canvass for clerk of the district court.
William Wager returned with Clabe
and several others from pleasure trip
up north.

deep well having bored down 70 feet
and still going down.
The correspondent to the Adcocate
suggests a number of democrats to fill

Bob Gilbert has purchased 5000 bu-
shells of corn at Dedham at So cents
per bushel to feed Y head of steers.
The truth will go the farthest, and
corn on an average wont 60 seven bu-

democratic party here is gradually fall

prising to see every moss back bend the
knee by election day.

as the probable republican nominee fol
township assessor, and E. H. Mauel
is on the list for clerk on the demo
cratic ticket with chances largely in hi
favor of being nominated.
1t is said that r. c. Carpenter will
return to his farm in the near futur,
and take up his abode among his OLE
friends and neighbors where heart,
welcome will greet him from member!
of all parties regardless of past con
