tions.
But The Democrat does not belieye
| it.
This paper is not alone In that belief
The highest authority, politically, in
| the country agrees with it.
That authority is the President of the
United States.
| How do we know tbiso
Look over this fair land since the
change in administrations nearly four
years ago.
What means the change In the polit-
zeal complexion of the postmasters since
that time?
Simply this and nothing more:
The President and his advisers be-
lieve that he and his party are strength
ened by having the Offices in Demo-
cratic hands.
Then, if the pos toffices are an aid to
the qualification Of the party in power,
how much more is it necessary and inn
portant that the ten times as many
county and district offices should be
filed with Democrats when the party
has the majority by which to do it.
No man can fail to see this import
ance, if he is a reasoning creature.
And what better way to accomplish
this than through the primary. the
chosen method of the chosen party d.
rectors?)
From these simple facts it is right to
conclude that no man can claim allie
glance to the Democratic party and yet
fail to work with it.
If there are bad men in it, he must,
in order to strengthen and better it,
work for it in his locality.
He cannot claim Democracy and ig-
more his party.
He cannot ignore his party and be of
assistance to the President or lesser
Democratic officials.
If he considers himself better than
his party he cannot assist 1t to. his
standard by Withdrawing his aid and
influence aud throwing it to his enemy.
If he believes in the principles of the
Democratic party he cannot aid in tb cir
enforcement by voting with and work
ing for Republicans.
If he does not believe in the princi-
Piles of the party the sooner he with
draws therefrOm the better it is for all
concerned.
We hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent, and, holding SO, are prepared to
declare it the duty-a most solemn du-
ty-that every Democrat become one of
the party; and, becoming one, aid in its
success and its purity by selecting good,
true men at the primary election next
Tuesday; and, as Democrats, believing
in the beneficence of the party now
represented in the White House. labor
for the success of the same psrty's rep
resentatiYes inthis county inNovember.
No Democrat can do less and recog-
nize the solemnity of his party obliga-
tions.
No Democrat can do less and claim
that he has the success of Lis party and
its principles in state and nation at

Our town and vicinity has been very quiet
since the election.
Two of the paving cutters at Benson's
quarry, Pat Burns and Alex Gamble, were
blown up last Monday a week. The boys
were badly hurt, but they will recover. They
were cleaning out hole where a charge
failed to fire; when they were standing over
the hole the charge went off, throwing them
several feet and filling their hands, arms and
faces with powder, sand and small pieces of
rock. Alex was sent to the hospital at St.
Louis. Pat is getting along very nicely.

ments. 1t comprises forty acres in horti-
culture with ten thousands varieties of small

Ed. Register-The picnic is oyer and vii
try to tell you how well we enjoyed it, etc
The morning looked very gloomy and unfav.
orable until about O'Clock, when the clouds
dispersed, the sun began to shine, and the
people commenced pouring in, and by II
O'Clock the crowd was getting quite large
although some did not get there until later,
The crowd was estimated to be between SOC
1000. Everything passed off peacaable and
nice. The dinner was excellent and plenty
of it; there was enough left to have fed as
many more, and to say that everyone enjoy
ell themselves hugely is but little. We have
seen picnics in Belleview valley, but have
meyer seen any equal that one. The Farm
e-s Alliance people Of Belleview valley will
long be remembered for their kindness and
the grand success they made of everything
on that occasion. May they still prosper and
live to spend few more similar days OF en-
joyment and recreation, is the wish of your
writer. Quite large number from Ironton
were in attendance at the picnic, and Gram
iteville, Iron Mountain, Caledonia, Edge
Hill, Black, Goodland and Goodwater were
well represented, besides manyaothers from
different places. The speaking commenced
about 1880 and we had some good speeches.
There was surprise party at Mrs. Lays

Close Of the MOuntain Peach
Season.

The shipment of peaches from the

profitable one-closed last wesk, thus
establishing this industry as a success
of incalculable Importance to our sec
ton of the Union. The crop of noun
tain peaches this season surpassed IN
quantity and equaled in quality that Of
last year, whilst those on the lowlands
were somewhat injured by the rains
during the summer which did not af-
feet the mountain fruit, owing to its
higher and dryer locality. In the
lowlands the early fruit suffered from
premature ripenins-a trouble that was
not seriously felt in the "peach belt
along the mountain slopes.
We have, rs yet, no full returns of
the yield Of the peach crop of 1888.
The largest grower and shipper was
Mr.. John N. Ncodemus, of Edgemont
the centre of the mountain fruit in
dustry. He had expected to market
about $4,000 bushels, and we learn
from his nelghbor, Mr.. J, Mitchell Sto-
yer-thc other great orchardlst Of that
section--that Mr. Nicolcmus probably
exceeded this estimate by 1000 bushels,
bringing his crop up to 10000 bushels.
Mr.. Stover had 5000 bnshels-l 900
more than he had estimated. The
crops of both these growers was prime
in every respect, and the returns more
than satisfactory, although, IN the ag-
gregate, not 50 large as those of last
year, which was phenomenal season,
owing to the general failures Of the
peach crop in other sections of the
country. Towards the close Of the sea
son Mr.. Stovcr informs lis most of the
crop was sold to dealers at the orchards.
Half OF his crop went to New \ ork and

medium season and in the glut the ay-
ogage was IS cts; from Sept. - to the
close they brought $50, with the cN-

Mr.. Stoyer, IN addition to the peach
es marketed, had two evaporators run
ming during the busy season, day and
night, and Mr.. Nicodemus three. Mr..

of dropped and spcckcd peaches, pro
