About forty persons were present at Rev
Mr. Nanton's lecture, last Thursday evening.
upon "Sights and Scenes in the Tropics"
This lecture is OF special interest, as every
thing narrated occurred under the personal
observation of the speaker. At the close a
resolution of thanks to Mr.. Nanton was
passed. We heartily recommend this lecture
and speaker to committees and others who
desire good material at reasonable terms.
We are requested to say that a pray err
meeting will be held at the yestry of the

unrest have been he'd into Hgnt, strength and
peace. We feel these meetings should be sus-
tanned. They are helpful to us personally,
and through them we hope We have helped
Others. We bespeak support for all other
means of grace, also. If a Wednesday even
ing meeting shall finally become established
we shall sustain them to the extent of our
power and hope all Others will do likewise;
but will it be wise or right to discard an
agency that has already achieved definite re-
suits in the future? The great end is to help
our friends and neighbors into the light, int
a better life, into communion with God; and
whether this work be accomplished by Paul
or Apollos seems of but little moment to US.
Freemans meeting was well attended. The |
contest over town representative warm |
and prolonged until after dark. Three Re- |
publican candidates were in nomination by |
certifcate-L. l.. Camp, B. F. Morse, and W. |
w. Delano; while the caucus nomina tions |
were A. A. Grimes Democratic. and C. :. |
Parker Prohibitionist. At the first ballot |
the vote stood thus: Whole number 125,
for choice, 63; Grimes having 33,
Camp 20, Morse %, Delano "a Parker 6, J.
r. Parker Z, and IL. C. Parker L. Two more
ballots followed with varying results, when
Messrs. Deano and Morse withdrew from the |
field which drew the lines between Camp and
Grimes. On the 9Th ballot Mr.. Camp was
elected, the vote standing thus: Wholenu
ber 10S, of which Camp had 50, Grimes As, |
and scattering; Mr.. Camp winning u bare
majority of one. On the 4th ballot Mr.
drimes polled 40 votes, which only lacked
)f majority. This was highly compliment
lry to him, as 81 was the highest straight
Democratic vote cast. At the close Mr.. Camp |
thanked the people in a speech in which he
promised, ifallowed to take his seat. to workfor
lis town and state as servant who was under
to the people, not considering |
public office merely as an honor or a pastime |
" ould that more officials might feel this re-
possibility. Mr. Grimes also thanked his
importers in a very able and well-chosen
peech. We think the new ballot law, on the
whole, worked satisfactorily, although we
we're astonished at the number of ballots i'm
properly marked or not marked at ALL The
ssential features of the law are sound and
ust yet we think some of it's methods and
Ietails too arbitrary, circuitous and tedious
