Scroggins, the popu lar candidate for sheriff, gave the Observer’s subscription list some assistance yesterday. He voted a Coggins ticket too. Would it be funny if the Observ er was to fell its readers of a few candidates who didn’t vote for Cog gins? Those who did will not take exception to this. Quite a number attended the ex hibition at Silver Shoals last Fri day night. It was the closing of Prof. Brigg's school. The exercis es were good, and the attendants reports a pleasant time.

On Ilia and Sud d . ‘ n was only a political sense, id era both gentlemen ol honor, an ihotified with the county’s commercial, agricultural and edu cational interests. Their friends were deceived in the democratic party’s principles when they put these gentle in the field to oppose her organization. Capt Eniek Anderson and Col. John Hill, Sr., were two among the oldest democratic veterans, who were at the polls yesterday. It is not necessary to say they voted with the organized democracy. Is this not a lesson for young demo crats to vote the organized princi ples? If there were mistakes in it these old democrats would have discovered them ere now. Look out for the Big Show!
