153 SEPTEMBER 1, 2, 4, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION The UNION’s force, who will vote for the first time next Wednesday, have a good start at the attainment of their majority. They have a good business at their fingers, and that they will conduct themselves that their old age will see them neither in want nor in sorrow, we hope as well as feel sure. We congratulate our two young gentlemen. NEW LOCOMOTIVE.—The Directors of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Company have ordered a new locomotive, from the Baldwin works in Philadelphia. This new machine will be of the same size and pattern as the locomotive No. 1 (Grass Valley), now in use on the road, and it will arrive here sometimes in the latter part of November. The Directors are preparing for all the contingencies likely to occur in a severe Winter. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1877 “FOR THE CONVENTION.” Those who want to vote for the calling of a State Convention, should have the words “For the Convention” printed or written on the ballots. The Democratic tickets are so printed. Those opposed to the call of the Convention should have the words “Against the Convention” on their ticket. The law on the subject does not require “yes” or “N” to be on the ballots. Election officers should make their returns in accordance with the law. All the ballots having “For the Convention” should be counted and returned as favoring the call. The Republican tickets in this county are printed “For the Convention—yes.” Persons and Things. Senator Sargent arrived in Nevada city on Friday night. We have heard that he will probably make a speech before election day. Brigham Young died last Wednesday. He can not be called the ex-founder for the Mormon church. He died because he ate too much green corn, and did not wait until the grain got ripe, so that it might be distilled. His deal is a warning against people fooling with corn in any of its solid shapes. Tough not, taste not, handle not, saith the sage. ELECTION RETURNS.—We will be under many obligations to officers of elections, or to others who have the opportunity to do so, kif they will forward us full returns at as early a moment as possible. Sometimes one friend neglects to send results to the newspapers because he thinks some one else has already done so, and too often the result is that results can not certainly be known until the Supervisors meet. We prefer having half a dozen sets of returns than to be without any. Send us returns and we will promptly acknowledge the favor. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1877 MARRIED. At North San Juan, August 28, 1877, by Rev. S. M. Rhoads, Mr. JOHN C. HICKMAN, of Relief Hill, to Miss ELLEN BECK. CANDIDATES. Vote for John C. Coleman, for Senator. He is one who has always stood by Nevada county, and has always been one of the most active and effective promoters of its material interests. He is ever ready to sustain all our good institutions, and no charitable object ever appeals to him in vain. He is a clear-headed man, who understands the ants of the county, and is the peer of any man living in honesty and integrity of purpose. He has always stood by the workingman, through deeds more than by words, and that with the purest unselfishness. He was brought up to work for himself, and he knows what toil is. There is not to-day, in Nevada county, a more active and busy man than John C. Coleman. If you want a man of principle and who stands firmly by the right, give Mr. Coleman your vote.
