We are certainly glad to witness its appearance, as it was never more needed than now.

The freight and passenger trade on our various railroads, has been largely on the increase since last I wrote, and from this time until cold weather, we do not apprehend that it will be necessary to write about dull times, as they will not be here. Our citizens have uttered up by the engines on the railroads, and indeed it has been the worst nuisance that our place is troubled with, as night Is made hideous with their noise, much to the annoyance and discomfort of to woo the tion was making whistling a and it will soon cease.

A County Treasurer and a County Surveyor are to be nominated, delegates selected for the State Convention, and a Central committee chosen for tbe ensuing year.

Primaries will be held on Saturday next. County Treasurer being the only office of importance to be filled, the main Inquiry is as to whom shall be chosen for that responsible position. If the Republicans get out good anti-Court House men they will stand a good show of carry- Ing county. The Democrats held their Connty Convention at Carllnville yesterday, and nominated for Treasurer: James Wood, of Woodburn for Surveyor, Mr. Winchester, the present incumbent, and farther we have not heard of their doings, no published account having yet appeared, and we believe no delegates were appointed from Virden.

Rinaker, being a home quite popular, the Republicans of Macoupin will doubtless support him so long as there Is hope of his nomination, but should it become evident that he cannot be nominated, the gallant Dick Oglesby will be their man.

His "peremptory" letter, declining in any event to become a candidate, don't lead them to believe he will not stand if nominated, and serve If elected.

Editor i Alton Telegraph RAIN AND WATER tbe past two weeks this section has been visited with occasional fine showers, which were much needed. They have done the late corn much good, but were too long deferred to bring out fully the earlier planted. Our information is that there will be a fair crop of corn if all goes well. Throughout this section there has been much more difficulty ia getting water from wells the present summer than heretofore; more some farmers inform me than ever before. Owing to the pretty thorough draining of the farms in seasons of long dry spells, the former sources of supply being here is serious difficulty, es- wltb those having demands for large quantities, such as stock men, to get an adequate supply.

Almost every farmer has dug one or more new, or deepened old wells, and in many cases with very unsatisfactory results. The wells in this section, however, are comparatively shallow, and by sinking deeper more constant supply, and a better quantity will doubtless be obtained. NEW new and extensive stock of hardware, stoves, tin ware and furniture is being put into the fine rooms in the brick block on the west side of the square, formerly occupied by J. H.
