Mr.. Weidman has on his residenc
grounds a Cape Jessamine, with four
teen flowers in full bloom, and thirt
buds beside. We believe this is un

further south this sweet flower is a
much distinguished by its luxurianc
as it's beauty.

a candidate for reelection to the of

Messrs. Edgar, Beyersdorff, and 9TH
ers, are over in Reynolds attending
court. The high waters came near
barring their passage, but after one
vain attempt they made the trip.
Marry, with all these rainfalls, how
they will return is another matter.
But we hope the skies may clear and
the rivers subside.

F. P. Hilburn, Annapolis, asks the
suffrages of his fellow Democrats for
the honorable place of Representative.
With those who know him, commenda-

capable, his integrity is unquestioned,
and that truer man or better Demo
crat does not live in Iron county.
Nick Algeir, who lives about nine
miles south of Ironton, one day last
week killed spotted serpent seven
feet and six inches in length, and has
the skin duly dried and stuffed. His
snakeship's stomach was filled with

swallowed. From indications to date.
1896 promises to be pretty good year
for snakes.

nounces himself candidate for Repre-
sentative, and asks the support of his
fellow Democrats. He is fully capable
of acceptably filling the place. if elect

He has been born and reared in Iron
county, and is too we'll known to need
further commentator from US.

A colored sport named Bell was
taken out and ''black-jacked" last |
Thursday night by party of his own
color. He was all-around worthless:
a petty thief. pretended pension |
agent at fifty cents claim. and so
obnoxious that his doom in
evitably descended upon him. Next
he was up for petty larceny,
and Squire Fairchild gave him hours
to leave town. He left.
VIM. r. Edgar has pronounced"
for the Office of Prosecuting Attorney.
He is now filling an unexpired term,
but served three full terms in that po-
sition in former years-lS7S to 1884.
He is one of the best public prosecu-
tors in the State-known to be such by
every man in the county-and withal
careful as to the cost of maintaining
.he dignity of the law. Democrats
will not ignore these incentives to their
favor.

,eeds, $25.
