Newton Correspondence.
Newton, Tex. Oct, 7th 2871.
Edi or News Boy.
Dear Sir.
1 wish to chronicle in the
columns of your estimable paper,
how we are coming on in this part
of King Edmunds Dominion.
Things are about right side up in
this county, especially as regards
ti e election; wc had puaca aud qui.
otude during the same, not the least
Uipsatisfaction among the holders of
the election, the police, and the c.t-
izeus, all want off admirably.
Democrats doubling tbe Radicals,
and m your l'olk county correspon-
dent says, we have got the bottom
rail on top, we cast 292 votes, 97
ol which wag Radical and all fif-
teenth amendments but one white
tiegro; unfortunately we must, it
seems always be cursed,
least oue white negro to
the d—1 among the black
we had hoped when wc
with at
kick np
negroes;
got rid of
Dr. Dillaaid we would not be cur-
sed any more with such nuisancos;
but it is our fate, and we must be
resigned thtroto. But 1 tell yon
Mr. Editor, that he occupies an an>
cuviuble position in tuis county, ha
ii hated and hissed at by every
true Democrat, he ia cursed aud
anathamatised from one end of the
county to the other, and when io
the company of Dtmocrats looks
like a condemned sheep killing dog.
The citizcas of this county done
nobly at this election, they turned
out better than usual, registered
aad voted, but there are many
lukewarm, who a little more encro
gy would kelp, and 1 think if we
can carry the state this time, it will
buoy up those don't care sort ot
fellows, and if we have a general
election this tall, 1 hare no doubt
but we will thribbi* the radical
vote in this county, we kare doubled
it thia tiae. • Huzza for Uerndon.
Health of our county good; cot^
ton picking advancing finely, the
people seam to be ckterful and
happy, no pablic schoo1 organized.
The supervisor passed threugh oar
county once under whip, add ap-
pointed a board of Directors, has
left them in the dark, and the
whole mashiiiery is stultified and
stopped. It is the duty of some
oae to District the counties into
School Districts, if aot how are we
to know where to build or locate
school kouset. 1 wish Mr. Ftnck
would enlighten ns on tkis point.
Mr. Editor do you not think that
thia whole pablic school, with its
present organization ia a farce, a
radical hoax, and will eventually
bo abrogated.

Our District Nominees.
The nomiaaiions made by the
Convention at Jasper,ou Thursday
12th give alrr.est univerbal satisfac-
tion. It is itnpocsible to nako
nominations to please, everybody,
dot we bolicvo thesu carnc as near
it ws any nominations ever made by
a similar body.
The well known Col. ArmHtroeg,
of Je.ffernen, sacrificed interest and
inclination, to a sense of duty, and
allowed himself to *()• considered
among the uuinbers from which'
choice should bo made, of a man to
serve us in the Legislature. His
consent being known his nomina
tion was carried without a single
dissenting voice. He is probably
the most efllcient man that can be
chosen. He has been thoroughlv
tried in times and circumstances
that have proved him well. He ia
an old citiztn of this fctate, has
been with us n long while, has wor
kt-d for us, and foajht ft>r p , and
is unquestionably (he man lor the
times. His ability and integrity,
Ins energy and industry have long
ago pointed hiin out ns the people's
proper minister, and the people are
all satisfied to entrust him with
their interest.
Another nominee if, our young
friend Harrison Ford of Newton,
a universal favorite with those who
have the pleasure ol his acquain-
tance. Lie was raised here with
the people of this siutt. lu $ lie
late struggle Le proved hisde.-o-
tion to tlie home ol hisclnldhoo'
proved bis pridfl^ of cliuracUT
proved his.uiidjunftd CjUiHi/w and
his love of liberts, by shouldering
li s musket ami marching io tli;
Iroul to delund and protect the
loved ones leii behind. At . the
close of the war ho returned to the
his books, ai.d to day he is one ot
the most promising young men in
the stale, and the Principal of the
Burkcville Institute. H s election
is a tixed lac.r, and i>s a member ol
the Legislature the people of clns
District vyill be proud of him.
I he oilier nominee is Dr. White,
head of Tyler, lie is undoubtedly
a most effective man, a good man,
whom the people v.i i bo d^iiyiited
to honor, lie c< mes sirougly en-
dorsed by men ol merit, aud his
steadfastniss of principle, and his
zealous devotion io the cause of
Democracy was all vouched for in a
manner that was entire y saiisfnc
tory to ihe members ol the Cohvcii
tion. There seems to be no ques
tion, about his fitness lor the posi
tion, but he is totally unknown to
"your bubsciiber."
