LONG TIME AGO.
BY GE..RG2 P. MORRIS.
Near the lake where drooped the willow,
Long time ago.
Where the rock threw back the billon.
Brighter than the enow—
Dwelt a maiden beloved and cherished,
By high and low :
But with autumn’s leaf she perished,
Long time ago!
Bock, and tree, and flowing water,
Long time ago—
Bird, and bee, and blossoms taught her
I,ore’s spell to know.
While to my fond word's she listened,
Murmuring low,
Tenderly her dove eyes glistened,
Long time ago 1
Can I now forget her ’ Never ?
No, lost one! no 1
I'll cherish her metn'ry ever.
Wheresoe’er I go.
To her grave these tears are given,
Ever to How—
She's the star I missed from Heaven
Long time ago!
MISCELLANY.
When from my room I chance to stray, to
wpend an hour at close of day, I ever find the ;
fdace most dear, where some friend treats to i
ager beer.— Sacramento Age.
“Ah! yes. my friend, of city life, sure such
a treat cures such a strif.*, but better than such
dose by tar. are pleasures of a tine cigar.’’— i
J'lacer Herald.
“Such pleasures may suit baser minds, but
with the good no favor finds, we think the
purest joy of life, is making love to one's own
wife.”— Volcano Ledger.
“ Most wise your choice, my worthy friend,
in Hymen’s joys your cares to end. hut we,
though tired of single life, can’t boast of having
our own wife; and also, when’neath our cares
we faint, we fly to kiss some girl that ain't—
yet.”—Napa Reporter.
“That ‘lager beer” will bile provoke, while
‘fine Havanas’end in smoke. To court one's
wife is better far than lager beer or vile cigar.
Kisses, the dew of love's young morn, break on
the lips as soon as born. These all are naught
to that greatest joy—the first proud glance at
your first born boy!”— Etching Ledger.
“'Tis true, a boy's a wished-for blessing, but
then suppose the first girl.' A dear sweet child
with ways caressing, with pouting lips and
flaxen curl, with dimple cheeks and laughing
eye, to come and bid ‘papa’ good-bye! So
whether boy or whether t'other, embrace the
babe and then the mother.”— San Francieco
Globe.
“The foaming beer, the rich cigar, the thril
ling kiss from loving lips; each in their time
and place by far all other earthly joys eclipse.
The first born's smile, if boy or girl, should
with the rest be counted in—to leave a single
item out, would be, of course, a perfect sin.
But when you come to count them up, and
say which gives the greatest fun, we think that
most folks want them all, and never could
‘stay put' with one.”
1 CHARAI TEIIISTIO PAROPT.
You'd scarce expect one of my ago
To smoke a cigar and look so sage;
And if I should a moustache wear,
(Although the hair is rather spare.)
Don't view me with a critic's eye,
But pass my little whiskers by,
Big aches from little toe-corns flow,
Long beards from downy faces grow;
And though my beard is short and young,
Os tender growth and lately sprung,
Yet all the whiskers in the town
Once existed but in down.
But why may not Charley's face
Be covered like others of his race-
Exceed what Tom or Diek have done,
Or any man beneath the sun !
Where are the whiskers, far or near.
That do not find a rival here ?
Or where the boy but three feet high,
Who has more fuzzy beard than 1 t
my n.vfonTEn's wedding expenses.
Hard was 1 driven, through many a stony way.
To bring my daughter to a wedding day ;
But thought not. till I gave away my idol,
1 ever should be saddled with the bridal.
An Englishman writer says, in his advice to
young married women, that their mother Eve
“married n gardener.” It might be added,
that the gardener, in consequence of his match,
lost his situation.
“ Doctor,” said a hypochondriac to his phy
sician, “lean neither sit down, lie" down or
stand ; what shall Ido ?” “Go instantly and
hang yourself" was the reply.
HOW TO TELL A GOOD TEACHES.
A gentleman from Swampvill, State of New
York, was telling how many different occupa
tions he hail attempted. Among others he had
tried school teaching.
“How long did you teach I”
“Wai, I didn’t teach long, that is, I only
went to teach.”
“Did you hire out ?”
“Wai, 1 didn't hire out, I only went to hire
out.”
“Did you succeed ?”
“Wai, 1 giv it up for some reason or another.
