An interesting case of domestic
complication has been brought out
in Reading. A married woman
left her husband and wrote to a
yonng man, who was their board
er, reminding him of his promise
to give her money if she ever came
to want. lie sent her eighteen dol
lars and promised twenty dollars
to go to the Centennial on. Then
she went back home and told her
husband that the young man had
made all the trouble, and the hus
band had the young man arrested
to keep him away from the house.
The mayor asked her if she thought
it was right to take the young
man’s money that way, and she
said; “Yes,l am sorry I did not
get more.” “Solid woman,” said
the husband, and they went 1 oine

would you think of such a ease?”
“Think,” answered the girl immediately.
“Why, if he was poor, 1 should think
that he was doing just right iu keeping
still about it.” The question was dropp

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OP 1876
which include- National, State and county ©Lo
tions, and which will undoubtedly bo the most
active and hotly contested of any since tho me
morablc canvass of 1860 is now fairly opened
The National Democratic Party will this year
make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful
struggle for tho maintenance and supremacy of
those principles which are vital to the prosperity
of the Republic and essential to the well-being
! of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
State governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to ho unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the
war the people of that Radical-ridden State will
elect a Democratic S ate government. In these
campaigns the people of the South are deeply
interested; and every intelligent, citizen, who
has the welfare of his country and bis section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every detail
of the great work of redemption aud reform ilia*
is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an
independent Democratic newspaper,of pronounc
ed opinions and fearless in their expression; a
paper that is recognized everywhere as the best
daily in the South. Its editorial department is
vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its
news and local departments are marvels of in
dustry aod completeness. Its department of
Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere batren summary of events transpiring in
those States, hut is enlivened by comment at
once apt, tiwo'y, and lacy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, and by means of special correspondence:
and through thes • agencies the paper will be
the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy inci
dent of the political campaign of 1876.
