WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 1C
N'OBODY’H DARLINtt.
Little and pallid, and poor and shy,
With a downcast look in her soft gray eve;
No scornful totsn of a queenly head.
But a drooping bend of the neck instead;
No ringing laugh, and no dancing feet.
No subtle wiles, ami abandon sweet,
No jewels costly, no garments fine—
Hlio is nobody's darling but mine!
No “Dolly Vardcn" coquettish airs.
No high-heeled boots to throw her down
stairs:
No yachting jacket and nautical style,
With a sailor's hat that she calls her “tile."
But 'Lady" is stamped on herwjuiet brow;
And she crept in my heart I can't tell how;
Not made to dazzle —not born to shine—
Nobody's—nobody's darling—but mine!
No saucy, ravishing, girlish grace,
But a settled calm on the sweet, pale face;
No sparking chatter and repartee;
Very silent and still is she.
White and still is ray pearl of pearls.
Vet to me she seemetli the queen of girls;
Why I love her I can’t define,
For she's nobody's—nobody's darling but mine!
Were riches hers, or a beauty rare,
She would lose her charm and beoome less
fair;
Were rings to shine on those fingers small
They conjd not add to their grace at all;
Hhe would learn to smile and to speak by rule.
In the foolish book of Dame Fashion's school;
And the world to spoil her would soon combine
Now she’s nobody’s darling—but mine!
FOUND WANTING.
How long wilt thou the mock remain
Os dwarfs who leave thee thus behind ?
Or can heroic mould contain
A lesser soul than pigmy-kind !
Wilt thou have lived through manhood's
prime,
Yet not have known what living meant ?
In the grand battle of thy time
No blow have struck, no aid have lent ?
Tliou sittost nerveless in the dust,
Unmindful of the glorious fray ;
Neglected in their scabbard rust
The weapons that should cut thy way,
Os thine own untried strength afraid ;
Nor daring to be wholly great,
Thou efferent for thine idle blade,
'The coward's facile plea of fate.
Fate! what is fate ? weak chance, that holds
Distrustful purpose to its bands !
A spider’s web, whose flimsy folds
. Are spun about a giant’s hands !
Would thou but once essay the might,
The godlike stature given thee,
Bwift as a strong frame to its height
Thou should leap up erect and free,
But fear the fate thyself may make !
For custom’s quicksand yet can drown,
And thine own powers, ungovorned, take
Bebellious force to drag thee down,
Methink that the giant s weight
Hinks lower than the pigmy can ;
And tremble, lest heroic state
Dwindle to something less than man !
SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.
BY JEANNETTE O. AXDEBSON.
I’ve seen the sunbeam linger long
Whore evening shadows darkest were,
I've known a heart made light by love,
That oft had yielded to despair.
Dark shadows mingle with bright beams,
And flit o’verlife’s mysterious ways.
Oh ! happy hearts that catch the sun,
And wear its diadem of rays.
In the sacred closet of the soul
Unwelcome shadows creep and cling ;
Anri oft create the beauteous acts
That cause the saddened heart to sing.
Out of the dust of graves closed o’er
The forms of idols dear to love,
Borings the bright beam of glorious light
That points to angels' home above.
The cross that's marked upon the brow,
Will 'mid all shadows ever shine,
Anil sorrows lurking in the heart
Hocuros the crown from hand divine.
Wo move ’mid sunny scenes and shade,
Whero purest natures know most pain ;
All hero must meekly bear the cross,
Who hope the fadeless crown to gain.
Shine glorious beam from cloudless skies,
And permeate our souls with light;
Oh ! banish, by thy golden rays.
All .shadows that make Heaven loss bright.
Give us, Oh, Father! faith in thee,
Make clean our hearts by scouring care,
And batire onr souls in that pure light,
That makes us fit the crown to wear.
REVELRY IN EAST INDIA.

Wo meet ’neath the sounding rafter,
And the walls around are bare ;
As they shout back tlieir peals of laughter,
It seems as tho dead were there.
Then stand to your glasses !—steady!

Not here are the goblets glowing,
Not hero is the viutago swoot;

And dark as the doom wo meet.
But stand to your glasses!—steady!
And soon shall our pulses rise;
Olio cup to the dead already;
Hurrah for tho next that dies!

