Kditoh rxiox Times:?Last
week rain and wind did a great deal
of damage to crops and land in this
section. The bridge at Thomson's
mill was carried over the dam by the
freshet last week and is now lying in
the ford of the ereek below the mill,
completely obstructing it.
Several petty eases are now pending
before our Magistrate's court.

Some sections of our country arc
still suffering from the effect of w hooping

When the support of such papers
is the Louisville Courier Journal, the
Richmond Times, the Philadelphia
rimes, the New York Sun, and a
intuber of others that we eould menion
go against us, it is no easy job
o overeome their influenee. Some
>f these ]>apers have always been
democratic and they hate to part

iftv of the leading Democratie Jourinls
of the country have left us. Our
National Democratic committee may

Crops are looking fine where they
have escaped the high water and
fierce wind.
Our people are getting well mixed
up on polities, and the woods are getting
full of candidates.
The chain gang is doing some good
work in this section now. But much
more still remains to he done.
We are having plenty of watermelons
now. The fruit crop is generally
good and the leisure seasons is expected
to firing several pleasant occasions
with it.
For Jug tales and bragging, our
section can heat the rest of the county,
I verily believe. In fact we are
headquarters when it comes to this
part.
Farmers have ^>iip to chopping
through their cotton this morning.
The cotton crop has in some places
hern greatly benefitted hy the recent
rains.
Some people are very inquisitive
to know what Mr. T. .1. Hughes was
doing in Cross Keys last week. Well,
that is not everybody's business.
This is election year, you know, and
I nele .leflf is a candidate.
Since the freshet and the destruction
of the Thomson's mill bridge, we
have had no mail from Union. We
hope the county will soon see its
chance to restore us our outlet and
that the line of communication will
he resumed at once.
The Salem people expect to observe
Thursday of next week, the 2-Jd inst
as children's day and the people
generally are invited to attend,
especially does this invitation extend
to Tin-: Timks editor and staff of
correspondents. The ladies are requested
to bring their baskets well
filled and cheer the occasion with
their glorious presence. We can't get
along without them.

that they were gentlemen. Nohody
got drunk or disorderly that 1 know
or ha\e heard of. Camp 1 tiles was
well represented and we had much
to he proud of and hut little of
anything to regret. Owing to matters
over which I had no control. I have
heeli unahle to meet the Tl.MKS
readers with my letter for several
weeks hut from now onward I expect
to give them a weekly letter.

candidate for Congress, deliver ll>e must
simple and logical argument on the
tlnancial question that we !ia\e e\cr

practical that wayfaring men. though
fools, may not err theiein. Mr. Johnson's
style is unique: he does not follow the
popular modern mode of abuse instead
of argument. This is the third time that
he has come here and spoke for its. and
we have yet to hear of one unkind, or
abusive word escaping his lips against
his opponent, or any one else, lie spoke
of his opponent, simply that he was not
making a still hunt, in going alone, but
said that he had invited Mr. Wilson to
meet him on the lield ami discuss tii"
