PINEY GROVE.
Mrs. Mary +. Lindsay, nee Miss
Mary +. Anders, died July 10Th,
with congestion Of the brain.
Politics is raging in certain parts
of this section.
We hear Of great many candi-
dates in the field for the different
offices in the county. Piney Grove
askes for a share of these public gifts.
Mr.. Nathan Weeks is before the peo-
pie for Register of Deeds. He is "A
good Democrat, has always been true
to heparty. Who is Nathan Weeks:
may be asked. He is one of the
cleverest men in the county, 4 good
business man, well calculated to do
the business of the office. He is a
cripple, not able to do hard manual
labor, then why not give Mr.. Weeks
the Office he has SO justly merited.
SCIPIo.
Minnie Jennie Laura Jane John
son Jerusha Matilda Love Devine
Seamore Tany Belle Caroline Katie
Moore ID the name in full OLA negro
girl in this township. We fear she
will be stunted under the pressure
OF so much of name.
William r. King, formerly of this
township, but now a resident of
Clinton, is before the people for
Sheriff. Mr.. King was an officer in
this township for several years. He
made good and correct officer in
all his official duties. Not one word
was ever said against him. He has
always supported the nominees of the
Democratic party, and now if rota-
ton is the order of the day let us
have William r. King tor our next
sheriff.
On last Sunday morning fell the
hardest rain in the Goshen section
during the year.
We hear of several candidates out
for constable. They were to have
a joint discussion at Giddensville last
Saturday evening at three O'Clock
on the cOnstabulary title. We think
the mechanic will "get there, Gala
CHER, If the bridge is up"
J. C.. Hobbs, of Halls, is a can di-
date tor Clerk, and again, we say
that if rotation is what the people of
Sampson County desire and are go
ing to have, we know that the peo-
pie could not make a better selection
in MIR. J. G.. Hobbs. He is in every
way a first-class business man, and a
christian gentleman. Hurrah for
Hobbs ! II.

The good people OF the Wentworth
section know how to have Il fin
time, and all that were present ex
pressed themselves well pleased witt
the debate and gave their decision il
half of the affirmative.
Thus passed the strongest debat
that has ever been held in the Acad
envy. So the old people say.
