NEWPORT NEWS

AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT CAMP KING-The number of troops which have lately gone into Camp King has given the place no little importance as a public resort.  To accommodate those of our citizens who are desirous of paying the camp a visit, Captain Ed Air will today commence running the ferry boat Cincinnati Belle to that point, leaving the foot of Lawrence street, on the opposite side of the river, at ten o'clock A M and at two and four o'clock PM. The fare each way is out a trifle.

THE COUNTY CLERKSHIP-Captain Ed Air, late of the Newport and Cincinnati ferry boats, is a candidate for Clerk of the Campbell County Court, subject to the decision of the Democratic Convention, which meets at Alexandria tomorrow.

Captain Air is will known to the entire community to require any word of commendation from us; suffice it to say that if he is elected we believe he would fill the office with ability and fidelity.
