HINTS TO CANDIDATES
some ln,erminsiing with the Waters
SUgEeated

Suggested.
While the candidates on the democrats
ic ticket for county and legislative offices
are all we'll received by the people. yet
those who are asking for support should
at least personally present themselves to
the voters. There may be an impression
among some of them that they haye lived
long enough in the community and are
consequently so we'll known, that their
appearance is lot necessary. But this is
a mistake. No matter how well known
a man be be will still find number who
have never seen him, and greater nuns
Der with whom he has never talked. A
prejudice may be set aside by coming in
contact with the people, and even if such
a thing does not exist fraternal ming
ling cannot fail to be productive of much
good.
Those of the democratic candidates
who have not as yet presented themselves
TO the people should lose no unnecessary
tune IN uolnS so. III questions are TO be
asked and answered now is the proper
lime to do it.
In this connection it should be said
Mr.. Gordon in his outings through the
county has everything to hope for in the
matter of large vote. The question of
majority is as yet undecided as to extent,
but that it will be flattering one there is
not the slightest doubt. 1t could hardly
be otherwise expected, as Mr.. Gordon is
thoroughly, well and favorably known
throughout the county.
Let the other cand dates make them
selves as well known and there will be
nothing to regret as to size of majorities.

The body arrived yesterday at 10
O'Clock and was met by delegation
of the members of Col. Wallace's
c-urch and many other citizens and
taken to the residence of Mr.. W. f.
Garnett, his son-in-law. There the
corpse-was taken from the box and
viewed by number of friends. Few

by southern suns. His funeral will
take place from Mr.. Garnett's resi-

monies being conducted by Rev. S.
\. Vail, pastor of the First Presby--
