in accepting the nomination :
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Convention : I have been
earnestly requested by leading and
good men from all parts of the coun
tyk and representing every political
party, to be a candidate for the leg
islature at the coming election ; bnt
I have discouraged this, because,
white I feel and take a great inter
est in politics and desire honesty,
there as elsewhere, I preferred than
others, who, I believed, were bejtter
fitted for it. and had more expedience,
should take the lead and bear the
bront of the battle. Itis known
that I have been an earnest and con
sistent Allianceman irom the first.
and
that I have always advocated
most of their demands; but I
the most
know but littler of practical politics.
It is knownthat I have always op
posed corrupt methods in politics. I
have always advocated and demand
ed a free ballot and a fair count. I
have always been in favor of more
money, so that people could get more
of it for their crops, could pay their
debts, dollar for dollar, educate their
children and have peace, plenty and
solid prosperity. I am in fas'or of
the dollar of our fathers, the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, and of making that
dollar legal tender money in the pay
ment of all debts, public and private,
and if elected to the legislature I
shall only vote for such men for U.
S. Senators, and also for those who
favor an amendment to the U. S.
Constitution providing for the elec
tion of U. S. Senators by a direct
vote of the people. I believe it to
be a crime against the people to is
sue U. S. bonds in time of peace and
when ourvaults are full of silver
which has been bought and paid for
by the tax payers and demonetized
by those who misrepresent them in
Congress. I am in favor, of laws
which prevent instead of promoting
fraudulent elections, and would try
to have such laws enacted, if elected
to the legislature. I am unalterably
opposed to -'ball pens" which are
becoming a popular method; for do
ing dark and dirty work oat of the 1
sight of the honest people. l am in
favor of the rule of the people, and
against tire rule of corrupt politi
cians and gamblers. I believe that
the Democratic party in tht3 count y
is now largely in the control of a
ring. I believe that the great mass
es of the people agree with me on
these questions and I believe that,
knowing my record on these great
issues, is the reason you otTer me
this nomination. I accept the nom
ination under these circumstances.
I believe that the groat masses of
the . great honest people will unite
again st ring rule and for these healtli,
ful reforms. y
FROM FRANKLIN, VA 1
AN OLD RESIDENT OF NORTHAMPTON
WRITES OF FRANKLIN AND HIS
1 VISIT TO HIS OLD HOME.
Thinking some of our Northamp
ton friends miaht not object to seeing
a word in the Patuon and Gleaner
from us, we write. Franklin, Va., hHS
heen our home twenty months. It is
a nice place to live, some as pious
and consecrated people ss I ever
lived with; quite a peacahle town;
most of its citizens either at work or
engaged superintending work. Last
year, until June, our work was in the
cypress log business with or for Mr.
E. B. Taylor, the Portsmouth shingle
man, a nice Christian gentleman;
but his work being of a nature to
keep me trom my family often at
j night, and in muddy swamps, I con
cluded to change and secured a po.
sition with the Camp M'fg Co.,
which is doing a successful jumber
business; the mills frequently hav
ing to run nights to supply orders.
Noth withstanding the xgenreaf de
pressed condition of nustness, they
have not stopped at all, but are in
creasing theirsplaning capacity,
which now sometimes 'manufacture
60.000 feet per day. They are up
right, energetic "business men.
Often do we think of the happy
bowsSpent in the Grange and of the
brotherly ties that seemed to unite
its members and stimulate them to
work together to raise the standard
of society and to elevate honest, toil
ing laborers to an equal footing with
the would be lords and-monopolists
of our land in making laws by which
we are to be governed.
We always appreciate the Patron
and Gleaner as a dear letter from
home, it being published among our
people, so many familiar names
therein being mentioned and their
ideas expressed. -
My health was not good this sum
mer until I went up to Galatia and
took three and a half days recreation,
which I feel did my physical nature
great good. I met ljro. D. Cale for
the first time and felt closely drawn
to him. I met with so many of my
friends and wanted to meet and
shake the hands of so many more.
