marriage of two of our most popular

though his name indicates il. he is not

Two line calves belonging 10 County
Clerk j. NJ. Duncan, died suddenly, the
symptoms indicating poison. 1t is
thought that they ate some poisonous

The many friends OF Rev. II. n. Faul l.
coner are glad to hear OF his prospects
To be called to preach at Greensboro
and they feel that his earnestness, zeal
aud superior attachments will give per-
feet satisfaction.
1t is thought here that there is a
combination on between the friends OF
two OF the candidates for governor, In
order To capture the convention on the
18th. This may work well that day
bat the effects will be hurtful as most
men abhor such a course and oppose a
two to one combat in anything.
Squire /. NJ. Myers is acting county
judge while Judge Burnside is at Drip
ping Springs. Senator Farris has re-
turned from the Bimetallic convention

touched the hem of the garment OF the
champion. taking In democratic doc
trine by absorption.
The city council at its regular meet.
ing Monday night, agreed to advertise
for bids for a franchise TO establish
water works in this city. Forty plugs
at $50 each, or 5000. will furnish the
town and 1t is claimed that p cents on
each 800 will pay the amount, the rate
then not exceeding the limit. The nu-
merous advantages OF such an enter
prise having been published, many
leading tax payers have petitioned the
board TO take this step, and success is
highly probable. Mr.. +. p. Moritz,
who has been quite active in agiiating
the question, will likely get the con-
tract He was here Wednesday and
appointed Mr.. f. w. Harris to solicit
private subscriptions for water.
There is a strong feeling here to d.
vide the Garrard delegation among the
three candidates for governor, in pro
portion to the strength developed in
the county convention. This has been
done aud | appeal to every man to
know why IL is not the only just and
equitable way To settle the matter. In
the county as in the State convention,
the victor should receive majority of
OF all the votes. A plurality vote be-
ing recognized In The county conven-
tions, might finally defeat the will of
the majority in the State convention.
The county meetings create the State
meeting and the majority rule should
prevail in the first named as well as in
the last named. II 800 attend the coun.
ty convention, l25 OF whom are favora-
BILE to one candidate, 100 to another
and 10 to another, IL would be the
grossest injustice to instruct the entire
delegation for the man who gets l25
votes, when there are l7j against him.
The delegates are expected to repre-
sent the voters, and in the case named,
man may be nominated when only
about of the voters have expressed
for him. Let us do the fair thing and
give each man his strength.
