MtReed bas long been before

Of all parties to be a man of ability.
The Washington Post say 6:
',, I'SFW WCtly partisan stand.
DOint. Mr. Reed's nomination was
theiwst that could have been made
i From the standpoint of expediency,
' or even of sound policy, it may be
jtfiltiltofferently. However, it
depends largely upon Mr. Reed
whether his selection prove wise or
jnrwfsjiv "A? - tb-e preset writing
our bemocratic friends are more
than satisfied with the result; the
Republicans accept it with grace it
not mva one mind.
"Mr. Reed brings to the Speak
ership a knowledge bred of long
familiarity with public men and
public affairs, a parliamentary ex
perience that will render its merely
routine duties easy of performance,
an integrity of personal character
that never has been assailed, a
courage that is seldom surprised
and never daunted, and a devotion
to party principles and party
methods that knows no shadow of
turning.9
Mr. McFherson, the clerfe, is re
turned to his old position. Long
DraefJce has made him familiar
witn the duties of his office. Some
of his past acts have been severely
t orltlolsea, He is an ardent JSepuo
' lican and always uses bis office to
advance the interest of his party.

We have just learned that there
will be another exodus tomorrow
(Tuesday.) ' :
Miss Mary Pollock, who has been
afflicted with cancer for several
years, died Sunday, aged, 62 years.
Seed cotton has been brought to
Trenton during the past week in
large quantities. We suppose,
though, that it is almost all in. ;
New river trout were plentiful at
Trenton on Saturday last, Belling at
8 to 10 cents apiece. -Eggs are
scarce and sell readily at 15 cents
per dozen at Trenton.
We 'see a notice posted on 'the
streets 4f Trenton tint there will
be a series of religious lectured' de
uvered at Trenton by a reformed
drunkard, beginning on the 9th of
December next, tree to alt and all
are inviieu.
We learn that several of tbe
oolored men from (J v press creek
and lackahoe townships areexo
dusting to the Wilmington and
unsiow itanroad to uia&u mooev.
We are inclined to believe that
their heads are level.
There will be a very important
meeting ot Trenton Alliance on
Saturday cext. We trust that
every member of this Sab Alliance
will be present, as there will be
business of importance suggested
WQicn we desire to -nave every
member to pass upon
We learn from Mr. 1. Jones, the
agent at Trenton, that be has en
gaged 25 hands at Tientou and
sent them to work on tiio Kiaston
and Greenville Railroad today
(Monday) and yet others were ap
plying. We think th.kt Kansas
and railroads will tako all the
colored laborers from the farmers
of Jones county.
We learn that letters have been
received here containing urgent re
quests lrom hunters of the adjoin
ing counties for our citizens to
secure from the Jones eonny exo
dusters a lot ot fine coon dogs.
Let me inform you, gentlemen, fine
coon dogs in Jones county are re
markably scarce ; but if .yo were
to request "lick flklllets" we can
furnish you a car load of real,
genuine leiiows, ot all colors, spots,
sizes, and conditions, some of which
can polish the inside of a greasy
sKUietto snintngperfection ; others
that can steal the eggs from an old
setting hen without her knowing
it; and, lastly, we have an in
definite number that are so thin
and poor that when thoroughly
aroused all they can do is to lean
against a sapling and growl.
Please say, gentlemen, which kind
is wanted, in your next letter.
Proceed in gs of County Commissioners.
