CARRIERS MILLS.


Our different threshermen have
wound up their little ball in this sec.
ton and are now preparing to put in q
fall crop. 1t seems from the returns OF
the late election that quite a number
in the old Fourth, as well as the rest OF
the county, have determined to go ia
the devil, or into the camp of Democ
racy, which amounts to about the
same thing. 1t is thought by compe.
tent judges, however, that it is only
cases of emotional insanity, and that
before the ides of November all will be
again clothed and in their right
mind" and will bring up our district
and county with a record breaking ma,
jority for all IL candidates, from Nc.
Kinley down. We hear of no detection
from anyone here ON account of any OF
our nominees The tales circulated by
Democrats and enemies of Mr.. Brown.
low in regard to his unsoundness upon
the financial question will not cut any
ice in this section. We all know Mr..
Brownlow, and know his position upon
the vital issues of the day and nc
trumped up charges emenating from
Democrats and disgruntled soreheads,
of which we have II few, will have the
slightest influence upon the rank
Nnd file of the party here. We believe
our district will be solid for him. We
even have great hopes yet of getting
Tom Radford and others into the fold
before the election comes off. John
A. Crosswhite, formerly of this place,
but now of Kansas City, Mo-, is here
with his little family on q visit to rela.
tives and friends. John is Express

fast dying out through the West-in
fact has never been as strong as the
newspapers represented it. Old Mrs.
Carr and Uncle Jake Constable, both
in their eighty third year, are lying at
the point of death. Our district is some.
what noted for its old people. Old Mrs.
Owens is ninety nine, Mrs. Hale eighty
four, Rev. j. B. Stone in the eighties.
Col. Bill Bayless eighty nine, and G.,
NJ. May, G. w. May, r. NJ. Young, ia,
cob Critzeilus, John l.. Blair, T. j
Wilson and perhaps others that we dc
not recall, have passed the three score
and ten mark, some of whom are sew
eral years above it. The late droutf
that has greatly retarded the operation
of farmers, was broken last Friday anC
Saturday by copious rains, and nov
they will make things hum until tn,
crops are planted and the corn croI
safely housed. Jack Young is mould
