The Monticello Spectator, (at which place Mr. Wigmore stopped for several weeks,) speaks of him very highly as a workman, and in a private letter to us the editor says he “is a high-minded, honorable gentleman.” Read his card in another column, and then call and see him if you have any business in his line.

I. One week from to-morrow is the day set | for holding the primary elections in the sevjera'l townships of the county, to nominate candidates for the different '.county offices to be filled next fall. Let [there be a good turn out, for in that way the {choice of the people can be accurately ascertained. There are no fears but that good irnen will be nominated, but it would be better ;and more satisfactory if every Republican tvoter in the county would express, at the ! primary election, his choice. We hope that ! every one who can spare the time will not fail to cast his vote on to-morrow week.