You see I traveled into a district and enquired
for trustees. Somebody said Mr. Snickless
■was the man I wanted to see. So I found Mr.
Snickless—named my object—introduced my
self—and asked him what he thought about
letting me try my luck with the big un
ruly gals and boys of the district. He wanted
to know if 1 really considered myself capable,
and I told him I wouldn't mind his asking me
a few questions in 'rithmetic or geography, or
showing my handwriting. He said no, never
mind, he could tell a good teacher by his gait.”
“Let me see you walk off a little ways,” said
he, “I can tell jist as well as if 1 had heard
you examined,” says he.
“Ho sat in the door as he spoke, and I
thought lie looked a little skittish, but 1 was
considerably frustrated, and didn't mind it
much, so 1 turned and walked on as smart as I
know'd Vow. He said he would tell me when
to stop, so I walked till I thought 1 had gone
far enough—then I 'speeted suthin' was to pay,
and looked round. Wai. the door was shut,
and Mr. Sniekless had gone."
“Did you go back.”
“Wai, no, I didn't go back."
“Did you apply for another school?”
“Wai, no. 1 did’nt apply for another school,"
said the gentleman from Swatnpville,
“ I rather think my appearance was against
me.”
FACT, FUN. AND FANCY
Love is like a cigar—the longer it burns the
less it grows.
Why is praising children like opium? Be
cause it's laudanum ?
Mock no man for his snub nose, for you can
never tell what may turn up.
“Good morning. Jones. How does the
world use you ?” “It uses me up. thank you.”
Why is coffee like an axe with a dull edge ?
Because it requires to be ground.
Dr. Franklin says: “If a man empties his
purse into bis head, no one can take it from
him.”
The Best of Gifts. —A celebrated writer
says the best tiling to give our enemy is for
giveness; to your opponent, tolerance; to a ,
friend, your heart; to your child, a good ex
ample; to a father, deference; to your moth
er, conduct that will make her proud of yon ;
to yourself, respect; to all men. charity.
THE POWER OF WOMAN S LOVE CRUEL DE
SERTION SAD PICTURE OF A BREAKING HEART.
A fashionable young lady, residing on
street, who has been affianced during the past
year to a gentleman in whom she professed to
recognise her ideal in every respect, and who
is re dly very handsome, polished, refined, in
tellectual, and generous, owing to one of those
“dissensions." proceeding from slight cause,
which the poet chronicle* as prone tocstrange
“ hearts Unit love,” compelled her betrothed,
in order to preserve his pride and self-respect,
to withdraw from the proposed alliance.
Such a denouement, was not dreamed of by
our fair Belgravuin ; like most women, she did
not think her lover could leave her. even after
she hud given him, or any man of spirit, abun
dant cause to do so, and when her mamma
heard how the currents of their affection had
gone awry, she feared for her daughter's heart
and happiness, knowing how deeply ‘‘Lucie"
had declared her trust.
A note was placed in the hands of the mam
ma which she was aware must contain the ex
egesis of and the adieus of the offended lover.
How could the fond parent break the sad
news to her way ward but devoted child ? How
prepare her for the sudden shock ? How cast
the thunderbolt at her feet ? The lady could
devise no means, and lacking her ingenuity in
vain, one morning when Lucie was sitting list
less and lovely in her boudoir, tearing a beau
tiful bonqet to pieces, because he did not
come, and relieving her wounded vanity by
half-tearful complaints of his cruel neglect and
inexcusable delay, her mamma dropped the
billet triete. much resembling in style, and
which we half suspect is an adaptation from
Armand's note to Marguerite Gauthier, into
her daughter s lap.
Lucie snatched it up. recognizing the address
at once, and ran her eye over the few expres
sive ami bitter lines, then let the delicate paper
fall upon the velvet carpet, amid the scatter
ed rose leaves at her feet.
Down dropped the soil white lids of her
brilliant eyes, and the long lashes upon her sat
in cheek, while the tears fell, like summer rain,
upon her jeweled hands and the lacerated flow
ers; profound sighs, aa if they rent her heart,
trembling through her lovely being; but all in
wordless silence —profound and painful.
“O. my darling." implored mamma, as she
cast herself, weeping, before her daughter, “do
not so distress yourself; forget him, he is un
worthy of your love.”
“But, then, mamma," (sobbing hysterically)
“but then—.”
