The News ut PROGRESSIVE Jonesyills

| JoSEsvILLE, August 10 Some places in
the country arc very dry, while those sections
| that had showers last week are needing
| moro rain, so a general rain is what is needsd
now, to put good season in the ground
| before farmers commence pulling fodder.
My friend Vox govc me away in his COM
munication last week in saying l was at
Gresnville at the U. s. Court. The court il.
big thing, though Union County did not
have as many cases and witnesses there as
usual There were over two hundred cases
On the docket and over eight hundred wit
ncsseS Registered. Tie oxponse Of the court
is about $4,000 day. The new U. 8. Court
house IS fine substantial building. we'll fur
nished, hut the Court room is entirely too
small. That is the only objection l could
find to the arrangement Of the grand struc>
ture. The Post office has the entire lower
| or ground floor, and the 2. NJ, is tho custo-
dian Of the huiliiug.
Last Saturday was our county campaign
Gay. The crowd was large and orderly
| did not attend the meeting myself. as j did
not get home from GreenVille till 3 O clock,

| there, and most of them spoke. There were
| some sharp words between Me.srs. T. II.
| Gore and e. W. Whitman, both candidate es
for the Legislature upon the administration
ticket. Every good conservative man in tho
county will certainly be glad when this boil
ing. secthing su.girg, bowling. abusive
campaign Is over. The church will have a
great deal TO do after the 30th. Some Of the
preachers, | understand, are hurrahing aud
taking great iHierest in the campaign, and
not for prohibition, either. l am really
sorry that these things arc SO.
