Mr.. y. J. Mclean, who has for

position Of conductor on the construc-
ton train. Certainly a worthy promo
ton.
Cotton has been subjected to a severe
ordeal for two weeks Dry and fearful
hot, but the greater part of the country
has been visited by good rains. We are
still dry in and around town.
If were a candidate I would not
bank heavy on my election, and then
the defeat would not be SO hard to
bear.
There are eighteen candidates fer
the office of County Commissioners,
and they every one believe they are
going to be elected. They are all good
fellows, but the great majority-l5-
must be left at home. Boys, you that
spend the least money on this cam
paign are wisest, and in the end will
be the most happy and serene.
Last week we went fishing at Fresh
ley's caught no fish and got no letter
to Herald and News in time for publi-
cation. Sorry-wanted to send DR.. Folk
"a mess" of nice, juicy catfish in part
compensation for the monster sea tur-
tie. Now, I know the doctor will think
l am slandering him, but he does love
catfish "Lower the spreet."
Jake Mills barbecue was the biggest
thing of the kind his season. More
than 800 persons ate dinner, and there
was but one verdict-a splendid dinner.
There was good deal of hurrahing by
some for their respective candidates,
and some gas, but all passed off quietly,
and everybody was happy, especially
the candidates, as they all believe they
will get bigWote in number nine.
On last Friday night Norman's drug
store was entered through a rear win
dow, and eighteen watches some rings
and other rjewelry amounting, probably
to $3.50 were stolen. Some clues but no
arrests. The party or parties had evil
IDENTIFY made their arrangements in the
day time. The key that secures the
bolt on the inside of the window had
been taken out certainly by the robber
or robbers during the day, as the win
dow was not used for several weeks.
The watches nearly all belonged to per-
sons who had left them with Mr..
Fischesser for repairs. In Mr.. F.'s alb
sence at his home in Walhalla the
watches had been placed in Il drawer.
This the party evidently knew also. 1t
will be quite loss to Mr.. f. if they are
not recovered, and the parties hold him
responsible.
Mr.. \. II. Kohn and mother have
gone to Glenn Springs. IUBE.
