We would respectfully re¬
mind our patriotic goldite
friends that on one occasion
Gen. Palmer referred to the con¬
federate dag as “That double
dammed rag of treason”.
Our democratic friends will
now get down to work. The
time is ripe for the proper kind
of electioneering and some of it
will be done the next few days.
Rockdale will give a handsome
democratic majority.

Better Times.
The long delayed era of good
limes is almost in sight. In a
few weeks the general election
will be over, aud the people will
then settle down to business.
The outlook for the democra¬
cy grows brighter everj r day,
but if our anticipations should
be disappointed, we may still
expect to see a marked im
provemeut in the business world,
What the capitalists want is a
settled policy, and as soon as
this is determined upou for the
next four years they will invest
their money, and our industries
will resume their former activi
It is a long lane that has no
turning, and we have nearly
reached the end of the down¬
ward road which we have been
traveling for the past few years.
This is too great a country to be

Brace up and get ready for
better times.
