The April Election.

Ed*. Rbpuhmcas:—By a rownt chango in the time of boiling election* for certain township offices, it l»'C**nif* necessary ty, hold n irenerul election throughout the •tale. Due nonce lias been given of this •lection .nit conve’itious are being held and nominations niude by both parties. This fast draws party lines and makes the duty of every ItepoDli -an plain. At ’.he iame time the election s pem-rnl, it is local, in tha: the offices to be filled are township •Bices. This fact makes the election the more important. The officers to be elected are township trustees, road euporin lendenls, justices of the |»<mico, and constables for each township. This localizes the •elei-tion and throws the responsibility on each township. In a county "er state election a partial vote in one part of the county or state may he counter balanced by ff full vote in another part. This is not •o in this election; the responsibility is individual.

In a local election of this character,there *re usually some very knowingly wise voters who wsh ty pnra-te their political courage (on how little they really do know) and vote an independent ticket or a mixed one, Such action cannot be too severely condemned, such votes are lost to the party which the voter represents, and do neither party any good all this difficulty ■can ha obviated by noniiMating the rigid men f r cich office, upright honest moil, men of of opinion o questions likely to bo presented to them- men who know to which political pat tv they belong without being told; men who will perform the dude* oT ■4heir office for ihe good of the people and -■the party they represent. It is no time tor reform* rs, half-breeds, and Detnocr.itic-na-tior.als to be runn ng on Republican tickets and claiming Republican support. It is much easier to carry a close town ■hip than a close county; a close county than a close state. It is also easier to hold what you have than to, let it go to the opposition and then reclaim it; so it follows that if a sufficient number of the townships c n be carried at the April election, the county c«n be carried at the fall election, if a sufficient number of too counties can be carried then the state will remain where sbe is politically. If anyone doubts that th« movements «f the Republican patty in this county are not watched by the present county officers of the opposition, let hint notice the gymnastics of those well-mean-ing officers. Even the County Superin- \ tendent, a man ho thoroughly non-partizan a- to iu-truct bis committees at county institutes to prepare non-political resolutions to be passed bv that body, is laboring hard to secure a majority of Democratic trustees, that bis re-election to that offiee may be « c roi.

V\ bat do these thlnes mean? They mean D'-mocratio c intiuuaiian iu office; tlu-y mean democratic supremacy in the county and state. Lot Republicans understand this Let them understand the importance of the elect ion; then he at your place on election day, vole the ticket, persuade others to do so, and carry the eleoiions in eve y township in the county. t IVuk Awakk. m ••• Go to Haraar s and examine the Line Gold Watch and 8 day clock. <!•> to Hardman’s and examine the Eilver watch and set of Ladies Jewelry.

- - - There is another rumor that the continental railroad company have authorised their agent to procure the right.of way through Jasper county. Were it not that thia rumor had been passing around at intervals for twenty years or more, some credit might be given it now. While such a line as the proposed Continental wonld be a grand enterprise, we fail to see the object of two trunk lines side by side from east to west, operated and owped by the same company. The Chicago and Atlantic is nearly completed, and we believe until it gets into Fulton county itis built all the way on ike old continental railroad. If this be the fact, it will yet be a long time befor the latter road is built.

Go to Kannal’s to buy your non-explosive Elaink Oil. it gives better light, bums longer, and does not smoke up the lamp chimney like ordinary coal oil, and we sell it at 30c a gallon. Try it and be convinced. Mr G. F. Delaney, of Norfolk, Va., writes: “It gives me great pleasure to experience once more that gloriously good feeling of perfect health . 1 was buried in despair, my back constantly pained me, and from head to foot I felt thorougly ill. I could not walk across the yard without fatigue. Nothing I eat agreed with me. Do. tors couid do me no good. I tried Brown’s Iron Bitters. They have given me perfect health and strength.” MSP —— In the North American Review for April, Gov. Eli H. Murray, of Utah, treats of the existing crisis in the politioal fortunes of that Territory. According to the present method of local government there, the minority of the population, the Gentiles, though they possess the greater part of the Territory, exclusive of farm property, and thongh they constitute by far the most enlightened and

enterprising portion of the community, are practically without a ▼oice in legitlation. The author proposes a drastic yet entirely practicable remedy for these and all other evils prevalent in Utah, An article entitled -‘Why they Come”, by Edward Helf, is devoted to the consideration of the many important questions connected with the European immigration to this country. Dr. Henry A. Martin, replying to a recent article by Henry liergh, defends the practice of vaccination, citing official statistics to prove the eiiicacy of bovine virus as a prophylactic against the scourge of small pox. E. L, Godkin has an article on “The Civil Service Reform Controversy”; Senator Riddlelierger on “Bourbomsm in Virginia”; and General Albert Ordwuy on “A National. Militia . Finally there is a paper of extraordinary interest on the exploration of the ruined cities of Central * America. The autho , Mr. Charney, has discovered certain monuments which conclusively prove the comparitive re centness of those vast remains of a lost civilization. The Review is published at 30 Lafayette Place, New York, and is sold by booksellers and newsdealers generally

New Bloomfield, Miss., Jan. 2 ’BO. I wish to say to you that I have benn Buhcring for the last five years with a severe itching all over, i have heard of Hop B tters and have tried it. I have used up four bottles, and it lias done me more good than all the doctors and medicines that they oould use on or with me, lam old and poor.«but feel to bless you for such a relief byjrour medicine and from torment of the d ctors. I have had fifteen doctors at me. One gave seven ounces of solution of arsenic; another took four quarts of blood from me. All they could tell was that it was skin sickness. Now, after Ihese four bottles of your medicine, my skin is \*ell, dean and smooth as ever.
