county, met here yesterday and was well at.
tended. Gen. Allen Rutherford presided over

convention was TO select four delegates to rep
resent this county in a state convention to
meet in Baltimore on Wednesday, the Sth in
slant. to take into consideration the needs Of
the party and to adopta constitution and by
laws for the government OF the same. After a
full exchange of views by the members Of the
convention the following delegates were ap-
pointed; B. H. Miller. Allen Rutherford. J..
Vance Lewis and Thomas Dawson. Alternstes:
c. +. Purdum. John Mcdonald, Daniel Dig
gins and Rein Offutt. Resolutions were
adopted deploring the necessity for the pres
emit movement and irstructing the delegates
TO do all in their power 10 secure harmony in
the party under system OF regulations which

Mr.. c. W. Ogden has been appointed mail
messenger between the post Office and the rail-
road station at this place. A large number of
mails are carried daily between these points.
Edward Wartield. a colored man who has for
some time exhibited signs of alteration Of
mind, has been brought before n jury that pro-
nounced him insane and ordered that he be
taken care of at the county aims house. For
many years large number OF insane patients
from this county have been supported at pub
lie expense in the several insane asylums Of
the state and it has now become n vital ques-
ton whether IL would not be true economy for
the county to provide q separate and suitable
building on the aims house farm for their re-
ception instead of paying annually several
thousand dollars for their support elsewhere.

There Is much complaint expressed among
the farmers OF the county at the backward
spring and the long prevalence Of cold and wet
weather. Many of them have not been able to
do any blowing for spring crops and unless a
change should soon occur the planting Of corn
and other crops will be delayed until very late
in the season. Another cause Of complaint
has been the very bad condition of the public
roads during the winter and spring. whereby
they have not been able to send to market the
crops made last year. SAN.
