New Candidates. —The names of
Messrs. G. A. Gran berry and It. P.
Farley are announced in this issue as
candidates for clerk of the superior
court. Both would fill the position
creditably.
Mr. J. M. Barnes, the present
county surveyor, puts forward his
name for re-election. Let the people
give him the office.
Mr. Frank Foster, a helpless cripple
from rheumatism, and a dependent
upon the county for support, desires
the position of county' treasurer. Ilis
friends inform us that he is compe
tent to fill the position, and no one
will deny that he needs it.
Are we to have a sheriff next year ?
If so, it is time someone was an
nouncing his name through the Visi
tor.
There are also other candidates for
the various county offices, whose
names arc not in this paper. How
can they expect to be elected when
they don’t let the people know they
are running ?
Jailed. —John Brooks, Daniel Ous
ley and Peter Billingslea, negroes,
were put in jail at this place on Sun
day, on a charge of stealing a bale of
cotton from the gin-house of Mr.
Jack Billingslea,
Our friend Mclntosh was un
fortunate enough to be kicked in the
mouth by a cow, a few days ago,
which knocked out one tooth and
loosened several others, besides mak
ing a deep cut in his lip.

Heroic Ladies. —About the eighth
inst., a couple of young ladies were
spending the night at Mr. Jessee
Roberts.’
Between sunset and dark they dis
covered the gin-house, containing
several bales of cotton, was on fire.
With the nerve of a man, and fore
thought which few men possess, they
procured a bucket of water apiece.,
ran to the burning house, and with
the assistance of a small son of Mr.
Roberts’, they succeeded in breaking
down the door, and putting .out the
fire, after it had almost enveloped
the cotton, with an insignificant loss.
In another part of this county a
young lady went out to oversee her
father’s hands in his absence. She
soon found example was more avail
able than precept. So she went to
picking cotton herself. At night she
found she had gathered one hundred
and sixty-four pounds of cotton.
These arc noble, high-minded ladies.
With a few more like these old Har
ris would establish a fame that would
stand the lapse of years and the crash
of ages.
If any young man should want a
treasure in the shape of a wile, look
out for one of those young ladies.
The Nominating Question.— Some
few persons here and hereabouts are
agitating the question of a nomina
tion of county officers. From what
we gathered during our trip, we be
lieve one-half, if not three-fourths of
the people, are opposed to a nomina
tion. We see no need of a nomina
tion, and believe that any attempt to
hold one will result in a failure, and
create an issue which had best not be
made. At the legislative election it
took the hardest kind of work to har
monize things, when much was at
stake. Now there is nothing of this
kind ou hand. The present election
is free from politics; the candidates
are our own county people; they all
have a right to run, and desire to do
so on their own merits; they are
good men, and are willing to a fair
race. Hence we say, if the execu
tive committee desire to consult the
will of the people —not a few, hut the
ichole people—they will oppose a
nominating convention.
23J” We announce the arrival of a
new citizen in town, who jnoved hfre
while we were absent on our lute
trip. He is a little peculiar in his
habits; one of which is, that he not
only chews tobacco, but swallows it
—-ambia and all! He never spits.
His name is Mr. Win. Goat.

lx Bad Order.— | ( ;'here is a dan
gerous covering over a ditch on the
road between Murrah’s mill and
Judge Spence’s; also a wash on the
same road large enough to take in a
horse, and so close to the edge of the
road that it takes daylight and a
careful driver to avoid an upset.
The bridge over House creek, near
Tandy Daniel’s, and that over the
Osahntehie between Hamilton and
Cat aula, both need attention. Some
ot the roads in the county, particu
larly portions between King’s Gap
and Valley Plains, and between the
latter place and Waverly Hall, need
working over.

SSIF” Mr. A. \V. Grant, lias been
living near Valley Plains for the last

THE GEORGI PIANO-FORTES.
LATE NEWS REGARDING THEM.
Thu Georgi Pianofortes have taken the First Premium over all competitors
nt the Slate Fair of West Virginia, in Kentucky, and at all other
fairs and expositions where they have been exhibited.
Their durable build and refined expression of tone causes them to be the favorfto instru

From Kcv 1, Van Bokkelcn. Rector of Jane Grey Seminary, lit. Morris, N. \.— 1 have
pianos of oilier celebrated makers in the seminary ; but the Georgi wus selected and used at
the concert as the best. It is preferred by teachers and pupils.’
From llev Win F Morrison, reitor of St Luke's Church, Buffalo, N Y—‘On having lowa
I was reluctantly obliged to part with my Georgi Piano. When I settled In Buffalo one of
my first cares was to provide my family with otic of the same manufacture. It fully sustains
tie- high reputation the Georgi instruments have in all parts of the country.’
Mr John Zurnlel, organist of Henry Ward B,ocher's church, Brooklyn, says—‘The Georgi
lias an exquisite action, and everything about it shows thorough workmanship and durability ’
llev S H MoCollester, President of linehtel College, certifies—' We have been using two
of your pianos the past year in our college. They have given great satisfaction. We regard
them as superior instruments.’
From the New York Independent—‘As they were highly recommended tons, we bought
one for our own use, and we find they are worthy of all the praise they have received.’
