Now, it appears 10 me that any

was only to remind the Beat Exec

WAS to call mas meetings in each

Special N. o. ~Picayune.
WOOdville, June 25.-The contest
for Representative of tue Sixth
Congressional District, in this State
excites but little interest in this,
Wilkinson county. Judge Van
Eaton, the present incumbent, is so
overwhelmingly strong here that
the opposing candidates will find
but - very sorry welcome. The
opposition, taking advantage of the
Judges absence, who, too conscieu-
tlOus to leave his duties at Wash.
ingtOn even to further his own in.
terests, have had premature SON.
ventiOns in the counties aud tried
to create a boom, but in spite of all
their efforts, the tabulated returns
will show that Van Eaton will be
triumphantly returned and be his
own successor.
