An Attracting Window.

For several days last week passers-by
were attracted to the show window oil
Mr.. o. B. Shackelford. IN which was
exhibited a North Star Refrigerator.

the unusually heavy cork packing, the
ice box, etc, the back OF the refrigera
tor, which was of glass, was turned to
the street. All kinds of tempting eat
able in the way of fruit. melons, roast of
beef, beer, pickles, olives, ETC., were so
arranged on the shelves, and presented
a most appetizing appearance. One,
and the main feature, was the preser
walton of ice for a period of several
days, eve2 when exposed to the morn

tor we're of icy coldness, and in every
particular the North Star is a prize

To the Democracy Of Madison
County.

Some weeks since l announced my
candidacy for County Judge, subject
to the action Of the Democratic party.
After advising with many friends, and
being urged by many members of my
party, | feel it my duty to offer my SER
vices to my county, feeling confident,
should my party give me the nominal
tinn and j should be finally elected |
could be Of benefit to the entire people.
The fact that my opponent seems to
think that only the emolument of the
Office is in questisn, and that am try
Ing to take from him what he says has
been customary with his predecessors,
n axes it incumbent on me to explain
in general way some matters that are,
or should be of interest to all of our
C. liens.
In the first place it has not been Gus
tcnary to elect County Judges in Mad
ison county to succeed themselves
When the present Judges term of Office
eA pires he will have acted as County
Judge longer than any of his predeces-
srs for the past forty years, save two.
In the second place. nearly everything
that comes before a County Judge in
wives to a certain degree legal propo-
sitIon, and the incumbent should have
sufficient legal training, SO contended
by those who wish me to run, not to
require at all times legal adviser if
he expects to give anything like gen.
sr'sl satisfaction.
In the third place, and the most
mighty of all, is the manner in which
our economic and fiscal affairs are now
and have been conducted for several
years past.
The present court maintains system
of working the turnpikes Of the county
which and those who urged my can
diiacy, believe to be illegal and abso
lutely wrong. If the Democracy of the
county believe it to be the proper sys-
TEN, then / should not be the nominee
of the party.

is the direct cause of the large indebted
ness of Madison county. and If con-
timed the present bonded Indebtedness
OF the county will remain as heritage
TO the children of this generation. /

that the people Of my county

We each have a record of public ser

and all have right to discuss
them, and they are evidences of our
rs. fulness and benefit to the whole peo-
pie; and unless the members Of my
