Marriage licenses were issued to Keep on thinking about the Trace's carnival, because it will be the most attractive event of the season. Capt. Stackpole has purchased the J. M. Welch residence and will occupy it soon.

It is one of the finest in the city. We wish to thank our friends for the way in which they are paying up on subscription. All who pay up this month wiU place us under special obligations to them, and we will try to reciprocate. Geo. H.Theile, the old reliable abstracter, finds that bis business is growing so rapidly that new books are required, and more room, in which to safely keep them, needed.

Consequently he has disposed of his old safe and purchased a much larger and finer one which has been fitted up with roller shelves. We are glad to note this evidence of Air. Thiele's increasing business. A delegation of about twenty of the good people from noth of Iladdam were before Superintendent Crown Tuesday last, all be- ing interested in the lormaiion oi a pro- posed new school district in that vicinity. The territory of the new district was mapped out.

Being good people as before remarked there was none that is, hardly any of the bitterness and animosity that usually crops out at these little conventions. All shook hands before returning home. "It is well for brethren to dwell together unity." Thoughtful republicans will be very apt to make a note of the way the "cat was let out of the bag" at the democratic convention last Tuesday. The decision of all such is that they have had quite enough of independent wool pulled over their eyes and hereafter they will do the pulling act themselves and it will be republican wool or nothing. Mr.

Woodrum has been led into committing a fatal error by not having his candidacy endorsed by his own party. It has ade plain the reason for not wanting it done, and republicans will be all the more vigilant. Just as we go to press we are reliably informed that our fellow townsmen, J. M. Welch and F.

F. Farrish, have bought out the largest retail hardware store in St. Joseph, and will remove to that city at an early date. Mr. Welch has already closed out his large interests here, and Mr.

Farrish will follow suit at once. We are sorry to see these gentlemen and their excellent families leave us. It will be a long time before their places will be rilled. They do not leave Washington because they have not done well here, but because St. Joseph offers a larger field for their capital and ambition.

F. Stribling, who has been visiting Wm. Stribling for several weeks, started for his Indiana home Tuesday last. He has a strong impression that he will some day make this county his permanent home. He was accompanied as far as St.

Joe by Wm. Stribling who will take in the great exposition in that city. Editors Joslyn, Hood, Munger and Clarke were delegates to the democratic convention Tuesday. Joslyn made the effort of his life save one in trying to convince the country delegates that they were chumps. In other words that when "our" committee had taken action it was their business to keep mum and not question its action.

He succeeded in convincing the majority. Mrs. M. S. Denman, of Day, mother of our C.

who has been visiting the latter in this city, started Monday for Henry, Marshall county, 111., to visit her old home. Mrs. Denman was one of the early settlers of this county where she has reared a large family of boys, some of whom have already forced themselves well to the front in the business world and the others are rapidly getting theie. A E0AKING FARCE. NO TICKET NOMINATED SIANY DELEGATES RETURN E02IE i IN DISGUST.

The democratic convention met Tuesday last, and instead of 157 delegates there were less than om-third of that number present. J. G. Lowe was elected chairman, Dillie Muoger secretary and G.G.Goodwin as sistant secretary. The usual cormoittees were appointed and the convention took a thirty minutes recess.

The coauxduee on permanent organization and order of business had a stormy session, but by a majority of one final. reported to the convention "that the temporary organization be made permanent, that a central committee be chosen, and mat we acjonrn to meei vciooer rz." After a motion had been made te accept the report and discharge the committee, Geo. Cutwater, ot Linn, wanted to know the reason for adjourning; they had come there to co the work or a convention and he Dronosed that they co ahead and nomi nate a ticket. Somebody suggested that it was a scheme of the Washington hotel keepers to get more dinners out ot them. As the chairman of the committee, Sam'l Clarke was mum.

Atty. Joslyn, of Greenleaf, proceeded to say that tne committee certainly knew its business and hinted that it was not just the right tning to speak out there betore some ot their enemies, the republicans, and tell just why for the sae of Mr. Woodrum, theyfhad better not nominate him: that Mr. Woodrum was a good democrat, just as good a one as any present. That he was running as an independent and the thick skull thirty day men present ought to know wny.

lie nada 1200 republican majority to overcome and ne could only overcome it Dy running as an independent. Dr. Livingston of Llanover, resented being called a thirty day man, and in a manly speech insisted that the convention goon ana complete its work as a convention should. He thought democrats who expected to become candidates before the people should have shown they were true democrats by allowing a democratic convention to nominate them, and not run in defiance and disregard of all party precedent. (Applause.) The convention was now getting into a great wrangle, and Bro.

t'larke tried to pour oil on the troubled waters, lie signally failed, however, for he had no sooner taken his seat than Mr. Outwater was on his feet and poured such a volume of hot shot into the camp of the schemers as they never before He said: "There is something dark about this business. If we are democrats let us be democrats and come out in the open light of day to transact our work. There is nothing to be done that we need to be ashamed of. I don't know whether our chairman is into this scheme or not, but I do know that there is a nigger in the wood pile.

We may as well adjourn to 13 as UctoberlS Shall we go home and tell our people that we haveh't got a democrat nttonolda county office? I propose that we nominate a man that even our probate judje can vote for." The question was finally put and carried. after which central committeemen were chosen from about half of the townships. the ren ainder being left that the October convention might have something to do. The convention adjourned to the street, wnere those wno nad oeen duved had a good opportunity to speak out in meeting, and they improved it right well. It was the most discordant convention ever held in the county.

We would advise the bosses the next time they have a little scheme to carry through that they admit some of the country delegates at least some of the warriors into their councils. It might save another rumpus. HAEVZST EXCUESI0N VIA THE EUEL- IXGT0N. August 0th aiid 20th. September 10th aud 24th Octohar th, 1869.

When he returned the horses had got beyond the control of the small boy who was left to hold the lines and were dashing up the street at a furious rate, with the boy -bouncing around in the back end of the wagon.

At Stackpole Tobey's corner they struck the lamp post, snapping it off like a pipe stem and shivering the lamp into a thousand pieces. They then shied into the street, ran a short distance, turned in towards the Washington House and were stopped by Ed. Patrie, who held them with a lirm grip, while the boy was lifted unhurt from the wagon. Beyond the injury to the lamp post no damage was done, but it was a narrow escape, as the street was full of teams and people. Mrs.
