To bacco has come out wonderfully, I and will do better than was thought in the early season.

Towuseud, t he former Castor, V 11 help the pastor in the meet iug. So far as heard from our people endorse Mr. Stephen Holt's posi tion us regards county officers' salaries. We think the prices lixed in his communication am ple. We know good and compe tent men can be gotten to fill the places at prices uieutioned, and think we can use the saving to good advantage in the public schools of our county. By all means let ourcotuiugconvention instruct our Representatives to , make change in favor of the chil dren of our county. When it is considered thai not over one man in one hundred have fifty dollars per month to support; himself and family with. We hardly thmk anyone can com plain at prices fixed in Mr. Holt's communication. Yes, by ull means let the change be made. Politics is beginning to be talked. All of the candidates have friends here-abouts. For Register of Deeds Honeycutt is in the lead, though the other candidates will get some support from the township. For Sheriff, Sanders, being from the town ship. will receive the unanimous support of our people; why not? He is a poor man, needs the place, is fitted for it, then let us make him the candidate. Cleve land township is entitled to this mucn at the hands of Democracy. For Treasurer Hood, Austin and Stephenson will all receive support. For Clerk, well it is settled that Hill Stevens will be the man. We have heard only one mentioned for the Legisla ture?our frieud and neighbor, J. Walter Myatt, whom all of us wouW be delighted to support if he can be induced toacceptit. F. T. B. Sam?That girl you introduc ed infe to reminds me of straw berries at this time of year. Bill?Why?
