the county Democratic ticket. 1t is only

AT the Republican Judicial Conven-
ton in Steubenville last week W. 2. Hays,

Frazier. and it was only cast to keep him
in the ring as a future possibility. The
next Convention is to be held in Wells

he had sent twelve shots into its body.
Another reminder that large as well as
small dogs are dangerous.
ADRIvE along the National road shows
that it is not kept free from nOxious
weeds by large majority. With the in
come derived from the road it is impOs-
sible for the Commissioners to keep it in
good order. Such being the caSe it would
pay the land owners along its line to look
after and destroy the wild carrot, thistle,
and other weeds on the borders of the
road, the seeds of which are liable to
spread over the farm to the serious injury
of the meadows. Then, it looks better.
