( In perusing the columns of the WATCH
MAN of July %, your correspondent as well
as the large number of readers in Cabot of
! your valuable paper, have come TO the con-
clusion in regard to the nomination Of
sheriff at the county convention that the
correspondents, as well as some of the edi-
, tOrial staff, were mistaken in their prediC-
lions. The old saying again proves true,
Better not count your chickens till after
, they are hatched."
