Stew art, tbs'present Ordinary of this ebunty, has been publishing some very pretty cards about bis candl daoy for election, and it was not until be bad thus began to try and turn the popular wlfl of the people In his favor that I decided to go into print myself and tell a few things I know nbout bis wonderful capacity for the high position be oeenpies. Two years ago a widow lady, whose husband’e property was being administered upon, was allowed by him $3,000 per year for living until tbe estate was set tled. On making tblr allowance he said -ft was fully email enough and he Would see that she should have that much. When the matter came to a trial he repudiated his decision and out tbe allowance down one-half. This was all right, if be conscientiously thought he was doing his duty. But listen: The day after the mat ter was decided by him, he met me on the street and said: “Ifl have lost any friends by this matter, I have gained some good monied friends on the other side." Had it not been for the respect I have always tried to have for grey hairs, I would have made a sand bag of bint, then and there. Tms is the man who calls upon the people to keep him in office, that he may, by listening to tho voice ef i^oney, rob those whose interests are placed within his hands. iNNOCENOr. County, Dec. 24,1884. Rabbit Dogs. Late Wednesday afternoon Mr. John Walker drove into town, fol lowed by a dozen dogs, of all kinds —fox hounds, cars, and flees "of low degree." He was evidently on a hunting exoursion, but not a fox hunt. “Are they fox hounds?" asked the astonished Recorder man. "Oh, no; only rabbit dogs, but they are the best of tbk kind in these woods.” Fruit and Vegetable Store. 0. H.

From a source of annoyance the flying jennies have become a real nuisanee. The unearthly din which thoy keep up Is enough to drive the business men crazy, who are so unfortunate as to live in that neighberhood, and is well calcu lated to frighten a horse out o( his wits. The town would rejoice to be relieved of thoir presenoe. Christmas Bonn of Jas. Frick- er fit Bro.
