MADDOX Editor Every democrat ill the county owes it both to himself and his country to turn out and vote on the is 1st Wednesday there is this in January. time It true at no nominees, open opposition but it to difficult the regular tell is to at what moment there may spring up a stubborn and unexpected foe that work lias been doing undrground by for many days. We are no means alarmed ove.i the result of Wednesday’s people election provided the turn out and vote, hut as we have had more than one intimation that there has been an effort tion ticket made to feel produce an duty opposi¬ we it our to make this public notification, which will be ample enough for every purpose. Our first impress ion was to let the question of oil position crystalize front, and come open¬ de¬ ly to the as it was our cided belief it would; but as it has not, we are forced to make the statement that opposition to the regular nominees is possible. plain Therefore, it becomes the duty of every democrat to turn out on election day and vote. A hearty vote is an honor to the party and the an appropriate ■compli¬ ment to nominees. Our farmers seem very much impressed with the importance of raising grain and meat in tho fu¬ ture. It is late but better late than never. With corn in tlie ertb and bacon in the smoke house they need .have no fears. A witty lady says; “If you want to find out a man’s real disposi¬ tion, take him when lie is wet and hungry. If he is amiable then, dry him and fill him up, and you have au angel.” To My Friends and Patrons Last June I was tendered the coprincipalsliip of Oakland sem¬ inary with Prof. Murray, I accept¬ ed tho situation on the condition that the house was to be repaired sufficiently to accommodate com fortally the school that would be in attendance. Nothing, it would seem, has been dono in that di¬ rection and as the time for opening tho school for 1889 approaches, it becomes me to decide upon wliat I shall do. As tho time is too short to make tho necessary re¬ pairs at Oakland for the beginning of the school 1 have decided that I will resume school at my acade¬ my on Mill streot, on Monday, January 14tli and continue there until the proper repairs have been made oil buildings at Oakland. I do this as a matter of justice to to both myself and Prof. Murray. There is not room or accommoda¬ tions at Oakland seminary at present to properly instruct the united schools. As it now is, I have- comfortable room in my building for eighty or ninety scholars, and Prof. Murray has room for, perhaps, more than that number at Oakland. For this, and this reason alone I have con¬ cluded to teach at my academy on Mill street for the present at least, and sincerely hope to receive a lib¬ eral per cent of the school patro¬ nage of tlie town. With my standing pledge of faithful and careful instruction and tlie mamtainanco o! good dis¬ cipline. Most respectfully yours, It. A. Guinn. A Profitable Business.
