HigginsviIle Advance:-"Allth this talk about
democrats scratching the county ticket origi-
mates from republicans. The whole ticket
will be elected by a larger majority than
ever. All that is required of the democrats
is to do their duty, and visit the polls on
election day and cast their ballots for the
democratic ticket, and the republicans will
be showed under so deep they will not al
tempt to bring out another ticket in twenty
years."

Deputy Sheriff Jos. Chinn received a dis
patch for Sheriff Bowman, from Sheriff Lewis
Of Carroll county, to arrest two men, CroOke
and Rush, travelling with teams. last We'd
nesday. He had hardly finished reading the
message when he saw the teams. a bay mare
and gray horse, and q bay mare and a sorrel
horse, pull into Main street. He accosted the
men and they readily gave their names.
He at once arrested them. A third man was
with them. but he did not modest him. From
Rush and from the third man he took
each a pistol. The men were wanted in
Carroll county for having left for parts un-
known with two of the horses which were
mortgaged. Tn mortgaged team was, the
next day, taken back to Carroll county and
the men were released, as the real guilty
person was the father of Rush.

twill be the time prescribed by the Know

the wife of Albert Scott, a boy. Rev. w. A.
Crouch, of Lexington, preached here on last
Sunday to u large congregation at which time
Rev. Mr.. Dulin was ordained, Revs. Crouch,
Powell and Hyde officiating. MIR. Henry
Ritter is very sick with typhoid fever, DR..
Wood, of Odessa. attending physician. Mrs.
A. o. Slaughter has been quite ill but is bet
ter. Mr.. H. H. Tickle, of Odessa, talks of
opening a grocery here; we would say to him
come ahead, it rs badly needed. Byron
Harlan, Esq, will have a sale of personal
property on the old Beall farm on the Odd, he
intends moving to Kansas. Mr.. Marion

Wash, the colored man of the Durbin gang,
has gotten back from his mission at the state
capital; he had the sympathy of the com
munity here. Politic ally, Greenton is sleep
ing, but when the sun has gone down on
November 2. as regards to Philips she will
be found solid.
Mr.. Frank II. Thomas voted at the primary
election; indeed Was u candidate Tor cousta-
BILE. How can he, consistently, support a re-
publican for sheriff? We are told that he is
soliciting votes for MI. Clark on the plea that
he is promised a deputyshIp. Now this is all
wrong. In the first place, having parlici-
pated in the primary. and had his chance
therein, he Is in honor bOund to support the
nominees. And, further, the promise of a
for support at the polls is bribery
as defined by The statute, and would, were it
proven, disqualify Mr.. Clark from holding
the office if he could be elected, which is not in
the range of probability even. Mr.. Thomas
has been a democratic official, a constable,
and he should know the law For Mr..
Thomas benefit, rs he does not seem to re-
member the law we will here print tiff
any person shall, directly or indirectly, give
or procure to be given, or engage to give any
money, gilt or reward, or any office, place Or
employment upOn any engagement, contract
or agreement, that the person to whom. or to
whose use, or on whose behalf. such gift OF
promise shall he made, shall, by him self Ur
any other, procure or erdeavor to procure
the election of any person to any Office, at
any election by the electors, or any public
body, under the constitution or laws of this
state. the person 81 offending shall, OF ron

punished by Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for a term not exceeding five years."

as his yote for the free coinage of silver. In
fact, every vote that he cast in Congress,
til At he referred to and took credit on him
