 From the number of meteors that have been seen to shoot through space for the past few nights it seems as if the heavenly bodies were at war with each other.
 Let all the democrats come in an,l see Dr. Norwood since he has repen- ted and gone over to the republicans as Powell Clayton says. The Doctor has been on the anxious seat for some time.
 At the last election the stay-at- home democrats lost us the race. If all the democrats had gone to the polls we would have elected every officer except perhaps judge, Let every man turn out and vote.
