Matson is in town today and his presence has renewed the inquiry concerning the probability of his candidacy for the democratic nomination for congressman against Congressman Cooper. Democratic opinion seems to be divided concerning this probability. While some say that Col. Matson is for Cooper, others say that ho is in that attitude but will allow himself to fall into the hands of friends on convention day and will allow his name to be thrown into the convention as an anti-Cooper rallying cry and that Cooper’s enemies are making ajudicions wait for that occasion.

Mr. Parkhurst, of that denomination, at a meeting of methodist ministers today. The speaker’s subject was, “King Georgeism in the Methodist Church,” and he claimed that no one not a favorite with the bishops could hope for preferment. Dr. Parkhurst said there was an elect 400 of the methodist church which controlled the movements of the bishops by the strength of the position which their dollars gave them. The preachers who opposed the rule of the rich few knew the bishops were powerless to protect them against the attack of the nobles. Radical changes in the government of the church were proposed. The address created a sensation. Gravel Road Repairers. The bids have been opened and the contracts have been awarded for gravel road repairs in this county, for the ensuing year.
