Against all opposition, Richland, Conservative beyond dispute, Isas voted to divide the ticket with the re- , formers, for the Constitutional Don- ! vention.

It is not for the public good. Perhaps an ul timate analysis would reduce it to personal aggrandizement. COMMISSION MERCHANTS. No wonder there is dissatisfaction on the part of the shippers of fruit and vegetables to Northern and Wes tern markets when false returns of sales are made to shippers. These returns are often made to suit the convenience of the commission mer chant, if we are to judge from inves tigations recently made. While there are no doubt honest merchants who handle southern pro ducts, there must be others who make their business a means of sys tematically swindling the very men upon whom they are dependent for an honest living.

A protracted metting is now going on at the Skull Shoals church, con ducted by' Revs. J. D. Bailey’ and J. T. Brock. Last night while returning home from meeting J lies Hill’s horse fell and broke its neck. We deeply sym pathize with Mr. Hill as it was the only one he hud and he is not done laying by. A few days ago there arose a diffi culty between Wm. Nance and J. Ed Gault which resulted iu Gault being knocked down. Gault was seen later in the day' hunting the doctor to get something to quiet his librves.
