Nobby suits, neat-fitting and handsome, are turned out daily by Ben. McGee, the Artist Tailor, at his emporium of fashion, on the south side of the public square. A nonnliaritv of MeGec's suits is that

The Democratic county central committee met on Saturday last, to patch up the "ruction" over the nominees at the late convention. The candidates were notified to appear and were there. Mr. Pedigo declared himself ready and willing to accept the nomination for Auditor, so "kindly tendered" him by the friends of Mr. Clark. Acting upon the advice of the Pro gress, it was determined to permit Mr. Clark still to be the candidate for Clerk, and orders will be sent out to swap off Clark and Sudbury in order to elect the the Sheriff and Commissioners. The reporter of the Progress was carefully concealed in the wood-box, and he was very much amused to hear the brethren discuss the necessity for electing these three men, in order that the commissioners might grant liquor license aud the Sheriff protect the holders of license. It was said that the saloon keepers would go back on them if they didn't make the fight this way, etc. The candidates and everybody present pledged themselves to go into an
earnest campaign for the success of
such of the men as they wanted, and after an adroitly worked address by the Chairman, Mr. Fulk, the committee and candidates adjourned.