DEroT Watchman Desperately Cut
and Beaten. —On Tuesday uiglit, or
rather Wednesday morning, about three
o’clock, just as Mr. William Fieken, the
watchman at the depot, was goiug to fire
tip the passenger engine, ho was fiercely
assaulted by three or four men, one of
whom, with a tremendous blow from
some iron instrument, struck him on the
top of his head and knocked him. The
party then fell upon him with knives,
cut liis right eye nearly out, made sev
eral incisions in both his arms, and cut
one of his fingers. As he was struck
he cried out, “Murder! murder!” and
his cries being heard by a colored wo
man living on the hill above the depot,
she cried for Colonel Blodgett, the con
ductor, who rushed to the depot, but
the assassins had tied. Mr. Fieken wa3
carried home, and Dr. S. Baruch sum
moned to attend him. He now lies in
an exceedingly precarious situation, and
it is very doubtful whether he recovers.
Mr. Fieken does not recognize any of
the parties. The assassins did not suc
ceed in obtaining any plunder, as Mr.
Fieken fortunately gave the alarm in
time. His faithful dog has not been
seen since, and it is thought he was
killed. —Camden (S. C.) Journal.
Shari' Financiering.— A favorite swin
dle ia Paris at present is thus described:
An elegantly dressed gentleman enters
a cigar store, Inivs several francs’ worth
of cigars, for winch he offers in payment
a hundred franc bill, receives his change
and walks off. In a quarter of an hour
arrives another individual who buys
some cigars, and offers a twentv franc
bill. Bntjwhen the change was handed
him he say: “I beg pardon, it was a
hundred franc bill I gave you.” The
merchant of course knows better, but
the new comer gets very angry, calls iu
two policemen, tells them he can identify
the hundred franc bill (which is of
course the saiae one his confederate re
cently left): dots identify it by a mark
on it. and the wretched merchant sub
mits to the swindle rather than be
marched off to jail as a dishonest person.
The Air-Line Schedule. —The At
lanta and liiehmond Air-Line Railway
is now completed to Black’s, forty-eight
miles this side of Charlotte. A passenger
and freight train will leave Charlotte'
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
at 7:30 a. in.’ From Charlotte to Gari
balda, the first station on the road, is
thirteen miles, to Gastonia twenty-two
miles, to King's Mountain thirty-five
miles, to Whitaker’s forty-three miles,
aud to Black’s forty-eight miles. Mr.
L. AT. Gentry will run a line of hacks
from this place to Black's, connecting
with the train at that place on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. This route
will be the shortest, quickest and cheap
est to all passing between this place
and Charlotte. —Carolina Spartan.
Colored Militia and the Cotton
Crop.— lt is learned from the Selma
Times, ot the 22d ultimo, that several
gentlemen from Arkansas were then in
Selma, looking for hands to pick cotton.
They reported that most of the negroes
in their section of Arkansas were serving
iu the militia, and the cotton was going
to waste for want of picking !

