week to James Laughlin, of Western
port. We understand the price re-
ceived was more than fair.
Mr.. Henry Barnard has about COM
/ pleted one of the finest and most com
modious barns in this section of Gar

best and most progressive grangers
and is usually in the front rank so far
az modern methods in farming are
concerned

/ District No. 4, from all accounts,
/ proposes to be heard from in politics
this fall. She will have three or four
candidates in the field and will make
hot fight before the convention for
one or all. Mr. Stump is out for
sheriff and is working up his case for
all it is worth.
/ We are unable to state what sue
/ cess Mr.. John Shartzer had down here
last week in the interest of DR.. Raw

warm and urgent for the support of
his candidates.
| Mr.. Henry Barnard is just as fer
/ vent in his cause for commissioner as
he ever was and it will be no fault of
his if he does not knock the persim-
mon this time.
Mr.. A. f. George, of Swanton, has
always held warm place in the
hearts of the Republicans and labor
ing people Of the district on account
of his strong advocacy of the Miners
and Manufacturers law, about the
only protection the working man has
in this county, and it is more than
likely that Senator Ravenscroft may
find himself the weaker man when
this district casts its vote.
There are others just as good as
those we have mentioned, who seem
little backward and modest in their
aspirations, but none the less capa-
BILE AMI efficient and not too old or
antiquated by any means. They
were present at the laying of the cor
ner stone of the county, supported
its institutions as large tax payers
ever since. and probably know as
well as any one, from their long resi-
dence and acquaintance in the coun-
ty, just what our people require and
how to go about obtaining it. In
this connection we can mention Geo.
l.. Michael and Alden Duckworth.
However, the political ball has just
commenced to rotate and it is little
too early to prophesy what will come
on top of the sphere between now
and the time for primaries.
The surprise party at Mr.. Walter
Moore's given by the young folks of

The contractor for the laying of
water mains for the Piedmont water
works from the mouth of Savage
river to Deep-hole has brought a gang
of colored laborers from Norfolk and
Washington city and quartered them
in the brick store, near the center of

pleased over the affair as they regard
it as good breeding place for small
pox.
