CONSTABLE'S GUIDE.
vi ME scarcity Of the Revised Code and
Il Sheet acts of the Legislature, and
the difficulty with which the Justices and
Constables ofthis State supply themselves,
and the great want of such work, as a
Justice Of the Peace on my own part, has
induced me TO offer to the Justices and Con-
stables Of this State digest of all the Laws
in force, in relation to their duties &C., to-
gether with complete set of forms of
Deeds, Wills, Bonds, acknowledgements of
Dover, and other Instruments.
To place such work into the hands of
our Justices and ConstabIes would save
much trouble and time to the Officer for
whom the work is intended. As the law now
stands it is with the utmost difficulty to be
oscertained whether a written law is in
force or not, which often mislead US.
The work will be published in one Du-
odecimo Volume, law binding. comprising
from two hundred and fifty to three hun
dred pages, with digcsted index of the
contents, giving condensed statement of
all It contains.-The work will be ready
for delivery the Isl of March, 1899.
Terms made known on delivery.
GEditors of Newspapers in this State
who will publish this prospectus will re-
ceive an elegant gilt bound copy of the

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE
Z lib IR ~ ADVOCATE
JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Editor.


Notwithstanding the unparalleled pres
sure, which for the last twelve months, has
crampcd and trammelled every depart.
ment OF the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial community, the unwearied
and lndeIatigabe energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
OF higher and lairer prospect before US.
That quiesccnl attribute, which, for time,
seemed to mark and designate our down
ward proclivity to carelessness and indif-
ference, has fortunately awakened from
its sluggish apathy; and partially disin-
thralled from the fatal influence of too
blind credulity in the infallibiity of
those whom we have elevated above us,
may we not still indulge the hope, that
there is yet held in reserve, a happy re.
suit in the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstlgated, in part, by that grand revolt
ution which has already commenced, and
which is still going on in the opinion OF
the people, so far as respects the political
relations existing between the respective
States and the Federal Government, the
present Proprietor is about to embark in
the publication Of the Liberty Advocate.
Two years ago, this Journal dated its
origin, at period when, in this County,
1t had many difficulties to encounter, and
the strongest opposition TO contend with
The enduring, and, as we conceive, ortho
dox principles, which have nurtured and
sustained the journal through "good and
through evil report" had then in their in
fancy, but mere minority which sustained
1t. But, the reSistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obsta-
cles must ultimately recede, has brought
about a brighter and a fairer dawn; and
the philanthropist and the patriot can
now look in prospective upon the re-
visit of those purer days, which once
pointed to the destiny of our much be-
loved country.
The political creed ofthe Advocate WIZ
be the same which it has heretofore adj
vocated. State Rights and STATE Sorer-
etgnty, will be the arterial action when
shall give life and animation to its poIlu'
cal characteristic, while exercising 'e'
noclty for those principles which will new
or yield to caprice, the columns ofthlsJour,,
lal will, at all times, be open to liberia,
discussion, and offered as ready chanhel
o the tide Of passing events, and an ac-
,eptable organ Of general science and USE
Ill knowledge.
We cordially invite the patronage o. all
hose who concur with us in sentiment, az
veil as the magnanimty ofthose who ols
ent from US in politics, to cooperate ~ Sus-
aiming the press. The Advocate viii IN

PROSPECTUS

The extensive and growing interest o
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm
provement, and its increasing literary ant
scientific demands, have awakened atten
ton to the fact that i'll this highly impor
tant portion of our country there is NJ
journal or paper so exclusively devoted tc
literature and science, advocating the doc
trines Of no party.
Feeling the necessity Of such a paper
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly
ceum have commenced the publication OF
a periodical entitled "THE SOUTH IVES
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to liera-
ture and science, and all subjects interest
ing to the general reader.
1t is published semi-monthly, in the CT
| ty of Natchez, and contains sixteen small
qnarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen-
ny Magazine" and is protected by good
envelope, so that it may be conveyed to
any distance without injury.
1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this :;
and every one who feels pride in any en-
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and mora! character ofour country. should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise
! Pecuniary emolument constitutes no part
OF the object of this publication. 1t is not
intended to benefit any individual or the
Lyceum in a pecuniary point of view.
The sole object is to advance knowledge
and dlttuse taste for the refined enioy-
ments ofliterature and science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plIshment of the wishes Of the Lyceum
but the patronage Of the community; and
it is expected that this patronage will be
promptly and cheerfully extended.
All communications in reference to The
periodical should be addressed, post paid.

Law The Loco Focos writhed, wriggled,

OF one OF the most useless and obnoxious

you've go for a repeainot suspension. The
Wings wish to wipe off this hnmbug now

ever did, and the rnnaiag fire the Loco Fo-

look at and look round it, snarl at itand run
