CARRIERS MILL.

The recent cold snap reminds us that
old Boreas has not yet gone into sum
mer quarters. Walter CARRIER, of Ne.
braska, spent a few days very pleas
antiy with us last week. Keene Bacon,
who has had a severe case of grippe, is
improving. Quite a number of cases
have been reported from various parts
of our community but all seem to be
getting along finely. Brother Harold,
of Greene County, held a two weeks
series of meetings at Bacon g School
house, resulting in quite a number of
professions and seven additions to the
Baptist Church. Owing to sickness in
his family, Rev. j. H. Moore. Pastor
in charge, was prevented from attend
ing and rendering Mr.. Harold the de
sired assistance. The Fourth District
is coming to the front for her share of
the county pie to be distributed at the
coming August election in the person
of G. R. Jones, Esq. who has announced
his intention of shying his castor into
the ring for the purpose of securing a
small slice. Mr.. Jones is a full fledged
candidate for the office of Register and
he is running with the expectation of
drawing the winning card. He is we'll
and favorably known throughout the
county, having served us in that ca
pacity four years several years ago
that he gave general satisfaction is
beyond que stion. He is a Republican
OF the first water and was never known
to falter or go back upon the nominees
of our party. 1t is needless to say that
he will have the solid support of the
loyal old Fourth District at his back
who will push his claims for all they
are worth and use every honest effort
to secure his nomination and election.
AS we, according to population, cast
the largest Republican majority of any
district in the county, we claim with
good reason that we are entitled to
name at least n man to fill one of
so many offices. We have nothing de-
rogatory to say of any of the opposing
candidates, who are all clever gentle.
men and good Republicans, but we
earnestly insist that Mr.. Jones should
be be the choice of the coming conven.
ton and to this end we shall direct ouI
best efforts. From present indications
it appes RS that it is Brownlow against
the field, but every thoughtful, intelli
gent observing man knows that the
popular uprising of the Republican
party of the First Congressional District
is going to overcome and down all op'
position and send Brownlow to Con
gress by a majority that will extend
from tie rivers to the ends of the
EARTH" His claims are paramount to
all others. The people know it and they
are determined that the preference
shall not be over ridden by the use Of
Doodle. Calumuy, ~falsehood, nor al