It is Imped our people will bo
utiiled iu the support of our nomii
nets. ' VVe can elect theni by 2800
majority ii every man will do his
duty, mid the inan wno lads io do
his Juiy now is not worthy the
name of freeman. Aud one should
not be satisfied with casting his
own vote right, but he snou d see
to it, .that his laborers are lus'ruc
ted ifr their duties, ho should uo
with tliem to tlie polls, and not let
them lie misled by tl-.'inngogues a'fid
hypocrits. Let every one ko to
work wiiiingly iu this mcasuie.

THE JASPER COUNTY
PAIR.
Wo rejoice to say, has been a
complete suoceas. Tbe enterpri.
sing citizens of onr county had de
termined, succeed or tail, to make
the experiment, and nob'y have
they performed the measure of tho
duty required at their hands.
A large space in tho heart of our
town had beon enclosed for the pur
pose, nnd all tho necce^sary bond-
ings erected thereon to accommo-
date tho mighty multitude, an^ dis
play the cumburless articles jjrodu-
ced by industry, and constructed by
skill, that wet'o entered for lxhibi>
tion. Eachvman foeling that uo
stimulus could be appliod to ener>
gy aid invention, more powerful
than the critical skill .of Judges,
the admiiation of visitors, and the
omulous rivalry ot competition. .
The result has not only been
gratifying to tho members of the
Association, and the citizens at
large, but the prospective good is
uo small element in the satisfaction
felt. It has given our people confi-
dence in their own ability to sue
ceed, and stimulated a spirit of eti'
torprisc in out sister counties to in-
aujciato'a similar proceeding of in-
dustry amoug themselves, or join
with us in mailing a stupendous
success, of the Agricultural A/e
chamci:1, and Blood Stock Associa,
lion of South Mast,Texas. A senso
ul courtesy, not less iii&n deserved
merit would Isad us to tiio indus-
trial exhibition of the
Ladies Hanimw^juk.
Here were piles ol qqiits of every
variety, some us white as the un-
trodden snow of the loftiest mouii
tains, beautiful, ami adorned with
needle work that would put to
shame, Singer's, Wilcox & Gibbs
and (irover If Bakers machines,
tliut clicked hard by. Others with
crimson hearts, afi#'others as pure
aud stainless as the morals of sweet
sixteen. Others with blushing
roses, bursting bu<Li, and cunning
little cupidd, hiding in tlie crimpcu
borders, and pe. ping out u! the
graceful fringe.
Here were iittlc suits of clothes
to fit little humanity, from 12 inch-
es high, to (j feet 6. IIore were
woolen stockings, and fancy socks,
which had uo inequality fron'i iop
to toe. and woolen yarn that might
be stretched a inilr, without spot or
bk'iins i, and as faultlessly smooth
us the strings of u harp Here
wern collars of every cut, ami gar'
me ii i s of every siz\ indeed ail
things that the active brain of lair
woiran cou:d conceive, or their an
tistic fingers execute.
Wo must depart from generaliza-
tion to mention an article or two,
from the artistic hands of Mrs. Col.
B.ouut now far advanced in life,
consistiug of 12 pieces ol Embroid-
ery, more beautil'nl than any picce
of .Machine French work we ever
saw. A piece of home tnaue Lin
say of Mrs. Win. McCree, warp and
woof of the finest wool, touchcd
with all the exquisite colors of the
rainbow, and as substantial as the
everlasting fabrics fonnd iu the cat-
acombs of Egypt. Mrs. Everett
Armstrong exhibited a coverlet of
wool, that resembles the oriental
gardens in richness of color, profuse
and splendid in substantial and
lasting decorations. But wc must
desist, time and space spur ns on.
The Household and Culinary
Department could not have been
surpassed. Mrs. Seymour White
even surpassed herself, in the num.
berand variety ol delightful Jellies
Wines, rare CatBups. Canned Fruits
inviting pickles, and healthful Cor<
dials, and nouo looked better than
they tasted. She deserves a dozen
prizes for accomplished skill ia thiB
all important, and essential Depart-
ment.
