About all the objection the Mugs |
raise against the Citizens Ticket plat
farm, is the expense of holding an cleo
ton. The expense will not be to exceed
twelve dollars. Now, the Mugs are 60
ing to spend hundred dollars or more
Of their individual funds to "save the
public twelve dollars" Oh! what mag
nanimous Wumps they are!
Il have a small lot of well selected
piece goods. I still keep samples repre-.

ELast Friday, the new fire engine
was tried at the public well, northeast
corner of the square. Water was
thrown to within four or five feet of the
ball on tho City Hall spire. The en-
ginc proved satisfactory to the council
and the amount of purchase price ST.
800 was ordered to be paid. The en-
gine was tried again, Monday night.
From Washington dispatch to the

bly, be appointed Receiver of the Land
Office in Kansas, when the vacancy oc-
ours, which will be in n few weeks
Tully is son OF Rev d, Scott, of this
city. and resided here for short
time.
AT the democratic convention for
the Fourth ward, we learn from a dem
ocrat, there prevailed sentiment
among quite u number of the demo-
Gratis present that j. P.Sailor had made
n good councilman, and should be re-
elected. This, co ming from his polit-
ical opponents, was high compli-
ment.
Parties wishing Deeds, Mortgages,
Leases or Contracts executed, will do
well to call on me. My knowledge from
twelve years experience in conveyance
ing in this county as Notary Public and
AbStracter enables me to do business
promptly and correctly, Money to
loan on improved farms, at per cent
can always be found at my office,

Mr.. McIlwrath said at one of the
mugwump meetings that the Mug
wumps did good thing in New York,
last fall, and he was glad to see them
springing up here in Chillcothc. No
doubt, Mr.. McIlwrath expressed his
feelings correctly-the mugwumps cleo
ted democratic president, and he
wants them to elect democratic May
or and Council.
One of the speakers at the Wump
meeting last night, said a large ma
jority of the people of the city were for
restraining stock This is probably so,
but there is but one way Of finding out
the fact, and this is to take vote on
the question direct. Whe never it is
shown that the majority are in favor Of
the stock law, it can easily be enforced,
but never before.
The citizens ticket was brought out
by regularly called and well a TENDED
mass conventions of the Greenba ok and
Republican parties. The nominations
were unsought and were in every case
unanimous. There was no secret ses-
sion, no dark-lantern work, but free
expression Of the choice of the. people
assembled. We do not see how any
one who attended the convention can
honorably fail to support the nominees.
The Farmers Club, of Chillicothe
township, met at the Linville school
house, Friday night, April 24th 1885,
according to previous notice in the pa
pers. There was on hand for distribu-
tion, quite large amount of garden
and field seeds. The attendance was
large Notwithstanding the bad roads.
We are sorry to say there was consider
able confusion during the whole of the
exercises, and we hope the officers will
in all the meetings in the future, see
that we have good order.

chiefly of young men from Harvard and
young ladies from the Conservatory of
Music, with few other young people
of the congregation, as many as our
parlor would hold. They seemed to
have delightful evening in music, So
cial conversation and innocent amuse-
ment. The music began with "Wel- |
come" in our Sunday school Hymnal, |
and closed with God Be With You
Till We Meet Again. in the same book.
After singing this l made some remarks,
expressive of our regrets at partin, =
