Elder Pallister in his sermon Sunday

fattering success in the matter of his
new illustrated atlas of Van Buren,

business, he has no reason to feel
ashamed of the race he made.

Mr.. Pomeroy says he is ahead upon

and gives himself good spurring be-
cause he hadn't sand enough to wager
as many thousands as he did hundreds

The republicans of Van Buren, county
have reason to congratulate themselves
on the magnificent and unprecedented
victory they have won. Never in the
history of its thirty-four years of un
broken and uninterrupted seris of sue
cesses has the party equaled the vote OF
