This paper goes on record as
saying right liere> right now, once
for always, (if that will do), that
any Southern man who puts him¬
self before the public as an advo¬
cate of the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman silver law either
doesn’t know what he is doing or
carries with him a spirit that

ple.

ance.

There have been some able,
earnest and prayerful sermons de

heat have been on ice so many
years that it will take more than
two bellows and more than two
weeks work to get them even
heated. The ministers can well
shake their raiments and.depart,
they have done their duty. That
they have been disappointed is
very evident. We thank them
for complimenting the town upon
its good behavior during the
meeting, the kindness and gener
osity of the people. A very ap
propriate benediction to the last
sermon nreached would be and
now in conclusion, good Lord,
hide thy face from this people,
withokl thy hand, they care for
neither. Let them quietly and
peaceably go on to hell, die eter¬
nally and be damned. They
the'reaeh m -
are beyond of Thy word.
