We hardly pick up an eastern paper
but what we see a notice of some found
cry, factory or other industry starting
up, that has been idle from one to two
years. This is the best indication pos
sible that times will be better. The
great political revolution of last year
caused moneyed men to hoard up their
money, until there is surplus of CAPT
tai in nearly every eastern bank But
now that confidence is fully restored 1t
will soon seek an outlet in the West,
and all will be more or less benefited.
The West is now the most prosperous
section of the Union and what is need
ed is cheap money for development
We predict the time is not far off when
the demand will be supplied at a rate
not exceeding six per cent.

HAYES.

a party was given at a certain
place few evenings ago, at which the
young men were too bashful to call the
figures for dancing, the duties involved
having to be done by one of the young
ladies present and she proved equal to
the emergency. We would suggest
boys not be SO timid the next time.
We were informed that Mr.. EichOltz
1.-THE nurseymanl took quite an active
part in identifying the Floral Hall.
Parties are becoming quite popular.
We believe that on last Saturday eve
quite large surprise party called at
the residence of Mrs. Arnold's. We
are unable to give full particulars.
One Of our young men after complet-
iRg his toilet accompanied his arrival
TO the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Z.
Thistler, where they will be cordially
received and highly entertained. Hope
J. will give us full particulars Of the
party before next issue.

make Kansas his home.

Trust they will not be disappointed.
We were informed that the school
known as Baker school would commence
next monday morning under the man
agement of Mr.. George Allen, formally
of Ohio. He is a wide awake young
man and will doubtless give entire sat

profitable visit.

In the New York state convention
last Friday, Gov. HILL was nominated
by reclamation on first ballot, and will
be his own successor. His nomination
shows the unanimous choice of the
united democracy of the state, and
with HILL in the lead all fractional
differences will be overcome. He has
made an excellent record during his
brief gubernatorial term, and he is
much ADLER man than his Republican
opponent. The pretense that the
National Administration preferred
another is mere moOnshine. Mr..
Daniel Lockwood, of Buffalo, who
placed Mr. CLEVELAND in nomination
successfully and successfully for mayor
of Buffalo, for governor of New York
and for President of the United States,
ably seconded the denomination of Gov.
HILL, and it is not likely he would
have done SO if Mr.. CLEVELAND had
another candidate. The truth is that
the Administration did not interfere in
any way in the campaign. Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND and the New York members of
his Cabinet are shrewd enough to know
that the people of New York are entire
ly competent to select their own state
officers without federal interference.
There is every reason to believe that
Governor Hill, with the solid Democracy
at his back. will be reelected by at
least 1000 majority.

We have before us in pamphlet form
a historical sketch of the 22d Regiment
Indiana Volunteers, which was read at
a reunion of the Regiment recently
held in Indiana. From it we gather
the following tribute to the father Of
our townsman, w. n. Hendricks. VIM.
and his mother attended the reunion
and he was honored by being seated on
the rostrum and adopted as child of
the Regiment:
''Of Col. John A. Hendricks, who
was faithful and esteemed personal
friend, 1 cannot speak too highly. He
was a man of good natural and acquired
abilities, classical scholar, a graduate
of our State University, and lawyer
by profession. AS soldier and citizen
he was true hearted, generous and kind.
His manly nature scorned deception.
Frank and just, no breath of suspicion
ever rested on his good name. He pos
sessed the modeSty of real merit, beau
tifully and tremendously united with
true manliness of character. He never
faltered in duty, and was ever ready to
do good. He possessed excellent social
qualities, an ardent temperament and a
genial nature. His perceptive faculties
were keen and discriminating, slow to
decide but of firmness, of commanding
personal appearance, and agreeable pres
ence. He possessed the respect and
confidence of the officers and men of his
regiment His body was sent to Indi-
ana and buried with the civic and mill
tary honors due the rank of a colonel of
infantry. He rests now in the cemetery
of Madison. his native city"

In speaking of the democratic candi
dates the Gazette SOQS::


dates the Gazette says:
"We want TO defeat them because we consider
and privately believe the best interests OF the
county can be better subserved by placing the
Offices in the hands Of republicans rather than
with democrats"
George, isn't the Gazette little bit
off in its belief ? Can the Gazette point
to single republican treasurer and tell
us that he managed the office better
than the present incumbent, Thos.
Kirby? Can the Gazette point to sin
gle republican county superintendent
of schools and tell us that the schools
and their affairs were more prosperous
and better managed than under the
present efficient superintendent, ID. ID.
Hornaday Can the Gazette point to
single republican sheriff and tell us that
he managed the affairs of the office bet
ter than Henry Lifts and the present
sheriff, J. J. Miller? Again, can the
Gazette truthfully say anything against
the administration of single democrat
that ever held Office in Dickinson coun-
ty? The REFLECTOR takes pleasure
in saying that it can not. For the past
years the offices of treasurer, county
superintendent and sheriff have been
filled by democrats and they are men
of ability; men who are ever looking to
the interests of the people; and men
who are accommodating and polite to
all. The treaSurer's books have been
kept with perfect correctness, and full
and intelligent reports have been given
quarterly to the people of the county
thus letting them know just how the
financial affairs of the county stood.
No other treasurer ever let the people
know of the affairs of the county so
fully and plain as have Thomas Kirby.
Does the Gazette think the above facts
reason for a change? If it does the
REFLECTOR predicts that the people
will not. The people, in county affairs,
care little whether county officer is
democrat or republican just so long
as the affairs of the county are man
aged honestly and judiciously, and the
same courtesy is given alike to the rich
and the poor This we claim for NJ.

TuRNp1KE. N. C. Oct. /:

TURNPIKE, N. c., Oct. ~, '85. !.
Messrs Editors II notice an ordinance
passed by your city authorities saying
that the town has gone to the expense
of buying and putting up scales and
have hired man to weigh for the public
and be eitresolvcd thatany one else weigh
ing for pay or without pay should pay
twenty five dollars for every such offence.
Now, Messrs. Editors, suppose that
those in town who favor such an ordin-
ance will be ready to say that it is none
of our business in the country what laws
they have in the incorporation and they
are right until they pass laws that affect
US as farmers. Ifthe weighing fee had
staid at what it was I don't suppose any
one would have put up scales to weigh
for the public, but when they made the
fee 10 cents per head for sheep and cattle
alike while it seems small fee 1t
amounts to about ii per cent of what
our sheep will bring. Think::of it, 10 men
bring in 100 head of sheep each, your
man you pay to weigh them can in less
than half the day weigh them all, and
the fee would pay for the scales. I think
that your city fathers did not study this
matter over as they ought for some of
them are merchants and buy corn and
meat from the farmers and weigh it on
their scales and are not fined for it and
1 can't see why one man is not as good
as another in this respect. We. farmers
think we ought to have the privilege of
getting our cattle and sheep and hay,
weighed as cheap as we can and if your
city with its five thousand Inhabitants
cannot weigh as cheap as two boys, they
can sell their scales and quit. Those
boys bought their scales as well as the
town and think that they should weight
on them. think we need little tariff
reform close at home. think weshou1d |
learn the golden rule and do to others as
we would they should do unto us. Wei
all feel that we ought to have the privil- !
ege of selling to whom we please and
also of getting who we please to weigh |
what we sell. have. talked with many
persons about this matter and have not
found one yet that faynrs the ordinance.