Letter from Same Old George.
j Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
I must again ask an obscure corner of
; the Chronicle and Sentinel to dis
abuse the mind of “One of the People”
with regards to a short article I sent
you for publication the 28th September.
“One of the People” speaks after this
order: “Old George Stapleton admits that
he is illiterate, and floes not understand
i the multiplication table, and as the article
is well written, the question arises, who
■is the real author ? Col. Cain, bolting
candidate for Senator, or Gen. Carswell,
the aspirant for Jmlgesliip of Superior
Court of the Middle Circuit, or some
other person.” Now, Mr. Editor, this is
a pretty broad field to call from to find
i out the real author of the article. Now
let me tell “One of the People,” and the
balance of his clique of Augusta, that
neither Col. Cain or Gen. Carswell ever
saw the article until they saw it in print,
nor no other person, except one or two
whom I read it to. Yes, Mr. “One
|of the People,” it is my misfortune
to be an illiterate man ; but God has
thought proper to endow me with com
mon sense, which enables me to make
my mark and with independence to place
tliat mark upon fit subjects that should
I wear it. As to the ridiculous remarks
made in urging the claims of CoL Cain,
i and of your clap-trap and combinations,
; ranging from a Judgeship down to Ordi
s nary, Ac., is a matter beneath my pur
pose to notice.
One other remark. “ Old George
Stapleton says the Richmond dele
gation proposed the name of the
most unpopular man that could be found
in Jefferson county. How is it that the
people of Jefferson county sent their
most unpopular man to the Congres
sional Convention ?” I take pleasure in
informing “ One of the People” and the |
balance of the people, Jefferson never 1
sent Mr. Wilkins to the Convention, j
The question then may arise, how did he
get there? If “One of the People” had |
put themselves to a little trouble they
would have readily found that he was a
voluntary substitute.
“One of the People,” speaking of the
hazarding of this election, says it is
no hazard that Richmond will give Col.
Snead a majority equal to the whole 1
vote of Jefferson county. Wonderful dis
covery. Is it anything for a magnani
mous people to boast of haring a voting
population of five thousand ? But this
is iu keeping with their boasted power.
Now, as you have shown your hand so
cleverly, we leave you, bidding you fare
well with one suggestion (while relying
upon your strong arm of power), that
you make some inquiry and resort to the
most efficient means that will insure the
pardon of your jxjlitical sins.
Same Old George.
The Settlement of the Alabama A
Chattanooga Railroad Affair—The
Governor’s Official Order.
The following is the order issued by
Governor Smith, on Monday, which
places this road in the full possession of
the new receivers and managers as ten
ants at will of the State of Georgia. It
will be seen that the supreme power
and authority of the State is fully ac
knowledged ;
Executive Department, :
State op Georgia, >
Atlanta, Ga , October 7, 1872. )
Whereas, William J. Haralson and
Louis Rice, claiming to be receivers of
the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad,
under decree of the Circuit Court of
the United States in and of the State of
Alabama, and J. C. Stanton, claiming
to be general manager of said road, have,
in writing, under their hands and seals,
admitted the possession of said road ly
ing and being in the State of Georgia,
by the authorities of the State, to be
and to have been rightful and proper;
And whereas, The said parties have
agreed to hold possession of said road
under this State, and as the tenants at
will of the Governor of this State, and
to deliver the same on request to the
said authorities without question as to
their right to demand such possession;
And, whereas, The said parties have
also admitted that the State of Georgia,
by its legal authorities, in case of re
fusal to deliver such possession, has the
right to take the same by force ; and
have further admitted that, if either of
said parties or their assigns shall set up
claim to said possession adverse to the
rights of said State of Georgia, such
claim shall be an abandonment of the
right and possession of said parties;
And whereas, The true interests of
the State of Georgia require that said
road shall be repaired and operated
without expense to the State, and which
cannot be done if the State, by its au
thorities, continues to operate the same;
ft is therefore ordered, That W. T.
Wofford, the receiver of the State of
Georgia, the sheriff of Dade county and
his deputies, and all other agents of
this State, having and holding posses
sion of the Alabama aud Chattanooga
Railroad in this State, without delay,
deliver up the possession of the same to
said Wm. J. Haralson and Louis Rice
or their duly authorized agents; aud the
said Wm. J. Haralson and Louis Rice
be, and they are hereby authorized to
have and hold possession of said rail
road lying within said State, as tenants
at will of the Governor of this State,
subject to be dispossessed of the same at
any time, when the said Governor or his
successors in office shall deem such dis
possession fit and proper; and in every
respect the said receivers shall hold said
possession upon the terms specified in
their written agreement delivered to the
Governor of Georgia, bearing date of
the 4tli of October, 1872; and that they
shall have no other rights, powers or
privileges than such as are granted or
allowed them in said written agreement.
The following document explains it

M. Smith, - Governor of Georgia, will,
upon the signing and delivery of this
paper to him, deliver to us possession
of so much of the A. & C. R. B. as is in
said State, which he holds under the
laws of Georgia :
We, Wm. J. Haralson and Lewis Rice,
(claiming to be receivers appointed by
the Circuit Court of the U. S. and for
the State of Alabama under a bill filed
by ftetli Adams ct. al. vs. the A. & C. R.
It. Cos, ct. al.) and J. C. Stanton as

under the laws of said State up to this

We agree to re-deliver possession
thereof to said Governor and his suc

appointees at any time upon demand of
us or our successors or assigns without
questioning the authority to make such
demand ; and that if such possession is
not delivered peaceably, he has the
right to take it per force.
And in case we or either of us or our
successors or assigns shall set up any
claim to such possession in opposition
to said rights of said Governor, it shall
be considered an abandonment of the
right of possession given to us under
this agreement.
Said receivers or their agents shall
also have the right to surrender the pos
session of said road to the said Gov

