That true blue Democrat and splen-
did good fellow. VIM. Henson, who
lives near the Shut-In, last Thursday
presented the editor of this paper with
wild turkey. 1t was fat, tender and
juicy, and made royal meal. Mr..
Henson has our thanks and assurances
| OF most distinguished consideration.
As a hunter he is head and shoulders
above those fellows around the court
house, who are forever boasting of
| their proves, but, so far as our exper-
fence goes. never secure any game.
With the Republicans of this section
it is already a case of s.give up the

town for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for circuit Judge. The day
of the convention arrived, however,
and not single delegate from the for
eign counties put in an appearance.
The meeting went by default. and, so
far as we can learn all intention of
nominating candidate for judge has
been abandoned.
