One word that good old county-and its Republican
sons The Wings of this city in great hopes that
they will carry Curtis and Bolts against White and Sci

aid of the Foreign VOTE and 2dy, the deseton of
OF your own party from the ranks We knono that they
mean to throw all their chvary upon Cole arbor and
thus the city vote will contribute to carry the county Of
Hanover We, therefore, call upon every Republican
to offset their vote far he can and we call upon
the voters OF Goochand and Louisa to turn out, aud
help their country friends.
