The Spring Election

The political event of the year in
Tazewell will be election of the
County Offices in May next.
County and Circuit Court Clerks.
Sheriff, Commissioners, Magistrate
Overseer of the Poor &c. &c.
are to be elected, 1t is too early
IN the action to state definitely
who the candidates for these Off
ces will be, or how many. Enough
has already developed however.
to show that there will be,probably
several opposing candidates for
some of these Offices. Jas. II.
Witten has already announced his
candidacy for the Office OF Circuit
Court Clerk, now held by III. Bane
Harman, and the fight here
promises to be lively one. There
is some talk also, of an opposing
candidate for the Office of County
Court Clerk, the place now held
by L. +. George for a number of
years.
OF course the democrats, as a
party are not supposed to be i'm the
fight, though they arc an important
factor as in the case of rival can
didates they hold the balance OF
power, and if so disposed can elect
or defeat either candidate. The
Sixteen hundred democratic votes
in the County are not to be ignor.
ed, and already we see signs of a
Irritation going on with the dem
ocrats. From present indications
the democrats will not "Stand TO-
gether" in this election but will
cast their votes as they see proper.

THE GREATEST or ALL GATES.
AUTOMATIC FARM GATE
Now on Exhibition in Court
House yard.

CA9D
We have seen and examined the
Automatic Farm Gate now on ex-
hibition here by Mr.. w. f. Kicker
of New York and can JON with
every one who has seen it in saying
that it is simply perfection.
The gate is light, neat and durable
and can be operated either by hand
or by lever, obviating the chief
objection to most patent gates.
All other swinging gates open to-
ward the horses going one way and
this opens from" the team al ways.
An old gentlemen or lady with
children can manage the gate and
team keeping complete control Of
each.
1t can't be left open through
carelessness. 1t can he raised by
the lever to avoid snow or to let hogs
pass aud keep bac larger stock.
This wonderful gate is simple of
construction, and can be operated as
easily "a a paIlor door. There is
nothing about it that won't last
longer than it's owner, and the gate
ouc'e hung is heritage for ones
children.
Many Tazewell farmers haye ex-
amined 1t and every one commends
ii.
1t Is only Il matter of little time
when they will ornament every
farm, and add to the comfort and
security Of the farmer.
When one considers that THIS
wonderful continuance can do so
much, and do it SO well 1t seems the
cheapest investment ever offered the
public.
The gate is especially commended
to ladies who drive, and we have
many of the kind in Tazewell.
The Gate is in place in the Court
House yard and Mr.. Kicker in place
in the near vicinity, or across the
street at Central Hotel. Everybody
come and see the Show. County and

Some of them probably would not