Provided, nevertheless, that if here

“The Rebel Debt.”— The Chicago
Tribune posts its readers about “ the
rebel debt” in a truthful manner, but
one which will not be acceptable to the
Grant party. It says:
The rebel debt is a bugbear. There
is no such debt, inasmuch as all Con
federate bonds and notes were made
payable subject to the recognition ot the
independence of the Confederate States
by the United States. If there were
any such debt the South would not de
sire to pay it, since that region already
rests under legal debts which threaten
repudiation. Finally, if there were such
a debt, and the South desired to pay it,
the fourteenth amendment conclusively
forbids it.
There is, however, a debt of the car
pet-bag States, amounting to §215,000,-
000, incurred mainly by the present Ad
ministration, by Grant’s partisans iu the
South, owned *by Henry Clews & Cos.,
and other bankers, which there is a far
greater probability our tax payers must
pay than that they will be called on to
pay the rebel debt' Most of the bonds
have been sold to these bankers for from
10 to 40 per cent, of their face. Prob
ably not over forty or fifty millions have
been loaned to these carpet-bag officers
by the bankers, and a very handsome
profit can be made by forming a ring at
Washington to induce Congress to as
sume the payment of these bonds. This
would- be more ridiculous than onr as
suming the debt of San Domingo. It
may be plausibly argued that, unless
Congress assumes their payment, they
will drift their States straight into re
pudiation, and that repudiation by eight
States would depress our national credit
and shatter our public and private secu
rities by more than §215,000,000 in value.
As they were incurred by the Grant par
ty in the South, the Grant party in Con
gress -will naturally feel an interest in
their payment—certainly moi'e interest
than Mr. Grqeley’s friends feel in the
Confederate debt.'
How to Live Cheaply. —Dr. Dio
Lewis relates how he lived for a week on
food that cost fifty-four and a quarter
cents. He worked' hard mean time, and
gained half a pound. He took two meals
a day. The following are specimen ones;
Sunday, breakfast hulled Southern
corn, with a little milk; dinner, the
same ; total cost, six cents. Tuesday,
breakfast —two 'cents’ worth of beans,
with a half cent’s worth of vinegar.
Wednesday, dinner—two cents’ worth
of beef stew, a quarter of a cent’s worth
of pepper, and a cent’s worth of hominy
pudding. Saturday, dinner—lobster,
three cents ; bread, one cent ; hominy
salad, one cent; cracked wheat and milk,
two cents. This day he had a “spree”
—cost, seven cents.
Pardoned. —Mr. Adam M. Riser, late
postmaster at Newberry, S. C., charged
with violating the post office laws, Ac.,
and sentenced to ten years’ imprison
ment, has been pardoned by President
Grant. This is a case which many per
sons have looked upon as being' done
more through prejudice than anything
else, from the extreme smallness of the
amount—one. dollar—he was charged

