THE COUNTY CONTENTION.

| S"0's VI tne hepuDIcun JcntrH
Committee of the county seemed to have ar.
rived at tacit understanding, that it is "twc
o'clock until it's three" and their meetings
called Tor TWO O'Clock generally open al
three O'Clock p. M, as was the cise Saturday
AT the hour four or five of the old "stand.
bye" had gathered. and spent the time talk.
ing local politics, crops and the rest of II, the
conclusion arrived at being that the yield of
Republican votes this Fall will be much bet.
ter than the crop of wheat now being har-
vested.
t3:l5 the committee was called to order
by the chairman, John W. Parsons.
| The secretary called the roll OF members
and, allowing tor those whose presence was
assured at some time during the session, found
quorum present, fifteen members. Minutes
were read and approved.
A report was called for from the COMMITTEES
to hatch out plan for election of delegates
to the county county convention, and Mr..
Harold stated there was none to make. the
committee having never been called together.
The committee was discharged.
Mr.. Rocket stated he thought the time
fixed for the convention, August 4, was two
weeks too early, as many Of our farmers
would not then be through harvest, besides
which Grand Army Day came the same
week. The opinions of country members
were taken and found to be in favor of the
original date, which was retained, Rockets
motion being withdrawn.
The secretary read the following communi-
cation
