I'd. Pollock, a friend and class

that he has been NOMINATED. The
election will not take place till the
first Monday in May. When Will a
convention be held TO nominate a
mayor and commissioners for Clin-

There will be a big crop of huck-
lnberries this year. We were out in
the woods few days since and were
glad to see that they had escaped
the frosts. The bushes are loaded
with blooms and young berries. The
huckleberry crop of this county in
1888 netted our people probably not
less than 100000. 1t is a big thing
when it hits; but with the present
scarcity OF farm labor, we fear that
crops will suffer while the berries
are being picked. The berry crop
was failure in 1889 and 1890.
