Friday night.
Col. James Z. McItac, of Bluff
Check, was in town Saturday. lie is
still for Morrison, Boies or Campbell
for President. But the Colonel Is a
good Democrat. and will cheerrully
support any ticket the Democracy
nomlnales at Chicago.
Our ever thoughtful aud efficient
agent al Ocean Springs, Mr.. II. +.
Russell, called at the DEMroRAT-STAR
Office while here Wednesday, aud
handed over some Of the necltul, col
leclcd from our subscribers at his
town. Such favors about this time
are appreciated By us. Mr.. Russell
was here attending the Democratic
Mass Meeting.
Our old friend and patron, Mr..
Ssrdin G. Ramsay, was here Monday
and before leaving called at the DEM
ocRAT-STAR and squared up for last
year and renewed for another. Mr..
Ramsay says tic wool crop has about
been sold, and the price this season is
not at all encouraging to wool grow
els--only received 90 cents per pound
tor the best clean wool.
The ordin ances passed by our
Mayor and Board of Aldermen at the
special meeting on the Goth ult. are
being enforced by Marshal Browne.
The hog and goat ordinance IS the best
one in the lot, and we are glad to Oh
serve the conspicuous absence on Il
streets Of these pests of the town.
Perhaps the Marshal will have to
pound some of these animals, but not
many, as our citizens drc disposed to
yield to the enforcement Of the Ordi-
lance gracefully. That is right. and
If Our best citizens will cooperate
with the City Fathers, Scranton will
yet be a beautiful, orderly and decent
town.
Orange Grove, eight miles east of
this place, has laid it over Scranton in
the way of shipments of vegetables

The proof rs 10 tho cruel whipping
was somewhat conflicting, VIC under,