ANOTHER LETTER FROM CHAS.
O'CONOR.
He Would Sacrifice His Person to a I
Heathen Deity to Prevent Greeley's I
Election.
New York, October 9. —The Herald's 1
Richmond correspondent says Charles !
O’Conor, in reply to a letter addressed i
to him by James Lyons, President of j
the Louisville Convention, inquiring
whether he would give assurance that I
he would serve if elected, and if it was j
true that he said Greeley was a man of
transcendent ability, wrote the follow
ing letter:
New York, September 30, 1872.
My Dear Sir— ls I have said or writ
ten anything differing in the slightest
degree from what is contained in my
two published communications—one to
the Louisville Convention and one to
the committee—l possess no power of
language which would enable me to
speak more plainly on any of the sub
jects therein treated of. It may be true,
as you suggest, that people will
not vote for any man who will not an
nounce in a public manner that “if elec
ted he will serve them.” If so, they
will never vote for me. I should regard
such announcement as one mode of
soliciting their support. If the
Southern people did not know be
fore I said anything on the sub
ject, that one of the candidates
is a man of transcendent ability, they
are singularly slow of apprehension.
The desolation of which they complain
is attributable to him. The long and
disastrous war that filled his “bloody
chasm” with fratricidal slaughter and
involved the whole country in debt and
demoralization is due to the “ un
equalled energy” combined with the fol
ly of this one exceedingly amiable and
exceedingly mischievous man. I regard
the possibility of his election with inex
pressible aversion. If the ideas of
heathen times prevailed, I would cheer
fully surrender my person as a sacrifice
on the altar of that deity whose control
ing of events might be propitiated, and
induced to save my country from that
impending evil. Ido not write this let
ter for publication.
With unchanged and unchangeable
friendship, respect and esteem, I remain,
my dear sir, yours truly,
Ohas. O’Conor. *
Important Decision.
Washington, October 7.—The British
Commission decided an important princi
ple in two cases for tobacco burned at
Richmond. The claimants, Scotch mer
chants, alleged themselves the owners
of the tobacco in question at the out
break of the war; that the President, by
the proclamation of blockade, and the
Congress, by the non-intercourse act of
June, 1861, prevented their removal of
the same, although under the non-inter
course act the President was permitted
to license special and limited trade with
the insurrectionary districts, and as the
claimants alleged such licenses were
given those willing to take active part
against the rebellion in preference to
aliens and neutrals. The claimants
charge the subsequent destruction and
loss of tlieir tobacco to this prevention
of removal by the United States, and
claimed the United States liable there
for.
On demurrer to the memorials the
Commission decided against the claims,
holding in effect the proclamation of
blockade, the non-intercourse act, and
the practice of the United States under
them lawful acts of war within the law
of nations. If this claim could have
been sustained the United States would
be made liable for an immense amount
of property in the South owned by
aliens at the outbreak of the war.
The Southern Claims Commission
commenced its sessions to-day.
Riot in Madrid.
Madrid, October B.—ln the Cortes
the President decided that under the
rules of the House debate on a motion
to amend the address to the King, by in
serting a paragraph asking for the abo
lition of slavery, was out of order.
After tho shopkeepers manifestation
yesterday, which temporarily subsided
on the promise of A-lcadc that the tax
on show bills would bo reconsidered,
the crowds again collected on the street,
hissed the members of the city govern
ment, who was trying to allay the ex
citement, and assailed the police with
clubs and stones. The civil force being
unable to suppress the disorder, and
the rioters becoming more violent, a
battalion of the National Guards was
called aud cleared tho streets. Several
persons were injured, but none killed.
Order was restored.
Seizure of Fireworks.
New York, October B.—On Saturday,
while the steamers Charleston anil South
Carolina were being loaded, ono of the
cases gaped open and it was discovered to
contain fireworks. The Custom House
officer thereupon made examination, and
found several cases containing fireworks
of every description and other manufac
tures from gunpowder. These boxes
were invoiced as fancy goods, and were
accordingly seized. It is thought that
in this way tho steamer 'Bienville was
set on fire, as shippers of these goods
have been forwarding by Southern ves
sels for some time.
Anniversary of the Chicago Fire.
Chicago, October 9. —To-day is the
anniversary of the great fire, and many
people celebrate it by removal to new
quarters in the rebuilt portion of the
city.

its new form, eight pages, and is issued
from its rebuilt office in the burnt dis
trict. Both the Times and the Tribune

calamity and wonderful restoration of
the city.
Colored Minister to Liberia Stabbed.
St. Louis, October 9,—About three
o’clock this morning, during a heated
political discussion between J. Milton
Turner (colored), U nited States Minis
ter to Liberia, and George W. Medley,
another prominent colored man of this
city, the latter stabbed the former in
the left breast, inflicting a probable
fatal wound. Turner was carried to
lys residence, and Medley was arrested.

Chattanooga, October 9. — The Ala
bama and Chattanooga Railroad is now

deprived of the benefit of the road.
Southern Claims.
Washington, October 9. — The South
erh Claims Commission to-day heard

THE GRAND SECRET OF BEAUTY is
Health; the secret of Health is tho power to
eat, digest, and assimilate a proper quantity of
wholesome food. This can never be tho oase
while impurities exist iu the system. Every
organ must perform its functions naturally, or
the whole organism is deranged. Tho Blood
must be purified; it is the vital principle, rami
fying through every part of the body, and
when it becomes impure, its effects are shown
on the weaker organs. Du. TUTT’S SARSA
PARILLA AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT expels

