Times-Enteki-rise: Inasmuch as the town of Thomas- illc lias endorsed Hon. 8. G. Mc Lendon for the House, nml tho denv ocrats of this county bare since tho days of reconstruction, with ouc ceptioa, sent one man from the town and 011c man from tho county to the house, I suggest that the county pre sent its choice for the house to the meeting called by the chairman Dcm. Ex. Com. for the 12th inst., and with Mr. Mcl-cudon have him endomd. By adopting this plan, we will oid tho first primnry usually held, and save the voters going to the polls twice. As Mr. Hardeman lias retired from the gubernatorip' contest, 1 fur ther suggest that the 12th would bo a good time to appoint aud instruct delegates for Col- W. J. Northeu.

Mrs. Fannie Fitzgerald, of Boston has returned home 'after visiting rela tives. Mr. May Dekle Misses Annio Dckle and Lucy Sills, went over to Cairo Sunday. Miss Annie remained over with relatives a few days. 1 Distance lends enchantment le.ist in respect to somo candidates we know. We guess they are happy now, ns they can run around to every picnic and 'alliance meeting, tell the parents how pretty aud swret their little owns are, make a stump speech and come down thinking “What a big man I am.” Well, ’tis a blessed thing we have a big opinion of our- solves. Mrs. G. M. McMillan, Mrs. Julia Bullock, of Cordclo and Mrs. Emma Johnson, of Macon, arrived Monday to make an extended visit among rel atives.
