 Circuit court has been rather slim ly attended, owing to farmers being busy with their crops. The time for our circuit court should be changed to some other months than May and November, as these are the busiest months in the year with the farmers, and they have thus been greatly in- convenienced for five or six vears.- We want a change.
 An announcement in a paper for , office. places the candidate on record as agreeing to abide the nomination, and at the same time informs the people who is running. so they can make up their minds as to who they want It does not nccessitate q scramble unless candidates cause it by personal canvass.

 Our correspondents continue to insist. of their own accord. that can didates announce themselves. This is free country, and any man may announce for office. without being q chronic office seeker: this custom has never hurt the party, that we ever heard of, and a halting, or ap- ing of the rag-and-bob-tail element by few oiice-se ekers. will do no good. In our sister county, Clark, the editor of the Standard tells us it costs each candidate about fifty dol lars, in its five newspapers, and still there's no kicking at it.
 For several weeks we have said not word as to candidates anuoun- cling. April 25th we published q letter of " oter' of same character as Rev. G. w. Reeves article in last weeks Dispatch, hence his insinua- tions fall.harmlcss to the ground. In private letter we gave him reason in which we stated prominent, Demo- crats coincided for not publis hing his article. We have no feeling in the matter. but think inasmuch as n large number of gentlemen are before the people as virtual candidates, through states" published in paper it would be nothing but right that such of them as do become candi- dates. announce. However we shall not kick whether or not anybody announces.