“What, precious one!”
“My new—.”
“Never fear as to new gallants, you will find
1 enough. We will say you discarded him lor
I his presumption.”
“You —do— not understand ; it is more than
—that,” (with a great effort, and speaking
rapidly, as if to relieve her overcharged soul at
once,) “my new dresses are all light, mid 1 can't
wear them now, so late in the season.”
SOUP FOR NOTHING.
At an excellent hotel, not a thousand miles
from the city of Boston, they were one day
I short of a waiter, « hen a newly arrived Hiber
; nian w as hastily made to supply the place of a
more expert hand.
| Now, Barney, said mine host, mind you
j serve every man with soup, first thing. Make
' him take his soup anyhow.
Bedad I'll do that same, said the alert Bar
' ucy.
i Soup came on nt the start, and Barney, after
I helping nil but one guest, came up to the last
, one.
Soup, sir. said Barney.
No soup for me, said the man.
But you must have it, it is the rules of the
I house.
Darn the house, exclaimed the guest highly
exasperated, when 1 don't want soup 1 won’t
eat it. get along with you.
Well, said Barney, with solemnity, all I can
I say is jest this, it’s the regulations of the house,
' I and d n the mouthful else will ye get till
I ye's finished the soup.
I The traveller gave in, and the soup was gob
bled down in short order.
EXTRAORDINARY FIGHT BETWEEN A LION AND
A TIGER.
Our readers doubtless noticed, a few days
, back, an account of a tiger which escaped from
a cattle truck in Ratcliffe Highway, London,
and which, after running along the centre of
' the road for some distance, was caught by his
keepers while in the act of tearing a lad, who
unfortunately crossed the animal’s path. The
tiger, which was only eighteen months old, but
of large size, was the property of Mr. Jamrnc,
j an importer of wild beasts, and he sold it a day
or two afterwards to Mr. Edmonds, the son-in
law and successor of Wombell in the manage
ment of the well-known travelling menageries.
Mr. Edmonds has been in this district during
the last eight or ten days. His purchase reach
ed Birmingham on Saturday night, and on
Monday it joined the menagerie at West Brom
wich. It was placed in one of the ordinary
carriages, one of two compartments, the ad
joining den being occupied by a very tine lion,
six or seven years old for which Mr. Edmonds
gave SISOO three years ago. The attendants
had all left the menagerie to go to breakfast,
when suddenly those in the carriage which the
proprietors occupy were alarmed by an unusu
al outcry among the beasts. They soon discov
ered the cause. The newly bought tiger had
burglariously broken through the slide or par
tition dividing his den from that of the lion,
| and hud the latter in his terrible grasp The
I combat which ensued was a terrific one. The
: lion acted chiefly on the defensive, and having
probably been considerably tamed by his three
■ years' confinement, the newly imported tiger
j had the advantage. His attacks were of the
' most ferocious kind. The lion's mane saved
i his bead and neck from being much injured,
j but his savage assailant at last succeeded in
! ripping open his belly, and then the ]«ior ani-
I mal was at the tiger's mercy. The lion was
I dead in a few minutes. The scene was a fear
ful one. The inmates of every den seemed to
I be excited by the conflict, and their roaring
and howling might have been heard n quarter
iof a mile distant. Os course Mr. Edmonds and
I his men could not interfere while the conflict
! lasted, but when the tiger's fury had partly
' subsided, they managed to remove the carcass.
He must have used his paw s as a sort of batter
. ing ram against the partition, as it was pushed
,in rather than torn down. For the future lie
j will be confined in a carriage of extra length,
lined throughout with sheet iron. He cost Mr.

A Diabolical Yovxo Scoi kdrel. —A sin
gular afl'air is related in a Silesian journal.—
Five little children belonging to two trade-men
in Bolkenhayn, in that country, went a few
I days ago to play in a garden, and were joined
by a boy of eleven, who has always been noted
j for perversity of disposition. After a while their
j parents sought for them, but to their astonish
i went found that they had disappeared. After
looking a long while they found them lying
I piled one on another in a large wooden case in
a shed in the garden. Four were dead, and
the fifth though still breathing, was in so des
. perate a state that he died shortly after. The
lad referred to was then questioned, and he
| calmly related the astounding feet that he had
persuaded the children to enter in play—had
then slammed down the lid and seated himself
on it. remaining there for three quarters of an
l hour listening to their cries and groans. He
then raised the lid to see if they were dead,
and finding that they were not so. hail fastened
it by means of a hasp, after which lie had gone
away to fly his kite! The little monster has
been arrested.
