of mass of petrified hickory nuts picked

curious freak of nature.
AT the Republican city conven-
ton held at the Office of The REPUBLI-
CAN last evening, the following delegates
were elected to the Republican county
convention, to be held at Jefferson to-
day: 1st ward, j. T. Moak, VIM. L.
Norris; End ward, 81. T. Eberle, G.
Bergman; Sd ward, Jesse Stone, S. 8.
Woodland; 4th ward, G. FL. Ferry, @. E.
Straw; 7th ward 81. Murphy, A. Boomer.
AT the last Democratic state conven-
tion the basis of representation to future
gatherings Of the party was changed 90
that instead of choosing delegates by as
sembly and senatorial districts, hereafter
they will be selected on the basis of the
Democratic vote cast at the last presi-
Dental election. Although the basis
was not specified by the convention,
yet the Democratic committee will doubt
less follow the Republican precedent of
allowing one delegate for every 500 votes
or major fraction thereof. This rule
would give Jefferson county 8 delegates
aud Dodge county IL delegates, an in
crease of 2 in Jefferson aud in Dodge.
Our townsman, William Grange,
attained his S0th birthday yesterday, and
be made his accustomed visit down town
as usual. Born in Ireland in 1906, the
battle of Waterloo, the abdication and
exile OF Napoleon Bonsparte, and other
like events of the old world, within the
memory of but few, are still vivid in his
mind. Within his time the advances
made in methods of travel and in every
department of science are marvellous to
contemplate The United States has
grown from few millions to be a nation
of over fifty millions of people. Mr.
Grange came to Watertown thirty-nine
years ago.
