Nevada County picayune., 1890-03-26

II Sapt. JoiH IaTkeT. OI DOUcaW - made this office an appreciated cal s Thursday, while we were absent l Many thanks, Captain, for favors . which are most highly appreciated
 A number of new bricks will % r up here within the next few months , Mir. J. T. Brooks double brick } fronting w. B. Waller, will add tc our side of town. Keep the ball in motion.
 Hon. J. A. McCollum, of Hope, , was up Thursday, and made this of flee call. He is a candidate for l prosecuting attorney, and our people having known him from boyhood up, have all confidence in him, and will warmly support him in the race he is making for the Democratic nomina- tion.
 Rev. D. B. Warren. grand lcctur- CT of the Masonic fraternity of Ar kansas, instructed his brethren here Friday and Saturday in several telling lectures. Was assisted by district lecturer, Mathews. Mir. Warren also filled the pulpit at the Methodist church Sunday, preaching an able, practical sermon.
 The Democrats are used to defeat and it would not demoralize them to be beaten in the approaching town election. They would rather take defeat ten times over than to resort to any dishonest or dishonorable methods to elect their ticket. But it Is unnecessary to say this, because they will elect their entire ticket, and with clean hands, too.
 Prescott has received to date this season, over 5000 bales cotton, so our clever railroad agent, Mir. E. C. Jones, informs us. This is nearly 1900 bales ahead of the total re- ceipts last season. So. our town is not only growing in substantial way, but increasing her trade-now sells goods to parts of Clark, Pike and Hampstead counties, besides Nevada.
 The Democrats will not fuse with the Experimentation Labor bosses against the negroes. The Demo- crats will paddle their own canoe, and the Republican-U Labor bosses can navigate theirs, and to suit themselves, if their own rank and file will allow them to do so. So far as the Democrats are con cerned the Experimentation Labor booses can make up their ticket as as they see fit.
 All of our goods were not received last week on account of railroad wash-out. Will continue to receive them this week Our house is head quarters for everything new, stylish and at q low price. Our grocery stock is also complete; we are sell ing flour, meat, corn, oats, bran, sugar and molasses in car lots. It will pay you to come and see us. A large lot of new spring clothing and straw hats just received.

 In an open letter on opposite page, MT. D. J. Neill, in a most forcible and intelligent manner, gives his reasons for leaving the U. l.. P. and joining in with the Democ- racy. We hope every man in the county will read his able and con vincing article. Mir. Neill is one of our best citizens, and conscien- tious man, and what he says should have it's due influence among those about to go into the Republican ranks, by the so-called l.. l.. party.
 Mir. and Mrs. W. H. Terry and Misses Tapp, Miss Leathers and Miss Allen made a pleasure trip to Texarkana, Monday. The young ladies return home to-day to Louis vile and Memphis, after a most pleasant visit. Our young people will feel the loss of their merry, captivating presence-especially sev eral of the young gentlemen, and we will not he surprised to hear Of them going to Louisville and Memphis, on legal or other important business, ere long.
 Jacob Stcrley, colored, of Leake township, IS spoken of in connection with the Experimentation Labor nomination for county treasurer. Uncle Jacob is a good, honest man, but the bosses will put a quietus up- on whatever political aspirations he may have, even if he is not too much of a Democrat to accept a nomina- tion at their hands, as we believe he is. His son Bob, however, could make some of the white trash" hump themselves for the nomination for assessor. But Bob, like his l father, has considerable pride of character--in fact, is quite particular as to who he associates with-so it is I pretty safe to say that he would not accept a nomination at their hands.