Won’t Hang Women. —The Lancaster (Pa.)
Examiner, referring to a recent conviction of a
woman for poisoning her husband, says :
" Although the prisoner has been found
guilty of a capital offence, and may be sentenc
ed, it is not likely she will be executed. The
court merely sentences to lie be hung at such a
time as the Executive of the State may ap
point, and remands the condemned to prison
to await that time. Os late years it ha- been
customary in Pennsylvania. in case- where
. w omen have been sentenced to death, for the .
Governor not to name a day of execution, and
thus virtually the sentence is one of itnprison
i ment for life'. This, we presume, will be the
1 result in this case. There are now, we believe, in
' Pennsylvania, seven women under the sentence
I of death, several of whom were convicted many
1 years ago.”
GEORGIA AND HER DEMOCRACY,
We know no people who have shown them
selves mon- thorough Republican than the
Georgians. From the day when they claimed I
a right to share the responsibilities of the Rev
olution (from which they might have been ex- ;
enipt as an insignificant settlement,) to the ;
present, they have been alike independent, and
always on the side of what they believed the
true principles of civil liberty. Neither the
j chains of party nor the seductions of power
have bound them, when their intutive sense of'
political right lias inspired them to act.— 1
lienee we have seen them at one time Whig 1
w hen the leaders of that party were thought to
assert the rights of the States and the limita
tion of the Federal Government. When, how
i ever, the opposition to Democracy have been
organized and employed rather in the consoli
dation and enlargement of Federal power I
than in its restraint, the Georgians denounced |
the splendid deception, aud despising the ini- I
putations of inconsistency, resisted Bunks, ;
I Tariffs and National Roads. They then threw j
j their weight into the scale of honesty and
I strict construction, and gave their support to a
Democratic administration of the Federal Gov
ernment.
M hen many gallant and fiery spirits of the
South, exasperated by the taunts and aggres
sions of the North deemed the period to have
arrived when both the honor and safety of the
South demanded disunion, the Democracy of
Georgia felt that something more was due the
form of Government bequeathed them by a
Gwinnett, a Hall and a Walton. In this
spirit they sustained the Compromise of 1850,
determined to insist that its principles should
be carried faithfully into etl'ect. The battle
against their brethren was arduous and of
doubtful result. The friends of the Compro
mise were, however, successful, but with a
pledge to see that the principles embodied in
that measure should be observed.
When the Know Nothing epidemic overran
the land, the Georgians listened with favor to
its pledges of sectional harmony—its assur
i ances of economy and reform—its disregard of
| party division—its expositions of foreign inter-
I ference in our policy abroad, and the danger
! ous tendencies of alien influences at home. —
These plausible preferences, appealing to the
; freedom, honesty and responsibility of the
| Federal Government, organized a powerful par
: ty, and bid fair for a moment to govern the
State. That moment, however, sufficed to
I show the rottenness of the cause, and the in-
I sincerity of the men who led it. The shibbo
! letli of slavery was presented and the Know
j Nothings failed to respond. It was demanded
! of them that they should sustain the Kansas
' act as a corollary of the Compromise of 1850 ;
■ they equivocated, faltered and disappeared be
neath the scorn of an indignant people.
Faithful to their pledges that the Compro
i mise should be respected, the Democracy of
i Georgia went in n mass for the Cincinnati
. i Platform and candidates.
The treacheries of Walker were palpable
•to the whole people. They saw through him
i as they would have done through any other
j knave who came amongst them singing psalms
and passing counterfeit money. They had seen
I so many imposters who praised the South in
• the day and sold underground passes to their
negroes at night, that when Walker gave as-
l surances of his impartiality, yet always found
the South, in the wrong—when he pretended
to be a Southern man and a Democrat, yet suc
ceeded in excluding both interests from the
government of Kansas—the Democracy of
Georgia gave the alarm to the South. In t/ie
late State and Federal elections the threachery
of Walker was a distinct issue, and not a
member of Congress was elected who did not
condemn his outrageous violation of the Com
promise principle embodied in the act for the
organization of Kansas.
