be returned in November
by handsome majority
H. w. Lightly, nominated from the
south representative district, is well
known throughout this section of tho
country as a thrifty farmer, and good cit
izen, and will poll the usual vote of tho
Republican party, to say nothing of moi
a few friendly votes from old neighbors
and associates.
Two features are especially noticeable il
the work of the conventions. They have
renominated nearly the entire board O.
old officials, and also. with few excep
tions, old soldiers, which will arouse {
friendly interest in their success, especially
among the old veterans.

AbductinG His Sw eetheart.

Quite sensation was created in South
Nashville lately by the fercible abduc-
tion Of Annie Mason. q pretty little
thirteen year-old girl, from her home on
Wharf avenue. near Lafayette stree I, by
. young man named Ed Norman, who.
the police say, is q stranger in the city.
Norman has been here about two wseks
and had formed quite an intimacy with
the Mason girl. On the night of the alb
duction, about o o'clock. be was at the
house Of her parents, and, watching bis
opportunity, seized the girl in his arms
and threw her over his shoulder, while
the women of the neighborhood, who
were reused by the cries of the girl, be-
gan screaming for help. Norman made
good his escape, however, and, after the
manner of the villain in the orthodox
dime novel, disappeared in the darkness
with his love upon his shoulder.-Nash-

Women.s W Wsists.


A popular young Philadelphia lady,
fond Of the antique and also Of dress.
asserts that II is all mistake about the
preservation of the natural proportions
Of the waists among the ancients. The
Greek beauties, she has discovered, wore
waist bandages, so that in all probability
Helen Of Troy had stays and Androma.
che wore corsets. These bandages con.
sisted of the "strophium." the cloth
worn round the bosom; the tenia, a sim
ple band below, and the ''zona, or waist
belt. Where bandages failed, in order
to be slender they had recourse to rem.
edy prescribed by Serenus Sammonious.
Aristcphanes says that the men were as
vain as the women in wanting to have
small waists. Homer, in describing
Juno's toilet when she wanted to cap.
tivate Jupiter, spraks Of the two-girdles
worn around her waist Martial ridi-
