 Watson PickreH was placed before the delegates, for the council, by his tOwnsman, c. c. Jones, the nomina- ton being seconded by J. A. Marshall. Wm. P.

MT. PicErell said he was proud of the nomination, if elected would do the best he could for the county but would reserve his OratOry for another occa- sion.
 F. L. Blumer was next recognized to present Paul R. Ingles for the legisla- tive assembly. MT.