But the services rendered by Georgia to the
South are not restricted to the mere vindica
tion of its abstract rights. She has initiated
many measures of legislation, displaying the
same independent indifference to the usage of
the world. Her land system has been peculiar.
I She has never sold an acre. By bestowing it as
i the reward of valor in the protection of her
frontier; by distributing it as the encourage
! ment of industry ata later period, Georgia, in
. stead of having a wilderness without roads,
mills, churches or schools, has attracted the
, population of neighboring States, and filled her
whole interior with sturdy cultivators and de-
[ fenders.
In the same spirit of enlightened liberality,
she has invited artisans and manufacturers
. from abroad, so that she now produces a very
■ large proportion of the commodities which her
people consume.
, Iler system of internal improvements is home
‘ made. Discarding the counsels of those ex
. travagant charlatans who call themselves en
| gineers, Georgia seems to have discovered the
‘ important fact that these works, indispensable
to the reward of labor and the development of
internal commerce, do not require any necro
mancy in their construction. The Georgians
saw that railroads are composed chiefly of la-
i bor and provisions, both of which abounded
I amongst them. To combine these materials in
i a Railway required no higher “science” than
might be found in an overseer and a ne
i gro. Instead then, of importing Yankee sci
| ence and free labor, purchased by a sale of
State securities in Wall street, the planters of
Georgia undertook the work themselves.—
i They sent their sons, overseers and slaves up
on the contracts, and in a few years completed
the most profitable and efficient system of
t Railroads in the I nited States. As a proof of
I their superior sagacity and independence, Geor
gia has now a system of Railroads, the cost of
• which was not less than twenty millions, for
which the State now uw es less than two mil
lions, the balance having been paid by her
planters, chiefly in labor, superintendence and
■ supplies.
The physical improvements of Georgia, the
1 energy and success of the people, the extraor
dinary growth of her wealth and population,
have furnished the advocates of slavery with a
complete refutation of the Freesoil maxim :
that slavery exhausts impoverishes and de
populates a State. Mr (.’ampbell boasted the
superior wealth of Ohio in an eleborate exhi
bition us her products and revenues. Mr.
Stephens controverted his claims of sectional
superiority by citing the growth, revenues and
pro»iuction< of Geortria. <ii:eeia ucumuluted
statistics to show that the North owed its supe
riority to the non-existence of slavery. Geor
gia. Mississippi and Texas were brought for
ward to show n greater and more rapid aecn
mulation of all the elements of solid wealth
and popular happiness nnder the institution of
' slavery.
It is thus that Georgia, in her political, so
cial and physical system has rendered invalua- -
ble services to the Southern States, not only in
; the Confederacy, but in the prominent exam
ple of prosterity which she has given the
world.
Settled originally in good part by Virginians,
her principles are those of'7o, and of '9B-9.
Untrammelled by ancient usages and tradition
' possessing a fertile soil ami a profitable staple
I —she has perhaps engrafted upon her earlier
doctrines a system of political action better
adapted to their efficient development. It is
i thus the Democracy of Georgia have united a
\ purity of principle w orthy of those who found
ed the Republic, with a physical power which
! causes it everywhere to tie respected.
When the counsels of Virginia shall be
united with the practical energies of Georgia,
the ascendancy of true Democratic principles
: in the South will be established and invincible,
i We trust it may not be long before snch a
I consummation may be effected.— The South. \

INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION.
Brohchitit, Laryngitis, and idksr DitmasM of the
( hest and Th n>nt, KuccvMf tdly treated by the fa hala
tion of Medicated J an>l ]\nrdere, by Absorp
tion and Constitutional Treatment, as practiced at
tht Staytesant Medical Institute, Vetv York City.
r 1 MIE unprecedented success which has attended
1 this method of iseases of the Lungs and
Throat, has induced us to depart from our usual course
and avail ourselves of the columns of the Press, in
order to bring it to the knowledge of such as may be |
laboring under, or predisposed to such affections. .
The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for j
the consumptive ; the doctrine of the incurability of ■
Consumption having passed awav. We have indubi
table proofs in our possession that Consumption in
all its stages can be cured ; in the first, by tubercular
absorption ; in the second, bv the transformation of
the tuberculc into chalky ami calcareous concretions;
in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded
to the opinions of the past may assert that, even now,
Consumption is incurable, such are behind the age.
