late primary election 1t is therefore the
duty of the Democratic Executive Com

We see Phil. Coghlan's Union Labor Par

Hon. sam. Byrns made a speech st the
courthouse last Saturday evening, to fair
sized audience. His remarks were well re-
ceived, being full Of sound sense and argu-

preiudices Of his bearers. He will keep up
the canvass until election-day, when we
predict for him and the party IN this district
al, -ha-rs
kinsey or Bsrthold oppose.
=: festival on Zion's Hill on Tuesday
night of last week, q couple Of colored dam
sells got into ''tangle' over a beau, and
Lydia slapped Sues face in great shape.
Others then interfered, and the fracas was
postponed until the next day, when Judge
Dinger took hand, at the instance of Sue,
who sued her antagonist. Lydia, after due
persuasion, contributed S1305 to the well
fare of the commonwealth, and so endeth
the first lesson.
Well, both tickets are in the field, and
voters may take their choice. We think,
however, that Democrats, even when their
ticket is placed side by side with that of
sour friends, the enemy" have cause to con-
xratulate themselves. We can all go shout
der-to-shoulder in its support, and the ides
of November ought 10 see an Iron county
Democratic average majority Of four hun
bred. We have good ticket and will give
il an enthusiastic support.
We are in receipt of "Tarif Primer"
the work of Mr.. D. NJ. Grissom, St. Louis.
In it the question is made plain, in such
manner that even he who runs and reads
NAV easily understand it. The subject is
treated fairly and honestly, the intent being
evidently to get at the facts. We commend
If to all who desire to come TO q correct con-
cIusion, and Tariff Reform clubs can not in
vest their money to better purpose than
buying and distributing this pamphlet.
The Grover Bros, who have been under

a carpenter with plank on his shoulder,
another man, lady, a little girl, dog, and
a miIl-team-all moving along As natural as
life. The outlines are clear and distinct,
and the picture in every way shows good
workmanship.
Sim buchanan, in addition to numerous
other improvements about his premises, has
made one OF the best pieces of sidewalk OF
Main street He has also repaired, eurbed
and yraveled the walk fronting on Madison
street the full length of his lot. IL the lot in
the rear were similarly fronted, pedestrians
could pass dry-shod from Main to Mountain
Street. and we think the city authorities Will
see to il that the improvement is made. LII
ought to be done, for fact; and, until II Is
done. Sim saws be is going TO be "kicker.
who shall say he has not earned the right 10
1skick?'
