Capt. F. L. Kennedy of the Steamer Lotus, came in Monday evening from Grand Glaize with the largest ship ment of shells ever received here at one time, the barge bearing 70 tons. Capt. Kennedy is the buyer for liar vey Chalmers & Son, of Amsterdam, New York, the largest button factory in the world. MT. Kennedy was in the shell h"si2ess on the upper Mis- sissippi for many years, but does not hesitate to say that between here and Black Rock are to be found more shells than on any streams he was ever on.

CLOSE OF CAMPAIGN.
Candidates Wind Up Series of Az. pointments at Court House Friday Afternoon-Very Fair Crowd
 Present.

Tomorrow tells the tale and the can didates for preferment in the Demo- cratic primary, had their last inning Friday afternoon at the court house. The rain prevented many country people from hearing the closing argu- ments and the audience of between two and three hundred was composed largely of town people.
 The crowd was apparently in good humor and the candidates told enough funny stories to keep their spirits free from the gloom of the day without. Sarcasm, recrimination, and hot shots are interesting enough, viewed from the standpoint of non participant, and there was much of this to give zest to the perfunctory and we'll conned efforts of some of the candi- dates.
 There were no ladies present and the speaking was held at too late an hour for the INDEPENDENT to give a resume of the remarks.