To all, this great truth must be apparent, viz: that
■ the medicine inhaled in the form of Vapor or Powder
i directly into the Lungs must be much more effective
j than that taken into the stomach, where the diseases
j do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con
sumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in
. haled in the form of Vapor are applied directly to the
i Lungs, where the diseases exist ; the stomach is thus
j left free to aid in restoring health, by administering
I to it healthy, life-giving food. There is no case so
! hopeless that Inhalation will not reach ! The means,
too, are brought within the reach of all; the manner
of administering the Vapors being so simple that the
' invalid is never required to leave home, where the
hand of friendship and affection adds su much to aid
| the physician’s efforts.
, The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
i and consists in the administration of medicine in such
a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in
' the form of Vapor, and produce their action at the
>cat of the disease. Its practical success is destined
to revolutionize the opinions of the medical world,
and establish the entire curability of Consumption.
I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all af
flicted with Lung Diseases to embrace at once the ad
vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medi
cines to the unoffending stomach. I claim for inha
lation a place among the priceless gifts that Nature
and Art hath given us, “that our days may be long
in the land," and as the only Ark of Refuge for the
Consumptive; a method not only rational, but sim
ple and efficacious.
Such of the profession that have adopted Inhala
tion, have found it efficacious in the highest degree,
. and working wonders in many desperate cases; in
I verity, a signal triumph of our art over this fell de
i stroyer of our species.

TESTIMONIAL.
Boston, July 10th, 1*57.
SLssrs. J. Burnett Cn.:—l cannot refuse to state
j the salutary effect, m my own aggravated cum, of
your excellent llair Oil—((’ocoaine.)
Far many months my hair had been faHing tin
' til I was fearful of losing it entirelv. The skin upon
myhead became grad nail V(iuore and in flam td.se that I
j could not touch it without pain. This irritated con
dition I attributed to the use of various advertised
hair washes which I have since been told contained
camphene spirit.
By the advice of mv physician, to whom you had
shown your process of purifying the Cocoa Sut Oil,
I commenced its use the last week in June. The
first application allayed the itching and irritation ;
in three or four days the redness and tenderness dis
appeared ; the hair ceased tn fall, and I have now a
thick growth of new hair. I trust that others sim
ilarly afflicted will be induced to try the same reme
dy. Yours, very truly, SUSAN R. POPE.

PROSPECTUS OF
THE STATE PRESS,
I’UBLISHED, AT MACON, GA.
IPROI’OSE publishing in the city of Macon a
newspaper bearing the above title, the first num
ber of which will be issued as early ns practicable in
October (1857). For the present ft will be a weekly
paper, but will be converted into a daily or tri-week
iv as soon as the encouragement warrants it.
I ' Believing that Macon, in view of its increasing bu
sinesss audits central location with Railroads radia
ting in every direction, is a suitable point for estab
lishing a new paper, I embark in this enterprise with
every confidence of success, and will strive by muk
' ing “ Tht State Press" worthy of patronage, to secure
for it both a local support and a general circulation.
And in order to accomplish this object no effort will
be spared to render it in all respects a valuable Fami
ly Journal—complete in its news, literary and politi
cal departments useful and interesting alike to the
Planter, the Merchant, the Mechanic and all other
classes of our population—a paper thoroughly identi
fied with whatever concerns the weal or woe of Geor
gia, and one which I hope to make acceptable to the
citizens of the State.
In politics The State Press will belong to the South
ern Rights Democratic schhool. While I am in fa
i vor of the preservation of the Union on the basis of
the Constitution, as a Southerner by birth and edu
cation, I naturally consider the rights, the interests,
and the honor of the South as paramount to all other
considerations. Hence in the of the
paper mv motto will be "Equality in the Union, or
Independence out of it." But, in my humble judg
ment. there is but one effectual means of preserving
the Union consistently with the constitutional rights
of the South, and therefore I will zealously advocate
the policy and principles of that good old Dojnocratic
party which has been our only anchor of safety during
the past, and now stands our only hope for tl fu
ture.
The State Press will be printed with new type on
a large sheet. It will be an excellent medium for ad
vertising, as arrangements have been made togne
it a wide circulation.
