A private dispatch brings tho in telligence that T. L. Kitchens was nominated yesterday for representa tive by tho third party contingency of Worth oounty.

The barbocue and rally of the Ty Ty democrats last Friday was a suc cess and passed off very pleasantly, so tiic Oaskttb is informed. Judge D. If. Pope and Capt, W. E, Wooten were the speakers. Mr. J. B. Davis and family will move from Sycamore to Brunswick. This family is sn acquisition to any plaoe and there Is no wonder the News asserts that Brunswick’s gain is Sycamore’s loss. Aye, ^erily! The Lowndes county/primary re sulted in nominatiuy Col. W. 8. West for represrntijnve and giving E. L. Moore a plurality of 24 votes for seuator.

Good- The democracy of Brooks connty held an enthusiastic anl triumphant rally last Thursday. Hons. Hobt. L. Berner. Jot* James, McK. F. Mo- ook and Henry O. Turner wen the speakers. It was demonstrated during the speaking that tho democ racy of Brooks county will havo t large aud influential colored follow ing in the present campaign. Tho Primary. Last Saturday was tho day set apart by the democratic executive committee of Berrien oonnty for the holding of a primary election to nominate a candidate for representa tive in the legislature and also to ex press a choice for senator from the sixth senatorial district. Primary elections rarely ever ex cite any very pronounced enthusi- in Berrien connty, for us a gen era! rule the people are opposed to them and, therefore, take no interest them. They hove nearly ever slnoe the county’s cxlsteuce enjoyed the excitement of a “scrub race,” when, os the saying goes, “The long est pole took the persimmon.” The democracy of Berrien county has beer, solidly united ever since the war until now, and such a thing us nomination, by primary or by nuu meeting, was ttunecessary. But the advent of the Peek-Post combine, commonly known as the third party, makes a democratic nomination at this time necessary for the good of the party and the people. To do otherwise would bo to invite defeat and disaster. Still, a great many country people take no iuterest in a nomination and {thereby do them selves a great injustice. In the primary just past there was it one candidate for the Domination for representative—Hon. 11. II. Knight, one of the splidcst and best men in the oounty,/And he received the total of 54^'.^otca cast. There were three candidates for the senato rial nomination—RobL F. Ousley, Kilns Ia Moore and William W. Webb. Onslcy received but few, if any, votes in the oounty. Moore re ceived 224 votes aud ' Webb 327. Webb’s majority is 103. The vote of Tifton district was cast almost solidly for Knight aud Webb. Do ynn know that Plantation Chill Cure is sold under a positive guaran tee? It costs 50c. per »>utlle, but if It fails the mouev will be given back to you. Dr. J. 0. Goodman.
