and ‘bumatarian’ nominee of the republicans stands for the same thing
‘o-day. Would Ibe my father’s son, if to-day, the last survivors
of the quartetle, if I betrayed that father and his 83 years of demo

’ At my mother knee I was taught to “look not upon tue wine

and a boftle of good rye whisky. If any man can truthfully say that

if any man will say that I have put whisky to any man’s lips, except
as a medicine, the same offer holds good. ©+ I was born and reared

I saw DEMOCRATS put it out of Dalton, Brum\;ick. Georgia,
and put it in the Constitution. I have seen the only attempt to en
force it in this seciion by a local DEMOCRATIC government.
And vhile talking prohibition I ask to known, if you the writer

Was your father a Confederate soldier? Did he rear you a

me once that the South would “get more” if we voted the republican

Democratic ticket, Do as Democrats should do vote your couvie- l

Of course the fact that Al Smith was born and reare( “on the
Sidewalks of New York” would not appeal to the “silver spoon set”
but as the “Happy Warrior,” who has four times whipped out the
republicans in New York, and dispite a republican legislature gained
the plaudits of a republican press and leaders, is greeted by hnndred
of thousands of people and cheered to the echo, championing the
cause of the miner, the farmer, the luborer, at the same time guaran

Does the assertion a republican press that New York cannot al

The harvesting of 167 quarts of
black scuppernon grapes the past
season by Mr. T. H. Willey, of
Homeland and readily sold at 10
cents per quart. Taken into con
sideration the small cost of the
vines and care of this wonderful
frait and its ready sale, is it not a
wise thing to do for those who
‘have homes to plant a vine or so
‘of grapes for the home supply as
well as a little pin money.
There are fonr fruifs that are
natural to tnis section, they require
ordinary care only and prove good
annual pearers of delicious and
wholesame fruits. They are figs,
arapes’ plums and pears. Every
home that have them, can always
boast of the best jellies. preserves,

Now is the to begin preparation
for the plantitig or renewal of your
present supply. Aud we might
also drop the hint that if you wish
to add to your menu something
