Candidates for sheriff.
SpeeiaI Correspondences EVENING JOURNAL.
HARRTNoToN, April 80 The scaffoid-
ing and refuse Of the interior Of the new
M. g. Church has been cleared away and
the eornice work upon the ceiling is con-
sidered ths finest work in any church
on the Peninsula. One well said when he
looked at the Job when completed 1T is
lust immense The work was done by
A. N. Smith Of Houston, but formerly of
New York state Mr.. Smith is undoubt
edly master of his trade. The church
will be ready for dedication by the last
of May or the first Of June.
The Rev. Mr. Stone Of the M. p.
Church preached his Introductory ser.
mon on Sunday evening to an over
crowded house. Mr.. Stone is quite a
good speaker, and his manner among the
people very sociable.
Mr.. Matthews has greatly improved
the property purchased of II. @. Wolcott
bv building an addition on the rear build.
ing and bay windows Ia front, and giving
it dressing OF deep yellow, with red
trimmings, which make it show for a
good way.
The auction of the sale Of groceries
and notions, which began under the
hammer Of the auctioneer, W. e. Colli-
son. still continues night and
day. The expenses of the sale
Of this little stock which ap-
praisment only amounted to about $400,
will run Mr. Russell upward 81 900. II
a man wants to be bled, just let him get
| into the hands of officers. There Is a
probability now, that a paper may be
started up again in this town. The
Harrington Enterprise paid well, as
can be clearly seen from a survey of the
books. But for the last two years it
has been run by so many and sometimes
| by a set OF boys and other times by men
| who knew no more about the newspaper
business than they did of the man in the
moon, until the paper finally went down,
| but with good manager and few
| good men to guide the quill, the paper
can soon be what it was once, on a good
| paying basis. If the parties may succ ed
| in the purchase of the plant there may
be live, spicy, little paper in this town
| again.
The candidates for sheriff on the
| Democratic side, seem TO be making
little ado publicly. There seems to be
no iarring, whatever, between the two
candidates Amos is as keen as a brieI
and j. c. as sharp as a hawk, so it IL
about nip-and-tuck with them, and
whoever succeeds in getting the nomina-
tion the other sill support. This is the
kind Of Democracy which exists in Mis-
| pillion. and which we think will be the
feeling in every hundred in the state
| after the nominations are all made.
The campaign win open about the frs
of July, and peace and harmony may b.
expected in the rank and file II
there is any discord, it will be through
some fellow or fellows who think they
are the Alpha and 0mego of the party
and that their whims must be gratified
or the party crushed No paper, IL 1t b.
a thoroughbred, will print a single lin'
to breed discomfort or strife, but rathe
do everything in its power to hea
up the old sores and bring about tha
harmony that will roll up for eacl
Democratic candidate next November
the largest majority for years. Let th'
| good old times come back again when i
| will not take the farmers thirty bushels
Of wheat to buy himself common sui
of clothes, ten bushels of corn to buy {
decent wool hat or a whole crop of pots
toes to shoe him. And every farme
should ask himself: why is this thusl
