MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLITICS.
Lively Contest Expected-No Republican
Observation-Disclosures from Measles

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. from MeasleA
Especial telegram 70 the Dispatch.l
CFRIsrIASsBUnG. Va. March 21.-District
meetings were held throughout the county
today by the Democrats to complete the
ticket. The Republicans also met here IN
council. and, as is their custom, delboTated
behind closed doors. They were IN session
for some time, and al that could DO learned
was that they determined TO make no noml-
nations. Tie fight is now fairly on, and q
hot canvass may be expected.
MALIGNANT N-RAsLEs.
Measles Of q very malignant type has
been prevailing in the nelghborhood CT
Wears Switch. Scarcely a family has es-
capped, and number OF deaths have oc-
CURED. Mr.. Hiram Hornbarger, q highly
esteemed citizen. has lost three sons with
in ten days. and two more OF his children
are now seriously Ill.
Mr. Linn Sheltman Is quite sick at his
home in this place.
ANARRow ESCAPE.
Deputy Circuit Court Clerk Mr.. T. J..
Moore made a very narrow escape on yes
terdav. He was on q visit to his mother
and while sitting IN room with another
gentleman near the fireplace a bolt of
lightning came down the chimney, shatter-
ing the mantel into splinters and both were
rendered unconscious from the shock.
TO VISIT EUROPE.
Professor T. 2. Campbell, Of the Viz

He will spend six months il Germany and

RELATED FARMERS.
The farmers are very much behind in
their work on account OF the excessive
wet weather, but little ploughing has been
done, and il is very doubtful II they will
now be able to get out full crops.

POLITICS IN MECKLENBUR0.
Great Interest in the Coming County Con-
test-Tobacco-Plantin


Correspondence Of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
CHASE CRY, Va, March 21.-Our County
Court this week was largely attended.
Never before has there been such interest
manifested by the people in the approach
ing election for county officers. The he
publicans have met in convention, COM
posed almost entirely of colored men, and
placed in nomination all of the present In
cumbtnts. The two candidates nomi-
mated for commissioners of revenue are
both colored men.
4 STRAIGHT TICKET.
The Democrats will meet next Wednes-
day and will nominate a stralghtOut ticket
in opposition. II is estimated that 800 CT
400 cOlored voters have left this county
within the last twelve months 10 work on
railroads and engage in mining operations.
Many find remunerative employment IN
furnaces and lumber business.
BUSY FARMERS.
The farmers during the few days Of
bright weather were busily at work burn
ing plant-lands. There viii no doubt be
sufhciency Of plants for the tobacco
crop. Merchants say never before was
there such demand for plant-bed cloth.
With this protection the rayages of the fly
are avoided and growth of the plants
wonderfully quickened.
no DAT CROP.
There has been no suitable weather for
sowing oats and failure of that crop Is
confidently predicted. as the season Is too
far advanced now. Wheat is looking very
promising. There is great complaint
about the scarcity Of labor, some large
farmers being unable TO hire sufficient
force. Every negro man who can manage
10 GET small cabin and one acre OF land
places his family In IT, and off to public
works he goes to seek employment.
There have been several sales of pro-
perty in this town recently. and the pros
poets are very encouraging for many I'M
proyements during the year.
TOBACCO SALES.
There were large sales of leaf tobacco here
yesterday. II Is estimated that in this vicini-
" about two thirds of last years crop IS
now out of the hands of planters. The
other one third is being marketed as rapidly
as the condition of the road will permit its
delivery.
Judge T. D. Irving has decided not to
hold the spring term of Charlotte Circuit
Court this week. as his health will not per-
NIT him 10 risk the labor. He hopes 10 be
well enough for the MeckIenburg term IN
May.
I'm. c. A. HAIL.
The Young Mems Christian Association
here will soon occupy their hall. which is
nearly completed. They have good read
ing-room, and many additions have been
made to their library.
There Is atlourlshlng temperance society
here whose influence Is very beneficial TO
those bibulouslY inclined.

PROGRESS: The spring has opened
lively for Nampa. Several buildings
are already in process of construction.
All the carpenters are now busy and
have contracts that will last them
nearly all season. And the real es-
tate men are jubilant over the good
prospects of large sales. Several
transactions have already been made
this spring, aud the freight has com
menced to move into the mines.
Mr.. Horn has purchased the Nanpa
Times outfit, and will soon establish
a printing house in Nampa. He has
now gone to Omaha TO purchase a
jobbing outfit, 1t now looks as
though we are to have at least three
newspapers published in our thriving
town. We ought to hold our sister
town, Caldwell, level, and whenever
we nave chance 10 vote ON the ques-
ton, we will get the county seat To-
Gated here. John Mckenzie, en-
gineer on the Boise Branch, met with
sad accident last Saturday while as
sisting to couple a disabled car,
The train backed, catching him,
breaking one leg and severely lacer-
ating the other. He was taken to
the Gilmore House and DR.. kohler
was called in and reduced the frac-
ture. At present be is resting easily
and everyone hopes that he will soon
be about. "Mac" is one of the best
and most careful engineers in the

THE following is paragraph from
letter OF Representative Willis
Sweet, in the Statesman:
AT the risk of being called a
'crsnk' on the subject, l will suggest
that the silver men are not at sll dis
couraged, and will renew the fight
next fall with as much enthusiasm as
ever. 1t has been lntimated that
Blaine-who has been so quiet during
the recent agitation, is maturing a
scheme whereby he proposes 10 open
the mints to silver under some mu-
tual agreements with the South Amer
lean countries. The plan as | heard
it, simply contemplates the agreement
upon common ratio between gold
aud silver, to be adopted by all the
North and South American States
