Hanly's election is in doubt; but
indications at time of going to press
is, that he will be elected by small
majority. 1t all depends however,
upon his vote at the Court House.
Judge Guthrie will have about
$50 or 300 majority over Green in
this county
at this writing there is no doubt
of Mr.. Spencer's election as Prose
cutting Attorney.
Whaley is elected to the LegisIa-
ture; and Mr.. Dabney will probably
pull through.
At the time of going to press the
vote at the Court House had not
been counted Solar as the vote is
disclosed, it shows that there will
be a good majority for the Demo
cratic ticket.

needed than now. His ability. his ex-
perience, his stalwart republicanism
and his patriotism all conspire to make
him the man Of all others to represent
the people Of this district and their
many and varied interests. His nomi-
nation will be by reclamation and with
out opposition. The outlook ut present
is that Hon. GEO. l.. YAPLE, the 'boy
from Mendon" will once more measure
lances with Mr.. BURROWS. The Nor
THERNER knows of no man whom II
would rather see enter the arena as the
candidate of the opposition. Mr..
YAPLE is known as an out and out free
trader and bears the reputation of al
ways advocating his convictions. Should
the contest be between these two men,
the issue will be apt to be clear cut and
well defined; protection VS.. freetrade,
each side represented by its ablest
champion. The republicans OF this dis
trict will welcome contest of that
kind, and ask for nothing better. The
honest yeomanry of the district are not
freetraders and will eagerly embrace
the opportunity to impress this fact up
on the mind of Mr.. YALE if he ven
lures to give them an opportunity to do
SO. Mr.. BURROWS is sure To be his own
successor by rousing majority, no
matter who may contest the honor with
him.

With Farmer LUCE at the head of the
state ticket and General ALGER at the
head of the electoral ticket, backed by
ringing declaration of principles, vie
tory is as certain as fate. The platform
adopted by the convention gives forth
no uncertain sound, but is straight
forward, clear-cut document, and, un.
like the democratic platform, looks but
one way-has no straddling feature
about it. The democrats have a patent
on political strvddles and the re.
publicans have no desire to infringe
upon it.

Mr.. GEORGE w. MERRIMAN of Hart

Judge, under date of August 18th, de-
sires us to make the following state
ment i'm his behalf which we willingly
do.
My attention has been called to a
report that has received some credence
that my candidacy for the Office of pro-
bate Judge of the county is in the inter
ests of another, and that, if elected, /
would not discharge personally, the du-
ties of the office at Paw Paw. All such
statements are unfounded in fact and
do me injustice. II am elected | shall
conduct the affairs of the Office person
ally at the county seat where believe
the probate Judge should reside.
This much can be truthfully said in
regard to Mr. MERRruAN and his can
didacy Where he is best known he is
held in the highest estimation and no
one doubts his ability and integrity.

The Courier seems to be much more
exercised in reference to the makeup
of the republican county ticket than ii
is concerning the ticket of its own par
ty; probably because it realizes that the
republican nominees-notwithst
the decentralization of the republican
party, a thing that exists only in the
Courier's vivid imagination-are GER
tain to be elected by an overwhelming
majority.

Theodore Tilton was a poet. He
once wrote child's lullaby, or era
die song, as you please.
Now just listen to him :
Baby bye, here's a fly;
Let us catch him, you and i.
How he crawls up the walls,
Yet he never, never falls"
Now, we'll venture to say that, if
Thede had had "Cyclone Bug
Gun and FIVE cents worth of Dali
matian Insect Powder, and had been
any kind of a shot, he could have
knocked that fly silly, without bub-
bling over into rhyme about it.
Our old Uncle Toby Tor not to by;
excuse us Hamlet) once said to fly,
"There is room enough in this world
for you and l." But Uncle Toby,
good old man, didn't live in these
days, when a man has to wear his
hair cut long and cover himself up in
the morning to keep the flies from
eating him alive. If the flies were
as thick then as they are now he was
foolish or insane.
Our platform to-day is TO buy
some of Thum's Sticky Fly Paper
and catch them TO watch with
fendish delight the useless struggles
of the little cusses when they alight
on tangle-foot.
Now, our place of business is not
devoted exclusively to the sale Of
baleful destroyers of the wicked in
sect genus, fly. If it was, perhaps
we'd have less flies of our own. But
you all know that if there is one
thing conducive to happy home it
is as near a total absence of flies as
possible.
Having driven the flies away, we
arrange our families around the
breakfast table and proceed to enjoy
nice cup of coffee. Where to Sc
cure good coffee, and what to buy
to suit our individual tastes, is a
question.
Our No. 6 Blend at 25c per pound
or Chocolate Cream, the old Favorite,
at SOC per sack of II lbs, are two of
the finest steepers known. Then, we
have fine roasted Rio at zoe. The
old standbys, Arbuckles and Lion, in
l Id. packages. For those who pre-
fer to roast their own coffees we have
green Guatemala, hand-picked cof-
fee, the very best we can buy,
knocks Java out of time, at 25c per
pound. Il
Teas that are right. Don't doubt
us, but, if you have not tried them,
ask for sample drawing. We have
an uncolored japan, May pickings of
1888, at 90 cents per pound.
We aim to have THE BEST Of every
separate line we carry.
1t is worth your while, if you are
not acquainted with us already, to
come and see us.
We call our place of business
