wet weather and scarcity of hands

On Wednesday evening last week,
one of the heaviest rains known here
for years, passed over this section, do
ing much damage by washing out corn,
overlooking meadows, carrying away
fences, watergaps, etc. 1t was accom-
panied by vivid lightning and heavy
peals Of thunder, which caused those
OF a timid nature to quake and tremble
in their boots.

Kentucky, who left this county many

supply of sand and water, spike the
switches, put on an extra force Of track
walkers. pull the throttle wide open
and get there with both feet. Let me
advise them to announce their names

pie may know who they are, or they

The Republican nominees for the va.
rious offices to be filled in August and
November gives general satisfaction
here. While perhaps many of as did
not get our first choice in all instances,
we are Republicans, and will heartily
support the ticket. A word in regard
to our candidates for the county offices.
They fill the bill in every particular.
They are capable, upright, honorable,
sober, %virtuous, and what more do we
want. Some Of them have been tried
and not found wanting. In fact, there
is no potato bugs on any of them. We
believe, in fact we know, that q large
majority Of the sovereigns of old Wash
ington County desire chaste, virtuous
men in office, and will 70 testify through
the ballot box at the coming August
election. Even the Democrats here
can't say anything against them, e1-
cept they sometimes black their boots,
comb their hair and put on a clean
shirt. II every District in the county
will do her duty as the Old Fourth in
tends doing, Democracy will be showed
under 81 deep that henceforth they
will not put a ticket in the field. There
is not a. Republican here that will
scratch q single name on the ticket.
You may set this down as official.
