HICKORY VALLEY.

Special to Bulletin:
Hickory Valley, l, IS6S.-The
Bulletin, with its interesting pages,
has ONE to rs lately replsts with
news fron every part of our county,
We wish to squall our little squsal
also, and SPEAK our little say, in
offering what we 'uns consider a
good ticker. Your correspondent
took time to interview thirty of
the staunehsst democrats of our
village and vicinity and We launch
forth the following ticket:
As you will see by it we prefer
Cleveland for President; Carlisle
for Viee~President; l. G. Harris
for United States Senate;
Francis Fsntrsss fer Con-
greas; Joe. A. Manson for Governor
Jesse Eerment for State
Senate; AMI Esq. j. P.
Ferguson, for Representative.
These gentlemen are known as
true and tried democrats, men who
will cast aside ary measures not in
accordance with their constituents
wishes.
WsAre net in favor of primaries
for county Offices but we deem them
very necessary for Stale offices. In
county affair, let "each tub stand
on its own bottom, let them all
scramble and run the race from
''eend to eend," and may the best
man win, But if it comes to the
issue let the Democratic Executive
COMMITTEES give US primaries in pref
srence to the convention, every
time.
Here In district No, we are for
free trade and no "Blair Bill" nor
"Phslan BILL We want all the
help we can get to ward building up
our school interests, but we prefer
County or State aid to Federal aid
every time-mark that down! "GOd
helps those WhV help themselves" and
when we fail to do our duty towards
our children, wen say "let her &c
gallagher" Speaking Of education
reminds US that we claim the SehOSl
OF the county. We have a new
building, new blackbOards, new ap-
paratus and hope aOOR to have new
desks. Besides this there is a move
ment on foot to build a coIlegs here
at an early day. Already some
$1,000 has been subscribed and suf'
ficient land donated. We already
imagine we hear the college bells
sllyerY tones being waited over

APPEARS MUDDLEID.

The act passed by the last lOgis'
lature, creating the office Of Tax
Assessor, seems to be considerably
tangled. The section relating to the
election of an Assessor reads IS fol-
lows:
THAT at the regular election in
August 1888, and every two years
thereafter, tax assessor shall be
elected for each county by the qual~
flied voters, to hOld the office for
four years.
This phraseology is. indeed, q ute
strange. There Is a palpable in~
consistency in the act, because, if
an assessor is elected for four years
there will DO no vacancy at the end
of two y ears. Suppose that this act
remains in force twelve years, the
people will have elected six assessors
while only three OF them will have
served. The Bulletin is at q loss
to know how this muddle will be
cleared up.
