Silver Convention
Would it not be a good idea for
the people of Habersham county
who are interested in having silver
restored to its proper place,on a par¬
ity with gold—to send delegates to
the free coinage convention at Grif¬
fin on the iSth of July?
If no convention be called we
hope Col. J. W. Robertson of Por¬
ter’s factory will attend and repre¬
sent old Habersham. We are cer¬
tain he can do it with credit to
himself and our people.
We suggest that a county con¬
vention be called to convene at
Clarkesviile July 2, for the purpose
of selecting delegates to attend the
free coinage convention aforemen¬
tioned.
We shall be glad to hear from
those who .are interested in regard
to the county convention.