They will never kno bow much I ap
preciated the trip and pleasure of see
ing their faces. I took a flying trip
to Murfreesboro over the road I
helped too keep up a short while ; it
was apparently in good condition
considering the force on it. Mur
freesboro did not seem to be on-a
boom, though I eDjoyed two and a
half hours nicely. Then back to
Franklin where i fouDd all well and
glad to see me and pleased to know
that so much could be seen and en
joyed in so short a time.
Crops generallv good. Many ceas
es of fever f various names. Have
heard of glorious revivals at Galatia
Mt. Carmel and other churches in
dear old Northampton. May the
good work goon. Now Just please
continue doing as yoa have been,
that is, 6end the Patron axd
Gleaner to ns wherever we go and
we will endeavor to compensate you.
Respectfully.

Frontier Life on the Plains.
No. 10.
. For the Patron and Gleaner. J
There were many wa)s for fettlera
to secure raw". land on these plains,
and those who came west were not
long in learning all the different
ways, including cost each way, as
ell as the different requirements.
It could explain all this to your
readers but it may not be necessary.
However, I will sy that a settler
could not secure land from the gov
ernment in any way without putting
on some improvements, and in most
instances it required the settlers to
reside on the land a certain stated
length of t' me. When a settler went
to the land office to receive his "Pat
tent' it was necessary for him to
take two witnesses to be put ou oath
with himself, and swear
of improvements, as well as their ex.
tent and the length of time he had re
sided on the particular piece of landvl
he desired.
Now, as improvements were one of
the requirements to Decompiled with
by the settler, every thing he did on
his "claim" was called an improve
ment. Thus, when he huilt a sod ho'ise
or a dugout.it was called an improve
aaent ; or if he dug a wed. it was an
improvement, ot if he broke some
prairie, it was an improvement.
He might dig up a little stone, or
simply dig a little hole in the ground,
or braak prairie for half au hour and
it would be called au improvement;
but before he could get a"pattent" he
must prove by sworn witnesses that
his improvements, were extensive
enough to lead to the belief that he
had acted in good faith.
It sounded odd to us when we first
came west to hear people talk about
their "improvements"; We seldom
heard anyone talk about their farm,
or their place or their lanu ; some
times we would bear them talk about
their claim" their "shanty" or
"dugout" or "doby" or "sod house"
aud sometimes their? ''home" but it
was mostly about the improvements.
When passing over the country
with another, if we came to where
someone had been at work, the que
ry would be "Whose improvements
are these", or "I guess these are
Smith's improvements."
But this expression, like many oth
er frontier expressions, gradually
past away as the country "settled
up" and the settlers got their "im
provements" "patentea" or "deeded."
How we would iiice to have anoth
er old fashioned gathering of the ear
ly settlers, many of whom are now
scattered in other states, hundreds
of miles apart and some of them in
the world beyond, and have a rehears
ing of the times we had years ago.
Some things happened then that were
not pleasant but it would be pleasant
now to talk about them.

FROM GALATIA.
something about the place, peo
; PLE, school and crops.
Dear Editor : As I am teaching
the public rchool at this place, and
having seeu nothing in your most
valuable paper from here, I thought
I would give your many readers the
news in and around Galatia. This
being my first school term in this
district, and having taught now seven
weeks. I believe I an prepared to
give a true statement of the news in
genera!. First, I am deeply im
pressed with the good, people of Ga
latia neighborhood; they are kind,
hospitableand clever folks, and I
find that the latch string bangs on
the outside of the door. Besides
this, I find that they are very anx
ious to educate their children as you
will see from my reports of the aver
age attendance of the school. 1
have oo the school register serenly
eight (78) pupils and an average at
tendance of fifty five (55) for six
weeks. This proves to tilfe that the
patrons of this school are deeply in
terested in the education of their
children. . There should be a school
taught here ten months in the year.
I see no reason why it could not be
doue.
Now as to the place. Galatia has a
Baptist church, two stores ic full
Mast, one coach shop run by a cri-
ple Confederate soldier, who de
serves and should have the patron
age of the people generally; also
one cotton gin run by steam tower
to pick the farmer's cottoo, a good