COMMON SENSE.
Our bodies need repairing and strengthening
as much as the house wo live in. Constant
use gradually wears them out, and we must
renew them when they exhibit signs of decay.
This Compound will have the desired effect.
It gives tone to the body, and causes it to GAIN
IN FLESH AND INCREASE IN WEIGHT.
The entire population of the globe is in a
greater or less degree infected with tho taint of
SCROFULA.
It appears in various forms, such as White
Sweiings. Ulcers, Erysipelas. Swelled Neck,
Indolent Inflammations. Mercurial Affections,
Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin. Sore Eyes,
Syphillis, Consumption, Discharges from the
Ears, Scald Head, Cancer in the Womb, Night
Sweats, Loss of Sperm, Nocturnal Emissions,
Rheumatism, etc.
The SARSAPARILLA AND QUEEN’S DE
LIGHT enters into the circulation and expels
through thmSweat, Urine, and other Fluids of
the body, all impurities, and builds up the de
cayed eonstitutiou with SOUND aud HEALTHY
FLESH.
A constitution broken down by disease is
worse than bankruptcy. If it is the result of
fast living, tho excessive use of whisky, the
injudicious use of Mercury, tho effects of Se
cret Practices or Scrofulous taint, this Com
pound will restore health more to ho desired
than gold.

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
WE once more earnestly solicit the atten
tion of our people to the enterprise for
tlio erection of a Monument in honor of the
Confederate Dead of Georgia and'others who
were killed or died on Georgia soil. The time
for the distribution is rapidly approaching. It
will take place in this city, on the. 4tli of De
cember next. Deo Volante. There will posi
tively be no postponement. All sales will stop
on the 20th of November. The fate of this
effort will be decided then. Our people will
exhibit their gratitude for the bloody sacrifices
of their brave defenders, or exhibit to the
world their cold indifference. They will exhibit
their pride or*its loss; their apprecia
ciation of those who fell in their service, or a
disregard of the noblest sacrifice which man
can make for his own land, his people and
their homos.
We yet believe the spirits of the dead still
hannt the land they loved and for which they
died. AVe yet believe that those who live in
these haunts of love will substantially prove
their devotion to the dead “Soldiers in Gray.”
Hundreds, yea thousands upon thousands, will
wish to become shareholders in the tribute to
their fame between now and the 20th of No
vember. AVe most respertfully request them
to reflect. Those thousands of names thrown
upon us at the last moment may so overwhelm
us as to make it impossible to prepare all of
tbeir certificates, record theirnames, mail them
and prepare the numbers for the drawing on
the 4th of December. Hence much money may
be necessarily returned, to the detriment of,the
cause and their disappointment in the chances
at the distribution of the prizes. Let those,
then, who have the means and intend to con
tribute do so at once. If some are not ready
and must wait, let their contributions como as
soon aH they are able to make them to tbo
Agents in tlieir locality, or to this office.
Have no fears of trickery, or fraud, or specu
lation. Whatever may have happened in other
schemes or sections, we have an organized
Association, consisting of some of our best citi
zens. An expose will be made of all that haH
been and will be done in connection with thiH
enterprise. All will he fair and honorable.
If all the tickets shall he sold, the amount
to he distributed will be in currency, one hun
dred and tliirtv-one thousand dollars ; in real
estate ninety-nine thousand dollars; in cotton,
twenty thousand dollars, making a grand total
of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
If all the tickets are not sold the amount
received (after deducting the portion allotted
to the Monument, the commissions of the
Agents, and the sum required to defray the
necessary expenses), wili do distributed among
tho shareholders. Tlio precedence in this
latter case will be given—Ist,, to the 1,744
prizes in currency ; 2d, to tho real estate ; 3d,*
to tlio cotton.
We are pleased to state that expenses have
been much diminished by the liberality of a
portion of the newspapers, and the boundless
assistance rendered us free of charge by the
Southern Express Company of this city.
Should anv who have made, or may make,
voluntary donations to any amount, desire to
exchange their special tickets for others which
furnish 0 chances in the drawing, we or our
Agents, in this or other States, will cheerfully
comply with their wishes.
We propose to furnish two whole tickets to
tiie proprietor of any weekly paper, and threo
to the proprietor of any daily paper, in this
State, or out of it. who will publish this notice
until the 20tli of November. Iri doing this we
are aware they will be influenced by liberality
of sentiment, rather than remuneration, for
their work. , .
All orders promptly attended to.

and $4. L. & A. H. McLAWS,
